So proud of Buttons he fucking did it

Okay but can we please talk about how beautifully crafted are the final scenes of each episode in this season?

I'm gonna talk mostly about episode 4, but I need to praise the other ones as well. For real, the way the first three episodes end is just... pure poetry. Blackbeard's speech about the bird that spends its entire existence in the air? His crushing delivery and the way he fails to hide his emotions behind his mask anymore? The "Fuck you, Stede Bonnet"/"Good night, Ed Teach" tranistion? Poetic cinema!

The second episode with the storm scene is one of my favourite scenes in the entire show. The slow motion and the song are perfect and I thought that it was so God damned beautifully shot! And Ed's "finally" was perfect, that showed us that it was his plan all along to get the crew to hate him so much that they end him.

I don't even know what to say about the ending of ep 3 that hasn't already been said, the song choice and Stede talking to Ed and bringing him back to life was amazing AND THAT LAST SHOT OF ED TAKING STEDE'S HAND WAS PURE PERFECTION!

All of the final scenes are incredible, the end of episode 5 being yet another favourite of mine, I literally melt every time I see the thumb war! But the ending that really stood out for me was episode 4! First of all, that was a solid and amazing episode as a whole, but the symbolism of "People don't change. Not into birds or otherwise" but then!! Buttons turns into a seagull, and we can see in Ed's reaction that he is somehow filled with hope, hope that people *can* change. And just like that, as if on cue, Stede comes back for him, unlike he did in season 1, when he left him waiting. The song! Them running excitedly towards the ship and towards a future together!!

And back on the ship, Izzy smiling genuinely for the first time in the show! That last shot, with Izzy standing as a figurehead to the Revenge ship *and* to the revenge crew. He is their unicorn now, their protector, and so buttons flies off, showing once again that people *can* change, showing us that Izzy embraces his own change, and that he embraces this new life as a protector of the crew, and maybe he embraces feeling loved by the crew finally. We can see his reluctance when Fang embraced him in episode 1, but from this moment on, he never turns away from affection and we see it in future episodes as well.

THIS SHOW, I SWEAR.
