** SPOILERS ** Will Definitely Lose Viewers re:plot decision about Vane

I really loved Vane but there are other good characters. I am not the least bit concerned that they will have trouble moving on from him. Maybe his story was simply finished. Oh, and while I definitely found him attractive, I think there are equally, if not more, attractive characters still around. Attraction is a very subjective thing so I think it is hard to make the case that any particular character is the most attractive. Eye of the beholder and all.

Zach was great but no, I wont be quitting because Vane got necked. And yes he did want off the show. It's been discussed at length here and other social media. 7 months a year away from his young family when he thought Vane would get snuffed first season got too much.

If people want to quit a show simply because an actor who is attractive got necked, that's their problem. Seems rather shallow.

Regarding the interviews, the actor knew the character had an ending and was prepared not to see the series through to its conclusion. He never said he wanted out, implying he asked to be killed off. Any actor would covet the opportunity for increased exposure to the industry's movers and shakers as well as to build a larger fan base.

All good observations but I'm not sure Vane's fan that are disgruntled are THAT many to hurt the show.

What's Liberty doing to Justice???

Personally I am glad he is gone, I hated that 'Batman' voice, I rarely could understand what he is saying.

Killing off a major characters can help a story line, just look at Game of Thrones. Vane should have died when he took over the fort, he is the one that screwed everything up.

Nest up, kill off Flint...

It's not a terrible decision at all. Vane was one of my favorite characters on the show but his death is a monumental scene that will go down in the shows history. These characters can't last forever, historically he was hung by the British in Jamaica, this isn't a "happy ever after" story or Pirates Of The Caribbean, most of these characters we have grown to love will die at some point in the story, that is after all what happened to them in reality. This is a prequel to Treasure Island, and I wouldn't be surprised if one or more will fall in season 4. Probably Rackham and Blackbeard.

I think he's attractive, but he kind of has a bit of a Doberman face? Personally, I think Flint is sex on legs. He's ridiculously manly and hot. Way more my type than Vane (whom I can see why some people find attractive, he just doesn't do it for me).

I was never able to get into Vane X Eleanor. I enjoyed their back and forth and the passion, but I never shipped them together. It was obvious he felt more for her than she did for him. Vane let himself get played and I don't find her manipulation worth rooting for. Jack X Anne is the m/f ship I'm more into.

I don't think Zach chose to leave the show, but I don't think he was fired. The writers seem to be doing a fairly good job of sticking (at least loosely) to the timeline and events of when/how these pirates died. Vane burned bright and hard but he was only a pirate King for a short while before he was hanged. If you read the wiki entry on the real Charles Vane, it's very similar to what happened on the show. I think it was just Vanes time to die.

Look, I'm going to miss Zach and I very much enjoyed his character, but for none of the reasons you listed. I loved Vane bc he turned out to be a man of principles. I enjoyed his friendships with Flint and Jack, his father/son thing with Blackbeard and that he had a really great character arc that inevitably led to redemption.
