The POTC trilogy is GOATED

I think one of the reasons Beckett was such a good villain is because he was so REAL. With the other ones being cursed or using some sort of magic it's all just fantasy. But Beckett is really just a man with a lot of power, and people like him actually exist.

Blackbeard isn't a bad villain the problem is lord Becket did the whole pure evil villain archetype much better in the previous films so he's feels like a little redundant

Blackbeard had potential but was underutilized. Salazar... well, the effects are cool. But his rivalry with Jack feels manufactured and all I remember him saying for the whole movie was 'JACK SPARRAH'

I think blackbeard was a great villain still, he had that 'Big Jack Horner' syndrome where he just knew he was evil, and was dragging an entire crew with him to help save him knowing they'd most likely all die. It was also great having someone who knew he was such a horrible man juxtaposed with a good hearted missionary aboard his ship

Beckett, despite being not as terrifying visually and even being smaller in stature, was able to put Jones in his place in front of his crew. He's not intimidated by "the devil".

"My freedom was forfeit long ago" is my favourite line from the series, probably. We are constantly exposed to how consistently miserable Jones's existence is. He finds some comfort or joy or escape from it all in his position; undead, symbol of fear and power, free to terrorise the seas for eternity. In At World's End he has lost even that, now a puppet of people he despises. The man has absolutely nothing. You'd think he'd be begging for death at this point. Jack tells the truth: "I can set your free, mate". He could. But Jones's reply is just gut-wrenching and so illustrative of his character. There would be so many justified responses. "I'll be damned if I let you captain my ship" "I'll have my freedom soon enough" "You don't deserve the Dutchman" "I have known freedom and will again" "Freedom is an illusion, none of us are really free" He could have said anything like this, but he doesn't. Even in the face of death and chaos he simply acknowledges his position. He refutes Jack's offer, not out of spite or pride, but because whatever release death holds has no value to him, and he admits that he lost his freedom so long ago he will never reclaim it. It's simple but so damn good

Really apreciate you brought up the fact that the removal of Davy's heart makes him feel less emotions and that's why in the third movie he has More rage, his heart is closer to him

also, I will truly never understand how 'At World's End' has only 44% on Rotten Tomatoes... apparently on account of the fact that it had... a convoluted plot?

The insane Barbosa, the heartless Jones, the miliputive Becket, The brutal Blackbeard, and the vengeful Salazar.

In defense of Blackbeard, he is meant to be a man so fearful of death that he would take his own daughter's life in order to extend his own. His daughter wanted Blackbeard to learn to be a good man, but in the end, it wasn't in his nature. A great insight into what his villain was meant to be, we can look at the line "in religion there is light enough to see but darkness enough to blind" what he means here is that religion gives light enough to see morality and to find peace with yourself, but darkness enough to blind yourself to the world you could manipulate around you, If only you threw away your morals. Salazar is... Not very dependable. He's a 2d character with no depth past "I hate pirates" I like to consider the 4th and 5th films side stories, so the original trilogy is Pirates of the Caribbean 1 2 and 3, whereas I consider 5 and 6 to be "The misadventures of Jack Sparrow": 1 and 2

In all fairness _Dead Men Tell No Tales_ provides a really solid reason for Salazar hating pirates - his father and grandfather were both murdered by pirates.

Kinda sad that Norrington was never mentioned, I feel like was pretty involved and kinda followed Barbossa’s story of being a villain, goes through struggles and eventually get redeemed

Barbossa is honestly one of my favourite characters of all time, and one of the few characters that survived the entire movie series while remaining true to his own core. Whatever can be said about PotC 4 and 5, Barbossa was a high light of both and was given a worthy departure imo. That said, Davy Jones and Beckett are both phenomenal characters in their own right. The original PotC trilogy really knew how to handle its character writing.

What I like so much about becket is that he always delivers on his promises that he makes with the main characters and doesn’t really lie. This makes him just always seem in control

I really enjoyed Beckett as a villain. I think he's a great example of how if you've got a "chaotic good" protagonist (such as Jack Sparrow) it can be interesting to pit them against a "lawful evil" antagonist.

If I’m not mistaken, Salazar took up his father’s cause as a pirate hunter when he was killed by pirates. I would say revenge is Salazar’s motivation, but it’s not highlighted very well in the movie.

The first three movies are so nostalgic to me. As a kid, I always were afraid of Barbossa and Davy Jones because I didn’t understand their characters then. Now looking back, I gotta say, that all the antagonists in the first three movies were just incredible. I just love these films because there aren’t really any pirates movies out there with fictional adjustments like PotC.

Davy Jones was the original Thanos Beckett was the upgrade of the Trade Federation

I think Black Beard's potential was terribly wasted. He was allegedly terrifying in real life, not only because of his physical stature and lighting his beard on fire, but he was also extremely smart and strategic. I think a trilogy could be written with him as the main villain

The original trilogy are the best villains, but I defend Black Beard as also being great

Excellent work. That mother-in-law bit was enough to keep me hooked to the intro.

I absolutely love seeing Beckett as a foil to Elizabeth, because it also respects how much she is into freedom and piracy rather than just loving Will (and why I don’t at all like the ending of At World’s End implying Elizabeth just. Stayed on land raising a kid.)

I do think the main reason, why most people feel dissatisfied with Blackbeard is comparing him to Davy Jones. I'm sure most do and it is pretty clear that no villain in the franchise will probably ever come close to the genius of Davy Jones. Yet I see Blackbeard as a separate villain in a separate more Jack Sparrow centered story. There are various things I actually like about him: - the acting (Ian McShane is one of the GOAT) and he just looks perfectly evil in the costume - his comparably unpersonal conflict with Sparrow (he's probably the only one, who didn't even have a backstory with Sparrow, but still is able to look through his deception like during the talk in his cabin or when he gives him the chalices; Jack is also downright irritated (not disgusted like with Beckett) by Blackbeard's evil) - he is probably the most no-nonsense character in the franchise, which gets quiet funny in his interaction with other characters - he defies the old trope evil cannot comprehend good (he understands the good, but he mocks and manipulates it, like Philip's affection for Syrena or Angelica's love for him as well as Sparrow's feelings for Angelica) - the supernatural powers added to him are rather subtle compared to previous villains, which is refreshing - he's chillingly evil (McShane delivers his lines with a certain presence, that I find very suitable) - he's basically a cowardly man, who hides behind a reputation of being feared (perfect irony in a way) - he still has a sense of honor, when being ready dueling Barbossa (although he probably did it not to embarrass himself) - his defeat is just pure poetry, like with most villains in POTC (he basically trusts Sparrow, because he things Jack would respect Angelica's wish to save him) So I can say, that Blackbeard is a untypical villain, but one I actually really like. POTC 4 is definitely far better than it’s reputation. They were also able to perfectly write Jack Sparrow in that one as a well intentioned spontaneous genius compared to POTC 5. Salazar on the other hand is a really strangely written villain, honestly. He's also a combination of all previous villains: - like Barbossa in the first one he wants to be a normal human again (although it’s never stated, but he is happy in act 3 when turning back) - like Davy Jones in the second one he basically rules the sea after leaving the Triangle and cannot enter land - like Beckett in the third he has a sharp military intellect and hates pirates with a special hate for Jack Sparrow - like Blackbeard in the fourth he seeks a special magical item for his goals (he seeks out the Trident in Act 3 for … eh reasons) Well I hope it didn’t get to long. 😂 Thanks for reading. And btw great video essay. POTC just never gets old.

Honestly, I could watch your videos on Pirates of the Caribbean for hours. It’s giving me the urge to rewatch all of these films again

Blackbeard was a missed opportunity about a Zombie Blackbeard using voodoo magic trying to prolong his life, basically the Pirate LeChuck from Monkey Island. Salazar on paper has a lot that works being a villain from Jack's past out for revenge but the script problems take away from what works

The Jack Sparrow novels and the “Price of Freedom” by A.C. Crispin are good material that expands a little bit more on all three villains. They’re a good read and excellent when it comes to writing swashbuckling adventures.

I saw the first movie so many times and waited to get the special edition dvd at midnight. Needless to say, I was obsessed! They did a fantastic job putting the ride on film. When 2 and 3 came out, I saw them a couple times but found them confusing. As an adult I realize how brilliant they truly are

After watching this video about the first three villains I noticed that there something that makes each one attracted besides their story. Barbossa was a pirate that we always imagine pirates to be. Davy Jones was supernatural legends that we all heard of. And Beckett, was a man that represents the reality that we face.

It’s crazy how your channel is literally my interests, and this is some good stuff 😎

I do believe that Ian McShane and Javier Bardem gave good performances and had killer designs; the problem was that the writing for their characters wasn't very good. Unpopular opinion: I liked Blackbeard's conflict with missionary Philip Swift. Yes, he's a one-note character, but his faith and bravery despite his absence of actual combat skills contrasts nicely to Blackbeard's powers, pure villainy and cruelty; and how Blackbeard was willing to sacrifice his daughter to save his own skin while Philip, in the end, didn't ask the mermaid Syrena to save his own life, but simply asked for her forgiveness for her suffering that he was indirectly responsible for. Salazar's backstory was cut short in the film, but the novelization went deeper into his past, showing that not only did his grandfather die at the hands of pirates, but his father was an admiral who had taken bribes from pirates and sent to prison while Salazar's mother was unfairly punished for her husband's crimes and sent to a workhouse where she died. When his father was released, Salazar killed him for revenge, which kickstarted his all-consuming hatred for piracy. The film's poor writing skipped out on this, which would've made for a much more interesting antagonist, even in a film that totally broke established canon and all sense of chronology (Jack, Barbossa, and Gibbs haven't aged a day while Will and Elizabeth's son Henry has grown into a legal adult).

Armand Salazar! I love absolutely everything about this villian. From his merciless nature to his childlike delight that truly adds to the layer of terror of him. That not only will he do whatever he wants to you, but he’ll enjoy it more the more cruelty it allows.

This was a really great analysis, I love the idea that the villains parallel the 3 main heroes, or conversely, that the villains are what the heroes could have become if they were just a little bit more bitter, twisted or self centered. Amazing work!

Great video and analysis :) I also have the feeling Mercer is a kind of reflection of what Norrington would have become, if he did not listen his heart and sense of honor.

Good video, but wouldn't Angelica be considered the main foil for Jack in "On Stranger Tides?" I'd argue she was the main antagonist in the film. Blackbeard felt more of a driving point for her and an obsticle for Barbossa.

Blackbeard was a missed opportunity, they used absolutely nothing about his real life back story, for instance he was killed and beheaded by the British Navy, the movie has him as a pirate/magician with a zombie crew, a tweak of the story could have him resurrected as a zombie and he wants the fountain of youth to restore him to humanity.

I think Salazar had some cool ideas but they either weren’t played on or were terribly executed 1. He hates pirates (why?) he needed more motivation here 2. His rivalry with Jack sparrow needed to be expanded upon, showing him being outsmarted by Jack once was cool but I feel like it should have been a rivalry that went on for years 3. The sea curse, they could have played with the idea of a pirate hunter being stuck with something that is usually associated with pirates but did nothing on this front

Why is so hard for most of the people in the world to realise of the greatness and beautiness of the Pirates of the Caribbean?

I admit that I never watched these movies in years, but the villains, minus the ones after the original trilogy, hold up surprisingly well. I agree that Beckett is a good villain to wrap up the OG trilogy. Pirates in these movies represent adventure and freedom. What would challenge that? A cruel authority figure who wants to control the open seas, and is willing to bend the laws of nature to make that goal a reality. Plus, making him a foil to Elizabeth is also clever, since it's unexpected in a good way.

Just watched all the POTC films a couple of days ago, this video popping up in my recommended is clearly a gift from Calypso

I think Salazar hates pirates because of their free and savage nature. They probably stolen, killed or whatever from his country, so he sat out of eliminate them all so he and others can be free without pirates. He hates Jack because he taunted him during his victory and defeated him during battle because Salazar fought pirates that wasn't Jack. Thats my opinion tho.

Technically, that was the plan since the beginning. To get Will on the Ship so that he could steal the key, then run with it as far away from Jones as possible and, hopefully, spare Jack by giving it to him when he found the chest. Sure, this plan's pretty bad but that's just a testament to how much Davy Jones dominates the sea. Everything else is perfect. BlackBeard and Salazar could've to be better tbh.

I find the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films the most underrated in the series. I haven’t watched the last two, and I have no opinion on them. And I agree that the villains are satisfying.

You could consider Salazar as bouncing off of Barbossa. Barbossa used piracy to gain honor and riches; Salazar hated piracy because he had honor and riches, and then lost it all to a pirate. You can see this in their conversations with one another. Especially when Salazar asks Barbossa what he knows about honor. He’s not really a direct foil to anybody, but is similar to Barbossa.

It’s says pirates killed Salazar’s dad in dead men tell no tales

Really appreciate your appreciation of Elizabeth as complex and I look forward to your video on her!

I loved this breakdown. Very well articulated and concise! I really need to rewatch these movies again. I feel like there’s so much someone could learn about effective storytelling by paying close attention to them. Very much excited by a more concentrated look at Elizabeth!

Davy Jones is one of the best villians in cinema history, not just in his franchise. Aside from being a fantastic villian, he's also one of the most tragic characters and his story is extremely intriguing.

Davy Jones and Barbossa in common ten years bound to curse

Really cool description of Jones. Clap clap to you sir.

Cutler Beckett isn't as cool as Hector Barbossa or Davy Jones but he's one of the best depictions of a psychopath I've ever seen in fiction. There is NO empathy in this man. None at all. Murdering children? Childs play, dark joke very much intended. Beckett couldn't care less if he tried. Barbossa and Jones both have some degree of empathy but Beckett is just pure evil. He's almost robotic in some ways and people might think that's a flaw but I think it was intentional. Also I love Beckett's death because not only is it a visual spectacle but it showed that he has no idea how to handle his own emotions. He was so used to going through life with a cold, logical mindset devoid of any emotional investment that when he finally felt an intense emotion, specifically fear, in his final moments, he just froze. That's a pretty accurate depiction of how somebody who has shunned all emotion for many years would react if they're suddenly feeling something intense. They just don't know how to process it.

I always rewatch the first 3 movies on the days they first released in Theaters like it was their birthday.

The retrospect into Black Pearl makes Barbossa's redemption in Salazar's Revenge more poignant. He found the one thing that was more important to him than momentarily pleasure - his legacy. Blackbeard and Salazar were meant to be foils for Barbossa, but they both fall flat because they only relate to a single aspect of his character.

My man great videos I’m glad ur talking about my favorite movie and u do a good job analyzing them

Thumbnail does everything right.

I think that Beckett represents civilisation plus rationalism in a more supernatural, more irrational and free world of Pirates' Carribbean. He kinda represents a new era that's coming; when immaterial becomes... immaterial.

ALL HAIL THE PIRATE LORD OF THE SEA!!! Really loving the new content

My favorite moment from any movie ever is cutler becketts death, the music with his distraught look of realizing he’s lost, is just amazing

Becket is the complete opposite of everything Jack stands for. Freedom Vs Control. His perfect foil. It’s amazing.

Great video! This has me wanting to revisit the POTC Trilogy!

Having watched On Stranger Tides standalone a few days back to satiate a mermaid fixation, I really enjoyed Blackbeard. I just liked seeing him be evil, liked seeing how willing he was to throw away people's lives and then act like he wouldn't (when he would), as far as to throwing away his own daughter's life. Add that with his fear of death, it adds some intrigue because there's something that makes him relatable and you can find some sympathy in, especially given how a lot of people fear death, but you can still find his actions be deplorable despite finding it relatable simply because what he does is horrible. While I personally wouldn't list him as a "top ten greatest villain of all time", watching the film without context of the first three, and also watching the other characters in that film, he does kind of stand out and has his presence known for sure (though I would say Barbossa sticks out far more and I love his character to bits). Blackbeard's pretty effective as a villain.

Tell you that I’ve played too much Sea of Thieves without telling you I’ve played too much. Not even a min in and I hear Sea of Thieves Fog sounds! That threw me through a loop! Quite appropriate for the content though!

I can’t believe I’m about to defend On Stranger Tides, but here goes. I’d argue that Blackbeard is a foil to Barbossa - where Barbossa had immortality but little remaining humanity, ultimately sacrificing the former for the latter, blackbeard is the reverse, willing to sacrifice his daughter for his own longevity. Barbossa sets aside his personal goals to secure a future for pirates, but Blackbeard is ready to sacrifice the future, in the form of his daughter, simply to serve himself. If Barbossa is depression, Jones is heartbreak and Beckett is control, Blackbeard is fear (largely, of death)

Awesome video!

Salazar did say his father, grandfather, and great grandfather where killed by pirates

Loved the writing of this video!

I love the fact that you point out that Will was tested in a similar fashion to Davy Jones and that, unlike Jones, he never considered betrying Elizabeth when he believed she had kissed Jack. He even offered to help her get Jack back when he thought she was in love with him. Jones otoh, had Calypso imprisoned indefinitely. And then he replaces him as captain of TFD.

Great video

The issue with Blackbeard is that it’s hard to understand why his crew even follows him. Barbossa and crew were bound by the curse, Davy Jones had unbreakable contracts, and Beckett promised power and security. But Blackbeard gave no motivation for anybody to follow him, and he clearly didn’t care about anybody’s wellbeing. They tried to explain this by having the crew unaware of what they’re getting into, but it just made Blackbeard’s threat feel a bit shallow.

There was a book written that explained why Salazar hated pirates: His father was an Admiral and also a Pirate Hunter, but one day the authorities discovered that pirates had given him gold and other valuables as bribery to continue sailing freely. This angered Armando because his Grandfather had been killed by pirates some years prior. His father was arrested for treason, and his mother was also sent away to labor at a workhouse and died sometime later. A year later he was released from prison, and when he returned home, Armando mercilessly killed him. This may or may not have been canon to the film, but I wish they had added it in.

u could argue that Calypso is the main villain

Someone pointed out the Pearl already sunk by Beckett but was restored thanks to Jack's deal with Jones. Jack used to be a smuggler for Beckett

Based video man

At 1:25 I think you meant to say “antagonist”. Besides that, really insightful video 👏🏼

With salazar i remember, his father and grandfather being killed by pirates, hence his hatered towards them

Barbossa-Guardians of foutune Becket-merchant aliance Davy jones-reapers bones😂

About Davy Jones, let’s not forget that he was the only antagonist of the original trilogy that Jack GENUINELY FEARED. He could joke and tease with Barbossa and Beckett, but Jones was the least tolerant of his antics and served as a shackle to the past for him because of their deal. Both Jones and Beckett would prefer to be under their own forms of control, but Jack is probably the most prominent pirate to oppose the both of them; thus it made thematic sense for the two of them to team up, as unwilling as it was on Jones’s behalf.

When I was watching this video, I completely forgot that I was steeping my tea, that's how enthralling it was.

So disappointing they wasted Anton Chigur like that ,great vid

Can’t not subscribe to someone who mentions the gaping plot hole about Jack’s compass. Amazing video too btw

great video... you sound like Alex Baldwin

At world's end is the most underrated Film in history

We could actually add that Salazar had kinda tragic backstory. He mentioned that his father and grandfather were killed by pirates and promised to clean the waters from them.

I think all these characters work for the fact like (minor spoilers for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish), way before that movie, At World’s End was able to have all 3 notable villain archetypes in the same film, and make them work tremendously. Like Goldilocks, Barbossa was definitely evil in the first film, but over time became a redeemed anti-villain that helps the heroes against a much bigger threat. Like Death, Davy Jones was a terrifying, sadistic force of nature that actually had some standards and other redeeming qualities. And last but not least, like Jack Horner, Beckett was just an irredeemable psychopath that served as the true threat to all the characters. At least that’s what I think. Bottom line, these movies and their villains are amazing.

Will was just lucky that the Dutchman was sailing for Isla Cruces right after the Kraken's attack. Despite learning where the key was and obtaining it, he never learned where the CHEST was buried, and although no one else knew where it was, Will didn't seem really inclined to search for it either. He and his father both just wanted him to "get yourself to land and stay there". He seemed to regard obtaining the key as the be all and end all of his quest to free his father. It was also pretty fortuitous for Will that during the voyage to Isla Cruces he stowed away on, the Dutchman's crew never employed the normal method of submersing it for ocean travel. All this is to say, as someone who went through the worst heartbreak of my life (at the time) when Dead Man's Chest was in theaters and can thus sympathize with him, I've always loved Davy Jones as a character, and he was mostly defeated by Will's good luck. I quite like your evaluation of Beckett. He wasn't a "greedy" villain in the usual sense of the word. He wanted to rid the seas of pirates because of their undisciplined and insouciant lifestyle. Order isn't always the best outcome, but despite both the movie and real life versions of pirates not being the evil antagonists after all, wishing to impose order on a world made disorderly by people isn't a selfish goal at all.

I would argue that Barbossa was more of a foil for Elizabeth than Jack, while Beckett was more of a foil for Jack than Elizabeth. Barbossa is clearly an educated man, going off of his ability to confuse Elizabeth (who, as the governor's daughter, must have had at least some education) with his verbosity ("I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means no."). Barbossa, despite being an educated man, still turns to piracy, likely because he just enjoys it. Elizabeth does the same. She, an educated woman, turns to piracy at first to save Will and later just because she likes it. Her story is the same, just a few chapters behind. As for Jack and Beckett, they're both strategic geniuses. Jack repeatedly outplans and is one step ahead of everyone, except Beckett. Beckett is also always one step ahead of everyone, except Jack. Beckett is who Jack would have been if Jack were a law-abiding man, and Jack is who Beckett would have been if Beckett were willing to break the rules.

I like how the trilogy villains had so much to say, but then has less to say about Blackbeard and Salazar, it shows how much Disney dun-goofed after the third movie

Well, you know how they could have greatly improved Salazar ? Here's my opinion if you are interested. It has been said that it's Davy Jones who gave the Black Pearl and the title of captain to Jack. But how does one meet Davy Jones ? By dying on the sea. Jack Sparrow was a younger and less experienced version of himself when he met Salazar who was an experienced and skilled pirate hunter during his peak (he almost ripped the sea of all pirates). Salazar should have been the one to kill Jack in order to make him meet Davy Jones. I don't think it would make Jack less charismatic because... 1) Jack has never been portrayed as a strong unkillable character. 2) Young Jack is not prime Jack we see in the first movies, there is room for mistakes made by a young man. 3) Jack has already died in the past, so it's not that much of a stretch. 4) His tragic death at a young age could add up to Jack's quest for immortality. 5) I don't think there is shame in being killed by someone who was skill enough to kill almost everysingle pirates in the sea. Davy Jones would make the famous deal with Jack. Back from the dead, Jack would defeat a shocked Salazar has it happen in the movie. And this would greatly improve Salazar. 1) He's one of the vilains who managed to kill Jack, making him a more serious threat. 2) This would give Salazar a more personnal reason to kill Jack. 3) Think about the relation between Jack and Salazar: they both kills each other and cursed the other to an horrible fate which lead me to point 4. 4) This give Salazar a bigger impact in the serie, without him, Jack wouldn't have met Davy Jones. Which mean no Black pearl, no confrontation with him and that lead me to the point 5. 5) By linking Salazar and Jack with Davy Jones, it creates a logical continuity. A cause and effect chain of event which solidify Salazar's presence in the story. Also, some people criticized the way that Salazar was unleash by Jack abandonning the compas. If we ignore "on stranger tides", we could say that the liberation of Salazar could be a consequence of Davy Jones defeat. The deal with Davy Jones could involve Jack taking his revenge on Salazar for killing him. So, the curse of Salazar could be the result of Davy Jones. In the favor of Jack, Davy could have cursed Salazar to remain stuck and his death break the curse, freeing Salazar. Or, Davy Jones, when Jack have the heart in his possession, Davy Jones could have created a contengency plan: if he was to die, this would free the spirit of Salazar to have his revenge on Jack, which would avenge Davy on the process. Think about the relationship between Jack and Salazar. They both kill each other, they both are responsible for each other's misadventures. They both feel wronged in a way. In his eyes, Salazar has won fair and square against young Jack, he cheated by taking Davy's deal. In Jack's eyes, Salazar not only took his live from him but also what he cherish the most: his freedom. It's because of Salazar that he made this cursed deal with Davy. Salazar is the man who started the chain of event who made Jack chained to his own ship as it was hunted by the kraken at some point. Can you imagine the dynamic between these characters ? And character developpement aside, can you imagine how this set up would link "dead man tell no tales" so well with the rest of the franchise ? Yes, we have Will's son who want to free him from the Flying Dutchman. Adding Salazar with this backstory could link things together even better. I believe this change on Salazar would wrap everything up in a more coherent way together. Thanks for reading.

Davy Jones... the man that can never be bounded nor ever chained... it proves it by dead man tells no tale. Also, beckett died for he tried to control Davy Jones and also the dutchman. (of course, will turner is the new davy jones but still beckett deserved his death)

What is the music at the end? It is beautiful.❤

Ah yes, Barbossa, the first Protagonist

This video is great and ngl yeah Salazar wasn’t the greatest villain backstory and didint hit as hard to understanding his reasons like they could’ve made the pirate Hunter backstory work if there was more of an explanation why he hates pirates instead of just following his fathers footsteps ngl Ik this isint part of the topic but in a way Salazar wasn’t the last villain topically he is in the movies but the story of the franchise continues in sea of thieves pretty much confused how Davy Johnes came back but I liked the detail where becket was a ghost but ngl the actual truly new villains in this story would be the gold hoarder the masked stranger and Duke idk if you know about the game lol so you might be confused but this was a great video man keep it up

Salazar’s grandfather and father were also pirate hunters who were killed by pirates.

The one problem I find is with Salazar, he does have a reason to hate pirates and the reason that it makes it personal to him is one line that could definately which is, "Pirates killed my father and his father before him." That line shows why he hates pirates so much, they basically killeds his family

Idk why they didnt make the prequels instead of the 4th and 5th movie... how jack lost the black pearl and how davy jones brang it back, how callypso was captured and how barbosa overthrew jack... its heartbreaking

I’ve seen the trilogy almost 30 times since the pandemic started. They’re far and away my favorite movies of all time. I think I have seen the 4th and 5th movies maybe once in that same time period

Beckett is my second favorite character, behind Barbosaa.

What I love about PIrates is the whole hidden history between Jack, lord Beckett why the pearl is black and the deal jack made with Jones… basiclly in jacks earlier days. He was contracted by Beckett to deliver cargo… when Jack found out the cargo.. was slaves. He freed them instead. “People aren’t cargo mate.” Beckett swore revenge and tracked the pearl down. And set fire to it.. blackening it and sinking. Then jack made the deal.. jacks always been a moral man. And the fact he COULDNT let will, his best friend die…if he could save him

Beckett and Sparrow are exes. Theory.
