we just got to the reveal of scott's role as the maroon leader in massau in the watch with my housemate and i will say that his character and story are ones that i appreciated just enough the first time but that really get better with rewatches —same it happens with vane! i think i'm more aware of where the craft strains, of the fact that they wrote the first two seasons as a whole but didn't know if the story would make it past that point, that they only decided to really tackle slavery as the core thread of the story it needed to be when they sat down to write s3, so i'm more predisposed to see the characters they clearly were trying to write in s3 and interpret the first two seasons in a light that favors those later developments. hakeem kae kazim is a very charismatic actor also so i really enjoy paying close attention to his scenes while i want to hit zack mcgowan with bricks very often even though vane is a character i have come to greatly enjoy in rewatches. anyway. i wish season three was a million episodes long.

another argument in favor of the memory wipe is that every black sails rewatch i get a little more mad at joji's (lack of) writing by rewatch fifty i may actually go and kill steinberg and levine

diasdelfuego

i think calling it a lack of writing is letting them get away with it though because the thing about rewatching a show a lot is you get a chance to pay attention to detail so i have been paying attention to the members of the walrus that regularly get meaningul moments and scenes of their own, like dooley and joshua, and joji is very much among the ones that most consistently show up and there is something of a characterization being built around him, the same way there is with, say, muldoon or dobbs, like, joji is an intentionally crafted character and the mysterious silent asian is The Character! deeply annoying but the racist writing does not stop him from serving massive amounts of cunt at all times, even while starving

diasdelfuego

i will say i am still intrigued by him even though i know there wasn't much thought put into his character at all because conceptually he's brimming with possibility. i don't think winston chong is japanese? but i am fairly sure joji is meant to be because his swords are, and that would make him quite an anachronistic character, since japanese piracy had been dead for over half a century by 1715 and this was well into the edo period. was he a samurai that left or was forced out? a sailor with dutch merchants? was he not born in japan at all? did he remember romantic tales of their own pirates from the century prior and let them guide him to the account in the caribbean? and since again i know there wasn't much thought put into his character, who's to say he isn't, i don't know, chinese and he just picked up the swords for whatever reason. chinese pirates were closer to military fleets than self-governing enterprises, so could he have gotten in the crosshairs of a well-respected captain and been basically dishonorably discharged, forced out? a romantic tryst, a political misstep! and obviously when i say i wish he wasn't written as a racist charicature i don't mean i wanted to see any of this laid out on the screen, just the same we don't really know any backstory about the other guys i mentioned, i'm talking about like, showing him speaking to somebody in the background 🙄 but if i could trust there was any kind of consideration put into this story, pondering these possibiities would be all that richer.

“Ultimately we abandoned that [the idea that unions had a place in an economy] and believed in the idea of trickle-down and the idea of the market economy and the market knows best, to the point where now libertarianism in my country is actually being taken seriously as an intelligent mode of political thought. It’s astonishing to me. But it is. People are saying I don’t need anything but my own ability to earn a profit. I’m not connected to society. I don’t care how the road got built, I don’t care where the firefighter comes from, I don’t care who educates the kids other than my kids. I am me. It’s the triumph of the self. I am me, hear me roar. It’s high time Libertarianism is treated for what it truly is: a childish, sociopathic ideology invented in the halls of academia that has virtually nothing to do with actual human societies. The philosophy has been foisted on the public by billionaires who use the state to enrich themselves but require scared, obedient workers to do the dirty work and accept the ‘natural hierarchy’ of a ‘free society’. The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns, as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with educating and incorporating one generation of workers into the economy after the other when that economy is changing; the idea that the market is going to heed all of the human concerns and still maximise profit is juvenile. It’s a juvenile notion and it’s still being argued in my country passionately and we’re going down the tubes. And it terrifies me because I’m astonished at how comfortable we are in absolving ourselves of what is basically a moral choice. Are we all in this together or are we all not?”

I have been telling people for years that the company behind Pokemon Go had no-shit, for-realsies ties to the CIA and people never really took it that seriously. Anyway.

seeing 'gmm hates morally grey protagonists' in posts complaining about toto's characterization is crazy. the same toto of the b2b scene? in the show that has a homewrecker as second lead? written and directed by jojo, who did a contract killers romcom like two years ago? on the same gmmtv that just finished airing burnout syndrome? can we be a tiny bit serious, please?

frankly, i think it's almost as silly to assume akkiveha hate sex is entirely off the table just because it's gmmtv because, again, this is jojo of the heart killers and only friends fame. if anyone is going to deliver #messy #problematic relationships it's him. and this show set its tone from the very first scene, nothing about it says squeaky clean romance!

like i'm not saying there are no trends in what works gmm favors but jojo is a creator with a very distinctive authorial voice and who's always been given a lot of freedom to follow his vision so trying to judge his work on the basis of whatever other gmmtv bl you most recently disliked is just silly. he's doing something else.
