What We Think

The Pirates of Dark Water is a refreshingly non-woke treasure from the early ‘90s: classic adventure, competent heroes, and imaginative storytelling, blissfully unburdened by modern identity-driven agendas.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on adventure and character development, not identity politics. Casting and character arcs emphasize merit, courage, and teamwork. It avoids the trappings of modern 'forced representation.'

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Pirates of Dark Water' doesn’t preach against family, masculinity, or tradition. The hero’s journey and crew camaraderie echo classic themes. There is no clear agenda to undermine Western values or long-standing traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series highlights internal character conflicts, not ideological conformity. Alternative viewpoints aren't mocked or villainized by default, and there's little overt commentary on contemporary issues.
