Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero remains focused on classic action, character growth, and high-energy battles. Characters are portrayed primarily based on longstanding traits and abilities, not identity checkboxes. While Pan gets some spotlight, it doesn’t come across as forced or at the expense of established heroes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, mentorship, and even masculine energy are positively depicted throughout. There’s no mocking of gender roles, and the film emphasizes themes of perseverance, legacy, and teamwork without subverting established cultural motifs or traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t villainized, and there’s no obvious ideological messaging dominating the plot. The story presents varied viewpoints through classic hero/villain dynamics, sticking to what has always worked for this franchise.
