My love for Our Flag Means Death is twofold, really, and I’d like to piece my thoughts together into something coherent.
On the surface, a pirate comedy, it’s fun. The characters are great, the story is interesting, the VFX is a little eh but what can one expect from a show that has probably a tenth of the budget of a Marvel movie? In this regard, it’s great.
On a deeper level, this show has very quickly come to mean a lot to me, and to many other people as well. The reason for this is the diversity and representation.
Contains spoilers
The way the show handles queerness is akin to The Owl House: They are characters who are queer, not queer characters. Their queerness is not their entire identity. And yet this facet of them is respected and affirmed and given the time it needs, without making the show solely about it.
It’s about the simple casualness with which the characters’ queerness is treated. No one bats an eye at Jim using they/them pronouns. Nana immediately catches on and uses them. There’s no forgetting or being confused. It’s simply normal. No one bats an eye at who people are attracted to. Spanish Jackie is casually polyamorous. Jim is casually nonbinary. Stede, Ed, etc. are casually gay. Over half the main cast is queer, and there is not a single traditional “coming out” plotline. No characters agonizing over whether they’ll be accepted, no tearful confessions. If the characters even acknowledge it (as in the case of Jim clarifying that they want to be called Jim), it’s one and done, a simple means of communicating information. Most media with queer characters focuses on coming out or coming to terms with their queer identity (Love, Simon, I think but I’ve never actually read/seen it, Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine). And honestly? It’s exhausting. Just as cishet people like seeing themselves solving crimes in space and falling in love through some cliché romantic plot, queer people want to see themselves doing those same things too, without so much of a focus on coming to terms with a queer identity. And the fact that Our Flag Means Death does this is why I instantly fell in love with it. These queer characters get up to the same shenanigans typical cishet characters do.
On romance in particular, I loved a few things about it. One: the storyline. These characters (Stede and Ed, Lucius and Black Pete, Oluwande and Jim) have simple romantic relationships, not defined by one of them coming to terms with their own queer identity or the romance focusing on them being queer. They get to have their romance fall into classic tropes (Lucius dramatically kissing Black Pete, the montage of Stede and Ed as Stede realizes he’s in love). The characters are simply people in love, and it’s normalized. Two: the clear canonization of those relationships. These aren’t left as subtext or a 2 second clip that could be cut out. Lucius and Black Pete kiss onscreen, as well as call each other affectionate names. Oluwande and Jim kiss and get caught sleeping together. Stede and Ed share an entire confession and kiss scene together, along with multiple conversations prior about their affection for one another (Stede and Calico Jack talking in the forest, Lucius telling Ed to act enthusiastic about the treasure hunt). For Stede and Ed in particular, the show mostly revolves around their relationship. If their relationship is removed, the show falls apart. The romance is embedded into the story, not tossed in for diversity points.
And finally, that this show has queer people played by queer people. Jim’s actor is nonbinary in real life. There were nonbinary writers working on the script. I don’t really know about any of the other characters or crew, but the fact that at least one character is authentically played means a lot as a queer person.
And as a few last notes that don’t exactly fit in with the rest: I loved that Ed is allowed to be vulnerable. The bathtub scene is so well done, and the fact that he is allowed to panic, to be distressed, and not be ridiculed or embarrassed for it but comforted is so, so good. I loved that the crew was racially diverse. I loved that Stede openly encourages the crew to talk out their feelings. I loved that these pirates showed that being strong and crude and rough doesn’t mean that they can’t have moments of weakness, kindness, and softness.
As a queer person, I felt such a unique form of joy watching this and seeing queer characters thrive. These characters brought me to tears because I saw myself, because I shared the actors’ pride in showing people who don’t get the spotlight, in telling stories that don’t get told. Our Flag Means Death is proof that good, proper representation is not only possible but meaningful.
