Well, this one’s tricky
I waited quite a while for someone to watch it first so I could know if it was woke or not. But since nobody said anything, I went ahead and watched the entire first season.
Straight to the point: Is it woke? Yes, it is. It checks all the diversity boxes, and there’s (NO SPOILERS) one character that fills the typical “poor victim” quota you usually see in Apple productions.
But is it entertaining?
Yeah, honestly. Even with the diversity elements and a character doing some occasional girl-bossing, it doesn’t ruin the story. I was actually surprised they didn’t lean harder into the usual woke topics they normally push in Apple shows.
So I started watching the second season.
By Apple’s woke standards, this one is pretty watchable.

Faithful to the original story
A solid continuation of the original saga, staying true to all the relationships and characters without forcing anything in, and keeping the same logic it always had; one in which there has always been a diverse group of characters from all over Aang’s world, as he recruited them and learned from them.
Excellent.

Completely designed to push the message
The main character is a girl who, right from the start, loses her parents and ends up in orphanages (which they don’t even bother explaining). By the time she’s just 13, she’s made so many mistakes that they transfer her like she’s some adult criminal, until she ends up in a detention center where they supposedly “need her.” And somehow she has this extrasensory sense to figure out that they only want her there so they can hit some political quota and make the place look good. Then, with a whole ghetto attitude, she goes off on the directors and basically anyone she runs into.
There isn’t a single male character until one finally shows up, “Raúl,” who used to be “Ramona.” lol! I mean, you can’t get more woke than that! And the only white character that shows up is a grumpy white guy who I’m pretty sure is the antagonist.
I lasted 22 minutes watching this trash. Total waste of time.

Fucking hilarious
I gotta say, this is a really fun movie if you wanna have a good time with completely ridiculous, over-the-top shit. The humor is dumb as hell but in the best predictable way, and the plot is all over the place on purpose and that’s exactly what makes it funny. It’s a script designed for you to just turn your brain off and laugh your ass off following these two dudes who work at a condom company, with all the cheesy, dirty jokes you’d expect from that kind of product.
Super fucking good!
Zero woke bullshit in it!
Enjoy the ride!

And another universe destroyed
Another series that started with a really original and super interesting narrative in the first two seasons, but it got completely wrecked once the DEI rules kicked in. By the last season, they’d turned the protagonists into the villains because, you know, straight cis men and women are apparently evil in the eyes of these militant artists.
Another one I’m not even gonna bother going into details about.
A universe that had so much potential to keep unfolding with a tight, engaging plot across tons of seasons… totally destroyed by socialist and communist propaganda.

A must watch, no excuses
It's an absolute must-see if you want a killer show that feels like Breaking Bad quality with all the stuff you'd expect from a story like this.
100% recommended!
Zero filler, it doesn't waste a second.
Enjoy!

This one was actually pretty fun
Funny from start to finish. It’s got that 80s movie aesthetic but set in the present day, using all the current tech stuff. This comedy just follows a couple of college students trying to ride out whatever they took.
On the woke side of things, it checks the diversity box. For example: one of the “bullies” looks like Bad Bunny, and honestly, in real life I’d probably be the one bullying him just for that. So it’s got that forced “role reversal” thing that’s annoying but doesn’t ruin the movie.
Overall, it’s a really good way to kill some time.

A Missed Opportunity
Another movie with a kinda interesting idea and a couple of actors who could’ve had some solid chemistry (I’m obviously talking about Liam Neeson and Joe Keery) completely ruined by a heavy overdose of in your face woke stuff. You can feel it the second the co-star shows up, they try really hard to make her look like the hero, but she can’t overshadow Joe Keery’s charisma, even though the movie clearly tries to push his character into the background.
I’m not gonna waste more time describing it in detail. It’s a low-budget popcorn flick that could’ve been a lot better if it wasn’t for the forced woke agenda. It’s a shame cause the premise is decent for killing time, but the execution not.

Woke to its fucking core
What a load of woke bullshit! I couldn’t even make it past the first 10 minutes before it was obvious that from the very first line "Roots run deep", the whole point of this movie is to brainwash whoever’s watching it. But the worst part is that it’s deliberately and maliciously aimed straight at kids, which makes it even more fucked up (if that’s even possible).
I’m not wasting any more energy describing it. This animated movie is literally everything wrong with woke culture shoved into stuff made for children, and the people who made it know exactly what they’re doing.
This is the kind of content that needs to either disappear completely or come with a BIG-ass warning label that says “This contains political propaganda” so people can tell it apart from other movies and shows.

This isn’t free of woke content.
It’s not a bad movie, but yeah, it definitely has woke elements.
Just because it’s a Guillermo del Toro film doesn’t mean it avoids that kind of stuff. Pretty much everything he makes is heavily rooted in social symbolism, and in this case the female character is clearly shaped by a kind of feminism that doesn’t really line up with the time period the movie is trying to portray. The messaging is there from the very start, and it’s distracting. At times it’s so on the nose it almost feels like a modern day "Karen".
That said, the movie still has strong craftsmanship, great cinematography and solid execution. But at the end of the day, it’s just another Frankenstein story, nothing more. Way too much hype for a filmmaker who tends to get overpraised in that space. And that's fine, he does his job very well.
But, it doesn’t break new ground or redefine anything, it’s just well put together, and that’s it.
P.S.: I do like his movies, but this one feels like a straight-up cash grab.
