What We Think

“Steven Universe: The Movie” is practically a masterclass in modern wokeness. If you’re looking for strong doses of identity-focused storytelling, subverted gender norms, and an ideologically unified cast, this is your pick. Subtlety? Not so much!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film openly prioritizes identity, inclusion, and self-expression over traditional narrative tension. Character arcs revolve around personal acceptance and non-traditional family structures, and some characters appear to be designed with modern identity politics in mind rather than traditional storytelling merit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family models and masculinity are largely sidelined, while alternative family structures and themes of fluid identity are front and center. The story heavily subverts classic gender roles and presents non-traditional relationships as unchallenged ideals.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There's a noticeable absence of dissenting or more traditional perspectives. Nearly every character is on board with the show's inclusive ethos, with those who initially disagree portrayed as misguided or in need of enlightenment.
