What We Think

Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017) toes the line between classic superhero storytelling and modern diversity trends. While it includes some identity-focused updates, its core lessons and values are mostly intact, making it a mild dose of wokeness, not a full-blown ideological lesson.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show introduces some diverse side characters and a female Spider-character. While it doesn't completely abandon Peter Parker's journey, it does, at times, seem to prioritize identity-driven new supporting roles and team-ups over classic character development. Still, Spider-Man’s arc mostly respects the core of the hero’s story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like responsibility, family, and personal growth remain prominent. There is some downplaying of Peter's working-class roots and family struggles, but overall the values aren’t heavily subverted or mocked. The show doesn't push hard against classic foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There’s a clear modern sensibility: diversity is always celebrated, and alternative, traditional perspectives are rarely explored. Anyone questioning the status quo is shown as misguided or a villain, but it isn’t as extreme as some more recent superhero adaptations.
