Based on the massively popular — and prolific — video-game series of the same name, Creed is set to open in theaters Dec. 21, 2016.
Before hardcore Creed gamers start scratching their heads (and filling up the comments) about how exactly Callum Lynch fits into the game world, we can tell you that Fassbender’s character was created specifically for the film version. (The movie isn’t retelling any of the existing Creed games, but rather introducing new characters into the same world.)
Lynch discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. After gaining incredible knowledge and skills he’s poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day.
Also starring Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises), Michael Kenneth Williams (12 Years a Slave), and Ariane Labed (Before Midnight), cameras start rolling for Creed on Monday. Filming is set to happen in Malta, London, and Spain.
If someone is publicly doing something to intentionally try and piss you off, don’t react to them.
Sounds cliche, I know, but deal with them quietly. Ignore. File a report. Etc. Don’t let them know you’ve even seen what they’ve done, however, and most importantly, don’t try to make a big deal over it, because that WILL make things worse for you.
When someone is trying to instigate shit, they are trying to get reactions. Each reaction they get is another opportunity for them to continue. The best way to deal with these people is to cut off their opportunities, especially if you can do it without them realizing. (Thus when they try to do so, they find it to be a fruitless effort.)
No, it doesn’t matter how offensive they were. If anything the more offended you are, the more important it is that you follow this advice, because the fact that you’re offended won’t make them stop. This applies to literally everything, down from someone just attacking you for your work to commentary that’s an attempt to be triggering.
