BLACKBEARD! That's who I had said would make another great pirate character!

Blackbeard was known for his disposition, attitude, and personality-if the show were to play on that and Hook's disposition, attitude, and personality, we could certainly have a really good pirate dynamic going on.

Hook's kindhearted, perhaps a little cunning, but in the end, a lot of what he is can be described as "young" or "youthful". His attitude and disposition is very much so youthful.

Blackbeard, on the other hand, always came across as hardened and very experienced, ruthless, and cruel. He would do everything he could to intimidate everyone.

It could work, too-it was said by Tamara once that SB was not the first time that Magic came to the LWM. I'm sure that our dear old Mr. Teach, having been a pirate who came to acquire much "booty", could have at some point found, say, a Magic Bean, and travelled to the EF for a while. His disposition would lead him not to care where he was, as long as there were ships to be raided.

Here, he could've met a young Hook, and easily rivaled him.

It'd also be interesting what they did with his backstory, seeing as Blackbeard's life pre-Piracy isn't anything anyone knows much about.

I would even go as far as to say that it'd be interesting if they hinted at him being from LWC, and then he somehow got to the LWM, where there is color, around the time he became a pirate. It'd say interesting things about his character if he started off in a colorless land, and then only became who he would be remembered for when he found his way to a color-filled land.
