Character development continues at a deeply moving pace. Taika Waititi's performance as Blackbeard is so dark, funny, disturbing, clever, pensive and every range of emotion you can imagine. He's dialed in completely as the Kraken Blackbeard mourning the loss of his love interest while pushing for his own demise. Meanwhile life on the Red Flags led by Rubio Quan's character Zheng is a more peaceful and organized pirate ship where the crew enjoys soup, jobs, and meditation practices. Con O'Neill is such a premier actor and his portrayal of Izzy has been great from the start of the series, and continues to shine in a role that has so much darkness and depth. Frenchie is played by Joel Fry is also balancing his loyalty to Blackbeard while harboring Izzy down below directly against the captain's orders. Blackbeard spirals downward until an ending where he is doing everything he can to end his life by forcing the crew to destroy him. The soundtrack coincides perfectly with the action leaving every viewer in a state of complete frenzy at the end.
