Review
The Thundermans Return has zero woke content or emphasis. The story sticks strictly to family teamwork, superhero mishaps, sibling rivalry between Phoebe and Max, and fighting cartoon villains with no identity politics, activist lectures, girlboss sermons, or diversity pushes. Casting is just the original Thunderman family from the 2013-2018 Nickelodeon series with no swaps, signaling, or mismatches to the story world. No political dialogue or modern cultural critique appears anywhere.
Not relevant
Anti-woke backlash and complaints
Complete absence of backlash claiming it pushes identity politics.
Creator track record context
No relevant prior work is cited.
