Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

As a 1985 production, 'Christopher Columbus' focuses primarily on historical figures and events, with little sign of identity-focused casting or storylines. Characters are developed around traditional heroism and exploration, not modern ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely upholds traditional views on religion, family, and masculinity. It presents Columbus as a driven, masculine figure rooted in faith and ambition, reflecting the prevailing attitudes of its era with almost no subversion of gender roles or moral structures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or dissenting perspectives on Columbus’ journey are minimally explored, but in line with classic adventure storytelling rather than any ideological conformity by today’s standards. No heavy-handed mockery or suppression of traditional views appears present.
