Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Godzilla (2014) sticks closely to a classic monster movie formula, focusing more on spectacle and survival than identity politics. Characters are written with traditional family and military roles in mind, and none are cast or emphasized primarily for diversity points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, sacrifice, and duty remain intact and are even celebrated. Masculine heroism and parental responsibility are foregrounded, with little to no attempt to undercut traditional values or rewrite cultural expectations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the military and establishment are portrayed imperfectly (as is genre custom), there’s no overt mocking of alternative views or aggressive ideological messaging. The film keeps its focus on spectacle, not sermonizing.
