nope, Assassin's Creed is surprisingly a franchise that I know very very little about
well, almost anything that went after I got married I know almost nothing about.... it was when I had little free time, and when time went by I had a computer too slow to run anything modern...
"Only Ubisoft can take a franchise about two secretive organizations battling each other throughout history to secure alien artifacts and slowly make that boring as fuck"
Star Wars Episodes 7-9 could have been a story about young people coping with the fall of the Empire, seeing how chaos and rule of the mighty slowly return with no one to uphold the law
It could have been a story about a power vacuum and how rebellion without a "What comes after" plan can lead to even more suffering
most media employees are part of a niche, and producers consume that niche material without realizing they are targeting just a tiny subset of the population
I once was on a blockchain convention and someone there told everyone around that organic food is better and could be cheaper if the farmers were not only after profits... I grew up in a farm and I asked him if he had once set foot on a farm, or he was a urban guy grown and raised on Sao Paulo...
he said he knew how it was, and the profit driven agriculture was poisoning the food, and the government should step in and fine the farmers that were selling organic food above the price of normal, poison infested food...
I grew up in a farm, so I can say that without pesticides you lose at least 30% of the product... and you lose half of the remainder because it's not pretty enough for the organic market. and the production per area is a third
so back on media producers, they really think they know about the world because the niche they target is pretty vocal, and the vast majority of population kinda don't care and don't agree nor disagree with them
A lot of these stories just have NOTHING going for them
Look at Rey in Star Wars. She has as much personality as Gordon Freeman
She has zero stakes in the story, zero reason to care one way or the other, zero personal flaws to overcome
She does what she does because the script needs her to
Look, if you wrote a heartfelt story about a woman looking for her wife, because you want to be LGBT-inclusive, and the story is a genuine banger, then people will like it
here in Brazil the largest internet outlet is Uol. when they publish something sexuality related, the cover image is usually a gay or lesbian couple...
one black-lead movie that was amazing: tenet... it didn't had to be forced, it was just a movie and an actor that did a great job... now forcing a black guy in a movie just because it's a black guy is outrageous...
You include a gay character and being gay is not important to the story? "You act as if being gay is the same as being straight. You are invalidating the gay experience"
down here a restaurant got into the news because they received a request for food to not be touched by black people because reasons... it started a rage for days, until a police report found out that the owner was the one sending the message just for the publicity
@MechMK1 maybe, maybe not... people change, maybe you will change, maybe you won't... but 20 years ago I never thought I would find anyone willing to have children with me, and now I have 3
