Question 1

Is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse woke?

Accepted Answer

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has a woke score of 74/100, which means it is heavily driven by woke themes. The core story is Miles Morales fighting to define his own path as Spider-Man against the multiverse’s “canon events” rules, with heavy focus on his Afro-Latino family identity and Gwen’s personal struggles. A quick “Protect Trans Kids” sign appears in Gwen’s room and her arc has been widely read as a trans allegory. Diverse Spider-People from different races, genders, and cultures are spotlighted as a strength. These identity and representation beats are noticeable and recurring in the narrative but wrapped in a high-energy multiverse adventure rather than nonstop lectures.
