Stupidity: When Johnny is captured by Roarke and his followers, Danny gives him the power of the Ghost Rider back. Roarke knows what Danny is doing, but doesn't order his men to stop him, or even attempt to stop Danny himself.
Stupidity: In the scene when the cook is torched, why didn't he just jump out of the longboat into the water? Why get burned?
Suggested correction: It would be pointless. If he ran away, Blackbeard would just come after him and make him suffer greatly. At least the fire is quicker than torture or being zombified.
Hogwash. Fire is even more painful than torture.
Not only that but, it's only speculation what would Blackbeard would do to the man if he had survived.
