Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' mainly focuses on adventure and fantasy, not on checking identity boxes. Characters are cast for believability in their magical roles, not because of race or gender. The movie centers on the mentor-apprentice dynamic, and any diversity present feels incidental rather than forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like mentorship, hero’s journey, and self-discovery take center stage. Masculinity, family, and morality are treated with respect, with no overt attempts to undermine or lecture about historic norms. This is classic popcorn entertainment without revisionist undertones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real ideological preaching or caricatured villainization of traditional views. Both hero and villain are played straight in a fantasy context. If there's an agenda here, it's about having fun with magic battles and Tesla coils, not pushing a worldview.
