Female Character into Male Avatar, but Nothing Too Drastic
The only thing I found woke about this movie is the part where one of the female characters gets turned into a male avatar when she's transported into Jumanji. However, she's forced into the game against her own will, and she thought she had picked a female avatar before she's inside the game avatar she chose. Also, when she and the other players beat the game, one of the players smashes the console with a bowling ball, the players leaving it behind and pretty much relieved they don't have to go through it again.
Besides that, no wokeness is to be found, and that's one of the reasons why it manages to be an enjoyable movie to watch.

So, So Bad
A lot of DEI casting. White people racist, patriarchy, female victimhood, bad ass little girls standing up to boys twice their size and about 5 years older, and that's all in the first episode. One of the characters is literally a female John Conner from T2 ripoff. From the mannerisms, clothes, haircut, attitude. It's ridiculous. The acting is bad by everyone. Absolutely no 12 year old kid in 1988 acted or talked like these kids do. At no time does this ever feel like its taking place in the 80's. This is just more woke badly written and directed trash from talentless woke people.

Great Korean Post Apocalypse Movie
Nothing woke. Post apocalypse Sci-Fi Action Korean movie. Good acting and fx. If your looking for straight up bloody, gory action with no political or woke bs this is for you. Nothing groundbreaking or original, including the story and be ready for over the top action. But it is not woke and just pure entertainment.

Great action movie, vagueness of politics makes it timeless
The most woke element of this movie is that journalists are portrayed as heroes. Otherwise, the movie is intentionally vague on its politics so that you can see your own side as the good guys no matter where you stand.
In the film, the federal government is headed by Ron Swanson whose politics are not discussed. We "know" he's bad because he "ordered air strikes on American citizens", has a third term, and abolished the FBI. The federal government is opposed by the Western Forces of California & Texas. Since, in real life, these states are opposites, this is an example of how the director intentionally blurs elements of our actual political issues so that we can't see thru the lens of our personal politics.
When we see conflict between the Western Forces and the feds, we can't tell whether the film considers the Western Forces to be good guys, it's just that the protagonists are following them around. There's also no racial element. When we get to the end of the film, we see black soldiers of the Western Forces kill black feds.
In the middle of the film, a bad guy, who is white (Jesse Plemons) kills a journalist who is from Hong Kong. However, this isn't based on race. Plemons kills the journalist only when Plemons learns that he is not an American citizen: it is nationalistic. We also never learn if Plemons' character was a fed, part of the Western Forces, some local militia, or just some random murderer.
There are some slow and boring scenes, but the movie on the whole is very entertaining, politically vague, and so violent.

Kong noise is not woke.
I'm not terribly into these Kong kind of films. It seems that 50% of the movie consists of Kong growling and snarling and stuff. Not much dialog. The movie was fun, though. I nice vacation from anything politically correct, DEI and even most technology.

Disgusting Surprise Under the Hood
Once my wife starts a series, she's obligated to finish it and myself, in turn, is abjected into these disgusting, tired plots. It seems this dude hooks up with a tranny, likely not knowing this thing is a tranny. In the end, he's like, "whatever, I dig it". I think I'm too old. Is this how modern men operate? "How cool! You got the same junk under the hood as me!" I know Woke 'r Not isn't the best place to ask, but seriously is this how it works these days? 'cause thinking of jumping in the sack with some dude is kind of not, uh, really my thing (being a dude myself). Can I say that out loud?

It’s fine, but slightly woke.
It’s the most middle-of-the-road film ever.
The plot is ok
The CGI is ok
The characters are ok
etc.
The wokeness in here is not as bad as other MCU films as the women don’t go shouting “HAHA IM SO STRONG! IM GLAD TO BE A WOMAN! #GIRLBOSS” and they shut up and don’t say woke crap, but the fact all 3 of the main cast are girls for no good in-universe reason feels kind of woke. But it’s not the worst thing in the world and is somewhat suitable for your kids I guess, 5/10.

Bad film, slightly woke.
The film just sucks narratively and the ending is one of the worst in any more.
Although I guess it isn’t woke. It has a male pregnancy subplot in it, but it is a thing with alien lore and ultimately while it is super cringe and unnecessary, it’s not necessarily woke as it won’t make your kids think males can get pregnant through normal relationships.

Woke-free
The main villain is a female but she isn’t woke and gets defeated by an epic male hero with a sword in the middle of the series too!
the main guy hero is pretty cool, the girl named ‘Claire’ could be considered slightly woke but she’s pretty much okay. Overall it is safe for your kids 👍

No LGBT+, Yet Still Promotes Feminism
Disregarding the above comment, no, this movie does not have a lesbian kiss, and it's not about an actress who discovers attractiveness to a female character in the movie until they kiss each other. I think the above comment may be referring to another movie because nothing like that happens here, though an African-American actor does play a lead character in this film.
No, the reason I'm declaring this movie as woke has to do with some other reasons. First, let's talk about Rey and her Mary Sue abilities. Even as far back as this movie alone, she:
1) Single-handedly beats up a group of men attacking her and BB-8 with nothing but her staff, not even needing Finn's help
2) Pilots the Millennium Falcon through a wrecked star destroyer and steers at sharp turns that I don't even remember Han Solo pulling off
3) Taps into Kylo's fears and using them against him and eventually pulling the lightsaber towards her in the climax, despite being untrained on how to use the Force
4) Doing a mind trick on a Stormtrooper despite not properly knowing how to do so
5) Beats Kylo in his own fight by giving him a scar on his face while she's using a lightsaber on her first try
And that's not even going at how they downgrade the male characters, starting with Finn and Kylo.
Finn is the one who's being led by Rey into the Millennium Falcon during the First Order's second attack on Jakku, and while Kylo was stated to be one of Luke's students and was trained by Snoke, he isn't able to resist Rey seeing into his fears and isn't able to pull his grandfather's lightsaber toward him. It would be far more sensible for Kylo to be beaten by Finn, a trained Stormtrooper with battle experience, than Rey, a scavenger who doesn't even know how to use the Force and isn't supposed to be given all her special abilities on a silver platter.
But the most infamous example of the male characters being downgraded in this movie is the character assassination of Han Solo.
Yes, Han was a smuggler by the time Luke, Obi-Wan, and Leia met him in A New Hope, but over time, he grew to become a much better person. Han intervened alongside Chewbacca at the last minute to stop the TIE Fighters that were attacking Luke, which was part of the reason why Luke was able to destroy the Death Star. In The Empire Strikes Back, Han was the one who went into the freezing blizzard to save Luke and bring him back, and when the blizzard was over, Han didn't abandon Luke to die. He stayed right there with him and called for help, even alerting a member of the Rebellion of Luke's presence. Throughout both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Han had the opportunity to escape and go back to smuggling, but he didn't. Instead, he continued fighting with the Rebellion against the Empire and even helped destroy the shield generator that was protecting the second Death Star.
The Force Awakens completely throws away all that character development Han had in the original trilogy in favor of making him a smuggler again, and the reason for this is that Han and Leia's son, Ben Solo, fell to the dark side of the Force, and therefore, Han went back to the thing he was the best at, which was smuggling. Han is even worse than he was when he was introduced as a smuggler back in A New Hope because now, he's cheated on deals with criminals such as the Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub by not giving them the money he promised them and gained a nasty reputation for his backstabbings.
There is no way that the same Han Solo who went through his own character growth in the original trilogy, from smuggler to Rebellion general, is the same Han Solo as the one in the sequel trilogy. Han would never do this. He would not return to smuggling. He would not cheat on deals with other criminals. He would've been with the Resistance and continued to fight for what was right regardless of how hard it would've been for him. He would've gone through thick and thin to help restore freedom to the galaxy from the First Order and he would've tried to find a way to bring back his and Leia's son even before Rey and Finn showed up in the story.
I heavily suspect that the reason why Lucasfilm decided to write Han this way for The Force Awakens is to make Rey look superior to him because she's supposed to be perfect and flawless. Kathleen Kennedy seems to believe that women should be viewed as better than men, which would also explain why Luke was character-assassinated in The Last Jedi and Anakin's character arc in the first six films was destroyed in The Rise of Skywalker because of Palpatine returning and Rey being the one to kill Palpatine.
The single best thing about The Force Awakens is Finn's character arc from being a Stormtrooper to a man who's willing to lay down his life to save someone else, but not even that is executed as well as it could have been because even though he and the other First Order Stormtroopers were kidnapped by the First Order from their homes and turned into their slave-soldiers, he does nothing to help them and even kills one of them himself.

Warning: Subtle Woke Elements
The main villain of the show speaks with both a masculine and feminine voice at the same time, and she also has both feminine hair and a tattoo on her chin resembling a beard. This is because she was meant to be non-binary by the creators of Tales of Arcadia, but I'm only calling her by female pronouns because I don't respect persons, and if you remove the tattoos, you get just her feminine hair. She's not referred to by any pronouns here, meaning viewers could make their conclusions on what pronouns she's referred to.
There's also a scene where a male lead character looks in awe at a knight with his helmet off for the first time, thinking about how he looks and the way he talks, but it's ambiguous whether he has a crush on him or just sees him as a role model for the type of person he wants to become.
Aside from that, there's not much else wokeness to be seen in this limited series, but even with that aside, this show is not as well-written as it could've been. The pacing was too rushed, like the creators wanted to finish up the franchise as soon as possible, and the worldbuilding is slightly off at some points.

Extremely Woke Due to Pregnancy Subplot (and Other Things)
There are three main reasons why this movie is extremely woke: the subplot about a male character getting pregnant, the pronouns the main villain is referred to, and the most feminine supernatural being who took part in the creation of the universe, as the overarching influence who guides the hero to stop the villains, one of which is her explicitly masculine counterpart.
It's genuinely sickening to see that one of the main characters, Steve, ends up getting pregnant for most of the movie after having his seventh kiss with his extraterrestrial girlfriend, Aja.
When we first see Steve in the movie, he's shown looking like the average teenage male. However, when Steve has his seventh kiss with Aja approximately one-fifth into the movie, his stomach gets slightly bloated with a blue light inside, indicating that it's his and Aja's child. Steve asks, "I'm gonna be a father?" but immediately shifts it to "I'm gonna be a mother?" which can easily be interpreted as the filmmakers sending gender confusion to the audience.
And when the Arcane Order unleashes the titular Titans onto the Earth, we see that Steve is sitting on a chair while he's pregnant. His hair becomes frizzled. His stomach is bloated. He's constantly dipping pickles into ice cream before eating them which is something a lot of pregnant women may do. Later on, he tells his unborn child, "Mommy's a little upset" and it's unclear if he's referring to himself or his girlfriend. In the climax, Steve's friend Eli spouts out "My virgin eyes!" right as Steve is about to give birth.
Worse yet, Steve has to sit out all the following battles while Aja is the one to fight all the battles for him and is even one of the heroes who confronts the movie's main villain directly. It is explicitly clear that Steve, the boy, is portrayed as the feminine counterpart of the relationship in the movie tending to his babies while Aja, the girl, is portrayed as the masculine counterpart of the relationship who's fighting all the battles in her boyfriend's place.
And that's not all. The movie's villain, Bellroc, the leader of the Arcane Order, is referred to with both masculine and feminine pronouns, being called a "he" once by Toby and a "her" once by Jim, and Bellroc herself has feminine hair and a facial tattoo resembling a beard. (Of course, I'm just calling Bellroc by female terms because, if you remove the facial tattoos, you have just her feminine-looking hair, and I am not a respecter of persons.) It's made even worse because Bellroc speaks with both a masculine and feminine voice at the same time, and the creators of the franchise confirmed they wanted her to be androgynous.
The most explicitly masculine member of the Arcane Order, Skrael, is portrayed as a sadist who wants to remake the world like Bellroc does, while Nari, who is intended to be the most explicitly feminine member of the Arcane Order, is portrayed as the only good member of the Arcane Order and it's her influence which guides Jim to stop the Arcane Order. Nari tries to stop Bellroc and Skrael from fulfilling their evil plans, and while Skrael deals a fatal blow to her, Nari is still the one who ultimately kills Skrael. But what truly makes this a contributing factor to the movie's wokeness is that Nari is depicted as the highest authority of good because she's one of the three who created the universe alongside Bellroc and Skrael, who are the villains.
Both the pregnancy subplot and the Arcane Order's role in the movie serve to degrade the male to the role where he's subservient to the female. Another piece of woke garbage to add to the pile of woke garbage movies, and it's even worse considering that this is supposed to be a family-friendly film.
