They can't get out of their own way long enough to realize the story is what counts.

In a way Kill Bill is a pretty woke movie, but nobody gives a shite because the story is awesome.

If your priority is to check the box of gay, black, women, Trans, or anything else, and you place it above the story, you will fail.

The people that roll their eyes and call you out are not white supremacist. They're movie fans that see your bullshite.

This is exactly correct. Another example would be Aliens. Letting your story develop organically without politics is what works.

Didn't realize "woke" was a white woman killing other whites, asians and blacks.

I don't know what's getting more absurd...

What is woke, or what's getting claimed is woke.

The flip of this is, of course, Arcane.

I don't think polyamory is covered in Arcane, but the rest are.

And it was a huge hit.

Because as the Drinker pointed out, those don't define the character (much like they don't define people in real life), they're aspects that flesh out the character.

I've never thought of Kill Bill as being woke. Opinions will vary of course but myself I don't think something is woke simply because it has a variety of people in it, it's when they get to wagging their fingers in your face about it or getting too preachy is when I get turned off.

I think this sentence by the OP is definitely true:

Things are getting called "woke" that were made years before the term even existed.

I ran to the comment section to flame you, but then I reread your post and I agree 100% Movie checks all the boxes of diversity, but isn't forced and ends up being a great movie.

Disney checks boxes and ends up with shite movies.

Why? Because it has a female protagonist? I don’t see how in any way Kill Bill is Woke.

Apparently making a movie that stars a person with a vagina, which is half the fricking population.
