Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1966 Hulk show focused squarely on storytelling, with Bruce Banner’s character arc front and center. There’s no evidence that identity politics or modern representation tropes influenced casting or characterization. Talent and fit for the comic tone won out over any conscious ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This series didn’t take aim at family, faith, masculinity, or traditional cultural norms. Bruce Banner’s struggles reinforced classic hero themes, science, sacrifice, personal values, without subverting gender roles or rewriting cultural foundations to fit modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t preach, mock tradition, or villainize alternatives. There’s space for personal responsibility and moral struggle, with no hint of ideological monoculture as seen today. Debates are about inner conflict, not dogma.
