Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Devil May Cry (2007) sticks closely to its source material, focusing on narrative over identity politics. Characters' traits serve the story, not an ideology. Casting and characterization are merit-based, and identity markers don't overshadow character skills or arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't undermine traditional values, masculinity, or moral concepts. Dante, a masculine protagonist, is celebrated for his skill rather than mocked. Family, honor, and classic good-versus-evil themes remain front and center, with no attempts at revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Non-modern worldviews aren't mocked or villainized. There’s a lack of overt ideological messaging, and traditional perspectives are presented without caricature. The show feels refreshingly pluralistic compared to recent fare, ideology stays in the background.
