Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Astro Boy (1980) puts story and character above identity concerns. The focus is on adventure, technological ethics, and human-robot interactions, not shoehorned representation. Characters earn their place by action and heart rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show portrays family, sacrifice, and the virtues of courage and loyalty, with traditional gender roles largely intact. Morality is explored in classic terms, and there's no indication of undermining religion, family, or masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Astro Boy presents a variety of perspectives: robots, humans, and governments are treated with nuance. There isn’t an obvious ideological uniformity, and dissenting voices are not villainized for tradition or conservatism.
