Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Legion of Super Heroes (2006) largely focuses on classic heroics and teamwork. Identity markers aren't used as a narrative crutch, characters exhibit distinct personalities and earn their arcs through action, not box-ticking. Forced representation is minimal and diversity never outweighs character or plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show generally upholds positive views on heroism, leadership, and camaraderie. Traditional roles aren't parodied or subverted, and masculine and feminine traits both get respectful depictions. There's no overt revisionism or undermining of foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Different perspectives among the Legionnaires are presented fairly. No ham-fisted ideological lectures or villainizing of dissent. Alternative viewpoints surface naturally, reflecting the show's comic book roots and an era before forced uniformity became popular.
