In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Iwájú showcases impressive visuals and world-building, but leans heavily into modern ideological themes at the expense of narrative depth and cultural complexity. It’s a textbook example of the current Hollywood approach, high production value, but very much operating in the ‘woke’ lane.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Iwájú puts identity at the forefront, with themes of social inequality and strong focus on race and gender. Some viewers may interpret the diverse cast as a box-checking exercise rather than driven by story needs, especially for a sci-fi adventure. Character arcs sometimes feel streamlined for messaging over depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics and cultural practices are mostly reimagined through a modern, progressive lens. Masculinity and religion are largely sidelined or reinterpreted. Family structures, while present, are blended with non-traditional ideals and values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show's worldview aligns heavily with current progressive orthodoxies. Traditional perspectives are referenced but not engaged with seriously, and dissenting viewpoints are either absent, portrayed negatively, or resolved to fit the main ideology.
