      @@jocelynnelson246 I've seen him referred to as the embodiment of internalised queerphobia, and while I think he is that, I think it's even more specific. He is one of these gay men who idealise macho hypermasculinity, and who laugh and look down on gay men they see as feminine. "No twinks allowed" kind of men. It's misogyny within the gay community, where anything seen as too woman-like is dismissed as not being gay enough, because, you know, gay men are into men, and not into women or women-like people, or something. This is not only about gayness, it's about his own gender identity as a man attracted to men. Izzy is dismissive of everything soft and tender in Ed, telling him (and it's notable too that it's a white man saying it to a brown man) it is his nature to be brutal and violent, and forcing that yoke of toxic hypermasculinity back down onto him. He is struggling with his own masculinity, and so is projecting it out onto other people's masculinity and in a certain measure onto their gender identity.

      Not to mention he actually believes he doesn't *deserve* any of those "soft" things like gentle fabrics, or tender feelings.
      So he says "That's my own fault for believing anything else. I'm not meant to be happy anyway. Not making that mistake again."
      So he gets rid of everything of Stede in the ship, including Stede's crew. But he can't get rid of the painting, he can't move out of Stede's room, or his ship, and he can't stop using Stede's black carvat around his neck. He cannot just forget about him, but he will try, even if it kills him.

      That would be fabulously accurate! And Jim is still on the ship as well, so they can help one another too!
      But I noticed very quickly that Ed very clearly did NOT reveal the secret closet to Izzy, even if we see the crew taking books from the exact spot where the entrance is!!
      The first thing Ed is shown about that room, in wich he continues to live in, is where the secret closet is! And I am pretty sure he simply didn't have the heart to get rid of it, nor to even open it again, just as he kept the Lighthouse painting, and Stede's black cravat on his neck...
      It's a nice way to physically show that his feelings for Stede are not gone, just locked inside the walls, but Ed still can't ignore them completely.

    @collinw9934 2 года назад +19

    It's the most interesting scene character wise. At the heart of the issue is Edward's relationship with Izzy. Edward doesn't completely like Izzy. He thinks his first mate can be a bit of a killjoy and a dick, but there's still an undeniable connection between them. And when you consider Izzy's loyalty to Blackbeard, because Izzy practically worships him, AND when you realize how Ed was emotionally lonely for most of his life, it makes sense the two would form a close relationship. It's not a friendship (at least not a good one), and in many ways their dynamic is painful and harmful to each individual. However, Edward comes to rely on Izzy for the simple matter of Izzy's availability to him, and Izzy is able to exert his most powerful influence over Ed when Edward is most vulnerable. Blackbeard isn't Edward. Blackbeard CAN'T be Edward, otherwise Izzy will abandon him. Edward was heartbroken after his Breakup with Stede, but he doesn't need to worry about such problems when he's Blackbeard. All the pressure on Ed creates a great influence on him, to the point where his choice of self belief goes as far to abandon the pain of his heartbreak entirely. He is the Kraken, but he's also a sniveling little boy. It's a tragic tale of the power of self perception, and what we're capable of doing to ourselves when we're truly at rock bottom.

    I blame Izzy for Ed turning back to Blackbeard. Ed was in the process of healing when he was around the crew. He had Lucius write down lyrics he wrote and cried in front of him and Lucius honestly tried to comfort him. He sang his song in front of everyone and nobody insulted him and they cheered. Izzy told Ed he should of let the English kill him, that he's weak for being in pain, and that he doesn't give a shit about Edward (an actual person) and that he only serves Blackbeard (a fabricated image that Ed makes explicity clear makes him miserable and he wants to escape that life). The last shot of Ed in the show is him crying alone in an empty room and Izzy is probably smiling about next door. Stede hurt him but he only planted the seed. Izzy watered it and made his pain grow. He's horrible and I don't know how anyone can like or defend him.

    • @alexskelton4150
      @alexskelton4150 9 месяцев назад +1

      Blackbeard chose to murder Lucius, and though Izzy might have enjoyed having his toe cut off, he did not consent to it. The story has led you to identify with an abuser, and blame the abused. If Izzy were a woman, this would be extremely obvious textbook misogyny.
      The pressure on men to perform toxic masculinity does not come from their abused partners. It generally comes more broadly from their environment. We lose out on this aspect of realism so we can keep the crew sympathetic, so all of this characterisation of a pressure to act more masculine falls on one character: Izzy.
      It's Izzy's fault, because he's too masochistic 🙄. Edward needs to be sympathetic, the crew needs to be sympathetic, but we want to have this hot scene where a guy gets his toe cut off, so it needs to be the victim's fault.
      I think this is problematic writing, but I overlook it because this is the hottest thing ive ever watched.

    I know we all need lucius to be alive and I believe he is, but the significant of his apparant death is insane.
    Izzy Hands had truly wanted him dead throughout the show but can't really go through with it without everyone else's approval. Lucius mocks even the idea that Izzy could kill him.
    The Kraken, though? He knows Lucius is beloved and that killing him could risk mutiny but Ed is so self destructive at this point he does it anyway without care. He is the real deal, an actual pirate, and loathing every bit of it. Ed is a sad man, but a truly dangerous sad man.

      @n.y.174 2 года назад +3

      I do love Izzy and I think it's funny that we have to keep pointing out that it's okay to like/love toxic characters and what they contribute to the story.
      It's obvious that Izzy has feelings for Blackbeard. He completely fell for the dangerous persona Ed was living as and wishes he was still that guy. I think Izzy got off on being the right-hand man of the world's most famous and feared pirate. It gave him power and a sense of self-worth.
      At the same time he wants to be the only one who knows Ed and the only one to address him as Edward. I think he wants that intimacy.
      Then he has to watch Ed show his real self to Stede and then to Stede's whole crew. Izzy is obviously jealous that soft Ed is no longer a secret only he knows. And there's less Blackbeard so Izzy isn't getting that high from working on behalf of a powerful man.
      He is angry and deeply repressed. I think it frustrated him to see how easy things are between Edward and Stede. He def took his frustration out on Lucius. He was most likely jealous of him too and how free and open Lucius is about his sexuality.
      So yeah. Izzy adds a richness to the story and I think it's great. Will he redeemed? Will his own repressed emotions be his downfall?

    • @wassupheinz
      @wassupheinz 2 года назад +3

      @@n.y.174 honestly?? I hope he doesn’t redeem. I hate when toxic characters do that. Sure, it’s great to become a great person at the end of it, it’s great to teach a morale, but I think that in some context it just completely changes a character’s personality. Izzy was gonna kill Stede. He might have missed the important bits, but if Ed hadn’t taught Stede how to do that, Izzy would have killed him. He went out of his way to ally with the English navy and kill Stede FOR A SECOND TIME. I don’t think he can ever accept that Stede is good for Ed, and if David Jenkins changed that, all his character would lose its meaning.
      Instead I would love more info about his past. What caused him to be like this and all that.
      Anyway, I agree with you. We love toxic character because they add so much to the story.
      We’re all angsty bitches deep down.

    So, I was looking up the name Lucius and it means light. And Lucius has the been the source of light onboard, helping Stede with his feelings and the rest of the crew clearly care about him a lot. And he was the one most likely to help Ed deal with his heartbreak, until Izzy pushed him over the edge and goes back to being Blackbeard again. And after Lucius seemingly dies (not!) there’s a clear lack of light and happiness on the Revenge.
    So, I guess what I’m saying is, he snuffed out the light? 🕯🗡
