Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film primarily focuses on adventure and classic hero’s journey storytelling. Character selection and development appear based on narrative needs rather than current identity-driven quotas. There’s a bit of comic relief and some dated stereotypes, but nothing that signals forced modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and cultural archetypes are largely respected, with the male lead embarking on a quest to prove himself worthy. Family, mentorship, and classic values are treated positively without overt subversion or ridicule of traditional norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little to no evidence of ideological grandstanding, and alternative perspectives are not overtly mocked or villainized. The film sticks to light-hearted adventure tropes, so it’s about as non-woke as they come in the modern era.
