What if Crowley was a feared pirate and Edward Teach was a wily demon?

GOD the cinematography of OFMD is absolutely mental

It starts off with everything being very bright and colorful, so while Stede DOES stand out with his outlandish outfits, he looks like he BELONGS to the world, while Blackbeard in his leather all black outfit sticks out like a sore thumb

Then, slowly, the whole world becomes dull, and as Ed transitions to wearing neutral tones, he's the one that blends into the background. Meanwhile Stede is SATURATED still, making HIM stand out

And in the last shot, when they're in their respective proper outfits, everything is bright and the contrast is high, meaning that both Stede's colorful outfit and Ed's black one can fit into the background without out-weighing each-other

It's always a tug of war with them down to their very designs

Okay... I finished OFMD S2...

And yeah, as much as it breaks my heart, this season disappointed me in so many different ways. There are a few things I absolutely adored, but a lot of it felt like a disservice to a lot of the work S1 did to establish the universe and its characters.

Oluwande gave Stede advice like one whole time this season, even though that was a big part of the first. Him consistently being supportive was such a light, and it was pretty much replaced with him just being generally bubbly (and I fucking loved watching him be bubbly and joyful, might I add, but it's different).

Jim's complicated relationship with the idea of taking vengeance wasn't brought up at all. Jim's relationship with Oluwande was absolutely shifted, even now, I cannot watch S1 with the knowledge that they're going to be played off as "best friends who hooked up once" and see it, they HAD to have been intended as an endgame couple in the beginning.

Frenchie didn't sing even once, despite the fact that the very first scene opens to his voice! Frenchie as a character was shrunken a ton, in general. Ed leaned on him a lot in S1, that was gone. Wee John was shown as his best friend, but how many words did they even exchange this season? They let him do another grift, but it didn't include Oluwande so (personally) it felt cheapened.

Wee John didn't make a single fucking joke about fire! Even though there was a lot of fire this season, and he made like three separate comments about arson in the previous one?!?!?! And, again, he barely even talks to Frenchie at all!

The Swede was benched for half the episodes, Buttons became a bird halfway through and possibly won't be coming back at all, Ivan was killed off with a one-liner, and Izzy died as a completely backwards version of himself that we were given almost no show of him transitioning into.

Izzy, who practically stole a bunch of other character's "moments" while they rushed through his redemption so they could kill him at the end and hope they got everyone attached to him enough to care. Izzy got to sing, Izzy got to play advisor to Stede, Izzy got to do drag with John, Izzy whittled a gift for Lucius instead of Pete, Izzy pretty much interrupted every single scene Gentlebeard had... It's just... frustrating.

Season 1 was revolutionary to me, but Season 2 just felt far more average in comparison. I don't know, I was so excited, and rewatching season 1 is still exhilarating, but season 2 just doesn't do as much for me. I really feel like it was the wrong choice to spend as much time as they did with Izzy when they still skipped almost the entirety of his "redemption," condense so many of the other characters to make for time, but still make sure we could fit in some incredible jokes.

One of the only things that didn't change for me, was the humor.

But about half of my favorite things just didn't exist these last 8 episodes, so I need to go drown myself in some fanfics.

I think Blackbeard (OFMD) and King Richard (Galavant) would get along well

Ed would be ALL ABOUT Tad Cooper and just know that he’s a dragon from the start and Richard would just be glad to have another buddy

I’m more active on Twitter. (Penemues_Quill) Plus I get to post the naughty stuff there. Izzy is a yappy little pup who just needs some tough love. <3
