Sorry for writing another blog post so soon, but could someone please tell me how to REMOVE articles from categories? Some people, including myself, have added wrong articles to categories; but I'm not sure how to fix them. Thanks.
I just watched the movies
Hi! I just watched the first four movies for the first time! I saw the 5th movie in the theaters but I don't really remember it so I am going to watch that one next!
Pirates of the Caribbean has always been one of my favorite attractions at Disneyland! SOMETIMES, I would even call it my number one favorite. I remember when I first went on that ride, I went on it like 4 times in row. I finally decided to watch the movies and they were pretty good!
My favorite: I can not decide between the 1st, 2nd and 4th (basically all of them except for the 3rd).
Least favorite: The third movie (At World's End) was definitely my least favorite because I had no Idea what was going on. After staring at the screen for 2 hours and 49 minutes without knowing what…

POTC Interview with Terry Rossio 2020
, one of the two men behind the POTC franchise!]] On behalf of the PotC Wiki community, I thank Terry Rossio, the man who alongside Ted Elliott wrote the first four Pirates of the Caribbean films, for allowing me to interview him about his work in the beloved franchise he helped to form. Last year, I posted an interview request for Mr. Rossio. Some of you may complain that the interview took so long to be published, but be reasonable, as Mr. Rossio has been working on Godzilla vs. Kong, a forthcoming guaranteed blockbuster. He thanks our patience. After all, Mr. Rossio was very kind to me and answered all our questions.
Many thanks for answering all our questions, Terry. We can't wait to know more about your next films :)

The Loop and Fandom in 2019!
Hey guys!
I'm here to let you know that staff have exciting plans for the future of video on Fandom, including the future of what was Featured Video (FV) and what is replacing it.
A replacement for FV, titled The Loop, is set to be a mini-show that will be different for each vertical, highlighting the latest news from topics relating to that vertical. The best bit? These videos will use wiki articles and will encourage users to visit the wikis featured in the videos to find out more.
As a new episode of The Loop will be released weekly, you will see a wide variety of wikis of featured so there is every chance yours will be featured too!
Please see the latest staff blog for more details and feel free to ask me any questions!
Secondly, staff post…
Global Taxonomy, Templates, and JavaScript!
Hi guys! Fandom staff posted two important and exciting blogs recently which I wanted to make you aware of!

Interview Questions with Terry Rossio
, one of the creators of the Pirates of the Caribbean universe]] Hello mates! This is my second post in the POTC Wiki blog, so I wanted to speak with all of you present about this matter, which is about another interview. Last time, I made an interview with Chris Schweizer, who wrote the Pirates of the Caribbean comic book series. Now, we have here another writer. Ladies and gentlemen, now we have here to none other than.....Terry Rossio!!!
Yeah, along Ted Elliott, Mr. Rossio is one of the writers who created the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, which in turn is responsible for his wiki existing. Having wrote the first four films and at some degree the fifth film, Terry has left the series long ago and is now working on other projects, being…
Interview with Chris Schweizer 2019
Hello everyone. You have probably already seen this interview which X9 The Android did with Chris Schweizer, the man who wrote the Pirates of the Caribbean comic book series published by Joe Books Ltd. Well, here's that same interview, but in its original form, with all the illustrations. Enjoy.
Thank you very much for letting us, the PotC fan community interview you. As you may know, we, the fans, seek some contact with PotCVIPs so we can ask them for their experience working with this fantastic franchise created by the House of the Mouse, and discover more about the making of this world. Even though your work in the PotC comic books may have not been of the same size as a novel, your contributions to the PotC world are really important beca…
Happy birthday, Jonathan Pryce!
Happy birthday today to Weatherby Swann, the King's governor of
Port Royal... I mean Jonathan Pryce. Born on this day in 1947 in
Holywell, North Wales.
Here's a short bio from the IMDB:
- Subtle, incisive actor who can play Casper Milquetoast types and sinister villains alike. A stage veteran, Pryce studied at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company in such productions as “Measure for Measure” and “Antony and Cleopatra.” His early film credits include Voyage of the Damned (1976), Loophole (1980), The Ploughman’s Lunch (1983), and Something Wicked This Way Comes (also 1983, as Mr. Dark), but it was his performance as the timid clerk Sam Lowry in Terry Gilliam’s nightmare comedy Brazil (1985) that made…

Pirates of the Caribbean 6 possible plot
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT FOR POTC 6 AND PREVIOUS MOVIES!
So, I was browsing youtube a few weeks ago, closer to the begining of 2019. I found a person in the comments of one video mentioning something called: Pirates of the Caribbean: Sea of Wrath. So I looked it up on google and came across this article. https://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/ravenvice01/lists/pirates-of-the-caribbean-6-wrath-of-the-seas/66241/
Now I am not exactly sure that this will actually be the 6th movie in the franchise, considering to very possible reboot. I also don't know if this is a fan made plot or anything, but evidence suggests that it will be a true installment of the series.
It will feature some things hinted at by the last movie such as Posiedon being a char…
POTC Interview with Chris Schweizer 2019
On behalf of the PotC Wiki community, I thank Chris Schweizer for allowing me to interview him about his work in the Pirates series. Last year, I posted an interview request for Chris Schweizer, writer of the Pirates of the Caribbean comic book series published by Joe Books Ltd. Some of you may complain that the interview took so long to be published, but be reasonable, as Mr. Schweizer was working on a big project with strict deadlines and as such he needed time. He thanks our patience. After all, Mr. Schweizer was very kind to me and answered all our questions and he even send us some process sketches and concept art indeed to show us how his role in the franchise was. Coincidentally, he send me the interview with the answers just on April 6, …
Interview Questions with Chris Schweizer
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 be …
Pirates of the Caribbean Reboot being developed at Disney
https://deadline.com/2018/10/pirates-of-the-caribbean-reboot-deadpool-writers-rhett-reese-paul-wernick-johnny-depp-1202488160/
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.
POTC Confirmed for KHIII
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…
Jack Sparrow's full crew
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.

At World's End death toll
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…
Showing Pirates of the Caribbean to a baby
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" …
Come Help Out!
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:

Pirates of the Caribbean: A Fool's Errand
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…
Dead Men Tell No Tales Death toll
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…
On Stranger Tides Death toll
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…
Dead Man's Chest Death toll
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 t…
Why I hope they never make Pirates 6
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…
The Curse of the Black Pearl Death Toll
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…
Why did Anamaria leave the Motley crew?
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…
Why the PotC sequels went wrong
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…
