Crazy trolls everywhere have been slamming “woke” West Side Story and claiming that its wokeness somehow caused it to fail at the box office.
Spider-Man with its multicultural cast and interracial primary relationship is woke too. And it’s poised to become one of the hugest hits everz

Zendaya also put in one of the stronger performances of the cast. And I remember how apeshit the MAGAts and wannabe Proud Boys went when her casting was announced.

They can deal with Spiderman, because at the end of the day, it's not 1 but 3 straight white men that save the day.

R3, are you sure they’re straight?

OP what's the meaning of woke? The movie is not preachy and has no political undertones. Are you saying that casting actors who aren't white is what woke means?

R5, according to cons “woke” seems to mean any movie with brown people in it. Nowhere is WSS preachy about anything but they happily labeled it woke because it failed

Woke is anything that is not straight white men. Straight white women can be there but they need to be secondary to the man. The Marvel fan boys were distraught. After the last Spiderman movie they had to deal with Wandavision which focused on a woman, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier which focused on the treatment of black soldiers in WWII and ended with a black Captain America, then Loki which made him bisexual and had equal focus on a woman, then Black Widow, woman, Shang Chi, asian, Eternals, everything. New Spiderman showed them men are still relevant.
WSS was woke because of what Spielberg said about subtitles
