OK so it's clearly obvious the silver likes black girls... however, do you think the girl on the slave island is his wife? God I hope it's Max!
You know it crossed my mind, the way she was looking at him, and him at her, I was like hmm, and in the book, the wife is described as being a “woman of color” or “african descent” and of course there is the other choice word that the book does say.
And there is the fact even though the writers have stated these characters have fluid sexualities, Max has only been shown being intimate with women, and when she’s with men it was only as a result of her job, and the other time she’s been with men was when she was being raped and beaten, so it’s like, is Silver and Max ever going to come together or…
The thing is, this maroon village is an extension of Mr. Scott’s development and character, so I don’t know if they’ll blend that in with Silver’s, by having him be involved with Mr. Scott’s daughter, and when would Silver and this woman come together again to have a relationship in comparison to Max who lives in Nassau, the same location this show will use till the end of the series. It’s not like Mr. Scott can take or will take the whole village let alone his family back to Nassau, so they can live under England’s rule. I think he’d rather they stay hidden for as long as they can.
And going back to Max, she was confirmed to be black, JPK is light enough where she could play someone white or just be ambiguous, but we got confirmation, her backstory could have easily been having an upbringing that brought her into prostituting, and yet it related to slavery.It has also been stated before that Jessica Parker Kennedy is fourth billed in the series, she is above other actors whose characters are used more than hers. She was a prostitute and now she’s a madame, did Jessica need to be fourth billed for that? Jessica is a great actress, but there are other great actors on this show too, so why is she fourth billed?
Also even though these writers wanted to showcase women at different levels of status and positions, Max is an original character, and as a character she could have easily been a recurring character, she didn’t need to be a main. I love Max, but this series would get to the same end with or without Max, this episode proves that, Max was no where to be seen, and yet it didn’t feel like she needed to be there, you couldn’t say that with the other characters, except Mr. Scott.
Also, let’s not forget what else the book says, both Silver and his wife run an inn, Max wanted to do that. Silver trusts his wife to handle his money, and Silver kind of already did that with Max, especially if we are to believed he lied when he told Flint he gave up his share, I mean, is Mr. Scott’s daughter Madi even familiar with the currency they use. I also believe it was stated in the book that Silver wanted Flint’s treasure so that he and his wife can move and live more comfortably, and I may be reaching here, but it seems similar to Max’s dream of just wanting a home.
Max has had 2 love interests, Eleanor is about to get her third, Flint’s past love was shown, so Silver getting a love interest is not the end all (although if Madi is not the future wife and this is a misdirection, I hope they don’t make Silver seem like a fetishizer). Plus, there’s still the question of why JPK would not even hint at her character’s possible future interactions with Silver.
Edit: The actress who plays Madi is still filming Black Sails which could mean that yeah she is the future wife of Silver, that’s gonna suck for those Flint/Silver fans who think they’re happening this season. This also makes Max’s fate uncertain, she could definitely be one of the characters who don’t make it to the end, who does not get a happy ending, all the while being the most sexually exploited character on the show.
