In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Centurions is about as non-woke as they come, a straightforward 80s action cartoon with no ideological reboots, no forced representation, and an unapologetically traditional vibe. If you want pure, classic adventure without modern messaging shoehorned in, this is it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Centurions focuses on action and sci-fi adventure rather than ideological messaging. Characters are chosen for their abilities, not identity factors, and the story keeps a traditional hero-villain dynamic. Any diversity present is incidental and not a driving force, which allows the narrative to prioritize plot and character skills.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show reflects 1980s values, with clear masculine leads, respect for authority, and no effort to subvert traditional gender roles. Family, command structure, and heroism are championed rather than deconstructed. No sign of rewriting history or undermining cultural traditions, it's classic cartoon entertainment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Although the good-versus-evil format shows little internal ideological debate, there’s no evidence of modern ideological monoculture. Alternative views aren't mocked, it's simply straightforward, non-political storytelling where morality is clear-cut and alternative worldviews aren’t vilified.
