What We Think

Superman & Lois bucks many current Hollywood trends, sticking with non-woke storytelling and a strong family ethic. While not completely immune to modern flourishes, it's grounded, respectful of tradition, and refreshingly pluralistic compared to its peers.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Superman & Lois generally maintains narrative integrity, focusing more on classic superhero arcs, family, and small-town drama than overt identity politics. While some may notice token nods to modern representation, character merit and narrative stakes remain central, rather than sacrificing storytelling for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show upholds traditional values: marriage, family, and heroic masculinity are all front and center. Superman is portrayed as a devoted husband and father, tackling responsibility, almost a rarity in TV these days. Any subversion of classical roles is minimal and hardly the focus.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While modern themes appear occasionally, the show features respectful debates and doesn't outright villainize traditional views. There's a refreshing lack of overt ideological groupthink, with characters expressing different perspectives and motivations.
