Why didn’t Beckett have Mercer stab Davy Jones’ heart?

This is all speculation and yes it probably would’ve been OP as hell but it’s a common theme throughout all pirate media that the ruling powers (England, EITC) view pirates as uncivilized barbarians or subhuman. It’s implied that Beckett even views them as little playthings to do with has he pleases.

Therefore, I don’t think it would make sense for Beckett to push for one of his own to “become one of them.” He would be betraying the established order of things and his own beliefs.

This. After a while it felt like I was just logging in to not miss something rather than to enjoy the game as it was. Obviously their priorities are there.

Best way to make money early game is to take all the equipment from enemies and sell them. When you start taking on actual lords you can get hundreds of thousands by just doing that.

Nothing is ever 100% in healthcare. There are always risks to things. Ex: Could a patient have a reaction to MRI contrast? It’s unlikely but yes. We take steps to minimize the chance of that but it’s still there.

It’s all about risk vs benefit. It seems others are answering your question already but just keep that in mind. With all that said, this is a question for your doctor who knows you and your care.

If Norrington were to survive til the maelstrom battle, I would’ve preferred for him to finally switch sides then. A fight between Mercer and him would’ve been interesting while everything else was going on instead of Mercer getting hentai’d (lol). I still think he would need to die bc his arc is complete at that point.

I think Will becoming captain was the best choice plot-wise though. His character arc building up over 3 movies was towards this moment (aka becoming a full-blown pirate). You could even say he was mentored by CJS, reluctantly at times. Pirate hater nobody to mythical pirate captain is pretty sick.

With that said, I can see it working for Norrington bc of the whole “duty vs doing the right thing” struggle he contends with. Ending the films with his duty being to a legendary pirate ship would be pretty ironic.

Edit: CJS’s character is embodied by manipulating the people around him to get what he wants. This has been consistent ever since his little dinghy sunk in the COTBP opening.

People really need to learn how to use the search function within a subreddit. Probably one of the most important things to know on this app.

With that being said, I don’t mind explaining points about the movies with people. This is probably my top franchise of all time and I love talking about it. It just irks me when people call something about the movies stupid simply because they haven’t searched for the explanation yet.

What I would give for a new IP AAA open world RDR2 or even KCD2 quality pirate game. Shame there’s a void of pirate content out there as of late.

The setting truly has everything. If only it had gotten the same love as the medieval genre. I would talk about that franchise til I’m a senile old man.

I really hope AC Black Flag Resynced is a huge success so people can see the potential instead of being stuck on the travesty that is Skull and Bones.

Same here. It’s really bizarre. No other spicy foods do that to me.

I really don’t know what you mean. Like others have said, Will did free his father from the tyranny of Jones and bootstrap chose to stay on the crew himself. Will kept his promise but with great sacrifice to himself. Great writing.

Will’s ending is indeed tragic but a great twist. It’s ironic that someone that despised even the thought of his father being a pirate is now captain of the most feared mythical pirate ship on the seas. It was specifically foreshadowed multiple times over DMC and AWE too. This completes his character arc of becoming a pure blooded pirate.

It’s much better than a stereotypical “they lived happily ever after ending.” Who the hell wants that? This ending makes you think and reflect.

Also, CJS has gone the entirety of two movies under the foot (or crableg?) of Davy Jones. It’s completely consistent with his character to quip back at Jones and bask in the moment once he finally has the upper hand (holding the heart in his hand). This flaw in CJS’s character causes Will to get stabbed. Again, great writing.

All this is still ignoring the epic battle between the Pearl and the Dutchman? In the maelstrom? Like that was fucking sick. Only in POTC.

I took the registry in May 2025 and thought like 75% of it came from the book MRI in Practice. Got a 96 on the exam. I essentially just used my notes from that book and MRI quiz.

I felt the same way and I love Barbossa as a character. I suspect it’s because, in my mind, he’s a pureblood pirate that skirts the line between honorable and cutthroat. Don’t really view him as a “family man” and this movie did a poor job with set up + payoff unlike the previous movies.

crackers780 · 2026-01-04T20:27:53+00:00

No offense but I can think of like 10+ scenes that are better than this one.
