What We Think

Victor Frankenstein avoids the typical trappings of modern wokeness. Instead, it stays focused on gothic storytelling and classical themes, rarely letting contemporary ideology interfere. It’s refreshingly non-woke by Hollywood standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Victor Frankenstein mostly stays true to its gothic sci-fi roots, focusing on character relationships and moral themes rather than modern identity politics. Casting decisions and character arcs seem motivated by story and genre, not box-ticking for diversity quotas. There’s little evidence of narrative being sidetracked for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores themes like morality, science versus faith, and the dangers of hubris, which are classic to the Frankenstein mythos. There’s no substantial effort to tear down traditional values or rewrite history to fit a modern agenda. Masculinity and classic moral dilemmas are presented without heavy-handed revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The storyline doesn’t vilify traditional perspectives nor enforce a single ideological worldview. Different viewpoints are given space through character debates, especially between Victor and others wrestling with ethics and science, so there’s pluralism, and no obvious caricaturing of dissent.
