What We Think

Assassin's Creed: Lineage is about as non-woke as you can get by modern standards. It’s more interested in telling a period-accurate, engaging story than checking identity boxes or preaching ideological messages. A rare artifact from before Hollywood went into full-blown activism mode.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Assassin's Creed: Lineage stays true to its historical fiction roots, emphasizing plot and character motivation over modern identity themes. Casting choices reflect the Italian Renaissance setting, and characters are fleshed out beyond surface-level identities. There's little evidence of forced representation or contemporary ideological priorities overriding good storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely respects historical context, depicting traditional family structures, religion, and masculinity without subversion. There's no noticeable attempt to undermine or reinterpret cultural foundations for modern sensibilities, making it feel refreshingly non-woke in today’s climate.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are presented based on the time period, and no obvious caricaturing or villainizing of traditional values occurs. The focus is on intrigue and personal loyalty rather than promoting a modern ideological stance. No strong ideological monoculture detectable here.
