What We Think

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is refreshingly focused on entertainment over agenda. While it hints at some modern themes, they’re mostly surface-level jokes rather than full-blown “woke” sermonizing. If only more blockbusters kept this balanced approach!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the film has diverse casting and some gender-swapping humor, it primarily focuses on fun, character-driven arcs rather than pushing ideology. The characters are flawed and learn from their experiences, avoiding the typical “perfect hero” trap. Forced representation seems minimal and organic within the body-swapping premise.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes of friendship, redemption, and personal growth remain at the core. Some light jabs at masculinity and a few winks at modern culture are present, but the film doesn’t undermine family, religion, or cultural norms in any serious way. Gender jokes are mostly for comedy, not a sermon.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There aren’t overt efforts to villainize traditional viewpoints, and most characters represent classic archetypes. While the film lightly pokes fun at gender and nerd stereotypes, it never gets preachy or pushes a singular worldview. Differences among the characters are part of the setup, not a social commentary soapbox.
