What We Think

For a Hollywood historical epic, 'King Arthur' is relatively non-woke. While it tweaks legend and gives Guinevere some action-hero moments, the film’s focus stays on camaraderie, sacrifice, and complex choices rather than pushing a modern social agenda.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film makes some modifications to established Arthurian legend but mostly keeps characters' motivations rooted in the story rather than modern identity politics. While Guinevere is presented as a strong warrior, it mostly fits this world's setting rather than being just for representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Masculinity, duty, and personal sacrifice are central to the film, and the story doesn't seem interested in undermining religion or family. It does reinterpret certain traditions but does not overtly mock them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film features plenty of internal debate among the Knights, and even with its unique historical spin, it doesn't turn dissenters into caricatures. There's little sign of a modern ideological echo chamber.
