Theorists, have you ever heard of Captain Jack Sparrow? I'm pretty sure most of you have. What if I told you he was in trouble? Like DEADLY trouble? No, I don't mean from undead pirates or Davy Jones himself. I'm talking about good old dehydration. That's right, this rum drinking pirate is DYING of thirst and it's all his fault!

Just thinking of the fact that he was dehydrated the whole time, it makes all of his feats even more impressive than they already were.

"You're without a doubt the worst Pirate I've ever heard of"
"But you have heard of me"
My favorite Captain Jack Sparrow quote
That one and
“Are you Jack Sparrow?”
“There should be a ‘captain’ in there somewhere”
We could all use that kind of confidence. Especially people in creative fields.
Reminds me of
"Burr, you disgust me"
"Ah so you've discussed me"
"I've got a jar of dirt, I've got a jar of dirt." still think of that every now and again.
savy
A neat detail to denote: Jack can only be seen wobbling around as he walks on land. At sea he always walks normally, almost like its inverted.
I think it's because he's so used to walking on moving boats that his legs automatically walk on land as if he's on a boat if that makes sense
That's exactly it, really
Since he's been on boats most of his life, he's gotten used to walking on a ship, his body and legs moving to the tides of the sea, but of course the land doesn't move like a swaying ship, so he's very wobbly on land compared to on a ship.
This is the stand-alone theory for why he walks like that. Could argue that it would just be less noticeable on boats if it WAS caused by dehydration

I read this the second that part played
"Maybe I am a pirate"
Some Jack Sparrow words to live by:
“The problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem.”
“Why fight when we can negotiate?”
“Crazy people don’t know they’re crazy. I know I’m crazy therefore I’m not crazy. Isn’t that crazy?”
Jokes aside, I’m glad Johnny Depp played the character and not Hugh Jackman.

Hugh playin sparrow would be weird..
"I got a jar of dirt! I've got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it!"
I will always love that line.
Fun fact: that scene was improvised by Johnny Depp because he forgot his lines and it was so good that they decided to keep it in the movie. Even the other actors were confused. You can see the confusion on their faces in the scene.
I went into this video expecting it to be a theory about how Jack never got off the island he was left marooned on and hallucinated the entire series as he died of dehydration. I'm leaving this video concerned that I could very well be severely dehydrated because I've had a lot of these symptoms for years.
Might be a good idea to visit a doctor before you attempt to drink as much water as possible. Wouldn't want to overdo it
You can die from drinking too much water as well you know in fact you can make your brain swell from drinking too much water too fast just a heads up
Drink water when your thirsty any credible doctor would tell you, especially when your in the heat
Does it get any better when you chug water?
SAME
The fact that Jack literally never sweats AT ALL makes me respect the people who made those movies even more, whether it was intentional or not
its not, every movie does that, main characters NEVER get dirty, they always stay as clean as possible so theyre attractive to watchers

LOL! That’s why you see that one colorful, clean character standing out of a crowd of generic charters from any anime
This gets crazier when you remember that Jack is a pirate lord, really he’s probably the weakest of the pirate lords when it comes to ships and crews but he genuinely seems to be the only one who almost always wins
Historically Pirates never match Naval ships in guns or crew but they used Speed deception intimidation and sometimes bluffing to terrorize Indiamen and Trade ships while evading something like a Navy Frigate. Generally pirate ships were fast small 1-2 Masted Merchantmen with Guns slapped everywhere they could fit. Even the Famous Queen Annes Revenge was a massive Pirate vessel as a 3 mast 36-40 gun ship. Which would put it in the 6th Tier of Naval Firepower. HMS Prince had 92 guns a small 1st rate in the early 1700s era.

Isn't the whole point of Jack Sparrow that he uses his 'madness' as a front to hide the fact that he's actually genius? I think it's perfectly shown in the On Stranger Tides scene where he escapes from the British by acting mad and yet actually perfectly setting up his escape. I don't think Jack is actually mad or sick at all but he uses it to make life easier
By making people think he's crazy also causes them to underestimate jack, giving jack the advantage
I think Jack is perfectly healthy but he has such a big brain thet he plays everyone making them think he's mad

The hallucinations are from being in Davy Jones' Locker. Being alone does funny things to ya, and ya can't die in the Locker.
@eioshen boboi unfortunately, this is likely not on purpose. I’m sure that Johnny Depp just had some handkerchief or something to keep himself dry
In a ship with no other crew, no supplies, therefore no food and no water. So being alone, yes, plus dehydration.
@@king69104 if he ever get sweaty, I don't think he'd mind and he'd just leave it alone til it dries. Cause he once fell on a mud and he didn't mind washing off under the rain before coming into a bar. Also he's a hardcore pirate who lives and breathe the sea, he's wet most of the time, so there's really no point in drying his sweat if he gets wet from rain and sea water a lot of times.
Davey’s old gym clothes have been known to have that effect
I think Calypso took such a liking to Captain Jack Sparrow (not romantically but because she found him humorous and interesting), that, she granted him excessive luck, longevity and bits and pieces of quasi-immortality (he can die from old age, etc., but not from ill health and luck keeps him safe from accidents and fighting and such).
It would explain why his health decreased in the fourth and fifth movie.
That and the fact the witch cursed him in the fourth movie well not directly cursed him but cursed all of barbosa's enemies
Wait... is this seriously the first time MatPat has done a Film Theory on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise? We need more of these.
@cqvio doli for me him and CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
"We" ?
My pirate will for always be Caiptain Jack Sparrow 😩🙏👌
I'll get the rum
Aye! Hope matpat can see this request. More Pirates of the Caribbean please! 😃
Not to say that he wouldn't start getting hallucinations regardless of what happened, I think one of the main reasons that he started having them in Pirates 3 was because he was in Davy Jones' Locker, which is supposed to mess with a person's mind. The fact that the hallucinations continue even after he's out of the Locker is probably a result of the dehydration making the Locker's effects worse than they would normally be.

He went insane due to isolation and the lack of water ... And he never quite got over it
@@toukoenriaze9870 But I thought he was always insane or at least acted insane
Wow the bots are terrible
I feel like this is the only theory I can think of that would make the portrayal of Jack even remotely acceptable to me in the fifth film. I really hated what they did with him in Dead Men Tell No Tales. My favorite thing about him is how people underestimate him because of his wackiness, but he's actually incredibly smart and knows exactly how to manipulate situations to get what he wants. He's always plotting and scheming --- especially in the first three films, and a bit in the fourth one. Sadly, in the fifth movie it seems like he's just stumbling through situations and has no idea what he's doing 90% of the time.
Yeah, they even say "his luck ran out"
The idea of everything he's done being pure luck is absurd, maybe he got lucky here and there, but the guy's clever enough.
@@mystica_spiral1332 Yeah, I've never understood why a lot of people say he only succeeds because he gets lucky. Just because he acts silly or is kind of wobbly on land doesn't mean he isn't smart. He literally manipulates Will for almost the entirety of the first film for his own personal gain and then uses him, Elizabeth, and Norrington's forces to set up the defeat of Barbossa and his crew. He proves pretty early on that he's quite good at taking the opportunities presented to him and making the most of them.
@@supremeoverlorde2109 the dude talked his way out of Davy Jones locker. With words! Not sword, not cannons, no gun, by talking!
Hi, MatPat!
I was recently watching a video where Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow went to a hospital to meet ill children- titled: "Johnny Depp as “Captain Jack Sparrow” sails into Vancouver to visit patients at BCCH [FULL VIDEO}"- at 7:14 in the video Jack says he's been out in the sun too long and cooked his brain!
Even the actor behind the babbling genius has confirmed your theory to be completely true!
Cheers!
Correct. Btw I'm just putting this comment because I'm deleting all my comments made when my channel was called Jack sparrow.
Jack Sparrow is the best, but I really feel like Davy Jones is a super well potrayed character as well. Idk if it's the actor, writer, director or the team as a whole that necessarily makes him so great, but lines like that "No you don't" or any of the lines during Liars Dice. From the Calm "I accept your challenge" to the humored "You're free to leave, THE VERY NEXT TIME WE MAKE PORT" That character is just so well done.
I feel like it's Bill Nighy doing most of the heavy lifting in this case. The effects are impressive to this day and the backstory and dialogue are spot on, but it's him giving Jones unhealthy levels of charisma and emotions.
That’s what makes Davy Jones my favourite movie character of all time
3 hours and you have 250 likes? Not bad Purp, not bad at all… also I agree; Davy Jones killed it.
ruclips.net/video/WxYH5CXbpYA/видео.html
Same actor in Underworld. His acting just grabs your attention and doesn't let go. Brilliant guy.
The fact that Jack's character was inspired by Keith Richards, and that Keith portrays Jack's father was just awesome.
@danny supersell Only if they're experiencing dehydration for the first time. Jack clearly has a bit of experience working around his lack of water problems.
"Have you been there?"
"Does this face look like it' been to the fountain of youth?"
"Depends on the light"
-- Best conversation in the entire franchise LMFAO
@danny supersell I have been dehydrated for years (something i'm trying to stop) and i am able to do gym and gymnastics perfectly fine
@@Angiesunshine13 I don’t think you’ve been severely dehydrated for 3 yrs you would have health problems for years
@danny supersell no man, u totally can have energy and be dehydrated. People do it all the time.
I’ve seen these movies more times than I can count, and while I agree that he probably is dehydrated, I think it’s a real combination of genius, madness, and illness. They say there’s a fine line between genius and insanity and I think his dehydration makes his jump rope with that line.
Though some of Matt’s points aren’t in good context. Two I immediately noticed are when jack stabs his double to intimidate the others and the scene where Will says Jack thinks they’re a hallucination, and when he can’t hop a fence. The first was while jack was dead, it’s the 3rd movie when Barbossa captains a crew to retrieve jack from what is probably a purgatory. This movie is filled with supernatural elements and at this point they are “beyond the edges of the map” so it only makes sense he’s stuck in a purgatory filled with copies of himself, a ship with no sea in sight, and yes even a goat.
The second, when he falls flat on a fence, was in the 5th movie. This is after we see him getting turned away at a bar because the bartender says he’s had enough. So he’s not just drunk, he’s wasted. He also seems to be more capable walking on a ship than on land, which checks out with sailors even today.
To wrap this up, I’m not dismissing this theory entirely, I think it holds a lot of good points, I’m just a nerd who really likes these movies and the characters.
Also, something no one seems to be mentioning is that at the start of the first movie when he arrives at port, the ship barely makes it before sinking almost completely. That's why he landed in that port, necessity. He very literally had barely any ship above the water to stand on. There's no way that ship could have taken him to any other dock at that port let alone a completely different port. Once he got to port I do believe that everything he did came down to luck (some good, some bad) & his experiences & skills at being a pirate.
Personally I think that in the first couple of movies he is both rather lucky & smart with only a few signs of dehydration & heat stroke but as the movies go on he looses most of his intelligence & the symptoms get worse & worse over time.
Me told a month ago by my doctor that I need to drink a lot more: "Alright, I'll try"
Me after watching this video: "I need a much bigger water bottle."
I like the way Davy Jones pronounces Jack’s name better. “Jack Sparrah!!!”

He will always be our Captain Jack Sparrow. With or without heatstroke.
I think that his curse of the first movie also help him survive all his water problems in some way and when he got rid of it the symptoms started to appear faster (Kinda like the mutant powers of deadpool helps him survive his cancer)

Yeah, and he’s not complaining about how he’s going crazy during quarantine. I’m sick of him always saying that.
you can physically see the physical strain being a pirate has on jack's body since the youngest we saw him was when he out smarted salazar the one who almost wiped out all the pirates but was tricked by jack, in the scenes where we could see him he was nimble on his feet and his mind was fast hence why he got the name sparrow.
he was loud fast nimble and annoying, hence sparrow.

That’s not true. Jack got his name from being named Sparrow, cause like, if Salazar gave him the name Sparrow right as he was killed, how would Jack know the name. Salazar lied.
@@leewooboi i never said salazar gave him the name
I have been highly dehydrated once because of alot of factor. And it was for 2-3 hours: I was loosing balance, confused all the time, not able to speak properly and had a terrible headache. So, I can beleive that being in a state of dehydration for years can cause many many damage.
Only MatPat can say "and what we're most interested in today: heat injuries." and no one blinks
I never understood the “ruining my childhood” part of film/game theory, showing me that waterbending is more realistic than I originally thought, bringing vg mechanics into the real world, if anything it just makes those beloved shows, movies, and games even better w/the knowledge they just might be real
Among us
Allow me to be your sane human reply.
@@crispychin3096 thank you good sir I will join you
bruh the replies lmao
@@TriNguyen-he7xk Do you know what a theory is?
The thought of him being dehydrated is smart and logical, but I still think that some of us just still want to believe that the reason for everything he does is just because hes a crazy drunk person that doesn't think of consequences to his actions or in other words, he is an awesome person we want to have the skills of.
yess i agree
both cases kinda go hand in hand don't they ?
We can say both. At times he can geniunely be dehydrated (scenes MatPat pointed out where he doesn't sweat). But maybe after visitng a city where he can find some water he goes from brain-fog genius to drunken genius
He may be a bit crazy, but he is a certifiable genius. He uses his air of foolishness to lure others into a false superiority, then uses it against them. As much as he acts like a drunken fool, he's really the smartest man in the room.
If you think he isn't aware of his consequences then you naturally underestimate him drastically. He always let's on that he's slow and making mishaps when he's actually two to three steps ahead while others are a step behind. Sure there's a mishap on his tactics once in a while but he would come up with an impromptu counter (when he can, not always) and gain back the leverage. How do I know this? 🤔 I'm relatable to him and let others think I'm weird or crazy 🤪 so that they underestimate me. Joker is also somewhat similar, only he has antisocial personality disorder.
In Pirates 4, there actually had a scene where they talked about Jack's escape plans. In the scene, Barbossa said he was planning an escape route and asked Jack "Isn't that how you do it?" To which Jack answered with a fake/hesitant yes and then followed by "Or sometimes I just improvise"
I think Jack said what he said because he likes being thought of as a genius and the greatest Pirate Captain in the world, but deep inside he knows that for the most part he was really just making things up as he go along. :)
I think pirate talk is the one accent all people can just naturally slide into, and the most fun. Sorry, Jack's hallucinations were because at that time he was a maybe alive maybe not prisoner in Davy Jones' private purgatory, with no one to talk to BUT himself, who he could never con.
It never occurred to me that dehydration is the source of Captain Jack’s odd behavior. I consider it a miracle that he was able to make it to his 50s.
Honestly I think Johnny Depp playing captain Jack Sparrow is the best casting in film history and is the most believable an actor could get with a fictional character.

I feel like this isn't just a theory but just a pure fact in the movies, I mean the guy literally emits every trait of being drastically dehydrated haha
There's just one teeny Tiny Detail that completely derails this Theory: Jack stops Wobbling when he's on a ship.
When he's on land he Sways and Stumbles around all the time, But as soon as he's on a ship, that stops and he Suddenly becomes the only person standing Straight with no risk of loosing his balance.
Yes, this is a detail pointed out by another YT channel. His swaying is akin to a submariner walking about ship.
surprised i had to scroll down at all at this time to see this comment. i thought that this had already been established.
I don't think it really derails the theory that just means that Jack can only stay steady on boats and that instead jack has all but one symptom which could be explained by him being dehydrated for so long
Actually matpat says this in the video as to why he’s also dehydrated
but then, why did he fell with the jar of dirt? bcs he has a jar of dirt :P
"Imagine feeling groggy, like you just woke up, but all the time"
Isn't that just adulthood?
That's why adults drink coffee, Maxi
That actually gave me pause I was like "Wait I'm dehydrated?"

@@PKMNResearcherSkyler some of my favorite theories all include punnet squares. Peach is dead and Rosalina’s mother, SpongeBob is adopted, who is ash Ketchum’s father. All of them are great.
Most historians focus on starvation during these times, so they frequently forget about dehydration, which was as big as a killer as starving. One other factor, is that fresh food on wooden vessels during the age of sail, could and did get contaminated by seawater, anyone devouring this food will get dehydration, so fresh water remains the lifeline of any ship at sea, historic and current.
As a sailor I can really confirm this. Sailed in the Caribbean on a steel vessel. AC was out, provisions were running low, including the water. Luckily, ships these days have a desalination plant, but drinking the tap water aboard is a last resort because it's not really "fresh" so to speak. So in order to make it drinkable, we'd boil it and in some cases add chocolate milk powder or lemonade syrup. Sailors these days have it hard, but it's not as nightmarish an affair as during the Golden Age of Sail.
It wouldn't surprise me if heat stroke got to captain JS, but I believe that another reason of why he walks the way he does also involves the fact that he's almost always on a boat that is swaying back and forth all. day. long. And him walking like that helps keep his balance.
7:41 at this point in the movie Captain Jack is dead and is in Davy Jones’ locker, because of this the hallucinations may not be because of his dehydration but because he is stuck in some kind of purgatory and these hallucinations may have continued after he left because he is meant to be dead so the torture is following him.
The reason he went to Port Royal in the first movie is his ship wouldnt last long enough to make it to anywhere else. The point he steps onto the dock his ship is completely underwater aside from the mast meaning if he went anywhere else he would have to swim the rest of the way
Also we don't know where Isla De Muerte is, but it's possible that Port Royal is in an ideal location to journey there from
8:20 I couldn't tell you where but during an interview with him years ago Johnny Depp said one of the ways he prepared for the character was by wearing his costume in a sauna for an extended period. He described how you started to think different and moved like Jack does instead of normally. After watching this video I am now pretty sure Johnny Depp gave himself IRL heatstroke preparing the character. But hey, can't argue with the results.
edit - 13:48 Should learn to watch before commenting lol
Jack: Does anything
Matt: DEHYDRATION!!!!!
Some people think he could predict all his enemies moves. But no he just risked and all times he was successful. I think that makes him more humane

Honestly I really want to know the more historically accurate things about pirates because pirates are so romanticized that most people don’t really know too much. Why are pirates looked at in history classes because they were a big part of the time period when everything was done on ships crossing continents and going from port to port.
We actually had an entire school year dedecated to pirates in, I think, secound grade. Our actuall teacher had injured herselfe by acidentaly nearly cutting of her finger while cuting paper with one of those guilotine like cuter machines, so we had a supstitute teacher for the entire year, and she made each and every class pirate themed! We even went to one of the near by pirate themed exhebitions on a class trip, it was wild!

Poor Sparrows brain is both dehydrated and pickled at the same time.
Did everyone see that because I won't be doing it again
This theory kind of fits with another theory that the entire 5 movie franchise is just Jack's hallucination after his first time being stranded on the island. All the stories we are watching are just live hallucinations for Jack. That's why he's getting more slurred as the movies go on. Jack is getting closer to his inevitable death of dehydration on the island so the motor skills of his hallucinated self stagger also. It explains why he's so lucky because Jack is creating the story he's always going to come out on top in the end. It would explain why his character in all the hallucinations doesn't sweat because he isn't currently capable of doing it so he doesn't imagine himself sweating in his hallucination.
And on the offset that it's not a hallucination? What if he is experiencing the adventures, but not the supernatural events?
Okay but I pose to you this- alcohol withdrawal. Minus the sweating, it does cause people to act and sound drunk when they are actually sobering up. I've worked in the Emergency Department before and I can tell you that the "Jack Sparrow" sorts do come around, and are most prevalent when they claim they had a life long drinking habit that they either couldn't substain or tried to quit, which lands them in the ED because of how sick it can make you. But it also explains why Jack is how he is even when sober. I've also seen dehydration before. Dehydrated people lack energy. They'd pass out to sleep before they needed to sweat if they were doing hard laborous tasks like Jack does.
I would except a mix if drunkenness/withdrawal and dehydration though.
Honestly a mix of the three is probably more likely than any one explanation possibly could be
To be fair both would no doubt lead to some degree of permanent neurological damage also. Water is essential and ethanol is a poison, chronic deficiency of the former and excess of the latter doesn't bode well for the health of the nervous system. Bear in mind of course that the chronic dehydration would also no doubt impair the bodies ability to metabolise and eliminate the toxin also. Certainly the elimination as the Ethyl Acetate from metabolism itself a CNS depressant is excreted in urine which is a problem as chronic dehydration doesn't make for the best kidney function.
He may be going crazy from dehydration and rum, I love him as he is. Also, another thing is I always considered Jack to be hiding more secrets (whether he knows of them or not). He has such incredible luck and endurance - it's beyond human. It's why I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Jack was still lingering across the seas somewhere, seeking entertainment and treasure years after he would logically last. And even if he dies, I think he'd just manage to stumble back again to the land of the living. So with all this, the legend of Jack Sparrow would be like an urban legend, that people don't know to be true.
This is now my favorite urban legend.
It seems more like he actually is smart and has a plan for everything to me.
*Capitan Jack sparrow*
I showed my mom this and she was completely denying it the whole time saying "its just acting" like, yes i know but its looking deeper into the actual character.
Honestly, I don't think the film writers thought of it, but I like how it certainly looks that way. Nice video btw
I'm still convinced that he is also a bit of a genius, almost always drunk, and has a severe case of sea legs. I guess I'll just add being constantly dehydrated to the list of things wrong with him...
Honestly, considering he's always dehydrated makes everything he does all the more impressive than it already was.
*Forgot to add that he is also extraordinarily lucky.
- "You are mad"
Jack: - "If I wasn't, this would probably never work".
There is a saying where I'm from: "the Luck of the children and drunks" and something called "The luck of the crazy/mad" .
I believe Captain Jack Sparrow is tapping into that luck, but sometimes he does it by acting more crazy than he is at the moment.
Jack Sparrow knows the supernatural stuff at the sea is real, and sailors have always had superstitions regarding luck. He is basically creating a "good luck spell" constantly, with his behavior.
It is my competly serious headcannon that some characters, notably Jack and Barbosa subconsiously understand that having very extreme personality traits put them on par with the supernatural forces of the world they inhabit.
Jack needs to be crazy, and Barbosa needs to be overdramatic, or they would be just as killable as any random crewmember.
This is very close to my own theory: Jack is generating "the Luck of the children and drunks" also sometimes called "The luck of the crazy/mad" .
I believe Captain Jack Sparrow is tapping into that luck, sometimes by acting more crazy than he is at the moment. Dude knows the supernatural stuff at the sea is real, and sailors have always had superstitions regarding luck.
He is constantly making a "good luck spell" with his erratic behaviour.
And this, world, is why I love Film Theory. The science behind content that makes you want to watch said content.
Can we get more Pirates theories? This was very interesting
These movies are so good. I remember when the first one came out and went to the theaters to see it with my family. The only reason my grandmother took us was because she thought it was just another Disney movie with pirates in it. Man was my little brother terrified for days😂
Just want to say, I think this was one of your better episodes lately. A firm theory with plenty to back it up, a bit of good biology science, and not much fluff or tangents. Really stuck to your point and kept it going at a steady pace. A+
Reminds me of old film theory, not that he is bad now, but quality certainly decreased
@@charlestonianbuilder344 A very long time ago he made a poll on if viewers want lore videos, or science videos. The overwhelming majority chose Lore, so that's just where the channel headed for a while. That is until Austin(??? The annoying guy that starts off his videos with "Dear Ubisoft" or whatever)
@@derpyduck5088 i did not know that!
@@derpyduck5088 it's funny because a long time ago I'd agree with it
But today I've become more interested in the whole "applying real life science to fictional mediums" type theory video
He is probably the best pirate I ever herd of
Ah but you have heard of him
I watch every single film theory video. I watch at least three and night. Whatever either way you’re down to go to bed there’s something about the vibe of Star Wars, Lord of the rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney and their theories. I’m just laying down solid content. Love your work keep it up.
I love these films, well the first three anyway. When I was younger I used to watch 1-3 almost religiously. Nothing will change my mind on them, and it’s a shame how they, and Depp, have been treated by Disney.
It wasn't just Disney, it was all of Hollywood (especially Warner Bros).
Same, I hate that 5 is even considered canon
@@blahthebiste7924 fr! Could argue the same about 4
Same! I say the lines alongside the character bc I learned them all and whoever I'm watching it with hates it 😂
@@lis7063 4 isn't a problem, it's just not good. 5 actively retcons stuff
Man I love this series. Pirates all day. Everything said here makes sense to me (including the previous notions of sea legs and drunken-ness). It's amazing how Captain Jack even keeps up with remembering that there's a pirate code (actually just loose guidelines) to follow whilst on his adventures. This diagnosis also gives credence to why it's so easy for Jack to believe in the legends he hears about and seeks them out only to become involved with said legends to the point of them having disdain for him. Makes for wonderful and adventurous times though. .... Drink up me hearties Yo ho!
Lore.

Kind of ironic considering Captain Jack is basically almost always surrounded by water…
14:12 you aren't a gamer if this hasn't happened to you at least once
Personally I believe all the theories are true and work in tandem. He's a very lucky drunken genius who's half mad.
I think that’s a perfect description of Jack 😆
Question: Is Jack Sparrow like this because he's drunk, crazy, or dehydrated?
Answer: Yes
@@caseyoung1527 that'a be all three actually mate.
He's not mad, he gives the vibe of being mad. He's fully aware of his actions.
I absolutely love these movies and I'm delighted to see matpat do a theory for it!

Ikr
Same!
I love them too. Also, I think you just broke the record for attracting bots/spam to a comment. 7 of them! One of them commented 3 times! I've never seen so many under one comment reply section.
2:13 He is not wondering if Jack is lucky 🍀 or a genius
He is in awe, asking to his superior officer if Jack is a logistical genius (every possibilities planned in advance) or a tactical genius (adapt/makes it up as he goes)
The dehydratiom makes ALOT of sense actualy.
At my work during the summer (i work in a cookies factory with ovens on 24/7 and in the summer it can get at area's between 30-40 degrees celcius.) There have been multiple cases of people being dehydrated and falling unconcious or losing stability when walking easily.
Ah yes nothing like starting a day with a theory about your favorite character dying out of *dehydration*
Dude the bots are awful
I feel sorry for you
I mean, "ruining your childhood" *is* in the channel slogan. 😂
It's amazing that they seemingly put this level of detail into these movies.
Or they just wipe his sweat before every take
@@joesmith-tz9tq that's very possible, lol. But it seems like they made the decision for other characters to be sweaty? Idk, I love Matt, but sometimes he reads a lot into things. 😆
@@joesmith-tz9tq Dude, it's a movie. If they wanted to, they can also wipe the sweat from every other actor before a take. What's odd is they did so only with Jack. Why would they go out of their way to break the immersiveness of a movie by doing so? Unless it's the other way around and Jack being bone dry is actually adding realism and a nice detail as he is actually dehydrated.
This video made me drink a bunch of water lol. Stay hydrated!
I thankful I watched this while drinking so I could be reminded to hydrate. Thank you for your service, Matpat!
My take away from this is that although Johnny Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow is world renowned, it's still underrated
When I was younger I loved the show Danny Phantom, and while watching film theory I had wondered if you did one on that show. Which I think would be super interesting! Like finding the amount of volts it took to fuse ectoplasm into Danny’s DNA or even what ectoplasm is or the closest known thing to it. Just an idea😊
I watched that show too..it was my fave that Butch made
@@nightmarionne9692 im guessing you replied to a wrong comment
OOOHHHH! That show was my childhood!
I’d like to think Jack was never the same since his time in Davy Jones locker. His perception of what’s real or not is probably always something he’ll struggle with.
Watching MatPat become more snarky and he's just becoming a flanderized version of himself is pretty great.
I've watched the original trilogy hundreds of times and never noticed Jack is the only one who didn't sweat, that's interesting maybe the dehydration theory is actually a fact?
@@mr.holodoc7406 Most of the time, a character's sweat isn't even real sweat from the actor. It's practical effects and/or CGI. If they wanted Jack to sweat in a scene, they would have, but they intentionally did not.
Me to MatPat: “You’re mad!”
MatPat to Me: “Thank goodness for that, 'cause if I wasn't this would probably never work.”
Funny that I was rewatching At World’s End yesterday. Honestly, despite some confusion, I still love the main trilogy.
It's kinda funny how the three other replies on your comment are bots
The main trilogy will always be in my top three favorites. I didn’t hate On Stranger Tides but compared to the original three it isn’t as good. As for Dead Men Tell No Tales, I like to pretend that one didn’t happen.
@@TheCommanderSpitz Same here, the main three will forever be one of, if not, my favorite Disney Trilogy. Johnny Depp stole the show, and Barbossa, Davy, Elizabeth, and Will were awesome.
I am an absolute POTC nerd, voice any confusion you had and I can explain it
@@blahthebiste7924 Well, one the main questions I have: did Jack actually want immortality? Cause that seemed like a driving point for him aside from getting Davy’s heart
actually matpat got it right since Johnny depp actually said that his mind is fried in his description of jack sparrow in his trial
Thank you Mattpatt for scaring me into drinking water, I'm actually reaching my goal now😂
This would have been amazing character acting on Johnny’s part if he has taken this into his character and done research of pirates. Well done to Disney and the directors. And well done to Mat Pat for this interesting theory
But in dead men tell no tales, they showed a young jack sparrow before he became a pirate, say probably before the story of the heat madness and although he was a bit sane then , they still showed signs of his charisma,his destructive but genius thinking, I really do think Jack is a genius but he has lost his senses not because of the heat but something else
its probably a bit of both, because while yes, hints of his future self are there, not so much his random nature, what he did to salazar was simple, taunt him, feign retreat until his enemy is in a disadvantageous position. So while it seems sort of random. Its actually jack just being a good captain. Compared to later scenes where a lot of what jack does is more random out of the blue in the moment stuff. Like escaping from beckett, or fighting jones. The whole bamboo stick sequence.
Did he just call pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney world/Disney land pretty ok? No it’s amazing
We need more pirates of the Caribbean Theorys.
Yes we do
Yeah, I heard this one years ago. Something that wasn't mentioned in the video was that not only was Jack marooned, but that island was a hideout for rum runners. He'd found their stash and drank nothing but rum for some days until he got picked up by another ship.
That’s the thing tho alcohol dehydrates you
@@apissedoffkoala8465 yeah, I bring it up because that's probably what started him off, being that rum soaked with no shelter
@@mr.h1262 oh yea good point
I think the hallucinations were more on account of the Locker itself than Jack’s brain getting boiled. I’m pretty sure Jack was just really drunk and/or hungover during the fifth movie scene.
That isnt a good explanation.
@@superbrain7852 no I think he's right, the whole point of the locker is to drive you mad/crazy. Plus in pirates 5 he was drinking the whole time, more so than the rest of the movies
@@allbrickbuilt3449 Well, the Problem is, that "the locker" is a magical place... Sure, it could be that it just makes crazy, but following the theory it could also be that his dehydration just grew, since there wasnt any water in there.
There is a fine line between Genius and Madness. Jack's dehydration has him wobbling that line alot :D
13:25 by far in my opinion the best part jack saying I ALREADY HAVE THE KEY then Davy John's saying NO YOU DON'T
