What We Think

Morbius is startlingly non-woke for a recent Hollywood film, sticking to well-worn genre formulas without pushing any modern ideological messaging. It’s more guilty of being bland than of trying to score points with the activist crowd.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Morbius mostly sticks to comic book tropes, focusing on the main character's origin without heavy-handed identity politics or box-checking. The plot may lack depth, but it doesn’t appear to sacrifice story or realism for the sake of demographic representation. Cast decisions feel more about recognizable actors than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable agenda undermining traditional values. Masculinity and family bonds (such as surrogate brotherhood) are central, and the narrative doesn’t subvert gender roles or rewrite cultural touchstones for modern ideology. It’s a by-the-numbers antihero origin story.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t make a point of mocking or villainizing traditional views, nor does it sermonize about modern political issues. There's little to no discussion about race, gender, or ideology at all, just old-fashioned comic book drama.
