This is just me but I also hope in season two that Izzy has a small backstory and continues to be the antagonist. I think we all notice how the villains in shows or movies often get sympathisized by some fans and honestly, it’s tiring. Like just let villains/ antagonist be the antagonist without having to excuse them. Yes, we can sympathize and understand why they’re the person of who they are now, but to go through such lengths to excuse their wrong-doings is a lot. Or go through such measures to want the antagonist a redemption arc like Zuko.
Like no, Izzy should lie in the bed that made for a while longer. I want to see him plot many downfalls on Stede just to fail in the end. I pray the revenge crew + Ivan & fang successfully throw his ass overboard. Or do a vicious evil laugh when stede and ed are fighting each other, he’s thinking ed put an end to stede but it’s the opposite. Instead, he watches ed just grab stede by his shirt and kiss him roughly because of how much he missed him and fall into a complete heartbreak.
It’s coming off as cruel towards izzy but the man brought it on himself when he didn’t disclose to stede that his boss was the legendary blackbeard. It was over from that point on.
Frenchie would be his own hype man, if we’re being honest. The little “Go Frenchie!” line to tell himself and boost his confidence to throw that book overboard was cute and funny.
I think what made the show more hilarious was how someone in the background would say a funny line or insult. I think it was Frenchie called izzy “Jizzy” and I had to pause from him speaking truth.
May I offer you a nice yellow onion in these trying times?
[ID. Roach, in his usual uniform of pink striped shirt and stained apron, is leaning against a random pole on the Revenge. He’s smiling at the viewer with a crooked grin and peeling a yellow onion. ]
The more I think about the food we see served on the Revenge, the more desperate I am to know what Roach’s entire deal is. This ruthless pirate who once sewed up his own arm after being stabbed is really out there baking scones for his captain’s cozy one-on-one breakfasts with Blackbeard and whipping up tapas for a meeting with the Spanish and also making what appear to be PICKLE SANDWICHES tied up with STRING for an impromptu visit from the English Navy. I love everything about him.
