io9 spoke to dozens of fans of the HBO Max pirate comedy after the fandom was left divided over its season 2 finale.
Last week, the season two finale of Our Flag Means Death aired on Max. The eight-episode season was marked by incredible acting, a mix of goofy swashbuckling and brutal nose-peeling mutilation, and an encompassing acceptance of queerness that made the first season lightning in a bottle. For some fans, however, that bottle broke at the end of the eighth episode, when Con O’Neill’s Izzy Hands—first mate, jilted lover, and sometime serenader—was shot and killed.
The people he had treated poorly came together, as a crew, to show Izzy the love and acceptance he had been denied. In an interview with io9, Jenkins said that Izzy changes, fundamentally, from a person who aspires to dominate others to someone who recognizes that piracy—and this specific pirate crew—need to work together to survive.
