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

Marvel’s Inhumans doesn’t break ground for non-woke storytelling, but it’s safely less overtly woke than most recent Marvel offerings. While it nods to diversity, its attempts rarely feel preachy, making it middling on the “woke meter”, clumsy at times, but not aggressively ideological.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

Marvel's Inhumans leans on standard diverse casting but doesn't aggressively force identity themes at the expense of story or character motivation. However, some moments of forced representation creep in, occasionally making diversity feel more like a checklist than organic storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show largely avoids direct attacks on family, masculinity, or tradition. Family bonds and royal hierarchy remain central, and it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine traditional roles, though gender dynamics sometimes feel a bit modernized for effect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a mild monoculture effect, alternative views aren't deeply explored and traditional figures sometimes come across as unsympathetic, but it never reaches the outright caricature or sermonizing seen in more recent shows. Dissent isn’t exactly celebrated, but it isn’t vilified either.
