Question 1

Is King Arthur: Legend of the Sword woke?

Accepted Answer

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword has a woke score of 18/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Guy Ritchie's 2017 fantasy action film follows street-raised Arthur discovering his royal birthright, pulling Excalibur from the stone, and leading allies against his power-hungry uncle Vortigern in a magical version of medieval Britain. The core story emphasizes destiny, loyalty, camaraderie, and personal ascent through combat and self-reliance. Minor representational notes appear via a diverse supporting crew and a female sorceress in a key magical ally role, yet these function as background adventure elements without activist dialogue, identity messaging, or narrative centrality.
