What We Think

"Marble Hornets" is about as non-woke as it gets. The focus is on atmosphere, mystery, and old-school horror, without any of the finger-wagging or forced messaging so common today. If you want your scares without a side of identity politics, this is the show for you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Marble Hornets" is laser-focused on suspense and mystery, not modern identity politics. There’s no obvious casting for diversity’s sake and no main characters built around their gender or sexuality. The story and scares take priority over ticking representation boxes, making this a breath of fresh air in today’s context.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show stays entirely apolitical on matters of religion, family, or masculinity. It doesn’t take potshots at traditional values or use its runtime to comment on cultural or moral norms. If anything, it’s refreshingly neutral and sticks to its horror roots.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

You won’t find much ideological lecture here, characters simply try to survive the supernatural, without ideological grandstanding or scapegoating of alternative worldviews. All perspectives are grounded in the real and relatable reactions of the cast.
