athos' haunted house return aside, this is legitimately such a horrifying reveal to an extremely fun opening episode set up. 'I am not a prejudiced man,' says the slave trader, 'this is business.' the way he continuously tries to justify it to porthos. horrifying.

#quite frankly all the potc girlies who talk about the slave trade in potc want what this episode has #bc this episode does not leave you to infer anything from a singular line #this episode holds you by the head and forces you to remember that one of the musketeers is black #and that it is not a blind casting decision to ignore it MEANS something to the story #in other news would you be surprised to hear that the fandom was racist as hell #ttm 2014 liveblog #this episode holds you by the head and makes you confront that #people will do a reprehensible and unforgiveable harm and then try to reason and logic and justify their way through it #'if i dont someone else will' says the slave trader. this show is from 2014!!#'society is run by commerce'. jesus christ.#idk this episode hits harder than when i first watched it in light of all the fuckery coming out of america rn
