All the people who worked on Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. An endless sea of white people making a game about a black man in Japan.
I’m just waiting to see how long it takes before UbiSoft gets France into a war with Japan.
That’s kind of sad given the various French/Japanese co-productions going at least as far back, if not further, than Mysterious Cities Of Gold to today’s Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug & Cat Noir. However, UbiSoft continues to tick off the entirety of Japan. For a country accused of being cowards during World War II now having a group that keeps pissing off the enemy from that war, they better be glad Japan is only allowed to have a defensive military (someone needs to tell Marvel Studios that, but American’s ticking off Japanese creators is hardly news anymore).
I wasn’t going to go over this subject again. I thought I said my peace. That was before the next time they screwed up. With the latest act of stupidity it seems that the history/religion-ignorant creators making Assassin’s Creed: Shadows have made another big blunder. On its own I could write it off as just video game mechanics, and I’m not saying anything we’re about to discuss was done on purpose beyond turning the “caddy” into “Tiger Woods”. Unfortunately for UbiSoft it’s been mistake on top of mistake for this latest installment in the franchise, and that’s got them in hot water not only with Japanese gamers but the Japanese government. If you thought the US government going after “violent video games” anytime someone connects a slapfight to Mortal Kombat or something is bad, here’s your roller coaster ticket because the ride is starting.

News came early yesterday that Kathleen Kennedy would be stepping down as president of Disney-owned LucasFilm. This is after years of rumors that she would be fired or her power diminished because some how Bob Iger, who has his own history of legacy destroying, were proven false in the past. Of course, the people you’d expect to celebrate threw a celebration…but I found this time a few more people tempering their celebratory natures by realizing something I’ve been noting for a few years now: it’s not the victory you think it is…if this indeed comes to pass this time.
To say that Kennedy’s reign over Star Wars and other properties created or signed off by George Lucas, LucasFilm, the video game arm LucasArts, and the various tie-in novels, comics, audio dramas has been controversial is a huge understatement. Her “Sequel Trilogy” is still used as examples of bad filmmaking. The Acolyte is one of the biggest jokes in Star Wars discussion. The “High Republic” only had one interesting story and it was the preschool show that actually taught kids how to be a good person in a show about kids who can fly through space in their own starships and fighters despite not even hitting puberty yet. It certainly wasn’t the book about a creature that looked like a rock and followed Weeping Angels rules when it came to moving, “The Force is female”, or any of the other errors during Kennedy’s time.
So now that she’s gone all fans’ problems are over, right? The lady parodied by South Park with “put a chick in it, make her lame and gay” is finally going away. This will make up for everything done to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Willow. Oh wait, this doesn’t solve anything. It might not even stop things from getting worse. Have we learned nothing?
