Question 1

Is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie woke?

Accepted Answer

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has a woke score of 18/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. This is a straight-up family space adventure sequel to the 2023 Mario Bros. movie. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and friends fly across galaxies to stop Bowser Jr. from freeing his dad and kidnapping Rosalina. The story sticks to classic Mario stuff like teamwork, family ties, and saving the day with zero political lectures or identity sermons. Voice casting mixes big names including Brie Larson as Rosalina and Donald Glover as Yoshi, but the characters are non-human game figures in a fantasy world, just like the first film. Some YouTubers griped about Larson pre-release, but audiences mostly call it clean fun with no agenda. Nintendo kept it faithful and light.
