omg I have the same question. I have an obsession with this scene and I can't sleep until I watch it at least once.. this is so painful but I can't stop watching it

Some thoughts: -Ed had been starting to heal from the heart break because he was able to openly talk about his feelings with the crew and it led to finding positive outlets and bonding activities. We even see him cleaning up his depression mess right before Izzy's words drag him back into his hurt. So now that he has to be "Blackbeard" publicly all the time, there is no one he can share his feelings with and he has to bury it all inside until he is alone. -Lighthouses have been associated with Stede all throughout the show, he and Mary were told to be lighthouses to each other in other to guide each other's life. Ed points out a less positive interpretation, that lighthouses are something you are meant to stay away from lest you crash on the rocks of the shore. So it's easy to see that he may Stede as his lighthouse in both the positive and negative sense.

@@Floweramon love your analysis

I think at least partially because male protagonists in film and TV are so rarely allowed to openly grieve and cry on screen beyond glassy eyes or one noble tear, especially swashbuckling adventure types. Especially over something so "weak" / sentimental / low-stakes as rejected love. And Taika acts it so well. The cinematography helps too. He's only partially illuminated, much like the lighthouse's light is dangerously small or limited. His posture with his legs pulled up, trying to protect himself. And compared to the previous outside shots of him in "Kraken" mode, it shows he's still vulnerable and human when he's alone. There's still part of him that hopefully Stede can reach in this upcoming season.

I feel you on that one. For me it's how deep his pain is. It's not a small, holding it in cry, it's not loud sobs, it's this deep pain pouring out of this man. It's both so sad and so beautiful. 😢❤

I cried on that scene! 😂❤

Yeah...

There's a scene when he says he's scared of spiders so he got a spider tattoo on his hand thinking it'd cure that but every time he sees it he freaks out so that's why he wears the gloves lol😂

​@@grimmandtonicsyeah he was talking to the rabbit in S2 😂

@@grimmandtonics He is too silly lmfao

​@@eventerkeirawhat do you mean? It was clearly a wolf XD XD

A very empathic soul right there.

Someone on twitter pointed out how Stede thought of that moment when he was realizing he was in love with Ed, and said "mark me down as scared and horny" 😂

I feel like the whole dam fandom will 💀💀💀

​@@The-Busy-Beeeeemake him walk the plank!

Between this show and Good Omens Season Two, I'm a touch homicidal myself, and I call for both fandoms to combine in a class action suit against Jenkins and Neil Gaiman for emotional distress!

“Oh my goD 😟😟”

That whole part was apparently improv and it’s hysterical 😂

​@@ashessakura7518now that you say it, it does sound like an improv scene

That's me

oh and also, THE CLOSE UP Ed did? LIKE THEY LITERALLY ALMOST KISSED AND THAT DRIVES ME INSAAAAANE LIKE SIR YOU BARELY KNOW HIM AND ALREADY WANTS TO KISS HIM?!??!?!?!?!??? WHAT IS THIS SHOW.

Best show on now, pure genius /hilarious!

Oh God, did they use Debussy because bussy is gay slang for ass OMG I AM A HEATHEN

I bought one month of hbo max just to watch this show and I rewatched it until the last day I had the subscription. Dude. Watch it you will be addicted.

I did the same, just watched compliations before. Then got HBO and I told myself I'll watch 1 or 2 episodes maybe. YO I literally ended up binging all episodes in one go . It's just THAT good. So so good. I can't emphasize this enough

Same here

the venn diagram between these fandoms is a circle

😯😯😯 Oh my days I couldn't work out what it was. My heart 😢 Thank you for pointing this out!

Omg I thought he was eating the candle 😭

definitely do not pirate it from hdmoviebox…

@@squarefrog7932 luckily we have the series here now!

@@jazz240765 I binged the whole thing the second it hit BBC iPlayer XD

SPOILER ALERT Basically, in the final episode of season 1, Stede Bonnet returns home after having abandoned his wife and children to be on the sea. To Stede's horror, he finds out that his wife, Mary, has been sleeping with her art instructor, Paul, while he's been away. At one of Mary's art showings, Stede shows up drunk and causes a scene. Paul kindly tries to subdue him, but (using the pirate aggression that Blackbeard taught him while at sea) Stede ends up pulling a knife on him. He almost immediately snaps out of his drunken rage quickly apologizes to Paul.

@@MagentaCartherWrites Oh thank you very much for the explanation! I appreciate it😁
