i couldn't agree more with the part about how normalized it is on the show to be queer!! it's so refreshing to see no homophobia, no "it's okay to be gay" moment, and it means a lot.

He's right to be proud of not stringing out the kiss. That's big.

"...you know, and then the kiss on the beach is like, another moment that I think is pretty strong" lmao the way he says it so casually, as if that kiss wasn't groundbreaking and life-changing for so many people.

Really liked the discussion of Taika and Rhys trusting each other. You can really see that kind of support through their roles and the balance of comedy/drama and how well it translates to screen. The care that went into this show as a whole is just *chef's kiss*.

It’s so lovely to see such wonderful support for the LGBTQIA+ community. Everyone involved in OFMD deserves awards for this fantastic show. ❤️

I love watching the interviews of the cast of this show. The fact that all of them are so invested and understand the importance of the queer rep in the way it's being done in this show in particular.

honestly I really appreciate Matt’s questions. He doesn’t beat around the bush, he often refers back to Taika’s answers as well as scenes from the show itself so the conversation stays on track. He even steers the conversation towards Taika’s influence as an Indigenous creator which rarely happens in interviews that I’ve seen for OFMD!! I don’t think he dismisses the fact that it’s a gay story either? They go into it for a good chunk of the interview. Maybe it’s because I’m Australian and the rhythm of this conversation just seems friendly and sincere. Those that are more used to a fast paced interviewing style might find this awkward but it seems like a nice respectful conversation to me !! and the guy made his own pirate flag 😭

I'm just gonna make some chapter marks here for myself, cause I know I'll be rewatching this one 0:20 What's the best thing about playing a pirate? 1:24 Did you enjoy playing Blackbeard? 2:16 Blackbeard's character growth 3:52 What's something that's different about Our Flag Means Death? 5:43 How do you juggle the different tones of the show? 8:38 What did the Oscar win mean for you? 10:31 Power of TV as a medium 12:40 Favorite moment of the season 13:51 What did you and Rhys teach each other? 16:18 What would your pirate flag look like? 17:40 What's special about the story of omfd? 19:43 What's it like working on three TV shows?

the way he just stares at the beginning is SO FUNNY😭

My favourite parts of the show is when some self-righteous Colonist or toxically masculine pirate tries to bully with homophobia and the general response from the crew is, "Dude. Not cool. What's your damage?" Queer is the *normal* and the phobes are the freaks.

As a journalist, the way he started answering the first question gave me the heebie-jeebies. Thankfully he started explaining.

i actually found it quite funny

“only things to do with pirates” is everyone in the ofmd fandom rn

I love how much impact this series has on all LGBTQIA+ Lives ❤️ AND on a lot of straight lives. The funniest bit is still the straight dudes thinking it's a buddy comedy 😂😂😂 Also I love that they don't have these typical scenes from coming out or needing to talk about it... As taika actually said. Like we don't need that. This show is actually how it could be without having to label or to come out and I love that very much ❤️

this was an amazing interview, i started tearing up when taika spoke about how special the LGBTQ+ representation and love story is since there’s no huge monologue about being different, there’s just love and acceptance. that’s so special to me, and so wonderful. this show made me feel so safe, and i’m overjoyed knowing that taika understands how much it means to the community

yeah but he likens that to his own life, he's won an Oscar, he's doing the big budget Hollywood movies, what else is there to achieve as a filmmaker? so in that sense he's quite similar to Ed, a spectacularly successful middle aged guy who's kinda bored and not sure what's next.

Thank you for that interview 🙏🏻

The flag Taika describes at 16:40 sounds suspiciously like what must have been the pitch for the Love + Thunder Poster :D

"I'm at the end of my career" why haven't I seen anyone talking about this???!?!!??!!!

I love that Taika is always just honest, even if that doesn't mean he's being the best advocate for the show or the best and easiest interviewee. deep down most actors probably hate those press things but it's nice when it turns into an honest conversation with some real insights.

One sees a whole lot of show of ego from him recently, if one notices. Seemingly since his horrible Jojo, his life's worst work.
