Redefining the Black Sheep: The Meaning of Legacy in Assassin's Creed

In the Assassin's Creed community, Connor is often perceived as less "cool" or "charismatic" compared to Edward or Haytham, making him seem like the "black sheep" of the Kenway family. This perception largely stems from Eurocentric conventions in media, where certain traits—like suave confidence or a rugged charm—are the expected standards for protagonists. These conventions often lead to the marginalization and misinterpretation of characters from minority backgrounds whose customs and perspectives differ from dominant norms. This bias makes it easy for audiences to overlook Connor’s own emotional depth, integrity, and charisma he brings to the series.

However, through a more critical lens, Connor is not only an integral member of the Kenway legacy; he is the pride and culmination of the family’s ideals. Where Edward falls short, Connor rises. Edward’s ambition and flaws prevent him from becoming the honest, altruistic, and humble man Connor ultimately becomes. In contrast, Connor embodies the Assassin that Haytham was once destined to be and that Edward hoped he would become: empathetic, idealistic, and persistent. Connor, in essence, represents the Kenway family’s greatest achievements—realizing the values and aspirations that his predecessors dreamed of reaching.

Don't be upset that Connor isn't them; it's them who couldn't be him.

I want to like them, really I do, but how can we get to know them when “Grammy April” keeps telling them to stop fighting, goofing off, and teasing each other? Girl, stop being such a helicopter parent! Let them interact, they’re kids for crying in a bucket!

I think Yi (female with the yellow markings) is going to end up being my favorite. From what little I’ve seen, she’s sweet, cheerful and likes helping the adults.

Please tell me there’s going to be more to Odyn’s (male, red scarf) personality than an obsession with food🤦🏻‍♀️

They seem to be gearing up Moja (female, kinda a light brown) as a hothead Ala Raphael but with less charm.

Uno (male, very pale blue color) has a cool physical design but his attitude could use some adjustment.

And I get that they’re really young, but why are they talking like cavemen? I’ve never met a toddler who speakers like Cookie Monster (unless they were purposely imitating him).

Also a disturbing thought has lodged itself in my head… The original quartet were children of fate, an accident. These four were purposely mutated by April, trying to recreate that moment of destiny, she was literally playing God. How many turtles died before she got it right? How many made it past the mutation only to die a mutant version of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) before she was successful? I mean Jeezus Henry Christmas, wtf April?

April needs to back off and let Casey Marie figure out parenthood. The girl is floundering but she’ll never learn if April keeps intervening like the grandmother in Encanto.

This is my story; I am Mon Anthony Era. It has been almost two years since my life was featured in newspapers in different countries. It is an honor for me.

I am just a simple person raised on an island. We are not wealthy and live a truly simple life. I never imagined that someone like me would be known in other countries, and that my life story would be heard.

Of course, this honor is not just for me but for my parents who raised me. Without them, I would not be Mon Anthony Era. Here is my story, please read it in this newspaper.

Turtle tots! 🥰🐢 But why do they have bucked teeth?🤓🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

I love how Splinter never disbelieves his sons, he simply explains that he believes them but he can’t see the evil spirit like they can.

And Jeezus, poor babies! What an icky thing to have haunting you. I love how it threatens to eat them if they scream, they pause in shock for all of two heartbeats, then run screaming to their father lol!

I really feel for Splinter in this one. It’s a unique and heartbreaking experience to hold your father’s ashes and put them in their grave. You can’t help but think “This is the last time I’ll ever touch him.” And “He carried me all my life, now I carry him at the end of his.”

Splinter saying vaguely how he had to go through a lot to get Yoshi’s ashes in the first place, and I take this to mean one of two possibilities.

Possibility number one: he stole them. He had to track down where the coroner sent them, sneak in, steal them and then probably stole that nice as heck urn.

Possibility number two: the Utrons had them and Splinter had to find a way to contact them, prove who he was, and plead his case to bring the ashes home to Japan.
