What We Think

Kull the Conqueror is about as non-woke as it gets. It’s a throwback fantasy adventure that doesn’t bother with the identity checklists dominating Hollywood today. Expect old-school heroics with none of today’s social engineering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kull the Conqueror sticks to its sword-and-sorcery roots, focusing on heroics and traditional fantasy tropes. Casting and character arcs are straightforward, with little emphasis on modern identity politics. Narrative integrity is largely preserved, and characters are set up based on their roles in the genre, not recent ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film leans into classic themes of masculinity, heroism, and even includes romantic storylines that would be considered quite traditional today. There is no noticeable subversion of family, religion, or masculinity, if anything, it embraces them in a somewhat cheesy fashion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of woke monoculture here. Traditional values aren't mocked, and alternative worldviews aren't villainized in the modern sense, villains are motivated by classic fantasy evil and ambition rather than ideology.
