What We Think

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is nearly as non-woke as you can get in modern Hollywood, keeping its focus firmly on thrills, family, and old-school heroics. Identity politics barely make a cameo.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks to adventure tropes and doesn't push identity politics or highlight character demographics over plot or skill. Casting choices fit standard Hollywood molds of the time, and characters are defined chiefly by their roles and personal histories, not as tokens for representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family and heroic values are celebrated, with masculinity and parental dynamics forming the backbone. There's little evidence of subversion of gender roles or diminishing of moral/religious values. The story respects the spirit of pulp adventure without revisionist undertones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn’t a heavy-handed dismissal of alternative worldviews or cartoonish villainization of tradition. The film is more focused on action-adventure than lecturing the audience. Moral debates are limited to good vs. evil, not modern ideological divides.
