South Park: Post COVID: The Return of COVID2021

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

South Park: Post COVID: The Return of COVID is the polar opposite of a "woke-fest." It skewers everyone and everything, deftly avoids ideological monoculture, and never lets narrative get hijacked by identity politics. Old-school, no-sacred-cows satire at its finest.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

South Park is famous for satirizing everyone, and "The Return of COVID" sticks to this, with identity factors rarely overshadowing character. The film prioritizes humor and social commentary over agenda-driven narrative choices. Representation feels more like a tool for comedy than forced messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While South Park pokes fun at various cultural institutions, it seldom singles out religion, family, or masculinity for mockery in ways that feel ideologically motivated. Instead, irreverence is spread broadly, with tradition and modernity both in the crosshairs, keeping it mostly balanced.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film lampoons all sides, giving traditional and progressive perspectives a fair share of ridicule. There's no monolithic worldview; if anything, viewers of every perspective are in for some light roasting. Sincerity isn't their thing, but neither is heavy-handed villainization of alternatives.
