*inhale* *hold* *looong exhale*
Okay.
I saw the last episode of Our Flag Means Death Season 2.
I’m a writer.
I’m not being mean, I’m not being judgmental. I’m just stating my personal opinion here, nothing else.
The ending for the last episode… could have gone into a different direction. Mainly with Izzy, and the Prince.
First, the Prince. Now, from what I’ve gathered: he was knocked out after everyone was poisoned, then was taken hostage, and then as expected, immediately escaped and shot Izzy while doing so.
… Why was he still armed?
Why wasn’t the gun removed? Why didn’t anyone check over his body, removing all weaponry he still have? It’s one thing to show that he lost, it’s another to be careless when free. And it came with a cost…
Speaking of cost, let’s go to Izzy now!
Now, his death was… I mean…
Okay, so. Season 1, I hated his guts. Season 2 made me start to love him. His death was something I would loved to see first season, but now, it was sad. I did feel sad seeing him go, but… here’s the thing: why have him go now? When he was still in development?
Like, giving a shock moment for the audience is clever, if you do it right.
From what I gathered, Izzy was still healing. He lost his leg, lost his position as First Mate, lost a lot of dignity until, as far as I know, he shot Ed during that storm scene. Now, we get him with a unicorn wooden leg, singing and being open with the crew, actually happy for himself… His death?
Yeah, that was too early.
I read someone’s post that Izzy’s death was planned from the start – and the actor finds out in the middle of shooting (What the hell?!).
Personally for me, if I was a writer in the show in joining debate on who and how a death will happen from the crew, I’d choose Izzy, but I would give him more development beforehand.
He was still healing. He was still adjusting. He was still be happy with himself. It was a position where the audience wasn’t comfortable with the change yet. And by that, I mean they, we, you’re still getting use to this new concept that Izzy was having since the first episode with his breakdown.
It was so new to him that new creations of self-focused goals weren’t made yet. A new lifestyle to try, while still being a pirate. New interests, new ideas, new hobbies – or bringing back old hobbies (that singing threw me off. He. Was. Amazing 🥹).
The writers should have given him more time to really change and for us to change with him. Show us that self-love is just as loving as being in a relationship, mono or poly, straight or queer. And quoting from another post I saw, he would have been more of a symbol to not only the LGBTQ+, but for everyone, especially those who don’t really hold on to the concept of self love.
(Damn. Izzy got rep with me. Amazing… This was lost potential right here.)
The Prince shouldn’t have been armed. If anything he either should have been disarmed, or tortured and “returned” to someone they would let live to send back to his father. Which can also further the plot as we know he is a prince, but we don’t know any single thing about his family. As far as we know, anything could happen through this idea.
Izzy’s death in season 2 was unnecessary. Dying in the last episode of Season 3 would have worked.
We’d be more comfortable, he would have a new lifestyle, he’d be happy… and the death would have been more honorable than it was. And more epic, like in a battlefield, and probably add a few more from the crew to die, too. Giving us a Harry Potter feel, with the number of beloved characters killed during the Battle of Hogwarts.
Like I said, this is just personal opinion on how I saw the show.
Happy for Ed and Stede. Happy for the wedded Pete and Lucius.
It just could have gone better. And deep. And realistic.
Season 3, I will be patient for you until then.

good morning darling, i love you (he’s up early to prepare their date) [ID: This is a four-panels digital illustration of Edward and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. The scene takes place during a bright early morning, some time after they have reunited and made up. In this, Edward is asleep on their bed, sporting a short beard and shirtless, body turned towards the viewer. In the first 2 panels, only Stede's hand is in the frame, gently brushing away a stray lock of hair from Ed’s face and caressing his cheek. In the third panel, Stede appears in the frame, dressed in his nightgown, yellow robe, and sporting a moustache. He leans over to kiss Ed on the cheek. Ed doesn't wake, instead in the fourth panel he smiles dreamily in his sleep. Stede watches him with his own smile, completely besotted. /. End ID]

Honestly what I want more of is Ed embracing his softer side in an awkward way like the breakfast in bed scene 💕

Say what you will about Stede Bonnet, but he is in demand. Blackbeard can't stop touching the stiddies, Prince Ricky gave him the eye at Spanish Jackie's, Anne Bonny climbed in his lap to kiss him sloppy, Hellkat Maggie was giggling and kicking her feet, even Izzy Hands slapped his ass and copped a feel of his thigh.
Ed was right. Everyone DOES want a piece of the Gentleman Pirate
