In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

'King Cobra' leans into woke themes with its LGBT focus and limited treatment of traditional values. While somewhat balanced in its true-crime storytelling, its prioritization of identity and lack of genuine ideological pluralism pushes it into notably woke territory.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film is clearly rooted in LGBT themes and centers around a real-life case within the gay adult film industry. While it dramatizes events for entertainment, the focus on sexuality as a driving force sometimes comes at the expense of nuanced character exploration, and there is a noticeable emphasis on identity over universal themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film does little to highlight or explore traditional family, religion, or morality, and presents those aspects as largely irrelevant or even sources of repression. Some viewers may see this as undermining cultural foundations in favor of modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film primarily offers one worldview: that of its LGBT protagonists. Traditional perspectives are portrayed with little nuance and sometimes as antagonistic forces, with limited representation of dissenting views in a sympathetic light.
