After all the hype this show has got over the past few months I decided to look it up and was pretty taken aback because it was categorized as a romantic comedy. I watched the first episode and thought, well this is the funniest shit Ive ever seen, how is this romantic? Then I binged the whole show, got to episode 10 and thought, this is the most heartbreaking shit Ive ever seen, how is this a comedy?
I was told to watch OFMD without being told *anything* but “it’s so funny” and “you’ll love it” and as a GenX person who isn’t used to seeing non-tragic queer love just SHOWN outright, I was utterly floored. (I go into a lot more detail in our Pride episode, which was going to be about queer pirates even before we knew OFMD was a thing!) OFMD has my heart in a way that few shows ever have.
Since season 1 wasn't strict with realism and the little hint we got for what's coming next, I hope season 2 really does have some sort of mermaid storyline cause of the two mermaid skeletons in the pirate flag, I'm a sucker for pirates and sirens
Ooooo I would love something like that!! I have full faith in the team to be able to pull something wacky off like that and for it to still work! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and watching this video!! ☠️💙
this show is so wonderfully made! i’m so glad my friend made me watch it. as a non binary person, the representation with jim made me so so happy!! the way the crew accepted them and addressed them how they wanted made me smile :) very excited for season 2
Just because I don't see anyone talk about this in comments: The name Our Flag Means Death seems kind of like a weird name at first glance. But so much of the story is about the underlying metaphor. Our Flag Means Death seems like an obvious but unfitting title, like yeah, pirate flags are meant to advertise that the pirates will kill you, but what does that have to do with the plot of the show? Well, symbols of skulls and cross bones were originally christian symbolism. They're called memento mori. Latin for 'remember you will die'. It's a reminder that everyone dies and must face god, so be a good christian. That's why some old tomb stones have the skull and/or crossbones. But I think the symbolism in this show is implying basically yolo. We're all going to die, and pirates die young, might as well be happy while you can be.
Idk where else to put this so im putting it here. I knew nothing about it going in. I thought "funny pirate show, I'll check it out". I knew Blackbeard&crew would rescue the Krew, by "You wear fine things well" I KNEW it was a romance. I didn't even consider queerbait while watching. It wasn't until I became an Internet fan of the show that I saw just how many people didn't believe it was real, main character romance, canonly gay due to oodles of media and we've been burnt before with superwholock so it makes sense why this is as big of a deal as it is. I fr didn't even consider Gentlebeard NOT being a romance.
❤❤ it is an amazing Show season 2 is so amazing. It's far surpasses a lot of the shows that I'm watching today... and that is my most favorite ride alongside Roswell New Mexico 2019 both shows are awesome when it comes to representation on color and lgbtq. They both deal with queer story lines amazingly the inclusivity and the you don't have to live like that message is spelled through both shows.❤❤ thank you for the review it was great thumbs up.
