What We Think

Dragon Ball Super: Broly is just good old-fashioned anime action. If you’re looking for non-woke entertainment that values hard work, strength, and legacy without identity lectures, this is the explosive power-up you want.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dragon Ball Super: Broly sticks to its core shonen roots, focusing on action, rivalry, and character-driven growth rather than pushing any overt ideology. Identity politics and forced representation are virtually absent; the story is more concerned with power levels than diversity quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film emphasizes family (especially Saiyan lineage), honor, and the value of strength, classic themes for the franchise. There's no effort to subvert or lecture about gender roles, and masculine virtues are celebrated rather than sidelined.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No modern ideological messaging is pushed. Ideas about heroism, pride, and personal strength are at the forefront, with little to no caricaturing of tradition or alternative viewpoints, unless you count evil space tyrants as 'the establishment.'
