Fuck You Ubisoft

This rant is brought to you by the fact that Ubisoft, the makers of the Assassin's Creed Series, are a bunch of scared Lil bitches for their decisions when it comes to the two upcoming AC games coming out. So as we all know, Assassin's Creed 3 is coming out and the protagonist is an assassin that is Native American, well he was until white purist gamers started bitching about why do they gotta play as an Indian. So Ubisoft, instead of standing their ground and saying "Fuck you, if you don't like it then don't buy the game", they act like Lil bitches, they decide to wimp out and alter the race of the new protagonist Connor Kenway, birth name Ratonhnhaké:ton (pronounced "Ra-doon-ha-gay-doon").


But wait folks cause it gets better because not only is there a AC 3 thats coming out for consoles, But there is a Playstation Vita version coming out where you play as a female assassin who is black. Oh wait my mistake she's half black and half French because once again, the white portable console gamers got all upset cause they gotta play as a black assassin. So the character's name is Aveline de Grandpré and her father was French and her mother was of course her mother was black, but wait my faithful viewers because it get gets better.


So with this upcoming game one would wonder who will be Doing the voice of miss Aveline de Grandpré and would think they would have Sanaa Lathan, Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union or maybe Zoe Saldana do the voice. Well I just saw on Kotaku.com that Aveline's voice will be done by Sarah Natochenny, a white actress and model perhaps most recognizable as the voice of Ash Ketchum in Pokémon cartoons.


Here's what I have to say about this is REALLY UBISOFT? It's bad enough that you had to make the character mixed but it's even worse that you had to hire an actress that is whiter than the Purest Cocaine coming out of South America. Apparently this actress impressed the casting people, but what imma ask is how? She ain't black, apparently it was her impressive French accent that sold the casting director but if you wanna add insult to injury then this is the type of shit that you do.


This is another thing that makes me pissed off once again. I can't believe that these multi-million dollar companies are a bunch of Lil bitches that they don't want to upset the white gamers as if they are the only ones that purchase their games. No assholes there are more than just white gamers that buy your products and I'm a member of the non white gaming community that buy your games.


As a gamer I can't deal with the fact that these gaming companies fall under the pressure of this community time and time again. The fact that we had a Black Protagonist in a GTA game was amazing but I'm ready for another one and I'm tired of playing games where I can create my own black protagonist.


I'm ready for another game where the protagonist is of color and have no trace of white in them, so can all these gaming companies stop kissing these fucking white gamers asses and as they say in Spartacus, "Grab A Hold Of Your Fuckin' Cock". MAN THE FUCK UP GAMING COMPANIES!!!!!!!!!


I'M OUT OF HERE AND I GOTTA GO AND SEE IF I CAN EXCHANGE MY PREORDER OF AC 3 FOR SOMETHING ELSE... PEACE

Green Lantern John Stewart: Why Are You Here?

Okay so this blog post has been on my mind for quite some time and I honestly want to give my views and opinion on the Green Lantern John Stewart Character. He is the First black Superhero for DC Comics and the third black hero in comic book history after black panther and falcon of Marvel Comic Fame. He's an architect and a war veteran from Detroit, Michigan and is The replacement of Green Lantern Guy Gardner after Guy got injured due to an accident. Or so that was the story in issue 87 in which John made his debut. In later issues say issue 183 I believe, the origin in which John becomes the apart of the Green Lantern Corps. is completely different because in that issue, Hal Jordan quits the Corps and the Guardians need a replacement and choose John.



           So right there that left me with a WTF moment. Then later on he shows up not only in comics but on tv on a Justice league cartoon show and for some reason he's on trial for murder and has to relinquish his ring, but apparently in the comics he still has his ring and then in LATER issues (I.e.. Last year before The New 52) there is a war of the lanterns and he gets caught and held hostage with other GL's and his way of escape is by Killing Another GL (WTF Moment #2) and then in The New 52, He's being put on Trial for Murder AGAIN!!!!! Really Dude? Man some reputation this guy has. Oh before I forget, during the War of the Lanterns Story Arc, this Nigga blows up Mogo. For those of you who don't know who or what that is that is the being that gives rings to new wearers that will become apart of the Green Lantern Corps. This guy is crazy, a rash thinker, and honestly? I believe he is a waste of ink.



My view and opinion on this guy is that I don't believe that he deserves a movie, Hell I believe this guy shouldn't even be around. The only reason he's around is because DC didn't wanna be outdone by Marvel so they Made John Stewart. He suppose to be DC's answer to Marvel's Black Panther and Falcon, or Black Panther and Goliath depending on who you ask. My point is this, Co-Host of Nerdgasm Noire Network, Operation Cubicle and Character Select JP Fairfield or Isitis on twitter had gone on a Lil rant on an episode on Character Select. The reason for her rant was that Ryan Reynolds was going to play Batman when they reboot it (this is something I'm saving for another blog post) and she went on to say if they're going reboot batman and have him as Batman, then she better get her John Stewart Green Lantern Movie along with some other movies featuring heroes of color.




 My answer to that is this, I don't wanna see a movie about him, I don't care about John Stewart and IF they do a movie then I would like it to be a joke because that is what I see him as. So my vision of the movie is that I would like Tyler Perry and the People that did batman and robin in '97 to do it and I would like to see the role of John Stewart to be played by non other than actor Marlon Waynes and then have Ryan Reynolds do cameos as Hal Jordan just for the fuck of it. This is one Hero of Color I could do without and if I offended anyone who is a fan of the John Stewart Green Lantern Character then I apologize to you but as for me? I could do without him and if you wanna put it on an even bigger scale I could do without Green Lantern in General because there are so many of them and not to mention that there are different color lanterns just as well that that whole world is confusing and convoluted and just flat out boring to me.

So if you are a Lantern fan don't take it personal I'm just venting because this universe of heroes is just... MEH to me.

This is the part where I would give shout outs but I'm just gone say go to the links on the side and tell them that The Black Chivalrous Nerd sent you.

Peace, Blessings and I'm Signing Off
