Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Willy’s Wonderland keeps narrative front and center, focusing on action and horror rather than social issues. Casting choices appear to prioritize fitting the genre over pushing identity politics. There’s little evidence of forced representation or characters inserted primarily for diversity points.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie doesn’t target traditional values; instead, it leans into classic horror tropes and makes no sweeping statements about religion, family, or masculinity. There’s no agenda-driven undermining of cultural foundations; it plays things straight, if a little tongue-in-cheek.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t push a particular worldview nor does it villainize traditional perspectives. If anything, the absence of overt ideology is refreshing. Characters aren’t mouthpieces for modern political talking points.
