What We Think

"Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" is refreshingly non-woke, with its playful take on coming-of-age themes and a focus on fun over politics. If you’re looking for a rare modern comedy that doesn’t try to lecture or signal, this zombie romp easily fits the bill.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks to classic genre tropes and prioritizes story and character archetypes over identity themes. The characters are not defined primarily by race, gender, or sexuality, but by their personalities and comedic roles. Forced representation is absent and nothing feels shoehorned for diversity points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, loyalty, and friendship are celebrated, not ridiculed. Adolescent awkwardness and humor play a big role, and there’s little to no subversion of family or cultural values. This is more of a throwback to 80s-style teen comedies than anything modern audiences would call "progressive."

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t take itself too seriously and doesn’t shove any particular worldview down viewers’ throats. Alternative perspectives aren’t villainized or mocked – it’s more interested in slapstick, gore, and raunchy jokes than any form of preaching.
