Men in these waters are hard men. They don’t fear ships. They don’t fear guns. They don’t fear swords.
Then what do they fear?
#this was by far THE most badass scene i’ve ever laid my eyes on#and i mean THE MOST BADASS HOLY SHIT I WILL NEVER BE OVER IT#this here is flint’s true cunning intellect and ruthlessness at full power and it is TERRIFYING#‘they don’t fear ships or guns or swords’ !! the fact that he’s made himself /bigger/ than all those things..#bigger than DEATH… is truly impressive#that silent heavy “ME!” as he slowly turns at silver’s question is what alone gives me chills#but then he actually SNEERS as the scene before him turns into complete fcking CARNAGE#the /pride/ and satisfaction that radiates off him as he watches his mindless puppets rush off into their death#this
wasn’t just to humiliate dufresne or to take back his command. no he
lead these men into a trap bc they had the nerve to betray HIM#and as a lesson he let half of them die before he jumped in as their savior.. how fucked up is that#he did it in such a clever and devious way that no one BUT dufresne realized it.. and by that point it was already too late#lmao they actually voted him back into his station after this#and GOD THIS IS JUST !!!!#it was ruthless. it was cunning. and it was what silver learned from /him/#point is – flint is NEVER to be underestimated. not in this scene and not now with silver by his side with the matching power#never doubt his ability to be 3 steps ahead of everyone. if he is to be beaten it will be because he chose to be#because he let someone get close and walk in step with him#otherwise he could convince people he’s the mf queen of england and they’d be none the wiser
