It's not like Blackbeard Pirates aren''t final villain material, they're good foils to the Straw Hats but they should be examples of far the Straw Hats have come and and improved like the New Fishmen Pirates. I'm not saying it should be a stomp but Blackbeard and co haven't earned their place as the ultimate villains, they're no better than the Fake Straw Hats in terms of personailty and behavoir except that they're way stronger.
