#love that interview where djenkins talks about how he told Taika to change nothing about how he speaks

I also LOVE how they introduce Blackbeard, sliding from fantasy to legend to reality over TWO whole episodes (and on). Ed's keeping up a façade to the world but also to the viewer. his reputation goes before him. his henchmen go before him. of course it thunders around his ship. dies irae is not coming from the place the light comes from; it's blasting from the sky. he's on screen but he's not showing his face. his first mate stands at attention but slips into familiarity. he orchestrates the conditions he wants. his control is a cage but it affords him privacy. he doesn't show his face until he sees Stede.
