What We Think

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series keeps its storytelling focused and straightforward, with very little evidence of modern 'woke' trends. The show is a throwback to simpler superhero narratives, just webs, wisecracks, and good old-fashioned responsibility.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series largely sticks to classic Spider-Man storytelling with character-driven plots and minimal focus on identity politics. Characters are developed with flaws and growth, and casting aligns with source material rather than ideological checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like friendship, responsibility, and even familial bonds are central. Masculinity and morality are not pathologized or undermined, and classic heroism is preserved without much revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little overt ideological push. While the show is modernized and adapts to early 2000s sensibilities, it avoids caricaturing alternative views and offers a neutral moral landscape typical of superhero fare.
