What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke, old-school Indian superhero show holding true to traditional values and cultural roots. No forced diversity or ideological lectures, just myth, morality, and melodrama.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on a traditional superhero narrative with emphasis on themes like courage, sacrifice, and spirituality, rather than identity politics. Characters are selected based on their roles in an Indian mythological context, not simply to fill representation quotas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Hero - Bhakti Hi Shakti Hai' leans into Indian culture, mythology, and spiritual themes. Family, religion, and tradition are treated with respect, forming the bedrock of the storyline rather than being ridiculed or subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of mocking or villainizing traditional values, if anything, the show uplifts them. Alternative viewpoints, particularly non-traditional ones, are not a major focus, but that’s standard for this genre and time period.
