Don't know really. I know Johnny Depp has said he based the character off of Keith Richards. I don't know what other inspiration Disney or Gore Verbinski gave him.

ha. Yeah, stuff like that is really frustrating. You begin to wonder if they were even paying attention to the movie. It's crazy how unscathed this movie went. It deserved more backlash at the time. It was a slap in the face to any fan of this franchise.

Samuel L. Jackson.

I don't think that would be good for the overall health of Pirates of The Caribbean. These movies are four quadrant, appeal to the masses type of productions. That doesn't mean they have to be generic slop but I just think going for a story in that kind of a niche wouldn't be successful. I'm honestly fine with that story being largely left to interpretation. I feel like we got what we needed out of the little bits they gave us in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. What you're describing doesn't sound like something that can even use the title "Pirates of The Caribbean". How could you possibly stamp that name on a movie like that? and if the answer is 'you can't', then Disney probably aren't going to make it. Yes, I'm sure they want to tell good story's, but they also want a decent profit.

Do you not see the irony is speaking of ignorance while discarding my opinion, I'm assuming because you don't agree with it? Glad you like those movies. They just don't give me what I value in movies. I only mentioned them to serve as a comparison between the two franchises, because I feel there are similarities in their trajectories. You can look for other Star Wars comments in this comment section if you'd like to know why I don't like them. Bad taste is relative, and it certainly wasn't ignorance. I watched those movies the same as you, with my eyes and ears.

@@TableCreed Bro, I'm not arguing with you and I'm not subscribing to your newsletter.

Oh, if only.

Right there with you. Can't wrap my head around how someone can watch them and not like them.

Should've had it out of that Bottle a week after the events of Stranger Tides. I had no patience for that stupid bottle. It's ridiculous to think that Barbosa wouldn't have freed it for Jack sometimes after the events of Stranger Tides.

It's a shame they can't be forgotten though, only suppressed.

I don't see how it suddenly goes from good quality movie to 'disaster' between Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. I kind of look at them as one movie. I would think you'd have to either like them both or dislike them both but idk.

Seems to be a pretty common opinion.

Thanks. Hope you enjoy them.

It's a good scene. Crazy that they deleted it, but maybe they just wanted to leave Jack's backstory more ambiguous for the audience.

@@TableCreed it made the cinema therapy point about him not having a moral compass sound even worse. That line was the whole basis for his moral compass and all the decisions he makes as a character.

I think even with that script, it would have just been another Pirates 4. The thing about the original trilogy is that it had Elliot, Rossio, and Gore Verbinski in the writers room. When it was just Elliot and Rossio, we got On Stranger Tides, which was fine, but nothing special. Maybe I'm giving Verbinski too much credit but the movies had that special something when he was involved.

Yeah, I guess. I just can't really look past the silliness, so that scene means nothing to me. May as well be just be Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom. I don't see Will and Elizabeth in that scene. I see Disney jangling keys in my face.

Thanks. That's really nice of you to say. I'm glad you've chosen to gather around the table. When I posted this video, I think I had 46, so I'm really happy so many people are showing support towards me or even just this video.

ha, yeah, I just couldn't make this video without bringing them in.

But it's not like Jack just suddenly took up drinking alcohol in Pirates 5. He was a pretty big drinker before that, and it never altered his character too much. You could make the argument that he's just lost his purpose and that's why he's so weird in that movie, but idk, he doesn't even seem to be thinking at all. Like, why did he just let the Black Pearl sit in a bottle for years when it seems pretty common sense to go ask Barbosa to free it? Glad you liked him but I hate what they did to Jack. He's not even the same man anymore. It wasn't character development in my eyes. They just didn't understand why people liked him in the first place and wrote him in a way that they thought people would like.

I don't think the IP of Pirates of The Caribbean is over. They'll definitely reboot it, and I hope it's good, but this unique Pirates world is over. It's beyond saving.

As much as I can love any franchise, I will rarely ever go past the movies. The only books to movies I've ever read are Jurassic Park and maybe half of the Maze Runner book. I have a pretty good sense of imagination but I just never really got into book reading.

I've been fixated on WALL-E as well. I've been playing the music from it constantly.

27:39 and dont forget the writers Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot. Their absence in the 5th film is clear as day.

Not to mention they could actually pass as pirates and sailors. His new crew looked like they were pulled out of modern day. I wouldn't be praising Rossio and Elliot too much. They were the sole writers on On Stranger Tides and failed to deliver. What did the original three movies have? Gore Verbinski was also in that writers room. They needed him. Once he left, the quality dipped. I'm pretty sure Rossio and Elliot were involved in Pirates 5 in some capacity also.

Never played Halo, but I've seen other people compare Pirates to other franchises with a similar trajectory.

You've never seen it yourself? That's crazy if so. It has this really nice sweetness to it, and it'll leave you thinking about it afterwards.

Thanks. Will do!

As silly as that sounds, I wouldn't put anything past them.

ha, I love that rocking the boat scene. It was a bit of a gamble on Jack's part, but it was so funny when even Barbosa looks at the map and says "he's right!" and joins in. Again, just further showing how Jack operates on a different plain. He has a very unorthodox way of thinking, and yeah negotiation scenes with Beckett were always interesting.

That comment has caused me a lot of trouble, so I'm glad to see you liked it, ha.

@@TableCreed nostalgia is a hell of a drug But just remember a lot of people call space jam a good movie too.

Didn't make Pirates 4 or 5 good, did he? Johnny Depp needs a director like Gore Verbinski to bring Jack Sparrow out of him. I don't feel like he is actually as in-tune with Jack as we think. He's iconic in Verbinski's movies, but he's not even close to his peak when that's not the case.

I agree. Erase everything, don't actively search for a director, but wait for someone to come knocking at the offices.

I think the Orlando Bloom thing is important even if it was just for a short amount of time, because it's fairly indicative of how little everyone cared while working on this movie. I find Karina to be insufferable. She's a know-it-all who puts herself on a pedestal. She struggles to even consider the possibility she might be wrong about something. They give her skillsets she has no business knowing, just to make her seem more capable. She apparently has the commanding presence to silence a wild crowd on a whim. Even at the end of the movie, what is this growth? That she isn't as annoying? Honestly, I think even Johnny Depp has lost sight of Jack Sparrow. If you look at him doing those public appearances dressed in character, he's just acting like a total goofball. Maybe that's just because that's more suited to public appearances but I don't know. Seems very odd.

Yeah, he really was. He was the focal point, the person everyone went to in search of guidance.

Yeah, Pirates 5 is a crushing blow. Just no getting back up from that. A reboot is the only option as far as I'm concerned. They destroyed that world.

Disney intended for it to be product. Verbinski and his crew wanted to make the best movie possible. That's art to me. Once he left, that's when it became product, people just looting the IP for whatever they could.

No, a few others have commented saying they like them all. Wish I was in the same boat. I'd prefer not to hate something.

Thanks. I'm just happy working on improving each video. If people watch, that's just a bonus. It's really good for me to get my thoughts into a video. I feel like I can let my brain relax a bit then, especially if I'm talking about something I don't like.

No... and don't go searching for it. Just take my word for it. Definitely not a Pirates 5. In all seriousness, you should try remain shielded from it as long as you can.

Thanks. I'm actually a little unhappy with it but I'm glad so many people seem to have enjoyed it. Wish I could have known it would have done so well. I would have re-recorded most of the narration.

Would be very strange if I had a Dublin accent, I'll say that much. I don't really live in a place known for their distinct accent. I'm just glad you thought it was Dublin and not something worse. Won't name names but you know yourself.

I mean, if I worked at Disney, I'm never letting go of that cash cow. I'd probably let it rest, feed it, and give it water, keep it healthy, but they just kept pushing it.

It definitely defines a certain era of Disney, but I think most people will think of Peter Pan, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and stuff like that when they think of what movies embody the company best.

You're probably right. A blockbuster looks very different now compared to back then. The movies we get now make the Pirates trilogy look like an extremely high budget indie film.

@@TableCreed it’s crazy how much work went into films how many people dedicated their lives to the art and now it’s just all being replaced by cgi and Ai scripts I’m just blown away

@@2FRESH-4U Yeah, the advancements in technology has made people lazy in many ways. Studios think "oh, we'll just make our movie look nice and people won't notice how hollow it is", and then there's just the refusal to shoot on location, and having a 'fix it in post' attitude instead of just getting it right on set. If technology is used right, it can be great, but it can be a crutch.

Yeah I agree. I think it's only really noticeable once I start talking about On Stranger Tides until the end of the video, but I do hear it myself. If I knew this video would have done this well, I would have re-recorded the entire thing. I was kind of impatient when it came to the recording process. Instead of getting a good take, I would just splice different takes together if I preferred the sound of a different one. I'm being much stricter now. I think my last two videos have been much better narration-wise. I'm using one take for each point or sentence, even if its not perfect. makes for a better listening experience. I'm honestly not happy with the narration in this video, but that just means there won't be such bad narration again. I'm working on another long video like this and I really think it sounds good. I'm putting way more effort into the actual recordings now, after this video.

It's like a sport for them at this point. Everybody takes one and they see who can destroy them the fastest.

@@TableCreed they won’t stop till all IP has been destroyed.

Yeah, you'd think if you were hired to write a Pirates of The Caribbean movie, you'd go back and watch the previous ones just to know what you have to work with, but they didn't seem too concerned about that. They didn't care about this world. They just had their stupid little story to tell and they didn't care about what came before. You'd think with these franchises, they'd have someone well-versed in the lore of the world to proof-read the script for any continuity errors. That seems like common sense to me. You can't pay some pirates fan a couple thousand dollars to go through the script?

@@TableCreed On the contrary. One of the writers for the fifth movie was also a writer for the first three. I have no idea what happened here.

@@Bobb11881 Yeah, I'm aware of that, but I don't know if they were the head writer. It seems like there were a few writers on Pirates 5. I think there were two of the writers from the original trilogy working on Pirates 5. Who knows if they actually did anything or just got a writing credit because of prior work or maybe they just proof-read the script once in exchange for a writing credit. I don't know.
