What We Think

A relic from an era before widespread 'woke' influence, 'War in the Pocket' delivers character-driven storytelling without modern ideological intrusion. Its sincerity and nuance stand in stark contrast to much of today's media.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story in 'War in the Pocket' centers on the tragic realities of war through the eyes of a child, without inserting identity politics or sacrificing character depth for ideology. The diverse cast serves the narrative, not an ideological checkbox.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, friendship, personal responsibility, and the tragedy of lost innocence are all portrayed with nuance. There's no undercutting of traditional values, masculinity, or cultural heritage. The show is focused on universal human themes rather than modern ideological messages.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While anti-war themes are prominent, alternative perspectives (Zeon vs Earth Federation) are presented with moral ambiguity. There is no caricaturing of any group and no preachy modern ideology, just the horrors and costs of conflict.
