I never noticed until watching this that when Flint kills Gates he says "This is not what I wanted" and Silver says the exact same thing as he points his pistol at Flint at the end of the show. Truly masterful!

[@heyskipj]

I never noticed how they hanged on Flint looking at himself in the telescope upside down. The reflection. Introspection. So good.

[@chrisleggatt3240]

Shhhhhhhh, don't spoil it for the new ones...... 🤫😉

[@TheArtOfSubconscious]

it's also what lord peter ashe said to flint when miranda got killed

[@hibbidyjibbidyy]

nice catch. flint dodn not have to kill gates, he was murduring ehat was left of his humanity,,,,and gates. gates biggest mistake was getting his apprentice, billy involved with flint

[@hibbidyjibbidyy]

i have had apprentices, you have to teach them well

[@azathoth528]

what I love about Black Sails is that all the characters can be the best or worst version of themselves, depending on the circumstances or if their interests are assured. They are all heroes and villains

[@Genericwhitemale_]

I only found and watched this show earlier this year. It should be a war crime that it hasn’t gotten as much recognition as it deserves. Masterpiece of a series, on my second watch through

[@suerose7479]

Flint a complicated and tortured character, what a wonderful portrayal ❤

[@krish3101]

A villain? Yes, in certain points along the timeline. He was many things...but the true villains were the ones that set the circumstances for his path. To witness those you love be imprisoned or killed and you might become an unimaginable monster as well, in the eyes that fear and oppose you.

[@ggsplinter]

Very well put. 👏

[@connormcleod9595]

One of the great underrated shows.. Ever

[@ZF88]

Genuinely think he’s one of the best written characters in screen history and it was only because of a C list cast that Toby Stephens’ absolute masterclass performance didn’t get global acclaim. Astonishing acting. Day Lewis calibre for sure.

[@asameer16]

This C list cast performed better than most so called A listers.

[@haki4066]

@@asameer16 True, rather insulting to refer to them as C cast, they are all phenomenal

[@reneejett6509]

​@@haki4066feel like it's accurate though. They were C list, not as well known, so it didn't get as much attention. It's not saying they're bad actors, just that they're lesser known than someone like Robert Downey Jr.

Only a true art lover can put so much soul into a 9 minute video!

[@JSFilms4K]

Thanks man! I’m glad you appreciate how much effort went into this :)

[@Maddogg2001]

I fucking love this vid. It captures the true character of flint. I have watched an anime called Vinland saga and the character Askelad reminds of flint.

[@onslajoueqc]

I should get a shirt that reads Ready the guns. Full complement.

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

Best show and best characters ever written 🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠

[@Indigo_snakes]

I’m rewatching this and crying again… truly this show is probably my favorite piece of art, and what a tribute this is to it! Thank you so, so much for all the effort that went into this, and for all the emotions you infused in it ❤️

[@fiekieX]

Captain Flint is probably the most well written character in fiction

[@mknees1467]

Ah yes, the best written character I've ever seen on the t.v. Nice video!

[@ec4020]

Captain Flint definitely shivers my timbers, the most masculine sexy man/character I've ever seen. This video is an amazing tribute, thank you.

[@emogamer96]

I'm not gay. But I completely agree with your statement.

[@jamesflint9908]

A Black Sails tribute I haven’t seen yet, truly a miracle, I love it

[@robnewman6101]

A Tragedy Period!

[@jamesflint9908]

@@robnewman6101 what…?

[@andrewgrieve1564]

My friend, all I can say is thank you. Very few people have been fortunate enough to find this show; a show that doesn't get worse every season like all its competitors, but 2x better. You did it justice, and explained to a t why Flint is the best written and acted character to date in the last decade of TV. The people who know this show shall be the people who knew great TV, and as such I hope something comes close to this for the sake of us all. Best show I've ever seen bar none. Thank you Black Sails

[@gman9002]

BEST SHOW EVER MADE ALONG WITH SPARTACUS

[@chrisleggatt3240]

THIS, is how to do modern storytelling. MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!

[@reignkaida]

I’m just glad this show was able to run its course it was great!!!

[@captain4318]

Beautiful edit for a magnificent show! Captain Flint is one of my all time favorite TV characters.

[@BoonkyEdits]

WOW! This is characther study on Captain Flint is an absolute masterpiece! I love how detailed and complex this feels, just as his character. The music of choice is perfect for him, it feels organic to the sides of Flint's psychology. I can imagine how much work has taken you to make this edit, my brother; You must be proud of this project. Huge congratulations to you! p.s. I hope you make more edits on Black Sails someday ;)

[@JSFilms4K]

It’s always a pleasure to get comments from you man I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I still have two unfinished black sails character projects that i started alongside this one which i plan to finish some day. the show is a damn masterpiece

[@skyofuntamedfire]

Such an incredible tribute to a great character, you nailed it!!!!! 🥺👌👌👌👌👌

[@JSFilms4K]

Thank you! Your words are very much appreciated :)

[@janiz2871]

Amazing video! Good to see new Black Sails tribute!

[@JSFilms4K]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@tetma18]

I'd argue that Flint is more of an anti-hero rather than a villain. Somewhat similar to V in V for Vendetta.

[@ingvarrvargard]

Hell, it's a master work! I defenitely love it. Many things I dindn't do right in my Flint video you did just awesome here (:

[@JSFilms4K]

Nice to see you here dude! I remember watching your videos on Flint and Vane straight after I finished the show! Glad you liked it :)

[@3osa16]

What a tribute! Masterful, Hope you make more Flint videos

[@JSFilms4K]

Thanks! I definitely plan on making more videos on Black Sails in the future :)

[@naomitiefenbrunn2857]

THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE i can't tell you how magnificent i find this. impeccable job. crying rn

[@HA-cj6er]

For me your best one , black sails one of the most underrated shows of the 2010s , may have been put to the bottom of the list because of shows like got , twd and many other massive ones where in there peak and full throttle . Action , dialogue was Great.

[@JSFilms4K]

Thank you my friend, I most certainly agree it is extremely underrated. Glad you enjoyed

[@FelixstoweFoamForge]

Deeply disturbed lad, our Jimmy Flint. Great complilation.

8:26 Shit, I didn't realize the parallelism, brilliant

[@JSFilms4K]

Thanks dude :) glad you liked it

[@Teddy-zr8yv]

@@JSFilms4K wonderful work friend, there is also a certain parallelism of that time in the first episode when flint tries to convince billy ... and now he does it with silver but fails

Best tribute there is, excellent choice of music and clips!

[@gingeroverseer9302]

I adore Black Sails but having just finished The Strain I cant help but wonder at Quinlans play to become an English politician and then retire to a plantation for a bit. Good for him.

[@hatn2daggers1697]

Hell Fire! This is just jaw dropping, I felt totally stunned and very emotional at the end. 😍😢. You have created an amazing tribute here. One that grabbed my by the heart and throat at the same time. You have found the very essence of Flint and released him on the World once more. I've had to watch this through three times it's so good. 💖 🏴‍☠️🖤

[@JSFilms4K]

Thank you so much

on my 3rd time watching BS Flints Character is so hard to navigate

[@joshuascott3428]

This is how you do a sympathetic villain, yes he is a evil man , and yes he is also brave and downright understandable .

المسلسل رائع لكن مشاهد الشذوذ انزلت من قيمة المسلسل
