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.
John Marston I think you mean. They both came out roughly the same time and both remain the most iconic. Morgan is okay but he's only interesting in the last half of the game when he's dying. Just like Edward , John and his story was compelling from start to finish. And remember, without John Marston Arthur Morgan would not exist.
"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.

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

"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.
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.

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.
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.
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

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
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
Torres death struck a cord in me. I liked that he didn't declare the victory of the templars inevitable. He didn't spit and cuss, rant and rave at the hour of his death. He instead congratulated Edward on finding his heading. Saying that Edward wears his convictions well says a lot of the man minutes from death.
The first impression of Edward that made me love him immediately was “shut your fucking gob before I fill it with shot you hear me?” Made me die laughing 😂😂😂
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.
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.
I went into this, fully intending to watch no more than the first minute, and I ended up watching the whole thing. I had forgotten how much I love this game.
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.
Torres: you wear your convictions well, they suit you. Haytham: youve shown great conviction, strength, courage; all noble qualities. Like grandfather, like grandson.
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.

TL;DR: went to check, you are correct since your argument aligns with AC logic
missing edward unleashing the harpoon, the peak of masculinity
Damn right
You know Edward grew to be a great man when even his enemies show respect to him after they’ve lost to him
All I can hear is the man, the legend himself
John Constantine
Aye! Someone's with me!
The Warrior yes, he literally sounds just like John. Yes I know he is played by Matt Ryan but I just can’t hear anything else but Constantine
@@shillofnothing9195 Same

@@shillofnothing9195 it's John with a Welsh accent.
6:32 You could practically FEEL the rage in Edward's voice.
he really sounded like Haytham in that moment, or more so you could see where Haytham got some of his mannerisms and expressions of anger
@@pathfindertheseries That is true. Haytham felt similar in that regard
When the assassin’s creed series was great...
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, 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.
7:15 to this day one of the funniest interactions in the whole game 😂
Also I just realized that they're on the ship 🤦♂️
Torres:”you wear your convictions well... they suit you”
6:00 aughh u shot me feel my wraith and feel my spartan kick
*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
“You wear your convictions well, they suit you” underrated line tbh
RIP Mary Read, your death made me depressed for a while
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.
Edward is really a beast!!!🐯🐯
It is Matt Ryan who brings Edward Kenway to life by his voice..!💙
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
Torres death struck a cord in me. I liked that he didn't declare the victory of the templars inevitable. He didn't spit and cuss, rant and rave at the hour of his death.
He instead congratulated Edward on finding his heading. Saying that Edward wears his convictions well says a lot of the man minutes from death.
the best ac to date
Blue hair girl: *Attends therapy*
Therapist: 0:45
😂🤣🤣
6:01 BEST moment ever. Lol
The most powerful kneecaps in the world
The first impression of Edward that made me love him immediately was “shut your fucking gob before I fill it with shot you hear me?” Made me die laughing 😂😂😂
1:06 if that guy had one bullet in that, Haytham and Connor would be non-existent
I remember playing this. I laughed watching Edward and vane yelling at each on the boat from a far away camera view
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
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?
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
1:30 the guy who says he's English has a Welsh accent
Edward is what makes this one of my favourite games of all time.
6:05 get shot and kicks him off 😂😂
Matt Ryan did a brilliant job
Very true
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.
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.
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.
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?
I went into this, fully intending to watch no more than the first minute, and I ended up watching the whole thing. I had forgotten how much I love this game.
@@Wolf_Dominic it definitely holds up still.
@@wren8253 No doubt.
Same dude
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
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
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
This mans kneecaps were so powerful, they sent men flying off cliffs and off ships lol
The moment with his daughter is my fav.
12:04 that was great voice acting
5:19 at that moment adewale know how greedy Edward was
6:02
"How dare you shoot me with a rifle at point blank range ?"
*Proceeds to kick him off*
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.
Torres: you wear your convictions well, they suit you.
Haytham: youve shown great conviction, strength, courage; all noble qualities.
Like grandfather, like grandson.
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
"The point is, i want my key, i need you alive, i need your information, so i need you sobah"
7:40 What Edward 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.
A pirate has cleaner teeth than a dentist.
10:15 lmaoo edward face
Face of a man who’s been lied to lmao
Thank you Matt Ryan. For Your amazing performance as Edward Kenway and John Constantine.
2:50 all my friends act like this
