Question 1

Is The King of Staten Island woke?

Accepted Answer

The King of Staten Island has a woke score of 0/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. Scott Carlin is a 24-year-old Staten Island slacker stuck in arrested development after losing his firefighter father as a child. He lives at home, smokes weed, dreams of opening a tattoo shop, and clashes with his mother’s new firefighter boyfriend until family pressure forces him to confront his grief and grow up. The narrative is a straightforward personal drama about mental health, family reconciliation, and taking responsibility. No social-justice, identity, or activist elements are present or visible in the story.

Question 2

Is there DEI in The King of Staten Island?

Accepted Answer

The current page does not have a detailed factor breakout yet. Scott has been a case of arrested development ever since his firefighter father died when he was seven. He's now reached his mid-20s having achieved little, chasing a dream of becoming a tattoo artist that seems far out of reach. As his ambitious younger sister heads off to college, Scott is still living with his exhausted ER nurse mother and spends his days smoking weed, hanging with the guys — Oscar, Igor and Richie — and secretly hooking up with his childhood friend Kelsey. But when his mother starts dating a loudmouth firefighter named Ray, it sets off a chain of events that will force Scott to grapple with his grief and take his first tentative steps toward moving forward in life.
