Question 1

Is Predator: Badlands woke?

Accepted Answer

Predator: Badlands has a woke score of 49/100, which means it is mixed, with noticeable woke elements. Predator: Badlands puts a young runt Predator named Dek front and center — cast out by his brutal dad and hyper-macho clan for being too small and weak. He teams up with a damaged female android (Elle Fanning) and a monster buddy on a death planet, learning found-family bonds, empathy, and protection instead of just endless killing. The story flips the classic Predator vibe toward emotional growth and breaking abusive cycles. It’s still packed with action and survival, no sermons, but the “redefine strength” subtext stands out for plenty of viewers. Light Disney-family tone in spots, nothing preachy.
