The concept of having the competitors arrive on boats is intriguing, but it fails to capture the energy of the audience and looks terrible. My apologies, but it won’t work.
According to someone else, “Graham Norton’s commentary questioning what the hell is going on” would be a great addition to this opening ceremony. Is anybody else finding this very confusing and bizarre?
The disguised torch bearer scurrying over the city roofs was likened by gamers to the figure Arno from the Assassin’s Creed video game.
‘Keep an eye on Paris’ rooftops – Arno could just be looking from above.’ The official Assassin’s Creed X account even shared a video of Arno bouncing about in the game.
