Right, so AC3 brought Juno to the present day as an AI ghost, forming a cult to create a body through Abstergo. Now we have Loki resurrected in the present day to…what? Create chaos? Bringing these ISU precursors into the present day is a fun idea, if they actually do anything with it. (I’m still pissed they ended the Juno storyline in a comic and left the game fans hanging.)
oh, I remember... the comic showed that Juno was revived in a "clone body" created by altering the Isu DNA sample extracted from a Sage (who just so happens to be Elijiah the son of Desmond Miles) Elijiah later turned on Juno by helping the Assassin Charlotte dela Cruz use the power of the Koh Il Nor diamond to confuse Juno long enough for Charlotte to kill her, thus, stopping Juno's world domination plan Elijiah later escaped with the Koh Il Nor and his fate is left unknown, Charlotte presumably died when Otso Berg decided to blow up the base without waiting for her to get out
It's speculated that Fenrir may actually be a literal wolf, or at least a Wolf/Isu hybrid creature. See, Aletheia and Loki were scientists, therefore Fenrir was most likely, similar to the Hekatonchires we fight in the Atlantis DLC, a creature created by the Isu in a lab (here, it would be Aletheia and Loki, in secret), similar to Jormungandr and Hel. Although Hel might be a Hybrid between an Isu, and something else. As for Basim's motivation; See, we have to get something out of the way first. Unlike Juno, Basim himself is not actually Isu. Nor is it Loki having taken over Basim's body. Basim IS still Basim, he just simply has Loki's memories, and has accepted that, since he's a reincarnation, Loki's experiences and trauma, are also his own, therefore he simply chooses to pursue his past life's quest of finding his 'kids'. Since the staff of Hermes Trismegistus managed to revive him (perhaps it had something to do with his high amount of Isu DNA), it should do the same to the remains of his 'children'. Or perhaps they are kept in a secret Isu facility, in stasis. Considering his feud with Odin and Eivor ended when he lived through Eivor's memories, and saw how she rejected Odin, this is the only motivation Basim currently has, I think.
yayy more Isu lore=) btw can u actually tell us what snippets of AC soundtracks u used for this video..like in order..i can spot almost every game in there haha really like it as an ultimate AC mix haha
apparently, while the Greek-Roman Isu clan decided to upload their consciousness into artifacts that can interact with modern technology, the Aesir Isu clan decided to preserve their genes by going through "reincarnation" if you know the lore surrounding reincarnation, you'll know that people lose memories of past life after being reborn, but Loki seems to be the exception as he found a way to keep and regain his past life memories
im not positive about in the games...but in mythology Loki equivalents in Greek and Roman are many based on certain aspects such as craftsman, trickster, ...you could have based on Lokis skill as a craftsman (Hephaistos) and the Romans (Vulcan)...Hermes and Roman Mercury were also trickster gods...
I got two theories. 1. Fenrir is supposed to be Adam and Lokis wife is Eve. Lokis wife conciseness is uploaded to the staff, Loki is in the tree, and Adam is placed in the same device Juno’s husband was put in so Adam can come back as a sage. At the end of Valhalla, Loki says he’ll bring his family back together. Loki is already there, he need’s transfer his wife’s conciseness to a human body, and Adam is Desmond’s son. 2. Loki and his wife are Adam and Eve. It ties into the chaos of ragnarok and the chaos of the video of Adam and Eve.
I like that second idea and it would tie into the interactions with Loki and Odin, that Odin would take some pity on Loki/Adam and the human rebellion from slavery but he doesn’t see them as equal to Isu like himself. This would also give explanation to the Norse names for Adam and Eve; Loki and his wife Angrboða. As both names basically mean “the bringer of woe/chaos/the end times” and this would probably be how most of the Norse Isu saw Adam and Eve even if they respected their leaders choice to give one of them a safe haven “sure they can stay as you swore an oath but this will bite us in the ass eventually.” PS this would also give rise to the myths surrounding their children Fenrir, Jörmungandr, and Hel. As they are the children of the Human/Isu hybrids that started the rebellion they will be viewed as the beginning of the end times for the Isu.
So wait. Is Basim now Basim or is he Basim with Loki? That is something that I kinda dont understand. Or it doesnt make any sense. Bc in many ways Basim is different then Loki (personality). It would make more sense if its Basim with Loki rather then "Oh He was loki but blud forgot about it."
The takeaway I got from Mirage is that he is Loki and always had been Loki. At the end of Mirage, the Isu machine he interacts with is empty which makes me believe that he was originally placed within the machine as Loki, spent centuries going crazy being preserved in the machine, and was later discovered by the Hidden Ones at Alamut which is why Roshan and Rayhan know about his secret. It is also revealed to us that Basim’s perception of his reality was constantly being distorted by his repressed Isu counterpart and the physical and emotional trauma caused by living in a box for hundreds if not thousands of years. So in my mind, Basim was an identity fabricated by a post-traumatized Loki as a means to better rationalize himself within a world that was all too foreign to Loki who had been born in a highly advanced civilization now completely destroyed and only rumored about in mythology.
@@ihaveouid3518 Yeah, thats the right track for sure. It seams that the "Combination" of Basim and Nehal unlocked his "past". That is why his Eagle also refuses to Work with him, because he senses the difference.
@@ihaveouid3518 No, because Loki died during Ragnarok. Loki WAS held in that machine, but he escaped, and then we see him in that truth machine using Yggdrasil. Basim is not a personality created due to trauma, but just a genuinely separate person, just like every other incarnate of the Aesir were. It's kinda like with Wolverine. He was born in the 1800's as James Howlett, and then went through a lot of stuff, and a bunch of wars and such, up until in the 70's, he gets shot in the head, and gets amnesia. He then wakes up with only Dogtags that say his name is Logan, and his codename is Wolverine. So then he lives his life like this for many decades, and forms his personality around being an amnesiac with no past, who's name is Logan. One day, he regains his old memories, and realises "oh, so there was more to my life?" and "Oh, so I used to never drink alcohol, yet now I do (it's an example). But that doesn't mean he just randomly reverts to that old personality. He's still the current one, just with the memories and knowledge of the previous life. Same goes for Basim. The only difference is that Loki genuinely died, and he was reborn centuries later.
to be honest its because this was meant to be small. it was after all just the zuri rebellion. i mean it was big for the time but it was just a relatively successful slave rebellion nothing much else. in comparison to the other assassins creed games which take place in BIG and bombastic events this was quite small and miner. if anything if we get another mirage his next 1-2 games are big games as those should that takes place during the brothers rebellion (i forgot the actual name of the thing but remembered its nickname for some reason) which last if i remember correctly about 20 years. that was a huge conflict that riped apart the middle east and is comparable to the yellow and even in some ways taipai rebelions of china. aka millions of people died and everything was on fire. this game was pure origin and an introduction to the true basim even if they were split. if you want the hardcore historical event game give him like 5 years and hes going to end up stuck in the middle of the brothers rebelion.
Took me about 20 hours to complete the story, so excluding post game content. Is that not about the average playtime for a videogame? Or close to it. I feel like the bloated RPGs make Mirage look smaller than it is.. it’s fine enough in terms of length
RIP Comicstorian. Thanks for your storytelling that we will miss
what? did he die ?
@@nasrjaber3106yes

Assassin Creed lore is all over the place at this point Ubisoft writers are pretty much making things as they go. Great coverage video though
Makes me appreciate the older ac games. Will still play mirage
Subbed
yayy more Isu lore=)
btw can u actually tell us what snippets of AC soundtracks u used for this video..like in order..i can spot almost every game in there haha
really like it as an ultimate AC mix haha

if you know the lore surrounding reincarnation, you'll know that people lose memories of past life after being reborn, but Loki seems to be the exception as he found a way to keep and regain his past life memories
@@firxanza5172the hell you talking about? dude was asking about music used in the video not AC lore lol
Heyyyyyyyyy I know this guys voice!?!!?!?!!!??!!!!!!
I just finished vahalla but I don't know where people have learn basim is loki and evior is odin. It wasn't mentioned in the game at all? Pleaser help
U did the arc where u play as Odin an did dig deep to his story ?
It was at the ending of valhalla if you pay attention
Wait wait wait
They only reincarnate once?
Yet in mirage basim said the shadows he saw was his previous reincarnation...
im not positive about in the games...but in mythology Loki equivalents in Greek and Roman are many based on certain aspects such as craftsman, trickster, ...you could have based on Lokis skill as a craftsman (Hephaistos) and the Romans (Vulcan)...Hermes and Roman Mercury were also trickster gods...

After Mirage it seems that he is Basim with the Memories of Loki. As I see it, not quite a Sage, more like a Fusion of the two.
The takeaway I got from Mirage is that he is Loki and always had been Loki. At the end of Mirage, the Isu machine he interacts with is empty which makes me believe that he was originally placed within the machine as Loki, spent centuries going crazy being preserved in the machine, and was later discovered by the Hidden Ones at Alamut which is why Roshan and Rayhan know about his secret.

I'm just sad with how small Mirage is, Ubisoft claims people don't like huge RPGs seems like a cope
isnt a smaller scale a breathe of fresh air? every valhalla complaint i cant not hear about, is its long padded story.
@@monmonkey7029 maybe for some, I enjoy a game I can sink loads of time into and still have stuff I haven't seen
to be honest its because this was meant to be small. it was after all just the zuri rebellion. i mean it was big for the time but it was just a relatively successful slave rebellion nothing much else. in comparison to the other assassins creed games which take place in BIG and bombastic events this was quite small and miner.

rpg for origins was good ... but odyssey and valhalla... NO...atleast those were good for graphics and sceneries
