can i be critical of black sails' writing for a second. for a show thats typically very very good at creating depth for even minor characters, 90% of the black characters are super fucking shallow
#like. mr scott had plenty of depth but then he died. max is super complex but she also has the lightest skin tone.#i couldnt tell you madi's distinguishing personality traits so far she just does everything right. girl where are your character flaws#shes been in the plot about as long as woodes rogers has and i could write a 1500 word essay on him if i gave enough fucks to#but you can summarize her history motivations and personality in like 4 sentences. 6 if you include her relationship with silver#like for one of the 4 most influential figures in the revolution youd expect a little nuance. a character weakness. an ulterior motive or 2.#like it lowkey just feels like theyre gonna kill her off for silvers darkest hour......#and beyond all that the entire population of her town have maybe 5 speaking lines collectively????#like when one of the pirates assaults one of madis men the focus is entirely on the white characters and potential fallout for the alliance.#that dude doesnt even get to speak for himself. because if madi isnt the mouthpiece for all black characters she doesnt have a role.#ok this is turning into the ''madi deserves better writing'' power hour so im gonna shut up now
