Why The First Jack Sparrow is The Best Jack Sparrow (Character Analysis)

I am amazed that this video doesn't have more views. I've never seen anyone talk about Jack's skill at reading people/situations and his capacity for patience and restraint (when it serves his interests, of course) despite how telling it is for his overall character. Seriously, this video has some of the best commentary on the character I've seen and I've been deep-diving for hours. Kudos

yes. i love this. not all treasure is silver and gold

Great analysis

Obrigada por isso! Thank you

Great analysis, one quick thing. Jack explains why Will is well on his way to becoming a pirate , saying he’s obsessed with treasure. Will denies, but Jack explains that not all treasure is silver and gold. He says this as he sees Elizabeth. Noting that the treasure that Will is obsessed with is Elizabeth

I loved your character analysis of Jack. You definitely covered all the major factors that made him legendary in the first movie. In my opinion, he stayed true to his character in the second and third films as well. He just had different goals in them but he was still the same Captain Jack Sparrow that we knew. Fourth movie also portrayed him in the same light, more or less. But the fifth movie completely turned him into a parody of himself and that's why when I think of this franchise, I stop at "On Stranger's Tide".

You should do character analysis of Ragnar lothbrok from Vikings

I think he ment with treasure Elizabeth✨

Could you do an analysis of Elizabeth's arc? I know she isn't as popular as Jack or Davy Jones, but I find her journey over the trilogy extremely interesting

Mark Ruffalo’s character hulk

When Jack is completely drunk and explains a ship is freedom I thought that was important for his character. For a greedy pirate a ship is an opportunity to loot and plunder but to Jack a ship is freedom. All the main characters in the franchise seem to have something they really want and it’s an important part of their characters.

Well a few years later, and this turns up in my recommendations, and honestly I am so surprised this has so few views in such a long period of time, great video and quite well put together.

Not including the last two movies, what love about Jack is that through out the first three movies his character doesn't change. He doesn't turn for the worse or the better he is who he is. His goal of sailing the seas forever free never waver. The alliances, deals, and choices he makes all coincide for him to get what he wants. In the end of the third movie he is pretty much in the same boat (no pun intended) he was in at the beginning of the first movie. Letting us know the adventures of captain Jack sparrow continue, I loved it!!

I actually prefer the character in 2&3, wouldn’t say it degraded him at all. His desire for freedom being compromised by a fear of death makes for some great motivation and interesting conflicts.

The funny thing is that Jack’s ability to negotiate is scorned and seen as disappointing by others and even by Elizabeth, because by the typical fashion talking instead of fighting is seen by the society (and apparently pirate society as well) as a feminine trait. Which means that Jack's power is undermined by toxic masculinity and patriarchy type of thinking, because he more often than not uses non-violent methods to achieve his goals instead of resorting to outright violence. He was also mutinied and marooned for "being soft" which once again proves that Jack is undermined because he doesn't adhere to the ideals of what it means to be a man and a pirate in the eyes of the others, but which is in fact presented as a strength. And I think it is presented as his strength simply because it is tied to intelligence and manhood was always associated with logic while womanhood was associated with emotions, so even when Jack is scorned for being too feminine to be a man and a pirate, he is still “masculine enough” to be "proper man" thanks to his intelligence, however weird logic it might not use and however stupid it may look like to others.

It is a genius disguised as acts of foolishness.

Best antihero since Han Solo.

When Jack finally kills Hector and hector realizes that he is no longer immortal he says, "I feel...cold." I am thinking, that's what death feels like.

I agree that Captain Sparrow's character was horribly degraded in the 5th movie. But he's very strong, NOT degraded, in the 4th. Curse of the Black Pearl is still my favorite though. Overall, you present a good analysis!

jack has a +10 to insight, sleight of hand, and stealth; he also has the luck feat

I don't think was ever planning on blasting Elizabeth's head off on the dock. He was basically psyoping the group in order to get away

Extraordinary films where character actor Johnny Depp will never be portrait the same way with any other actor

If you are so keen on killing her why not let her jump

When Will mentions his connection to Bootstrap Bill, you can practically SEE the gears turning in Jack’s head.

This vid is pretty old but it’s amazing. Only thing that could help is some background music imo

I'd like to see a few videos on certain characters. The first one on The Outlaw Josey Wales, if you haven't already done so.

Secondly, on Judah Ben-Hur, from 1956, which starred Charlton Heston.

Thirdly, George Taylor, (Heston), from Planet of the Apes, 1969.

Brother I won’t even watch the video, but I clicked for the thumbnail title. My man, I am so glad that someone else recognizes that the first Jack is different. You will never see another intro like that and the first one also showed he was truly worthy to be “captain”. And how on earth can we forget the infamous line to how the blazes he got off that island. It may be the coldest line in the history of cinema. Btw, I accidentally let the video play and the first thing you touched on was the intro. Great minds think alike.

I do have to agree that parts of the Caribbean 5 Jack Sparrow was my least favourite Jack Sparrow still loved him but wasn't the best out of the five but that's for a reason by this point in time the rum and boiling in the sun kind of f*** him over mentally

I like all the movies

I also think his looks have downgraded. In the first movies he has more normal hair and only few dreadlocks.
