This makes me appreciate Taika's acting even more. His face was so goddamned expressive and he didn't even use half of it! Unreal

@TS-bwey 2 жыл бұрын

I did notice that he really relied on his eyes to express emotions and it kind of helped tie in to the cool mystery of Blackbeard at first. Like he came across as seeming bemused by everything Stede did bc he wasn't showing a lot of lower facial expressions.

I think it was an excellent idea to have two actors who know each other and like each other play strangers just meeting. Bc then onscreen, the easy chemistry and knowing each other from a long time comes off as an instant connection between two strangers. It worked perfectly for Stede and Blackbeard bc now you have two people who shouldn’t mesh well become basically friends within the first few minutes of each other. Suddenly these two strangers have this special connection that leaves the other characters scratching their heads to how in the world it happened. (Spoilers) and also makes it believable that they could fall in love so quickly

@noahatlas5240 2 жыл бұрын

I so appreciate their easy and flexible masculinity. Kissing your buddy? Just another day at work. I love that it's not even a thing they necessarily talk about much. Just what you do as an actor. And also, they're so easy with each other, it's not even much to think about at all. Seeing yourself reflected as a queer person in media... man. It does something to your heart

hearing david describe how he wants the show to build on itself and be truly heartfelt and meaningful while also being funny just warms my heart. that’s exactly how i feel about TV as well so it’s amazing to see that there’s a creator out there making the exact sort of stuff that i feel the industry has been missing. this show is probably the best i’ve ever seen, no joke.

the funny part is if he had said boat it would not have narrowed down what the shot was. I guess we could assume that meant stede went back to sea but that's not exactly shocking.

@heartpng 2 жыл бұрын

7:15 With hindsight I'm pretty sure they're talking about when Stede takes a rowboat to get back to Edward at the end! Taika sounds like he's stopping himself from saying he helped Rhys into the boat.
