Ikarus360 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Just now, Sir Rols said: Minions? Surely they should have used Phryges I thought this. Wasted opportunity and feels like a forced ad. I think this is the part I dislike the most of this ceremony. Quote
sebastien1214 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well, even if Minions is a bit French, it's off-topic. Quote
rio2016man Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Illumination Pictures paid $30M for this in-advertisment during the Opening Ceremony Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 At least with Tokyo, Super Mario made sense and had Shinzo Abe. Minions? This is just to tie in with the new movie. Yuck, i hate this. Quote

JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Macron in the pouring rain. At least he's handling it better than the late Rishi Sunak Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 So they're using a slighty modified version of the anthem from the handover Quote

Blazerblaz3 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 So: Do we think the masked Assassin's Creed Character is going to be unmasked as the final torch barer or will they end up passing the torch off? Quote

kevzz Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 This feels lazy raising some plastic statue out of a plinth. At least use some real human? This is too history lesson for me Quote
Ikarus360 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 So far I don't know what to think of this ceremony. Its a mix of very neat ideas, but also some cringe moments (Minions lol) and others which I think could had been better. Still, i applaud France for being ballsy and breaking the mold so heavily with this show. But I just hope I dont see another forced american ad in a FRENCH show. 1 Quote

They didn't provide the NBC crew with the names!! I think I know who the Flame-Thief will be . . . a Frenchwoman!! Quote
