Woke can be hard to discern, but it's usually pretty obvious.
Remaking james bond as a crippled trans lesbian = pandering, patronizing and clearly woke
Starting a new franchise that happens to feature a crippled trans lesbian lead = perfectly respectable endeavor that could be great
I think people get them mixed up. Generally if it's an original franchise, and the "woke" stuff serves a sensible purpose narrative wise or lore wise, it doesn't bother me at all. People are definitely too sensitive about it now, kind of an over-correction.
