Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Adventures of Sinbad focuses on classic adventure and heroism, not modern identity politics. Characters are written to fit archetypes appropriate to a fantasy adventure, and representation does not appear forced or out of place. Identity characteristics are not the narrative's focus, supporting story integrity over ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, such as heroism, bravery, and camaraderie, are foregrounded without mockery or modern ‘subversions.’ Masculinity, religion, and family-like bonds are treated with respect, and cultural traditions are depicted in a classic, fantastical manner. There’s little evidence of intentional revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show features classic good-vs-evil themes and leaves room for different worldviews in its storytelling. There is no overt villainization of traditional beliefs or ideologically uniform cast. Diversity of motives and philosophies occur naturally as part of the adventure formula.
