What We Think

The Munsters (2022) is about as non-woke as it gets these days: playful, campy, and more concerned with monster hijinks than with fitting any modern ideological agenda. Even the gags respect the original’s irreverence without forcing political themes down the viewer’s throat.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Munsters (2022) largely sticks to the playful, campy tone of the original series and does not push overt identity-based casting or messaging. Character quirks are rooted in classic monster tropes rather than modern ideological themes. There’s little to distract from the story for the sake of “representation.”

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s humor riffs on family and marriage but doesn’t undermine traditional morality, masculinity, or the idea of family itself. Instead, it embraces the unconventional family dynamic in a tongue-in-cheek homage to the original. There’s minimal subversion of cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film avoids heavy-handed ideological messaging. There’s no obvious mockery of alternative worldviews or forced homogenization of character beliefs. Any satire is in good fun and directed at monster tropes, not the cultural mainstream.
