What We Think

Ultraman (1966) is a relic of a less woke era, embracing traditional heroics and straightforward storytelling without modern ideological overlays. Save for its lack of philosophical pluralism (it’s a monster show, folks), this is as non-woke as it gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Ultraman (1966) centers on thrilling monster battles and heroic deeds, not social messaging. Characters are developed for their roles, namely brave scientists, military types, and Ultraman himself, rather than identity checkboxes. No signs of forced representation or narrative compromise for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show leans into traditional values: heroism, duty, and teamwork. Masculinity is depicted as virtuous, and there’s clear respect for family and authority. No attempts to deconstruct or undermine these foundations are apparent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Ultraman is mostly apolitical, focusing on the perennial battle of good versus evil. Dissenting views aren’t present, but there's no push for ideological uniformity beyond classic virtues. No villainization of traditional perspectives detected.
