What We Think

Predator 2 is an old-school action film unconcerned with modern woke trends. Character choices and themes are dictated by genre conventions, not ideology, making it refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Predator 2 tells a straightforward action-horror story with casting and characterization driven by the narrative needs of a brutal urban thriller. Diverse characters are present, but their roles feel organic to the setting and not forced for ideological reasons. The story focuses on tension, survival, and individual skill.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity is front and center, with Danny Glover's gruff, no-nonsense cop taking on the Predator. The film doesn’t undermine family, religion, or established social orders, and avoids overt cultural revisionism. It leans into classic action tropes rather than subverting them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't villainized or mocked; characters from various backgrounds interact without ideological grandstanding. There’s no modern ideological uniformity, just the shared goal of survival against a deadly alien threat. Any social commentary is subdued and secondary.
