User blog comment:Sppople/PE Proposal: Blackbeard (Pirates of the Caribbean)/@comment-39032584-20200218004244

This is another character I've been anticipating to get a proposal (and one I might have eventually proposed myself if no one else did). Blackbeard's... an interesting case, the more I think about it. His crimes are definitely on a much smaller smaller than Beckett, who tried to essentially commit genocide by wiping out piracy and absolutely anyone remotely associated with it. That stated, despite being such a feared pirate, he's also got far less resources since he's only got his personal crew, which he treats as utterly disposable, to back him up. So considering he kills and tortures people regularly just to remind others who he is, up to and including in awful ways like burning them alive, treats Serena horrendously just to get tears out of her, and even callously disregards his own daughter's life, yes, I'd say he stands out as callously vile and heinous enough in his own right to qualify and be officially approved.
