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

Phil of the Future is decidedly non-woke by today’s standards, narrative comes first, family values are intact, and there’s little to no ideological preaching. Early 2000s Disney at its harmless best.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Narrative integrity holds up well. The show focuses on family, teenage hijinks, and sci-fi comedy rather than identity-driven storytelling. Characters are cast traditionally for the time, and identity traits don't define their entire presence. Diversity is present but doesn't override plot or character development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics are central, with respectful depictions of parents and sibling relationships. There’s little subversion of masculinity, gender roles, or traditional backgrounds, if anything, it leans into wholesome values and moral lessons usual for early 2000s Disney fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren't villainized, conflicts are typical teenage or fish-out-of-water fun, not ideological battles. The show doesn’t overtly push contemporary political or social messaging and allows for humor, good-natured lessons, and personal growth.
