Question 1

Is Terminator: Dark Fate woke?

Accepted Answer

Terminator: Dark Fate has a woke score of 89/100, which means it is heavily driven by woke themes. The movie kills off John Connor in the opening to install a young Latina factory worker named Dani Ramos as the new future leader of the resistance. Sarah Connor teams up with Grace, an augmented female super soldier, to protect her from the Rev-9 Terminator. The story keeps pushing girl power the whole way through with three female leads carrying the action. It includes a direct line where Dani tells Sarah and Grace she wishes they weren't so white plus dialogue stressing Dani is the leader herself not the mother of some man who saves the future.
