Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Legend of Hanuman primarily emphasizes classic storytelling, drawing from Hindu epics. Characters are portrayed in line with traditional mythologies, with little sign of forced casting or identity-first writing. The narrative seems rooted in age-old tales rather than modern ideological priorities.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This show reveres Indian religious and cultural traditions, often highlighting themes of duty, faith, and moral struggle. Rather than undermining cultural foundations, it actively celebrates and preserves them, presenting religion, heroism, and masculinity in a positive, un-ironic light.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews or critiques of tradition are not the focus; instead, the series is steeped in traditional values. It doesn’t caricature traditional perspectives or villainize them, instead, it elevates them, offering minimal modern ideological subtext.
