Question 1

Is War Machine woke?

Accepted Answer

War Machine has a woke score of 28/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. War Machine is pure Ranger boot-camp grit that flips into bloody Predator-style chaos against a giant alien killing machine. Ritchson’s stoic 81 leads the pack through survival, PTSD payback, and zero-quit military muscle—no lectures, no identity sermons, just explosions and brotherhood. Diverse squad (including women like Heather Burridge’s 122 making the final cut) sparked a handful of “DEI token” gripes online, but it’s background noise, not the plot. Creators kept it old-school action with zero activist fingerprints. Basically a fun, brain-off Netflix romp that dodges the usual Hollywood traps.

Question 2

Is there DEI in War Machine?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Representation / casting choices, Anti-woke backlash / 'too woke' complaints, Identity-driven story themes. On one last grueling mission during Army Ranger training, a combat engineer must lead his unit in a fight against a giant otherworldly killing machine.
