also people in the notes of these bs/ofmd polls being like "they're too different in tone and narrative style to compare! apples and oranges" I used to be like you and in general I agree. we can enjoy them both for very different reasons. however. there is an obvious answer to which one is the Better Piece Of Television as in better crafted and executed in all the areas that matter to televisual storytelling (writing, cinematography, editing, production design, scoring, etc) and it's black sails. no contest. toby stephens died so rhys darby could flop around

#only thing ofmd is winning on is the soundtrack because black sails hardly sourced any music #and even then. they both used avalanche

watching black sails now. sorry for being immediately insanely annoying but the opening title card is interesting, saying that all “civilised states” declared war on pirates. which is technically true! but only because Britain and other imperial powers entered into formal agreements with private companies to protect them from piracy, which before that point piracy benefited those empires because pirates would plunder ships and bring the goods back to Britain and Europe. “pirate” became a constructed class of criminal as a result of states nationalising (and therefore monopolising) violence as a state tool of regulating commerce

#black sails lb #< blacklist that if you want #source for this is mark neocleous’ 2003 article off the map. it’s rly good #I don’t know too much about pirates so this obviously generalising #anyway this isn’t even a criticism of the show I just like talking to myself publicly #oh well I guess aside from use of civilised. but that’s not surprising lol

Reading some of the critiques of pjotv and now I know why y’all are on tumblr and not in the writer’s room 💀💀

#ive said this before but i have to say it again because some of you guys … #calling the BLACK SAILS writers bad 😭😭 do you hear yourselves #all opinions are valid but some are stupid!!! #(i kid but also i think y’all have just aged out of pjo and are expecting something that even the og series was not delivering) #like the source material is middle grade! which is 8-12 year olds #literally the oldest of the target audience is a seventh grader lol #like i was literally six when we got assigned tlt in school #it’s a kids book and a kids show and y’all really got to start treating it like that #otherwise you’re only going to be severely disappointed #(and wrongly so because you’re expectations are skewed from years of fandom) #anyway i think the show is doing a great job of filling in plot holes and fleshing out characters and unraveling plot threads #it’s disappointing that y’all can’t see that because you want a scene by scene copy paste of the books #like some of y’all need a lesson in thematic cohesion and building a multi-season show with a specific overarching theme and message lol #because that’s something the og book series was missing #rick struggled to tie all of his ideas and messages into a cohesive goal so it felt messy at times #i actually have so many thoughts about how the show is doing a lot better than the books #the books would undermine their own goals sometimes because of the focus on action #while the show is reallying building up the characters and exploring the dynamics before the action kicks off #because why would you be invested in any type of action sequence if you don’t care about the characters? #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #sally jackson #gabe ugliano #poseidon #percy jackson and the olympians #pjotv

SUMMARIES UNDER THE CUT!

[LEFT] X. (2.02) — A member of the Walrus crew unexpectedly returns, but finds himself cruelly tethered down on a beach. Flint, still stuck in the bowels of the ship, sets his plan in motion to become a captain in two days' time by offering advice to Dufresne on a certain route to navigate the galleon through. Meanwhile, Silver tries to make himself indispensable to his crewmates by reading them gossip that the quiet cook Randall witnesses daily aboard the ship. Meeks asks Eleanor to dispose of his captain, Ned Low since his unquenchable thirst for power is causing the crew to be reckless. After Jack learns about the intimate encounter between Max and Anne, he accepts it and later proposes his next money-making scheme with them.

[RIGHT] XVIII. (2.10) — In Charles Town, the day of Captain Flint's trial comes. Lord Ashe offers him a chance to avoid humiliation, but Flint declines, still bitter at Ashe for Mrs. Barlow's death. However, help for Flint arrives in the unlikeliest form: Charles Vane. Vane's men launch their attack on the city, and Flint and Vane fight their way out, with Flint murdering Ashe en route. They reach the ship to find Flint's crew have regained leadership, but Flint orders Vane's crew be released - realizing pirates have to unite against the rest of the world. Silver, after being tortured, is forced to have his leg amputated. When he finally awakens, he reveals that the spy they hired to watch the Spanish soldiers sold the location to Jack, but he leaves out his own part in the exchange. The ending scene shows Max celebrating Jack's success at bringing the treasure back to Nassau.

in Interview with the Pirate, an older Jim Hawkins tracks down an ageing John Silver to conduct research on a book he’s writing. they meet in a tavern and over the course of several sessions, Jim learns more and more about the so-called golden age of piracy and the rise of the dread captain flint. silver has trouble remembering things clearly since he’s getting so old, which is what he tells Jim. max owns the tavern btw.

#iwtv 2022 #interview with the vampire #black sails #Jim: was there really daylight between you two that day mr silver? #Unreliable narrator John silver #A black sails sequel formatted in this way will make me go insane because what is true and what is not true #The book goes on to be the main source of info on pirates btw…all from a fake fictional pirate

babygirl, i can ignore character deaths you haven't even heard of

#if i find it narratively cheap or inconvenient to me that shit didnt happen #i can and will wrap myself in levels of delusion to the point where i am in fact more correct than the source material #see: lucy stillman subject 16 and desmond miles #also black sails charles vane lmfaoooo #i still think it's hilarious that i ignored vaas montenegros death for so long it became UNCANON BY DLC LMFAOOOOO #i manifested that

[clitfisto]

argument scene is. a lot.

#genuinely just paused and sat there with my face in my hands for a full minute processing #cause the worst part is flint understands....he completely understands and he couldnt expect silver to do anything else.......... #earlier in the season silver asked if he would trade the war to have thomas back and he didnt answer. He didn't answer. #theyre both right and they both know theyre both right and thats the worst fucking part #mostly irrelevant side point Flint is in love with silver. I fully believe this in my heart. #they both know it and they both know its unreciprocated source im omnicient #black sails lb #christ. Christ. #bs

Hot tip: The best way to get me to not want to watch or read something is to do the thing where you go "Well, you know this classic story you love and means a lot to you? Well this is like that but BETTER!"

#I'm specifically talking about a post I saw about Black Sails #A show I know I would enjoy #But then I saw a post that was like ''It's a Treasure Island prequel'' #And I was still in #But the post continued #''But injects so much more depth into the source material than it deserves'' #Go fuck yourself actually #Anyway it's not just that #a LOT of things do that #A lot of really awful fairy tale retellings #Alice in Wonderland retellings #Myth retellings #And I hate them on principle no matter how good they may be individually #And sometimes the MARKETING does it even when the story itself doesn't actually
