I have literally just finished playing "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" for the first time in my life and the the first thing I did was to come here and reflect about it by seeing your video. I must say that you have made a very sound and beautiful video, entertaining and emotive, full of wisdom and hope. I agree with everything you say because it really is a terrible slight to both Ezio and Edward to compare them as the same character. Nothing could be further from the truth, as different morals can be learned from both characters, as well as from Altaïr and Connor, as you well explained in the video. This game reminded me of an Italo-German mini-series I saw many years ago about the life of St Augustine: "Restless Heart: The Confessions of Saint Augustine" (2010). Although plotwise they were very different, the life of an 18th century pirate, and the other an 430 AD Roman era orator turned Christian, story arc and moralwise they were very similar in the sense that the movie shows us a man who lives his life, to the fullest, makes many mistakes, and it is through the collective knowledge of his experiences good and bad, that in his middle age he baptizes himself a Christian, and changes his life for the better. And for the better I mean that he found purpose in his life to help right the wrongs of his times, some of which he had helped justify oratorically. His life was thereafter not blissful, but he had solace in the purpose he found through the Christian beliefs. To any interested, here is a TH-cam link: th-cam.com/video/5g_sjPhrPBo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=N-f8HaijECz8cOgt Edward Kenway is a protagonist that I started disliking because of his irresponsibility, but he slowly wins you over because, stubborn as he is, he manages to make the change in his life in time before his "ship irrevocably capsizes", and thus makes the sacrifices of everyone around him have meaning. In the end, I am glad that Edward Kenway was able to get his life in order, because not many people do it, either because they cannot see beyond their noses, or because other external situations do not allow them to do so. Thank you for your great video. It was an honor to watch it.
I am deeply touched by your comment, friend. I am also honored that you watched my video and glad you found so much meaning in it, because I put a lot of effort and heart into making it. Stay safe and be well. 💚💙❤
I am glad you agree. That is what I liked most about Edward Kenway's story, that he managed to make the change in his life for the better. This video by "Jose Ortiz Reflects" makes a very thorough and emotive analysis and is one of the best I have seen. Hope you enjoy the movie and have a nice day or night.

Thank you, I’m going to go watch this movie tonight and so true some people do not change because they can’t see it or external issues
I am glad you agree.
That is what I liked most about Edward Kenway's story, that he managed to make the change in his life for the better.
