Roger Dodger oh I see. You’re one of the ‘is very fun at parties’ type of people. There’s been about 300 odd years since that point fella. Since then they’ve remained about as British as... well, they’re not very British is my point It’s pretty standard British banter to rip on yanks
I think it sums up how a lot of people think about pirates today. Pirates were thieves and some were wicked men. However, they were also egalitarian, democratic, and fought for fair wages. This was revolutionary for the time and makes you wonder what could have been if they were fighting for more than wealth.
It foreshadows Edwards redemption perfectly. It’s only when he can forget about riches that he can change. That change ultimately got him what he wanted, in a way.
"You wear your convictions well. They suit you." That line is legendary. Even if he disagrees with Edwards opinion, he still respects him for fighting for his beliefs.
@@nikitahatamov4312 There is no good nor bad, just people fight for what they believe and the ideal. Villain is not the best word, rather, antagonist is the better word.
And the saddest thing after all the pain he went through and the lessons of the world he's seen. He tried his best. The love of his life died and left him his children. After he turned his life around. And made a good name for himself and repaid all his wrong deeds with good deeds. The Templar's still managed to get his son into their order.
I do not believe that Edward would’ve cared as he did not have a hatred for the Templar’s only the people who got tried to control Society and if he knew his son was a Templar I think that he would’ve only been disappointed if he tried to control Society and haythem never really tried to control only steer people into why he thought tru le
Want a Sprite cranberry by the time Haytham and Shay were alive I liked templars in America more than Assassins. What they made in Portugal was way worse than what the templars ideology is.

There’s such a heaviness to it. You can tell that he got what he wanted, but it’s nowhere near what he expected. Losing all he cared about, watching all that slip away for the sake of some reales and a reputation as one of the most vicious pirates to ever sail the seven seas. It destroyed him, ripped him to shreds bit by bit. Then he sails with his daughter. It’s almost as if that single event saved what was left of him. Edward was finally broken in the end. And yet, his daughter glued all the jagged pieces back together. It’s insane that a fictional character from a video game can force such raw emotion out of us. I felt for him. Almost grieved with him. But he never existed. Because his story never happened. There is also a sadness in that it seems…
Edward character is one of the best development in the Ac series. Also, reading the Ac4 book, Edward wanted to be rich because his wife gave up her riches for him. Also, he's hardly a womaniser at all, compared to what you see in the trailers, the only woman Edward been with is only been with is Caroline and his second wife Tessa. I think anyone would agree with me, if they read the book.
@@blastergun4206 because I’m not going back now and replaying that game. As good as it is it is like 70% Ubisoft filler bs. If I play another tailing mission in a game it’ll be too soon. I did get close to the ending though when I played.
"We're celebratin my RETIREMENT!!" That is one of my all time favorite moments of Blackbeard in this game. He's just such a goober in that moment and I love it.
I’m paying a lot of attention to Edward’s little necklace and you know how much it looks like. Lowkey look his grandson Connor’s necklace they look the same. Perhaps it’s the same necklace his grandfather wore. I mean to be honest that wouldn’t be a coincidence from me since I’ve the wiki about Connor’s outfit it’s apparently a upgraded version of his grandfathers outfit Edward Kenway’s outfit.
Am so confuddled about Kenway sometimes. I love him a lot, and I feel sorry for him when he realises that there’s nobody left that he loved, but other times it’s his own fault for seeking something too badly that it blinded him to everything else
@@hlinneyefc75 If Edward got a sequel it would probably be one with both Haythem and Edward's stories, starting with Edward and ending with Haythem right before AC3.
Haytham chuckles as blood came out of his mouth."And the cause you once served was no different,Father?you served with men and women like blackbeard,mary read,rackham and Charles vane,men who are no different from templars. Haytham chuckles as he looked at his father while edward tries to stop the bleeding. Pirates and templars are no different from each other,they only care about themselves.........at least,mary,annie and adewale have more sense to realize how much of a fools errand was you blackbeard's ideal if a 'pirate nation' is,but at what price is there. Edward look and tought of the friends he has lost. Haytham:And whatever mary read and annie and adewale told you came out one ear and out the other. Edward:That not true son. Haytham:Oh and why am I a templar,why am I your enemy,why was jenny taking to be a sex slave and the middle east? Haytham:Because you put all your trust in a unknown stranger who would see your brotherhood dead,and for jenny,she has a hatred for both of our causes,it would not surprised me if she would rather see the world cleansed of all of the knights and assassins,after see what we have done,it would mean seeing her own father,brother,nephew..........and maybe my grand daughter being sent to kingdom come or maybe she is trying to make both of them see peace and reason,but there is no peace between both sides.........and maybe we should all burn...to.......to....day. Edward wraps bandages around the wound he caused to haytham but haytham passes out as he Carry him away.
@@ahmedmohammad6099 his whole thing is his desire for freedom without limit, the freedom to err and make mistakes and experience it all on his own willingness and hunger for adventure for himself. He is against the Templar order because whatever their goals, they seek to control people and end free will
@MisterJakeC I guess developers didn't that he was going to become Fan Favorite rivaling Ezio. They can still change his death by giving us a sequel with Half Story based on Edward as Father and Assassin and then the other Half as Haythem growing up with Templar ideology and his revenge with Birch.
Edward's story was always sad as hell, but I think Bonnit's story - in the real world and game- is just as tragic. Poor bastard was a poor pirate, but the courts needed to make an example. He died crying, at the end of the rope, as everyone cried with him.
God I miss the times where we were just a badass human who was extremely good at fighting that could easily and elegantly kill templars instead of a fucking demigod with superpowers who can slash someone's throat and still not kill them, Ubisoft ruined everything that I loved the most about AC series
Ah yes, pressing the same two buttons and never dying in the older assassins creed games was definitely more challenging lmao. Bruh the only way you could die in the older assassin’s creed games is if you died to falling damage. It didn’t even give you the option to make the difficulty harder, what the fuck are you on about? Lol
@@blacksky5110, yeah unity was still not challenging, like I said there wasn’t even an option to change the difficulty in the game. So you’re just forced to play on normal which sucks. The only thing challenging about that game was all the bugs you had to encounter.
Edward Kenway is my all time favorite assassin’s creed character and Matt Ryan will always be Edward Kenway to me my favorite scene is when Torrez asks him what his true name is and he says and I quote “it’s uh captain piss off” Edward is a prime example of a scoundrel turned humble but tragic hero like he said to El Tiburon “you helped make a soldier out of scoundrel” he has suffered the most but came out a changed man but still quite a smart ass I love this guy
@@pocketsupport5938 Ughh no. Well the modern day ones at least. And Christopher Gist is fucking awful. Oh and Shay's defection is poorly handled. Seriously he has poor communication skills. All of that would have been gone if he just calm down and explain it and even bring Achilles to another temple to prove his point.
@@W0LV1E45 I agree about Shay, but Gist? I respectfully disagree. The man had literally: -Paid some crew for Shay. -Been very honest and gentle person. -Been the best partner when Shay had about some sailing missions. -Not to mention when Haytham told Gist to stay on the Morrigan in the final mission, you can feel his loyalty in his reply to that.
11:38 This moment always makes me laugh. Edward is just trying to sail his pirate boat but his consciousness manifests itself and proceeds to nag him into oblivion.
AC 4 might have been the last AC game that I truly enjoyed playing. There is just something amazing about being able to sail the open seas and plunder your way through the Atlantic. Edward is by far my favourite Kenway family member and might be my favourite AC character ever.
@@odrysiann indeed, went to check it and apparently it's up for debate. Some even consider the gulf of Mexico part of the ocean, others consider Cuba as its border, just like the Bay of Biscay. But apparently you and assassin's Creed use the former, since Rogue's map includes islands in the north Atlantic, and if you are defining official borders then the North Atlantic wouldn't have islands TL;DR: went to check, you are correct since your argument aligns with AC logic
I appreciated Kenway for being human and struggling to make something of himself when he came from nothing. He initially couldnt save himself, from himself.
Man I dont know what edward was talking bout "riches and reputition", by that point in the game I spent all my money on suits and weapons.I was broke as hell.😂
I remember doing a mission in syndicate where they mentioned Edward and that his son sold all the stuff to the templars a d we had to find some old assasin thing under his house
Well, it became an “Assassin” game near the end. The Pirates Philosophy became the Assassin’s Philosophy. Edward had to develop into an assassin. Before that, he and Roberts were wild cards. The Newer games feel as if they hardly have anything to do with Assassins or Templars, and their simple ideological differences. The storytelling, consequently got weaker because the premise was forgotten.
Black Flag was the most tragic AC for me. Something about building a attachment to these characters, Edward's friends, slowly losing them one by one until Edward realizes what he had was worth more than any weight of gold
I get the impression Edward was born to be an assassin and the world around him kept telling him it is was his destiny to join the Assassin’s Creed and the life of a pirate was not his true destiny. In all of the Assassin’s Creed games Edward is probably the one character in the entire trilogy that has suffered the most lost and has suffered the most in general.
@@on_rns It's not actually the years in this case, but the intensity. Edward lost MORE people & got his beliefs far more shaken in those 7 than Ezio had been in 25. hell, Ezio got to die of old age, yet Edward got killed by someone he called a friend, & even lost his son to his enemy AFTER he died.
Same. He watched his friends either die, go insane, change allegiances. Not to mention his greed. But eventually he gets a change of heart and begins to set things right. The part in the end when he remembers all his friends is the saddest part for me.
He probably wasn't a pirate long enough for scurvy to set in. & also, he was a privateer before he turned against the crown, which meant that he knew better than most pirates out there about keeping his teeth healthy.
I mean those are fair assumptions but the truth is simpler, I think. It'd be fucking gross to play as someone with teeth and hygiene accurate to the time period
@@loucar1067 But Haytham forces Templar beliefs on Connor. Which Connor said to him (Its not right to force allegiance whether the british crown or templar cross) before Connor breaks the allegiance with both Haytham and Washington.
No. Edward always taught Haytham to follow his own path. See things in different ways. Haytham decided to stay as a Templar, because he believed he was on the right path. I think Edward would be proud because Haytham thought in his own way.
"Edward.. your constant friendship has been my most treasured find on these seas."

Man I dont know what edward was talking bout "riches and reputition", by that point in the game I spent all my money on suits and weapons.I was broke as hell.😂
Edward is really a beast!!!🐯🐯
7:15 to this day one of the funniest interactions in the whole game 😂
Also I just realized that they're on the ship 🤦♂️
*laughs looking at the sky*
*sees assassin and laughs*
“Was it good for you as well?”
Learning James' true nature threw me for the biggest loop of my 13 year old life
It is Matt Ryan who brings Edward Kenway to life by his voice..!💙
I remember doing a mission in syndicate where they mentioned Edward and that his son sold all the stuff to the templars a d we had to find some old assasin thing under his house
Haytham didn't sell it. Haytham was a Templar. He handed those artifacts to the order he led.
long time ago: assassin's creed
6 years ago: pirate's creed
now: viking's…wait wtf
It's good because it isn't boring but they could make good RPG without assassins creed-name in.
Well, it became an “Assassin” game near the end. The Pirates Philosophy became the Assassin’s Philosophy.
Edward had to develop into an assassin. Before that, he and Roberts were wild cards.
The Newer games feel as if they hardly have anything to do with Assassins or Templars, and their simple ideological differences. The storytelling, consequently got weaker because the premise was forgotten.
@@shadestrider1033 assassin’s creed is turning into a History book. Because yeah obviously everybody knows Vikings are stealthy and silent.. :/
@@voodoo1viper341 Another victim of the Viking stereotype.They used stealth when it was useful and nessesary.Search it up.
@@Estupido123 ye but no where near assassin type of sealth
"edward, can you prove you deserve this ancient artifact more than anyone else?"
"no, and i dont care. i want my money."
Some say Stede Bonnet is looking for his sugar to this very day.
Honestly this video should be the entire game
Ik
1:56 All right can we agree this is the most badass moments because of the instrumental pause?
Black Flag was the most tragic AC for me.
Something about building a attachment to these characters, Edward's friends, slowly losing them one by one until Edward realizes what he had was worth more than any weight of gold
6:00 aughh u shot me feel my wraith and feel my spartan kick
6:05 get shot and kicks him off 😂😂
Torres:”you wear your convictions well... they suit you”
Matt Ryan did a brilliant job
Very true
Fun fact: His german voice actor is the same as Nathan Fillion's.
Why would Nathan Fillion voice him in German?
Um what the fuck are you talking about? What does Nathan Fillion have to do with anything?
“You wear your convictions well, they suit you” underrated line tbh
my jaws went down in this moment, i knew she was acting like a boy all along but i never imagined she will be attractive like that 10:18
Amen. Like, goddamn
That's how reverse traps work
It's his face beforehand that cracks me up every time 😂
Attractive?
Little late but the way she used blood for lipstick was metal as fuck
I get the impression Edward was born to be an assassin and the world around him kept telling him it is was his destiny to join the Assassin’s Creed and the life of a pirate was not his true destiny. In all of the Assassin’s Creed games Edward is probably the one character in the entire trilogy that has suffered the most lost and has suffered the most in general.
What about ezio bruh
Ezio suffers in 3 games when when Edward Suffers a LOT more in just one.
Sir Crimson Wolf Edward suffers in a span of 7 years. Ezio had more than 25 years of suffering.
And you just gave me another point. Ezio suffers many times in Three DIFFERENT GAMES
@@on_rns It's not actually the years in this case, but the intensity. Edward lost MORE people & got his beliefs far more shaken in those 7 than Ezio had been in 25. hell, Ezio got to die of old age, yet Edward got killed by someone he called a friend, & even lost his son to his enemy AFTER he died.
1:06 if that guy had one bullet in that, Haytham and Connor would be non-existent
I feel bad for kenway 9:17 -9:28
Why?
@@archington1851 Because he seen all his friends die/go insane
Same. He watched his friends either die, go insane, change allegiances. Not to mention his greed. But eventually he gets a change of heart and begins to set things right.
The part in the end when he remembers all his friends is the saddest part for me.
I remember playing this. I laughed watching Edward and vane yelling at each on the boat from a far away camera view
Edward is what makes this one of my favourite games of all time.
the last AC protagonist i can remember liking. everyone since has been stale to the touch
Kassandra and shay,bayek Frye twins and aya are the only new gen ac protagonists I like,arno and laya,not so much.
Haven't played unity and above, but Shay was good wasn't he?
I personally liked Bayek as well, for the most part.
12:04 that was great voice acting
2:50 all my friends act like this
I love the risk Ubisoft took with Black Flag. It's quite a dramatic turn in direction compared to the previous entries before this. And it paid off.
13:00 - 13:26 is the best quote of Edward Kenway
The moment we all loved Edward and realized he would be an assassin 😎
I knew which one it would be before I clicked
June 2020 and I’m still playing this amazing masterpiece
A pirate has cleaner teeth than a dentist.
Seeing Bonnet leaving and then being in Edward's vision of his lost friends makes me worried for him!
Yes, sadly he died a miserable death.
Probably you already know... But Bonnet died during the game and it goes unnoticed, he was captured by the British (if I'm not mistaken) and hanged
The moment with his daughter is my fav.
why does no one talk about how edward a pirate in the early 1700s have near perfect teeth
He probably wasn't a pirate long enough for scurvy to set in. & also, he was a privateer before he turned against the crown, which meant that he knew better than most pirates out there about keeping his teeth healthy.
I mean those are fair assumptions but the truth is simpler, I think. It'd be fucking gross to play as someone with teeth and hygiene accurate to the time period
He drinks a lotta rum though
I swear this games makes me go through emotional rollercoaster. And still is when I replayed it even if I've forgotten most of it
Thank you for making this!
MrBimos555 Thanks! That’s kind of you to say.
yes
Edward James Kenway hi🌟💙
Edward James Kenway you’re or you
Send a world to Ah Tabai that i want him to train me
@@Val0r468 aye lad
Mr. Kenway. Big fan
How come they made him look more young and suave in the cgi trailers, but in gameplay looks nothing like them - kind of lax
Shawn Youtt trailers were abstergo propaganda
abstergo aka ubisoft
Graphics, scar and blonde hair
5:19 at that moment adewale know how greedy Edward was
This mans kneecaps were so powerful, they sent men flying off cliffs and off ships lol
That little eye roll though
7:40 What Edwar would do to Haytham if he were alive to find out he became a Templar
Michael Jarrett LMAO yes 😂
Both Edward and Haytham saved people and fought for the right thing to do. I think Edward would be very proud of his son
@@loucar1067 But Haytham forces Templar beliefs on Connor. Which Connor said to him (Its not right to force allegiance whether the british crown or templar cross) before Connor breaks the allegiance with both Haytham and Washington.
yeah that's what I heat about templers the want to force to fallow orders
No. Edward always taught Haytham to follow his own path. See things in different ways.
Haytham decided to stay as a Templar, because he believed he was on the right path. I think Edward would be proud because Haytham thought in his own way.
Thank you Matt Ryan. For Your amazing performance as Edward Kenway and John Constantine.
This makes me appreciate the writing so much more. Man I miss this AC
5:50 it's funny how the cutscene wasnmade that the guards can't see him
All these years and I just realised Edward kenway is Jax Teller from SOA
