Everyone made the same Assassin's Creed jokes about the Paris Olympic opening ceremony torch guy
OK, so let’s talk about it.
There was … a guy. At the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony on the Seine River. I don’t know how to describe him other than he’s dressed like one of the musketeers (kind of) with a mask on and a hood. And he did a bunch of parkour across rooftops while holding on to the Olympic torch.
Now, I’m guessing this guy will eventually reveal him/herself to be a big name who will light the Olympic torch in Paris, but before that happened, everyone made the same joke about how this was the main character in Assassins Creed:
The torch is being carried by a faceless person bedecked in swirling cloths, perhaps as a tribute to the French love of “Assassins Creed”#OpeningCeremony pic.twitter.com/pRFn72qtlK
