What We Think

"The Awesomes" keeps its focus more on goofy superhero antics than on ideological messaging. While there are a few nods to diversity and modern social issues, the show’s satire doesn’t let 'woke' themes overwhelm the fun. A mostly non-woke entry from the early 2010s.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "The Awesomes" includes some diverse characters, the show largely relies on classic superhero comedy and satire. The majority of character traits are determined by personality and trope, not identity politics. While some modern themes appear, the narrative rarely feels hijacked by ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series pokes fun at traditional hero archetypes but doesn't aggressively attack traditional values like family, faith, or masculinity. Satire is aimed more at superhero genre clichés than any underlying cultural or moral foundation, so it largely avoids subverting core traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s the occasional jab at traditional stereotypes, but dissenting or alternative worldviews are not completely villainized or written out. The show’s humor allows for a bit more ideological variety than we often see in more recent 'woke' works.
