Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Solomon Kane puts character and story first, focusing on its brooding, titular antihero rather than shoehorning in identity politics. The casting and character arcs appear natural and in service to the narrative, with no forced diversity or rewriting of established traits for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like redemption, faith, good versus evil, and the importance of family are front and center. Masculinity is not mocked; instead, the film treats strength, sacrifice, and religious conviction with a sense of respect and seriousness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed message, and alternative views, like the struggle between violence and pacifism, are given genuine consideration. The world isn’t painted in simplistic, modern identity politics terms, offering genuine plurality and moral nuance.
