complaining about 4 & 5 in the tags so don’t read if u love them
#✘; I HAVE SEVENTY TWO EXAMS AND I HAVE NOT STUDIED FOR ONE ( ooc )#ok im going to complain about 4 & 5 for a minute bc i figured out something that bugs me#the battle at the end of AWE isn't just vs. jones and vs. beckett - the entire eitc fleet is there. the connotations that they are making a#final fight against british rule and colonialism as a whole are *there.*#so when the fleet turns around and surrenders that *matters.*#no i don't think that this means that they beat the eitc or that somehow colonialism and imperialism don't exist now#but the eitc has acknowledged the pirates as a threat and this is a fight that's going to be ongoing. just because beckett is dead doesn't m#ean that the company's actions have stopped nor will their hostilities stop. meaning that the pirate lords have a longer war ahead of them#and 4 and 5 just ..... abandon this ???#(yes i know that colonial powers are still present in 4 and 5 as forces)#like ... how can you just ditch the pirate lords and the struggle for freedom from colonial rule for .....#hehe jack has pissed off multiple spaniards in his past and now he's going to be funny#I'M JUST !!! so frustrated they didn't continue telling that story. what i want is flint's war against the world#what i want is elizabeth realizing that her personal quest for vengeance against beckett is rooted in the deeper evils of the eitc's#and britain's power and control over the world – the way they write the narratives and decide who lives and dies.#my gripe with their treatment of elizabeth is a different one but just to say that elizabeth knows she can't return to a world before the#pirate king nor do i believe she'd give up fighting for a better one for her son. she chose war. not a battle. *war*#ANYWAYS tldr i'm pissed off that 4 & 5 gave up on the pirate lords and the eitc because if you were going to continue telling the story you#HAVE TO talk about the eitc. ugh.#also like yeah i know it's a disney movie not black sails but it's *there* you can do it with mermaids and ghost sharks i don't care#( as an addendum nothing is funnier than disney writing the capitalists as the villains in their pirate movies. inchresting choice mouse )
