Pirates are no stranger to pop culture. Taika Waititi's new show adds 'polite menace'
.” With his native lilt and plucky air, which he can shade easily to pique, he strikes a figure of optimism unbowed by incompetence. “As many of you have noticed, we have run aground — a little bit” is the sort of line whose rhythms he was made for.
When it’s pointed out that they don’t even have a pirate flag, Stede sets his crew to creating one, in a competition, the best entrant to be democratically chosen; grumbling will turn to pride, and it is in the nature of the show that everyone’s flag will fly together.
The pirates under Stede are, if not first- or even second-rate, piratical in their way, mulling mutiny and not averse to violence, but they are also pictured as somewhat winsome, capable of embarrassment and not completely insensitive to the advantages of sailing with Stede. In spite of a little mayhem, and some purposeful confusion about where certain loyalties lie, it’s ultimately a story about friendship, and thus cheery at its core.
