The Verdict
A glossy, twist-driven magic heist sequel that's almost entirely free of identity messaging. The cast is mildly diverse and one new female magician is added, but these fit the modern setting and carry no agenda. Nothing here registers as woke.
What the AI Flagged
Each axis scored 0–100, with the receipts. The headline score weights the worst offense, so a single egregious element isn't diluted by the rest.
