Question 1

Is The Equalizer 2 woke?

Accepted Answer

The Equalizer 2 has a woke score of 30/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. The movie has McCall pushing a Ta-Nehisi Coates race book on the Black kid he mentors in the street-life subplot. The story keeps pushing justice for the exploited the whole way through with scenes helping a Black teen avoid gangs, a rape victim, a kidnapped girl, and a Holocaust survivor. It stays mostly vigilante revenge action but slips in those race literature nods.
