Pull! And pull!
In "Red Flags," the ending montage over "Run From Me" is mostly about the mutiny Ed's been trying to provoke, and Ed's crew deciding to kill him. And it's devastating. But the short interpolation of Auntie standing up, resolute and focused, over her map, and Red Flag fleet members pulling ships over land in pre-canal Panama is goosebump city for me every time.
It gets at a whole bunch of stuff about Zheng and her crew very efficiently: the will and the effort and leadership involved in being the pirate queen who conquers China, for one. This brief moment pays off Oluwande thinking that Auntie's map can't mean anything because some of the ships are on land. It very effectively shows how massive the fleet is. It highlights why Zheng was talking about how important cohesion is to the ship's culture. The incongruity of seeing crew members haul those immense ships through a forest track ... it's a few precious beats of awe while most of my heart is still breaking for Ed and his crewmates.
