Typical slimy Netflix

While the story itself is not overtly "woke," it goes out of its way to point out that Epstein was an acquaintance of Trump, and completely ignores his connections to other politicians like Clinton, Bush, and Chuck Schumer. The story is gross, but while there's no evidence any of the above dudes participated in Epstein's rape parties, the documentary only mentions Trump.
You can tell where the producers / directors agendas lie, which puts all the rest of their message into question, no matter what you think about the perv.

Not woke, just boring.

No overzealous leftism. The only real woke elements are what is possibly the ugliest cast in history, and its somewhat unrealistic diversity, but even that isn't obtrusive or annoying.

Maybe they were going for realism? None of the actors are particularly talented (apparently much of the show was ad-lib), none of them have "it." There is not one attractive person in the entire show (that I managed to trudge through). Maybe realism = wokeism?
Other than that, it's a snooze that you may actually enjoy.

Not in this era

Some 20 years ago the theme might have been nice, similar to Fight Club's goal - to reset the debt of the country back to zero. But in this day and age, the thought of all our property being taken away and re-distributed equally is a far too terrifying and realistic a scenario. It ruins what may have otherwise been a fun plot.
One of our characters introduces himself in his first lines as "did you know I'm gay?" as if only to check an inclusivity box for telling the world which way one's genitals swing. It has NO bearing on the story or even the scene, but that's the way ALL inclusivity is presented in this story. It's shoehorned in there, unwanted, non-relevant, very in-your-face and besides the point.
There is a little too much feminism in the female characters, all of whom are perfect Mary Sues who are "better than the boys."
But the main character, while cocky and somewhat annoying, is creative enough. If you can suffer him you may be entertained. After getting past the woke, it's a matter of preference.

The Girls

The series has Watchmen-level socio-political commentary potential, but it's a parade of woke values. Any social positions of power are all re-cast as women, even if they were male characters in the source material. Antagonists are colored as caricatures of MAGA supporters or conservatives. They take aim at Christians, non-POC while being happily inclusive of lots of gay sex, gay scenes, and literal, actual penises. No tits. Feminism rules in all areas. Anyone white is "bad," with the exception of the lead Mary Sue, who is only redeemed when she shuns her Christian background (which is only depicted as bigoted and superficial).
The action scenes are fun and the characters usually interesting, but there's so much overt politics and hatred on anything non-communist that it's constantly shaking the viewer's suspension of disbelief.
Fun, okay, maybe. But WOKE AF.

Movie is all right. No wokeness in it. Just an okay movie.

Better than I Expected.

The movie was good in general but it contains some woke elements. It has diversity in it. And one of the main characters’ parents are lesbian which I find it unnecessary. The Illuminati group was okay. It was great to see Patrick Stewart back in the movie.

Though I warn you that this movie is very dark compared to other Marvel movies. The director of this movie is notorious for making horror movies.

It’s all right.

The movie was all right. I was not entirely impressed by it. Imagine all three Jurassic park and two Jurassic world movies crammed into one movie. The elements in this movie is nothing new. It’s great to see the original cast come back, but other than that, it was meh. The only woke stuff I could think about from this movie is diversity. But it’s very minor.

Feminism monster

Bo-peep is no longer the sweet and meek character as we remember. She now leads her own life free from brining children joy. She has traded her cute dress for a pair of pants and is more brave and stronger than her male counterparts. What's more is Woody is no longer the heroic leader of toys. He is timid, pushed around and annoying to other toys (mainly female ones) all female characters take leadership positions while male characters take a back seat in being helpful. Also the antagonist for the film is a gabby doll who lost her voice box and she is selfish and tries to steal Woodys but throughout the film he sacrifices his voice for hers to help her feel fulfilled. There are many more elements of creating weak boys/men.

Woke, but I can't get enough

This movie's entire premise is based on woke environmentalism. But for whatever reason, I can't get enough of it. This movie is on rotation for me at least once or twice a year.

Even woke movies can have a great story and chemistry between the actors. The environmental disasters are completely over the top and embellished, which is part of what makes it so great.

It gets a 4/5 overall from me, and 2/5 for wokeness.

Good

I really enjoyed the movie itself. There were two cringe parts as far as wokeness, a comment about rich white men was one of them. I would watch it again.

Must watch

The only elements of wokeness is the display by the people matt is interviewing. You may feel strong emotions watching some of these experts talk but it is such an important movie!!
