What We Think

Spider-Man: No Way Home swings clear of heavy-handed wokeness. Its focus is more nostalgia and genuine character development than ideological lecturing, making it one of the less woke entries in recent superhero lineups.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Spider-Man: No Way Home largely prioritizes compelling storytelling over ideological messaging. Characters are chosen and portrayed based on established lore, not just identity markers. The film emphasizes classic superhero themes like sacrifice and redemption, rather than using its runtime as a diversity checklist.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie doesn't go out of its way to undermine family, faith, or masculine virtues. Peter’s journey is about personal responsibility and self-sacrifice, not subverting tradition or poking fun at masculinity. There’s respect for legacy, especially with the return of past Spider-Men.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While modern Marvel humor exists, there's no strong effort to caricature traditional views or create an ideological echo chamber. Alternative perspectives aren’t overtly villainized, and classic values remain intact throughout the plot.
