Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
The villain delivers clear ideological rants about overpopulation as humanity's doom and justifies releasing a virus to cull the population. Heroes stop the plot without any endorsement or sermons. No race swaps, gender signaling, girl power arcs, or identity themes appear. No queer elements or activist institutional attacks on patriarchy or capitalism.

Identity-driven story themes
No race, gender, or queer identity plots or messaging whatsoever.

Production
Anti-woke backlash and complaints
Zero reported backlash claiming forced identity politics or woke agendas.
