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 Protector stands as a refreshingly non-woke entry: it respects tradition, focuses on genuine character arcs, and avoids the heavy-handed ideological narrative that’s become Hollywood’s calling card. Definitely closer to classic storytelling than modern virtue-signaling fare.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Protector focuses primarily on traditional hero’s journey elements. Characters are developed based on their roles and personalities rather than being defined by identity politics. Forced representation and flawless, hyper-competent diverse characters aren’t a focus, storytelling actually takes precedence over ideology for once.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, legacy, tradition, and even mystical ties to religion play central roles in the narrative. Masculinity and traditional values are respected, not subverted or mocked; these aspects are given gravity in the story, far removed from the typical Hollywood treatment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, internal conflicts, and cultural diversity are portrayed through authentic lenses, not as one-note caricatures. There is no impression that dissenting voices are villainized or that all characters automatically share modern Western ideological stances.
