The Best Revenge Is Dressing Well
8 July 2023
Blackbeard (Taika Waititi) and Izzy Hands show the Revenge crew how to behave like real pirates when they take over a French merchant ship.

A real eye opener for Captain Stede. He wanted to steal some new books but does so by replacing them with the books he read.

In return Captain Stede teaches Blackbeard to behave like a gentleman. The subtle art of using the right cutlery at a dinner party.

The etiquette lessons are put to use. Blackbeard, Frenchie, Oluwande and Stede gatecrash a French aristocratic dinner party. Stede introduces himself as Sir Godfrey Thornrose.

Only Blackbeard struggles to keep it together while eating dinner.

Meanwhile Frenchie and Oluwande get rich by scamming the aristocrats. Stede sets about humiliating the snooty inbreds.

It is now that Our Flag Means Death has really set sail. There is good bonhomie between the cast. It was noticeable that the crew were cut down here, in order for the story to flow.

I guess Blackbeard wants to act like a gentleman as his plan is to take over Stede's identity.
