What We Think

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 is essentially a non-woke, classic cartoon romp. It reflects its era, focused on fun, not on pushing modern ideologies. A nostalgia trip free from 2020s-style lectures.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show sticks closely to the lighthearted spirit of the Super Mario franchise, focusing on slapstick adventure and fun rather than modern identity themes. Character traits are based on their roles and personalities, not identity factors. There's no forced representation or pandering to ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics (Mario and Luigi as brothers, Princess Peach in a classic damsel role) are intact. Masculinity isn't undermined, it's mostly a goofy superhero parody. There's little-to-no subversion or rewriting of classic values here, and cultural narratives remain playful and apolitical.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't mocked; villains are classic cartoon baddies, not stand-ins for real-world ideologies. There's no ideological lecturing, and the humor is accessible to all. If anything, it's refreshingly absent of modern groupthink or political messaging.
