    THIS is how you do CGI. I was a kid when I first saw Davy Jones on screen, and I was absolutely blown away. To this day, I’m still stunned how good he and his crew look given the time. The first Pirates movie has some kinda gross looking early 2000s CGI, but 2 and 3 just scream quality. If only Disney could have constrained themselves and left the franchise as an epic trilogy

      Between the first and second movie, a little program called ZBrush that allows you to sculpt 3D models as if they were made of clay and can handle millions of polygons to create micro-details became the industry standard (before then I think it's biggest claim to fame were the wings of a vampire in Underworld 2, Dead Man's Chest was among the first to use it for full characters). Coupled with new ways of rendering realistic lighting that, if I recall correctly, were developed by the studio that did the effects for this very film, the jump in quality was like Thanos, inevitable.

      @@joevenespineli6389 that’s the thing though, there were limitations. The scenes in pirates 2 when Jones’s crew where on the island in broad daylight admittedly didn’t work as well and they recognized that. Davy Jones is an absolute master class of special effects, his crew didn’t look nearly as good as he did but in the context of the film they hid the limitations well. Part of it is also that I’m just kind of a sucker for those movies, I admit there’s some nostalgia, but his monstrous look paired with genuinely good writing created a memorable villain that they could never really overcome. With 5 Captain Salazar felt like they tried to recreate Jones but forgot everything that made him so memorable and threatening

      A funny detail I also noticed was during the scene when the Flying Dutchman dove beneath the waves to initiate the ambush, and you get a camera angle behind Davy Jones as the ship sinks. If you look closely you can see the tentacles holding Davy Jones’ hat down as they plummet through the water so it doesn’t get washed away. Really interesting little detail that wasn’t necessary to add whatsoever, just shows how much the animators and artists loved their work.

    Davy Jones probably falls into the category of tragic villain.
    He wasn’t always that way and is basically a love-sick, heartbroken man who repressed these emotions with rage and cruelty. This makes it so tragic.
    I also hold Calypso partly responsible as she promised she’d meet him for that one day and then ditched him. “It’s my nature” isn’t really an excuse.
    His story is perhaps one of the best character stories in PoTC.

    The one thing that always struck with Jones is the rhythm of his peg leg. When you hear it everything else goes quiet. The liar's dice scene is a good example. As soon as Will says his name it goes dead quiet and the sound of the leg hitting the deck above can be heard. There was no way Jones heard his name over the din below deck and yet he did. He is uncanny and the fact that he does most of scenes at night seems to add something that was not as present when he was in daylight in the third film. It was kind of mirror that he was no longer as menacing because someone controls his heart. Plus that part where he moves through the wood of the ship during the maelstrom fight is crazy.

    Becket had contracted Jack, back when he was a nobody with a no-name ship trying to get started as a captain. His first contract had been to haul a bunch of slaves as part of the triangle trade. Jack refused and set them free.
    *All 100 of them.*
    As punishment, Becket hunted Jack down, set his ship ablaze, forcing him to watch as its hull blackening from the fire until it sank beneath the waves, and finally, branded Jack a pirate.

    What hurts the most about Davey Jones is that he's one of the better characters in the series where the sequels around him aren't nearly as good.

Both are evil and cruel, but when Daby Jones knew he was about to die, he reacted in anger and joy when he hurt someone close to Jack. When Beckett knew he was about to die, he froze up. Jones was emotional, Beckett was cold. Both were heartless

    Can we take a moment to appreciate that we're watching a video anylizing a villain from a franchise based on a theme park ride. The reason I love the Pirates series (the first three) is because they didn't halfass it in any department especially with the writing and they very easily could have. Many will disagree but I think the original trilogy of Pirates movies is one of the most perfect action adventure trilogies ever made.

    One day Calypso literally just had to show for one day out of a hundred. If she had shown up that first day and been absent every other Jones likely would’ve kept on loving her unconditionally. “I love her and she loves me one day she’ll be there waiting,” but merely for her capricious whims she was absent the one and only day that mattered. Thus Jones came to know, “she wasn’t there, she’ll never be there.”

  • @Luke101

    As a sugestion, I'd like to see an analysis on Titan, from Megamind. He's a bit of a meme right now, but I think he breaks the mold for supervilains in a unprecedented way. I mean, what other big main villain can be both cruel AND stupid? His pettiness alone makes him a very unique kind of villain.

    • @speedracer2008
      @speedracer2008 2 года назад +3

      Tighten is scary, because of how stupid he is. He thinks only of himself and his desires, without thinking of the consequences of his actions. This means he has no problem using his superpowers to harm anyone who prevents him getting what he wants. That makes him scary. He has very human problems (selfishness, entitlement, anger issues) that are only amplified by his superpowers.

    Brilliant. You absolutely have to do Cutler Beckett as well. He's easily the most interesting and entertaining villain in POTC, in part due to his mysteriousness, as we learn next to nothing about him. He's basically the Lex Luthor of the sea and a dyed-in-the-wool sociopath and megalomaniac, as well as a war criminal. If he were alive today, he'd definitely be tried for crimes against humanity.

    I, for one, would love to see you do an episode on Q from Start Trek. The psychology side of things might be difficult, since he's essentially an omnipotent and immortal being, making him think very different from other sentient life in the series, but it would definitely be interesting. There is also a good argument that he's not evil at all, though he's certainly very much a villain in a lot of the show, or at the very least, the Heel to Picard's Face (and to a lesser extent, Sisco and Janeway's as well).
    Regardless, fantastic work as always man. Keep it up! Your videos are amazing one and all.

It is justicefiably that a man would become so evil after what he went through, but if it was a normal person, he/she would normally just be depressed or something, but I think there was a sideeffect becuase he removed his heart cause he couldnt handle the pain caused by calypso, and the sideeffect was his anger! so no heart in body, means no remorse or feelings for ANYONE else, so now he could trick and kill others without feeling too and thats why he were able to do it. Now without a heart he was no ordinary man, which feels bad for killing others, but now he didnt feel that way anymore.

    The 2nd film only showed Jones as a somewhat terrifying character, but the 3rd film revealed much more and gave him a reason for his cruelty.
    I believe villains with a downfall story make up for the majority of the great ones. I personally think it may be because you can understand how they got there, without saying you agree with their actions. Sometimes I wonder if there's also an inborn desire for redemption, and you can allow yourself a glimt of hope in characters like that, and that they'll see the error of their ways, but most of all look forward to justice being served.

Blackbeard in our world was only actively pirating from 1716-1718. With this knowledge along with Blackbeard dying by the end of the film, we can safely assume that the movie takes place in 1718, just before Blackbeard died. We can then deduce that the prior three PotC movies take place around the same time. Just thought I would throw that out there to more clearly define when these movies take place.

    I love how they continue his story in the sea of thieves crossover (which is canon) by using the mess that is the fifth film and connecting it to the potc and sot story, that davy jones had to return, because the Dutchman had to have a captain. And in the final showdown with the Dutchman in sot, there is a moment where he falters, and wants to be with calypso as she tries to persuade him not that in the sea of thieves he has no history, and he has a clean slate, but he hardens, and decides that he doesn't deserve a second chance. but when you shoot the gunpowder on the ship, the "cap'n" (little is known about this character) knows davy failed him, and he stabbed his heart.
