What We Think

Star Blazers 2199 is remarkably non-woke for a modern remake. It updates some character roles without strong ideological pressure, holding onto traditional themes and narrative integrity. It’s a refreshing break from the modern Hollywood playbook.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The series largely respects character and storyline authenticity, retaining military hierarchy and skill-focused roles. Some characters originally male in the 1970s version were changed to female, but their inclusion fits the narrative and is not obviously forced or at the expense of story coherence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Themes of honor, sacrifice, and duty to family and nation remain central. While female roles are slightly modernized compared to the original, traditional values and heroism are kept intact. It does not undermine masculinity or cultural traditions significantly.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the cast is more gender-diverse than the original, the show doesn't enforce a single ideological perspective or mock alternative views. There is respect for a variety of worldviews and a sincere approach to conflict and camaraderie.
