Hi, What's Up? Cstoczyn (talk) 22:43, December 4, 2018 (UTC)

Hello mates! This is my first post in the POTC Wiki blog, so I wanted to speak with all of you present about this matter. It turns out that last year, Chris Schweizer was very kind and considerate to answer certain questions about the Pirates of the Caribbean comic book series published by Joe Books Ltd. Mr. Schweizer, as I mentioned, was very friendly to share some production details, so it occurred to me that maybe we could interview him and ask him even more details about the realization of his series of comics and maybe something more about his career as a writer.

Though his involvement in the franchise was little in comparison to other POTC crewmembers, Chris is still yet a crewmember of the POTC family, so I really think that it would b…

This is pretty sad news. I didn't really like 5 or had any interest in 6, but a reboot stops the current franchise dead in its tracks.

From the looks of it, it's going to be based on Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. Characters appearing in this trailer are Captain Jack Sparrow, Joshamee Gibbs, Hector Barbossa, Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner, and Tia Dalma.

Non POTC characters included in the POTC segmants are  Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Luxord .

As a guess, I imagine Davy Jones, Cutler Beckett, James Norrington, Sao Feng, Bootstrap Bill, and the other crewmembers of The Flying Dutchman could make appearnces as well.

Davy Jones makes thematic sense in the Kingdom Hearts series, as the situation with his own heart closely resembles that plight of The Nobodies , who are the bodies of those who have lost their hearts to darkness.

As a side note: The POTC franchise will receiv…

HI

I've wanted to do this for a while, not for any particular reason, just to see what the template would look like. Obviously, this isn't a real template, though. Just to clarify, I'm not sure if I got the expanded universe crews in the correct order, but the ones from the film obviously are.

Jack Sparrow's full crew

Captain: Jack Sparrow
Barnacle
Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III – Timothy Hawk – Constance Magliore – Jean Magliore – Arabella Smith – Tumen

Captain: Morgan
Wicked Wench
Bowen – Jack Sparrow – Jeff – Pirate

Captain: Jack Sparrow
Wicked Wench
William Banks – Nathan Bolton – Chamba – Frank Connery –Lucius Featherstone – Robert Greene
Sam Hopkins – Logan – Lemuel Matthews – Mulligan – Samuel Newton – Dan O’Shaughnessy – Jedidiah Parker
George Perkins…

As I did for all of the other films in the franchise, I am going to list every death in At World's End;

• 206 Pirates - thirty-five are hanged by the East India Trading Company at Fort Charles including a young cabin boy, another three are seen as dead bodies having previously been hanged, another seven bodies are seen being loaded into a carriage by EITC marines, five are shot dead by East India Trading Company soldiers as they break into Sao Feng's bathhouse, one is crushed by a door knocked down by marines, Park is shot in the head by Ian Mercer, one is stabbed then thrown outside by a soldier, one is stabbed by multiple soldiers simulataniously then thrown into a stall, one is stabbed by a soldier, five are shot dead by Company soldiers, L…

So my friend just recently had a baby, and he agreed to let me show the baby Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl for the first time. It may have taken a few weeks and a few more lies to convince him, but yesterday I introduced his son to the series. So, what did he think of it?

He loved it, or at least the battle scenes. He was (literally and figuratively) asleep during the other scenes. However, he did get quite scared during the scene where the Cursed crew are first seen as Skeletons. He hasn't spoken yet, but I'm hoping his first words will be something like "Jack Sparrow" or "savvy". Unfortunately, my friend won't let me show his baby Dead Man's Chest or At World's End until he's at least five because they have "gruesome" …

Okay. I don't know if this is even allowed to go on this wiki, however a wiki was founded in 2016 that is focused on showcasing the many minor and unnamed characters who appeared in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I just wanted to let any potential editors know that there is a wiki out there that accepts Pirates of the Caribbean minor characters, if their pages have been deleted in the past on this wiki.

Here's the link for anyone interested:

This is just a script I'm writing for fun. It's set between Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This is just the first scene. I thought I'd post it here just to see if anyone thought it was any good.

EXT: TORTUGA, DAY The sun rises over Tortuga as a carriage pulled by two strider white horses moves hastily through a mucky street, past an old tramp eating off of the ground. The carriage continues on its path, passing a wanted poster for Captain Hector Barbossa, the bounty now up from 10,000 guineas to 15,000. Inside the carriage is Barbossa himself, in his unmistakable pirate garb; black jacket, big boots, a wig beneath a massive hat with a feather atop it, and a belt with two flintl…

I'm new to the wiki, anything I need to know to get started?

Just like I did for the Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's chest and On stranger tides, I'm counting the deaths in Dead men tell no tales.

• 195 Pirates - at least three are seen aboard the Ruddy Rose shortly before the ship enters the Devil's Triangle and are all killed by the Crew of the Silent Mary, an Old pirate is stabbed in the stomach by a Cursed soldier, the skeleton of another pirate serves as the Queen Anne's Revenge's figurehead, forty-seven skulls likely belonging to pirates are seen inside the ship's cabin, nine are seen aboard the Red Dragon shortly before it is crushed by the Silent Mary, the decapitated heads of two pirates are seen inside a basket having previously been executed by the Guillotine, the dead body of a pirate is see…

I already made blog posts for deaths in both The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest, but I decided to skip At World'd End and do it last, as it has the most deaths by far. So, here's On Stranger Tides.

• 2 Spanish explorers - one dies of his wounds in Cádiz, Juan Ponce de León is seen as a skeleton in his ship.

• 1 Royal Guard - one is shot dead by Edward Teague.

• 80 Pirates - seven are seen lying dead as Joshamee Gibbs is prepared to be hanged, the skeleton of another pirate serves as the Queen Anne's Revenge's figurehead, forty-seven skulls likely belonging to pirates are seen inside the ship's cabin, the Cook is burned alive by Blackbeard's Greek fire, one is grabbed right off of a longboat by a Mermaid, Derrick is drowned by a mermai…

I recently counted up all the deaths in the Curse of the Black Pearl and posted them here as a blog post. So, I'm gonna do that for the second film, Dead man's chest, as well;

• 29 Turkish Prisoners - eighteen are eaten alive by Ravens, one is dragged into the Turkish Prison and likely killed, five coffins are thrown into the sea containing deceased prisoners, five more coffins are visible in the sea.

• 1 Raven - one is accidentally shot by Jack Sparrow as he breaks out of his coffin.

• 1 Hermit Crab - one is eaten by Bootstrap Bill.

• 10 Sailors - three dragged underwater by the Kraken along with their [[Turkish fishing boat|fishing boat], the skulls of three are seen on the Isla de Pelegostos on Jack's throne, another skull is seen by a cliffside, the …

So, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales surprisingly received rather good reviews, and, as a Pirates of the Caribbean fan, I enjoyed it on my first viewing. However, once all of the hype and excitement had died down, and I got the film on DvD, I rewatched it, and tried to view it through the eyes of someone who had never heard of Pirates of the Caribbean, and who wasn't a fan. And it was terrible. Cheesy dialogue, cliche characters, cliche story, cliche themes.

Everything was just so predictable, even Carina Smyth being Hector Barbossa's daughter was a predictable twist. The scene with Pierre Kelly and his pirates was pure filler. There was too much humor, and none of it was funny. It just felt like a remake of the great origin…

So, I was bored, and I decided to watch the Curse of the Black Pearl and count all of the deaths. I thought I would post it here as my daily blog post, so here it is:

• 13 Pirates - three are visible as skeletons hanged outside Port Royal including Calico Jack Rackham, the skeleton of a pirate is seen as Jack Sparrow and William Turner enter the Isla de Muerta. Matelot is stabbed and pitched into the sea by Maximo, Jacoby dies when the curse is lifted due to being blown up by Will Turner while still cursed, Weatherby dies when the curse is lifted due to being blown up by Will Turner while still cursed, Monk dies when the curse is lifted due to being blown up by Will Turner while still cursed, Mallot and Grapple both drown when the curse is lift…

Anamaria was a crew member serving aboard the Black Pearl. She had dealings with Captain Jack before she joined the crew, and used to be a smuggler with her sisters and her mother. Anamaria left the crew in between The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's chest for unexplained reasons, and it is never said why.

I personally think that she might have gotten tired of how Jack Sparrow was always getting into situations, and putting himself before others, and how the other crew mates stuck up for him when she complained, so she left to start her own life. She also appeared in some expanded universe material which I haven't read, but according to this wiki she didn't leave in any of them. Realistically, I think the reason she didn't appear in…

I'm a massive Pirates of the Caribbean fan, and I love all of the films (well, I love four of the films). However, there's no denying that the second film and the ones that came after it aren't flawless. Well, neither is the first film, but the others especially aren't. In this post, I will go over why the sequels aren't as well loved as the original film, and where they went wrong.

Jack Sparrow- Jack was memorable in the first film as being a good supporting character, but it was obvious that the film was really Elizabeth Swann and William Turner's story. However, in the other four films, Jack is treated as the main character, especially in the fourth film as Will and Elizabeth do not appear. In the fifth instalment of the series, though t…

I am very excited about the return of Davy Jones in PotC 6. Incase you happen to not know, the post-credits scene in DMTNT, features the return of who we believe to be Jones. After all, there are barnacles  where this mysterious figure was standing and there was a shot of a crab hand such as the one Jones has.

Cotton, Pintel, Ragetti and the many unnamed Chinese pirates in the Motley crew under Captain Hector Barbossa at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End are never seen after the films' end. Marty, Murtogg and Mullroy all left the crew, we know that. Murtogg and Mullroy joined the Crew of the Queen Anne's Revenge, and Marty joined the Crew of the Dying Gull. But, we have no idea what happened to the others. Did they die in Blackbeard's capture of the Black Pearl? Did they escape? Or did they simply resign beforehand? We now know that they weren't inside the bottle with the Black Pearl, as they weren't seen when it was released.

But then, Cotton's Parrot was seen inside the bottle in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, but di…

My ten favorite Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks, from worst to best. I haven't included any from the latest film, because I thought the soundtrack sounded off. This is my first ever blog post, so it won't be great.

10; 'Jack Sparrow' from Dead Man's Chest. Basically all of the main themes from the second film. I love it, but it's not my favourite.

9; 'Hoist the Colors' I like this one a lot. I got chills when I first heard it. I liked it in COTBP and DMTNT. I love the loud part (of couse), as well as the build-up.

8; 'Singapore Battle' I absolutely love this theme, especially the part that plays when the battle spreads to outside Sao Feng's fortress, as well as the EITC theme.

7; I'm not sure what the track is called, but it's from the sc…

Found this to be interesting :

"In an interview with Yahoo! Movies, series producer Jerry Bruckheimer indicated that plans for Pirates 6 could still go forward if Dead Men Tell No Tales does well enough in its home release:

'Well, I hope we can continue to make it, but you know we’ve been having so much fun just promoting this one right now that we’ll just have to wait and see. Hopefully it’s very successful on DVD as the other ones have been. Then hopefully we’ll sit down and see where we go.'

Bruckheimer also addressed charges that Dead Men Tell No Tales was a box office failure, arguing that the film would have grossed $1 billion worldwide if today’s currency exchange rates were the same as in 2011 when On Stranger Tides cracked the $1 bil…

This is just a test.

Blu-Ray: October 3rd

Digital: September 19th

From the Pirates of the Caribbean Facebook page.

As some of you may know, I've been following this series right from the beginning. I was a teenager when I watched The Curse of the Black Pearl in the theatre, now I'm a grown man, but I still love Pirates of the Caribbean just like that first day. And exactly because I love this series I will not pretend that everything is hunky dory when I see something wrong.

Right at the beginning of the movie, there's a beautiful scene of the Flying Dutchman rising from the depths of the ocean. It's not majestic like the Dutchman's first appearance in Dead Man's Chest, but it's close enough. And the scene looks like a promise of a wonderful movie, until the first problem appears. We see the stern of the Dutchman, and you can see the name of the ship on the stern…

SPOILERS AHEAD (obviously)

I think the prevailing theory as to how Jones returned at the end is that the breaking of the trident and subsequent removing of all curses including Will's binding to the Dutchman would have caused Jones to return because the ship always needs a captain, regardless of whether one is cursed to be that.

My alternate theory is that perhaps it's another instance of Jack's compass animating some of his worst fears. What if his two worst fears were related to the return of two cursed entities: Salazar and Jones? Although he seemed to have forgotten about the former, it still no doubt lingered on subconsciously in his mind, which resulted in his release from the Triangle. And maybe the latter was brought back at the same t…

Hi there !

I’d like to know your thoughts about the numerous retcons in the last movie of the franchise and discuss about that. The list is not exhaustive.

1. I remember ten years ago, screenwriter Terry Rossio stated that Will Turner was supposed to be freed from the Flying Dutchman after ten years of service, the green flash in the post-generic scene symbolizing his return from the world of the dead. So it seems writers have changed this statement for the necessity of the story. Let’s admit it. But why does he get the “doomed look” of the previous Dutchman’s crew ? Does it mean he didn’t accomplish his duty by carrying the souls of the men who died to sea (according to Calypso’s whishes) ?

2. In Dead Man's Chest, we learned that Jack Sparrow…

(spoiler) For those who have seen the movie already,

Barbossa is still alive because he has a Sword of Triton, right?

Can someone tell me where to find all the deleted scenes for Dead Man's Chest and At World's End? They don't appear on either the 2 disc Blu-Ray or 2 disc DVD except for "I like riddles" and "Two Captains, One Ship" on the At World's End DVD and Blu-ray Disc 2. Any help is appreciated!

Since the information on the articles has already been listed, obviously I can say it, but I must warn those who haven't seen the movie yet and don't want spoilers to avoid this page.

Though the spoiler tag at the top of his page as good as say it anyway.

So...

Without any further ado...

Hoping the critical points don't show up on the blog index...

Here we go.

There is a post credits scene in Dead Men Tell No Tales where Davy Jones's shadow is seen, in his tentacle form. Will wakes up, and is sure it was just a nightmare, though barnacles are seen on the floor.

Now, it is conceivable that he could be resurrected, because Calypso revived Barbossa already, and she was in love with Jones, although it was also believed they reunited peacefully in the…

Ahoy mateys!

The tracklist from DMTNT's OST was revealed (for those who, like me, are even more escited for the score than for the actual film) : 

1. Dead Men Tell No Tales (1:51) 2. Salazar (4:27) 3. No Woman Has Ever Handled My Herschel (3:59) 4. You Speak of the Trident (1:58) 5. The Devil’s Triangle (2:45) 6. Shansa (3:12) 7. Kill the Filthy Pirate, I’ll Wait (4:50) 8. The Dying Gull (1:01) 9. El Matador Del Mar (8:05) 10. Kill the Sparrow (6:16) 11. She Needs the Sea (2:32) 12. The Brightest Star in the North (6:00) 13.

That seems like a way better release than the one for On Stranger Tides (tha…

In Dragon Age:  The World of Thedas Volume 2, the chapter "The Seer's Yarn:  A Treasury of Tales for Children All Over" included this terrible story, "The Ptarmagin," in which a crazy mountain lord removed his own heart thinking it could somehow betray him, but for no reason, he didn't die.  Instead, it merely made him incomplete and unpleasant, and he put it in a gold cask that it could, for no reason, just keep beating from.

I kid you not!  All I could think was, "Did Disney approve this?"

Sorry, I just had to complain about it somewhere.  But if you believe you've ever ran across a PotC ripoff, this gives you a place to post about it.

Well, well, well. Look what we have here, Twigg. Captain Jack Sparrow! I mean, we have a new promo/trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Many scenes in it were already seen in the previous official trailer and the extended Super Bowl spot, but many were brand new, giving us more info about our beloved heroes and villains, both old and new. So, did you like the promo? Did you hate it? Tell us in the comments below. :)

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, let me tell you a story. In another age, a great man whose name was... Uhm, I can't recall his name right now. Let's just call him Walt Disney, shall we? Well, this Walt Disney guy created an amusement park called Disneyland, and in that park there was a ride called Pirates of the Caribbean. It's unique, unconventional, uncharacteriscally dark and-without a doubt-one of the most iconic theme park rides of all time. Well, yesterday, that ride celebrated it’s 50th anniversary. Yes, that's fifty years of swashbuckling adventurers, imprisoned mateys and singing bar patrons.

Ever since then, Disneyland’s Pirate of the Caribbean ride has become a litmus test for theme park ride success around the world. It's th…

Since joining the british royal navy in On Stranger Tides and losing his piece of eight which is Ragetti's wooden eye in between At Worlds End and On Stranger Tides I think it's very safe to assume that Barbossa is no longer a pirate lord. Has anyone else given this any thought? 

We've seen it, and we survived to tell the tale! The official trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is here. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Tell us in the comments below. :)

[Just to be clear, this pirate has every right to call himself a captain, because he is a captain of the good ship Sea Queen on the endless seas of the video game The Legend of Pirates Online. You should check it out ;) ]

Feast your eyes. This thing is massive. More photos here: http://brickset.com/article/26680/71042-the-silent-mary-revealed!

Come join us! All Pirates fans welcome!!

Tonight's a very special night, a night of violence and mayhem between opposing forces. Yes, I am talking about the Super Bowl...trailer for the new Pirates movie! Ha, see what I did there? Joking aside, we have an extended look at what Dead Men Tell No Tales has to offer to all the fans after such a long delay since 2011. Among the new looks, here's what popped out to me...

1. Jack Sparrow – They say, save the best for last, but in this case Jack must be listed first given his lack of presence in the teaser that went online months ago. We literally only see him for a few second, but gives a "pirate's life" before drinking some...rum(?) And what happened to him, I wonder: did end up cursed or did another sea monster sneeze on him ala the Kraken? T…

I'm just wondering, is the leitmotif that is featured at 1:49 in this track featured anywhere in the original/official soundtrack? I was curious about it because it has to be one of the best antagonistic themes in the series, and I couldn't find it anywhere in the OST. It'd also be nice if they utilized it again and some point.

I've never understood how anyone could like said villain, but I could be interested in someone who does if they think they can explain it to me.  As long as we all work out our differences politely, this thread could give us a place to discuss and understand our different viewpoints, and I'll try to make the dos and don'ts clear.  I'll start by explaining my opinion.

When he tried to scare me or otherwise get me in the heart, everything went wrong.  I couldn't look when he was hogging the camera, but only for disgust - seeing him didn't scare me the first time.  I'm not afraid of organ music either, and I really hated his tune.  I had no sympathy for him because he only had himself to blame for his pain (at least the physical one), as well …

Hi, I just wanted to say that if anyone is interested, the purchase of the first editions of the Pirates of the Caribbean comic created by Joe Books Ltd through the following link is already available.https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=38171339Remember that this could present information of the new film. Unfortunately, I can not buy them, since they have not arrived in my country. I publish it here, since I suppose this information is necessary to nurture the wiki. Greetings.

After 5 long years, we finally can set sail on the hype ship. For Disney has released the first trailer for the one movie we've all been waiting for, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales! In this first teaser, we get our first look at the terrifying Capitán Salazar himself. With his deadly ghost crew, Salazar shows his determination to find Jack Sparrow...there should be a "Captain" in there, somewhere.

And to put my three shillings on the matter, while I'm sad we don't get our first official look at Captain Jack, the teaser trailer is brilliant! As I wrote some place before, I did wait almost 2 minutes for Jack (the pirate or the monkey) to pop in or have something us Pirates fans wanted answered for over 5 years (i.e. our beloved …
