What We Think

"The Wheel of Time" 2021 pushes modern diversity and ideological trends hard, reimagining characters and themes to fit current woke sensibilities. Fans of the original may find the adaptation’s priorities skew far from its roots.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show appears to prioritize identity over established personality and lore, notably changing character backgrounds and motivations to foreground modern diversity. Several casting and character decisions seem designed for current representation targets, often at the expense of the original story’s nuance and depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like masculinity, family, and morality often take a backseat. The series subverts gender dynamics from the source material, elevating female and non-traditional characters while sidelining or weakening more classically masculine roles, and reinterprets cultural structures towards modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting perspectives are rarely shown. Traditionalist or alternative worldviews are largely omitted or caricatured, and virtually all main characters mirror contemporary values. Debate and internal conflict about identity themes is minimal, leading to a homogenous ideological tone.
