What We Think

Disney’s 1957 Zorro is a breath of non-woke fresh air. The show prioritizes skill, virtue, and swashbuckling charm over identity box-checking or ideology. It’s a reminder of how fun, earnest action can thrive without a lesson in every scene.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Zorro (1957) puts character and story first, not identity politics. Don Diego is a classic hero with skill and depth, not a walking checklist of demographics. Plotlines focus on good versus evil, not lectures on diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family values, heroism, faith, and classical masculinity are baked into every episode. Religion, honor, and courage are portrayed positively. There’s no attempt to undermine or satirize traditional foundations, it’s pure, old-school swashbuckling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked, but the narrative definitely centers around timeless virtues with little time for modern ideological agendas. There's respect for tradition, so any 'monoculture' is more about classic, non-woke heroism than silencing debate.
