If I had a nickel for every Treasure Island adaptation (more or less) in which Captain Flint's past love life is an important plot element I'd have two nickels, and it's weird not so much that it happened twice but that they are Black Sails and Muppet Treasure Island

#cannot precisely *recommend* the latter given it arguably manages to fit as much casual racism as the 19th century novel #however it is notable for (1) tim curry putting his WHOLE pussy into playing long john silver and #(2) the subplot where ben(jamina) gunn is an ex-lover of both smollett and flint. and heavily implied to have had a fling with silver too #tonally they are quite different obviously 😂#my posts #black sails #muppet treasure island
