Question 1

Is Strange World woke?

Accepted Answer

Strange World has a woke score of 86/100, which means it is heavily driven by woke themes. The story constantly pushes an environmental sermon: the society's miracle energy plant Pando turns out to be a parasite destroying the living planet they stand on, so the heroes must eradicate it and switch to wind turbines for sustainability. Teen grandson Ethan is openly gay with a visible crush on boy Diazo, nervous flirting, family support from macho grandpa included, and a confirmed boyfriend relationship by the end. The three generations of Clade men hammer generational trauma and toxic explorer masculinity the whole way through, with the brash absent-father archetype shown as flawed and the empathetic teen as the moral center. Queer representation is normalized and visible throughout the family adventure.

Question 2

Is there DEI in Strange World?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Representation / casting choices, Anti-woke backlash / 'too woke' complaints, Institutional / cultural critique. A journey deep into an uncharted and treacherous land, where fantastical creatures await the legendary Clades—a family of explorers whose differences threaten to topple their latest, and by far most crucial, mission.
