Our VerdictNot Woke

Pupa2014

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

“Pupa” is the farthest thing from woke, it’s just gruesome horror, uninterested in pushing any social or political agenda. The only thing this show has an agenda for is making viewers queasy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Pupa focuses on a dark, horror-driven narrative centered around siblings. There’s little evidence of forced representation or overwrought emphasis on identity politics. The story prioritizes shock and tragedy over any preachy messaging, for better or worse.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family bonds (albeit twisted in a grotesque way) still take center stage, and there’s no real attempt to undermine masculinity, religion, or historical themes for modern agendas. If anything, it’s too nihilistic to be ‘woke’.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t take a stance on contemporary ideological issues. It’s all disturbing horror with little social commentary, offering no ideological monoculture or vilification of dissenting views. Frankly, it avoids these topics entirely.
