The Promised Neverland2019

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 Promised Neverland is refreshingly non-woke. It prioritizes suspense, intellect, and character growth without bowing to identity trends or modern ideological messaging. Expect a plot-driven thriller, not a sermon.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The focus is almost entirely on the suspenseful, well-constructed plot and character abilities, not on identity politics. No shoehorned-in forced representation or flawless diverse heroes, characters are defined by their actions and wits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics and sacrifice are central, with strong displays of loyalty, morality, and resilience. There's no clear agenda to undermine religion, masculinity, or family; the story's intensity stems from its unsettling premise, not from targeting cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is a variety of viewpoints among characters, even with children as main leads. No characters are reduced to ideological mouthpieces, and there's little evidence of modern moral messaging or caricatured villains based on 'traditional' viewpoints.
