Ubisoft is unironically treating Christianity with more respect in recent games.
AC: Valhalla - dozens of churches you could enter. Granted for purpose of robbing, but they were tastefully recreated, and the MC Eivor was discouraged from killing innocent priests and clerics; even if not very Viking like.
Far Cry 6 - several enterable churches, tastefully recreated in a Caribbean aesthetic. The villain of the game burns a church to the ground and that is depicted as a bad thing.
Far Cry 5 - One of the main characters, Father Jerome, is a Catholic priest. Several missions involve the MC protecting a church from attack. Also, Joseph Seed was right; enough said.
Its truly baffling how badly he has handling all of this.
IMO he knew that the leaks only scratched the surface of wokeness. He panicked hard because he knew it would all come out before release and affect sales.
He wanted to have his cake and eat it too, but cried out like a child when he lost both options.
Star Wars is broken beyond repair. They've already failed. They can never recover from The Last Jedi. The Rise of Palpatine was just J.J. salt in the wounds of anyone who liked Star Wars.
A majority of former fans have reached peak apathy and wouldn't watch Star Wars if you physically carried them to the movie theatre.
They lost the FIFA license, and their soccer game no longer prints money
This is it right here. EA consolidated to the point of only having 2 successful yearly franchises, and now those are both failing. The 3-4 yearly franchises are all dead too. (DICE's Battlefield and Battlefront come to mind).
And people are getting more, and more, and more, and more fucking fed up with them.
And those people are not afraid to speak publicly. That's also a huge factor. People aren't quiet anymore. They're angry and getting louder every day.
I'm not sure if the witches were established in one of the EU novels or the Clone Wars show. But I'm surely noticing that witches are spotlighted in the Ashoka show, Acolyte show, Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. Probably other media I missed well. And we all know why this is happening.
I agree with Harley Quinn. Best if they just left the character as is. The need to constantly and incessantly "deconstruct" and "subvert" things is killing traditional media. Again, we all know why this is happening.
It was interesting listening to him talk about how he approached being a Vulcan and how much he fought to change scripts to keep Spock from becoming… this.
Indeed. I believe that's how the Vulcan neckpinch came into being. I believe Nimoy complained that Spock was supposed to knock out an enemy with a blow to the head and how primitive that was and was a waste of opportunity to give the audience more knowledge on Vulcans. And the scene was changed to Spock using intellect over brawn to disable his enemy.
There was a time when actors seemed to care about the characters they portrayed. Meanwhile Patrick Stewart doesn't and never will understand Jean Luc Picard and why fans love the character.
Vulcans have TOO MUCH emotion, that they had to take extreme measures with their cultural conditioning to prevent self-destruction
This is correct. When Spock's father started mentally breaking down the first time anyone really noticed is when he cried at Data's concert performance, and it was one tear, not an outburst. That one simple break in discipline instantly told everyone that something was wrong with the guy.
For all of Jar Jar's faults at lease he understood that aspect of Vulcans.
Amazon deserves all bad things after destroying Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time.
At least we can laugh at their billion dollar failures, but it still hurts the legacy of these IPs being attached to such shit.
