What We Think

Tekken (2010) is all about fighting, not preaching, much closer to a non-woke old-school action flick. It may lack narrative depth, but at least it doesn’t shovel viewers a social studies lesson between kicks and punches.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Tekken (2010) is mostly focused on action, with characters and casting choices that reflect the game's established look and themes. While some identity box-checking might sneak in for side characters, there's little evidence of heavy-handed ideology overriding narrative logic or character skill.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film deals in broad action tropes rather than attacking family, religion, or traditional masculinity. If anything, it leans into fighting spirit, rivalry, and struggle. There’s minimal attempt to rewrite masculine or cultural archetypes, and the story remains fairly neutral on modern 'woke' themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t really engaged, nor are they mocked. Villains exist, but their motivations are more personal or corporate than ideological. There’s no obvious effort at pushing a single fashionable worldview, and most 'morality' is basic action-movie fare.
