Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future largely focused on traditional character archetypes and merit-based storylines. Emphasis was on leadership, courage, and teamwork rather than identity politics. There was no discernible effort to force representation or highlight characters based on identity categories instead of their role.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show upheld traditional values like heroism, sacrifice, and leadership. Masculinity was portrayed positively without ridicule, and core cultural norms, such as the importance of family and moral clarity, remained intact throughout the series.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the series is a classic 'good vs. evil' narrative, it does not explicitly villainize traditional perspectives. Most characters display a range of viewpoints, and there is little evidence of ideological groupthink or the mockery of alternative values.
