Not very woke

The only woke part is the finale: Nani doesn't have to take care of Lilo over her desire for career (as in "Women are not supposed to be mothers").
But the movie is nice

The old bait and switch. The 1st episode is incredibly well done with solid writing and lots of action. Then it gets worse with every following
episode. This is not an action spy show as advertised, it's a slow plodding drama. This is based on a single book, not a series of books and it should of been a tight fast moving action thriller, but no, they have to have a series so tons of boring pointless drama with bad writing. We have the usual DEI overrepresentation. While the first couple of episodes start well by the 4th episode all the men are getting pushed aside and dumbed down to focus on the much smarter female characters. The Zoe character is nonsense and shouldn't exist. First it's ridiculous that he's managed to stay hidden for 30 years than gets discovered and goes on the run only to stop and start a relationship with the first woman he meets and than goes out on a date in public, only to get stopped
and caught on bodycam at a DUI checkpoint. He then decides to drag her along with him on the run. Really? She is shown to be a complete mess of a person who can't even keep her finances straight and 2 episodes later is a brilliant blackmailer who wants revenge on all men because her husband left her. The writing gets worse with
every episode as well with long drawn out melodramatic speeches that serve no purpose other than to fill up runtime. There's also the problem that one minute he's hobbling around out of breath and groaning and the next this 73 yr old is physically taking out much younger highly trained agents in hand to hand combat. He kills everyone
that comes after him yet for no reason leaves the black assassin alive. I made it through episode 4 of season 1 and everything I've seen season 2 gets much worse with the ridiculous feminist woke nonsense.

None woke

As it is pretty old, woke didn't even exist (and it doesn't in the series)

None woke

I didn't find woke elements. Movie and songs are ok

Good show but woke

I like the show, but this is how it works (except for the main charachter):
- girl are badasses, boys are softies
- whites are often weaker than black
- of course gay people is normal

Not woke at all

No pushing on diversity, no "normal" gay stories.

Woke consists of a the gay neighbor who shows his wedding video with a gay kiss. There's also a unnecessary derogatory statement by a white female character no less about the male lead being a 35 year old white male who thinks he's going to be a rock star. The acting is decent and the writing and story are passable though pretty basic and you can see the ending coming very early on so there are really no surprises. The FX are overall good and if you like body horror you might like this more than me. A few too many jump scares in my opinion but there are some creepy and disturbing scenes. The female character could of been written better. She is pretty unlikable and treats her boyfriend like garbage, blames him for everything and openly flirts with the neighbor before finding out he's gay. Watchable but nothing great.

Well written, clever, and entertaining.

I didn't perceive any woke agenda outside of the typical situation of a teenager setting the older folks straight on critical issues is thinly veiled. Perhaps that should tic the woke-meter. It's not enough to detract from the enjoyability of the movie.

This one is a little hard to rate on the woke scale. The John wick movies by this time are so over the top unrealistic with him basically
being super human it's ridiculous. There is an argument to made that this is just an attempt to make a female version of John Wick so it
is by definition woke. I see this as a mix of bad writing and woke together. John Wick at the time of the first movie is ready to retire and
has been at this for a very long time. He has built a reputation through decades of experience and life lessons to get to be the machine that he
is. Here however she goes through a training montage gets sent on her very first mission ever and easily defeats 5 assailants at the same time, in
a dress and heals on ice. She gets beaten and kicked but is never injured or even bloody and just gets up like nothing happened and beats them all down. Then we jump 2 months later where she appears to have taken on and killed dozens of men in a basic warzone, yet she is again uninjured with no bruises or any visible blood and perfect made up hair and clothes without breaking a sweat. This trend continues throughout the movie, every fight her opponents are bloodied
and bruised but she always looks perfect never breaking a sweat and not a hair out of place. She physically takes on and defeats much larger men but the minute her opponent is a woman she has a much harder time beating them. She is an immediate super powered invincible Mary Sue who appears to be equal in skill and ability to John Wick an the end of his career. Then there is the argument that they picked 5'6" actress who is rail thin with no muscle definition. Some of this can be written off as bad writing as John Wick 4 has plenty of invincible stupid writing for that one as well but I think there is definitely some woke at work here. Then there is the white male Pine character with the black daughter. The acting is decent by most everyone, the story is nothing new just a generic revenge plot. The action scenes are the now typical for the franchise unrealistic over the top nonsense with a terminator
type character versus stupid canon fodder enemies that die easily by the dozens. They actually have an opportunity toward the end of the film to kill her but for some stupid reason decide to just capture her instead. They literally just the spent the entire movie trying to kill her than just don't when given the opportunity. Another example is the sword scene in the burning building when multiple enemies with guns refuse to simply shoot her and instead just run up to her to be killed like morons. The flamethrower guns with seemingly infinite 'ammo' is another notably bad writing moment. We are also told through the entire movie
by everyone how dangerous this tribe is and no one wants to mess with them. Then this newb just out of training easily slaughters her way through the entire town while they all act like bumbling untrained fools instead of a tribe of highly trained dangerous killers. I suppose it's a one time watch for fans of John Wick but it's the worst of the franchise by far.

This isn't woke, but it does have agenda.

This movie addresses the social angst of high-school students in their different cliques. There is a jock, a socialite, an emo, a nerd, and a stoner. They spend the day figuring out that they have more in common than they thought. The realization that they have been misunderstanding each other was enlightening. They also realized that they would go back to their normal, classified roles. This time, these five students would have a better understanding of differences. They didn't address any racial or gender issues. I really don't understand this movie having a Woke rating.

Not woke, but...

This is a very good, entertaining movie. Robin Williams proved himself to be more than just a comedian once again. There was no woke agenda other than middle-aged, white academics being appalled at the idea of girls being admitted to the boys prep school. That's a slight tic on the woke-meter but it rounds down to zero. I would give it a 0.25.
The problem I have with the movie is the idea that 17-year-olds are ready to choose their own path. Independent thinking is a good thing, but adult responsibility isn't a threshold that goes from not ready on Monday but completely ready on Tuesday. It's a slow process that requires parental guidance and authority. That authority was somewhat ridiculed and undermined by ad-absurd um portrayal, resulting in tragedy.

Objective reporting with an entertaining flair.

Right or left, this is a must-see. The agenda is ostensive. Matt set out to expose the fallacy of gender fluidity. He allowed the interviewees to make their points, uninterrupted. There were no deceptive edits.
The absurdity of gender-fluid ideology exposes itself with an open platform. Thanks, Matt.
