What We Think

For a fantasy show made in the early 2000s, ‘Tales from the Neverending Story’ is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It keeps the focus on adventure, classic themes, and timeless morality. Minimal modern ideological baggage here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show mostly follows a classic fantasy narrative without overtly shoehorning identity politics or prioritizing diversity over the storyline. Characters are rooted in archetypes, and identity aspects are not a distraction from plot or development. Some updates for a modern audience are present, but nothing aggressive.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, heroism, and morality are mostly intact. There’s mild modern sensibility, but it doesn’t mock or undermine masculinity, family, or cultural traditions in any notable way. Any subversions feel cosmetic rather than ideological.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews, particularly around good and evil, are sincerely represented. The show avoids mocking traditional perspectives and doesn’t villainize classic archetypes. Moral and spiritual pluralism are present and generally respected, fitting the timeless fantasy genre.
