What We Think

In our view, “Liger” is about as non-woke as a mainstream movie gets these days. It keeps its focus on conventional themes and avoids check-the-box representation or heavy-handed social messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Liger” runs as a pretty by-the-numbers sports drama, focused on the male protagonist’s journey to MMA glory. Identity traits play a minimal role in driving the narrative; instead, it tries to stick with underdog themes and standard genre tropes. Forced representation or hyper-competent diverse leads are not central to this film.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn’t go out of its way to mock or undermine traditional masculinity, family, or cultural values. The lead’s masculine drive, mother-son relationship, and patriotic undertones are all maintained. There’s no apparent subversion of gender roles or significant rewriting of tradition to serve modern ideological agendas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are neither caricatured nor villainized. There is little evidence of ideological posturing, and the story avoids engaging in any overt political or social messaging. The focus stays on sports rivalry and personal struggle, so ideological uniformity isn’t a concern here.
