The American Society of Magical Negroes is a concept that originated from literary criticism and has been widely discussed in popular culture. Coined by film critic David Ehrenstein in a 2001 essay, the term refers to a recurring character archetype in American literature and film, specifically African-American characters with extraordinary, often supernatural abilities or knowledge, who exist solely to assist the white protagonist in their journey or growth. These characters are often portrayed as mystical, wise, and morally superior, providing guidance, protection, and support to the white protagonist without pursuing their own individual arcs or goals. They possess a deep understanding of the world and possess magical or supernatural abilities that enable them to fulfill their role as guides or catalysts in the story. The concept of the American Society of Magical Negroes has been the subject of much debate and critique. Critics argue that this archetype perpetuates racial stereotypes by reducing African-American characters to one-dimensional, subservient figures whose sole purpose is to aid white characters.

On August 08, 2014, independent developer INSIDE SYSTEM released Majin Shoujo (魔神少女) on the Nintendo 3DS, which would later be localized under the title The Legend of Dark Witch. This action-platformer mixes the jump-n-shoot action of Mega Man, on-the-fly upgrades akin to Gradius, and a colorful cast of characters inspired by the likes of Touhou into a unique blend of frenetic fun. The game very quickly gained a following of diehard fans, and their ranks increase with each new entry.

Critics argue that this archetype perpetuates racial stereotypes by reducing African-American characters to one-dimensional, subservient figures whose sole purpose is to aid white characters. It reinforces a power dynamic that positions African-Americans as instruments of whiteness and limits their agency and representation in literature and film. Despite these criticisms, the American Society of Magical Negroes continues to appear in various forms of popular culture.

Game Quicky: The Legend of the Dark Witch (3DS) ~ Also on PS Vita!

A little while ago, I posted about this game coming to the PS Vita. Now, I played this game on the 3DS. So, now that the game is released on both the 3DS and the PS Vita, it’s time to take a look at the game. Is it worth a purchase or is it should you avoid this game? Let me give you my opinion. And as usual, feel free to leave a comment in the comment section down below with your opinion on the article and/or the game.

The good

The soundtrack of this game is quite good. There isn’t any music track that I didn’t like in this game. If the developers would sell a CD with the soundtrack on it, I’m quite sure I’ll buy it.

Visually, this game has quite a lot of charm. Every world you visit has a certain theme and is decorated quite nice. The game is in my eyes, eye-candy.

This game has a lot of replay value. This is because you can choose the order to tackle the stages. There are 8 stages which you have to beat twice to beat a certain stage. Also, each stage has two hidden power-ups. So, you have a reason to go through each stage more then once.

Each stage is themed. And like I said earlier, the visuals are pretty nice in this game.

The controls of this game are tight and responsive. I rarely had any problems that I could blame on bad controls. The game isn’t the easiest of games, but all my deaths were my fault.

You can power up your character with points (called Tres) you earn during the stages. Something I really love is that you don’t loose your points when you die in the stages. This gives the impression of character growth.

You can downgrade the difficulty once. You can’t go back to the normal difficulty when you are on the easy difficulty. So, if the game is too hard, you can go from the normal difficulty to the easy one.

This game is extremely cheap. It was 3€ when I bought it, and you get your monies worth!

There is a challenge mode in the game. In this challenge mode you get a challenge like “Defeat boss X without taking damage.” So, more replay value for you!

You have infinite continues in this game. So, when you get a game over, the worst that happens is that you need to restart that stage. You don’t loose any Tes nor any overall progress. That’s a big plus in my book.

The in-between (not good but not bad)

It’s quite clear that this game is inspired by games like Megaman on the NES. And the difficulty shows that. On the hardest difficulty, I died so many times to very cheap enemy placement. Yet, when I started to memorize the level, I was able to avoid the enemies.

Something they also implemented in this game from the Megaman games are the knock backs when you get hit. Believe me, when you die on the same spot several times because you get knocked back into a bottomless pit, it’s annoying beyond believe.

The title screen isn’t a mixed bag in my eyes. The title card is very pretty but the bottom touch screen only shows “version 2.0” and it totally black. That’s a shame, since that’s a lot of unused space.

The bad

There is voice acting in the game, and it’s done pretty good. Yet, it’s all in Japanese and there is no translation. I wish there was either a dub or English subs.

Due to the lack of an intro cutscene explaining the basic story, I find myself skipping the dialogue when a boss battle starts. It’s a shame, since what I have read so far, the story looks interesting.

In normal difficulty, health pick ups are so rare to non existent, it’s a shame. I played this game on the easy difficulty, and the health pickups do exist.

If you pick this game up, I advise you to read the in game manual before you start playing.

Conclusion

This game is a very good game. If you have a bit of money to spare on the 3DS eShop or on the PS Vita, go and buy this game.

When you enjoy old-school Megaman games and want a new challenge, this game is one for you. While the game is quite a lot of fun, it can be very irritating sometimes. This game lacks some polish in the enemy placement but overall, you get more then your monies worth.

The negatives of this game can be game breaking for some people. But, for each negative, there is a positive.

I haven’t finished this game yet, but I’m enjoying myself so far. This game is perfect to play while waiting for the doctor or while I’m on the train to work. If I have to give the game a score now, I would give the game a 3/5.

In any case, I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing this one. I hope to be able to welcome you in another article on my blog but until then, take care and have a great rest of your day!

From films like "The Green Mile" and "The Legend of Bagger Vance" to novels like "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "The Help," these characters often serve as catalysts for the growth and transformation of the white protagonist while neglecting their own individuality and experiences. In recent years, there has been a gradual shift in the representation of African-American characters in literature and film, with greater emphasis on their multi-dimensionality, agency, and narratives that center around their own experiences and aspirations. While progress has been made, it is crucial to continue challenging and questioning the prevailing stereotypes to ensure a more authentic and diverse portrayal of African-Americans in popular culture..
