What We Think

"War of the Worlds" (2019) injects its share of modern ideological tweaks into a time-honored sci-fi premise, with diversity and new moral assumptions often taking center stage. Not the wokest out there, but unmistakably leaning in that direction.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The 2019 "War of the Worlds" series reimagines the classic story with a diverse cast and often foregrounds identity issues. While not egregiously forced, some character arcs feel more ideologically-driven than rooted in organic development, potentially distracting from traditional storytelling strengths.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There’s a noticeable undercurrent of cynicism toward traditional family structures and faith, as well as certain gender role inversions. Classic values aren't overtly attacked but instead quietly pushed aside in favor of more 'progressive' dynamics.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Virtually all characters and plotlines align with modern Western ideological values, particularly regarding identity and social issues. Traditional viewpoints are seldom given depth and may come across as outdated or even villainous in tone and portrayal.
