What We Think

Queen of the Damned is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. It’s far more concerned with gothic ambiance and vampire drama than preaching any ideology, no forced diversity, no tedious subversion of tradition, just fangs and frantic rock music.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Queen of the Damned mostly sticks to the core vampire lore, with casting choices and character arcs driven by the story rather than identity politics. There's little evidence of forced representation or surface-level focus on identity themes over actual characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film takes its usual Hollywood liberties with religion and morality, but more as gothic stylization than an overt critique of traditional family or gender roles. Masculinity isn't pathologized, Lestat is still allowed to be masculine, if rather moody.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t particularly promote any modern ideology, nor does it mock dissenting viewpoints. Outside of the typical alternative vampire lifestyle, there’s little ideological messaging to be found here.
