What We Think

Dragon Ball Z: The World’s Strongest is about as far from modern 'woke' trends as you can get, a straightforward, high-energy martial arts adventure untouched by recent ideological fixations.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film remains focused on action, adventure, and martial arts without forcing modern identity politics or overemphasizing character traits unrelated to the main story. Casting and character abilities reflect the Dragon Ball universe’s established lore, not contemporary ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like friendship, honor, and determination are front and center. Masculinity isn't pathologized, and the narrative doesn't attempt to undermine or lecture on religion or family structure. It's very much a product of its time, largely free from revisionist undertones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little in the way of contemporary ideological messaging or villainization of traditional viewpoints. Good and evil are clear-cut, without caricatured portrayals of dissenters or a push for uniform, modern moral assumptions.
