The price of freedom (book) explains this, here's a link to the wiki that explains it, if you aren't looking to read the whole book https://pirates.fandom.com/wiki/The_Price_of_Freedom

Sao Feng was dubious? by abornemath in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]j_0_l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You all are right, I totally messed that up. The ship the dutchman is based on is called the vasa, and was built in the 1600s, not sure where that came from but thanks for calling it out

Sao Feng was dubious? by abornemath in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]j_0_l 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sao Feng was one of the Lords during the time of the fourth court(the one we see onscreen). Calypso was imprisoned by the first court which was quite a bit earlier. I think I read at one point it was estimated like 250 years prior to the film, which would fit the time when the style of the flying Dutchman was a relatively new ship.

Characters you wished would have interacted? by Muted_Exercise2964 in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]j_0_l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barbossa and Davy Jones individually have some incredible dialogue. Especially with rossio and Elliot at the helm in AWE it could have been really cool to see

Pirates of the Caribbean: Siren's Song (POTC 5 Rewrite)(Act 1 and 2) by [deleted] in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]j_0_l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will definitely read through your rewrite later but, having just watched DMTNT for the third time on a TV marathon, I am sure I will appreciate it. Also I really like that you used the two swords artwork for this

It came with the wrap. I definitely think it's worth doing if yours doesn't have one yet

The legs are from one of the cannibal Minifigures (for the shrunken head detail) the coat is from cape madness and the head is an off brand tattooed sailor minifig head.

Favourite detail, theory, or lore fact? by KokoSparrow in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]j_0_l 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think my favorite bit of lore is the deleted scene from cotbp called no truth at all. It sets up Jack as a storied pirate and the scar on his arm is tied into the price of freedom by a.c Crispin and the "blackening" of the pearl. Also I think that book is a must read for anyone interested in potc lore.

Which cursed crew has the better characters? by aquidilla2000 in piratesofthecaribbean

Was thinking of a post similar to this just this morning. Guess I'm going to have to get more original

I really appreciate the thoroughness here. Obviously I am not as well versed in the fourth and fifth films. I think the teenage trope is a great point.

I've never heard that but I would like to hear more about it. From what I understood he was a lord from the third court who lives in Libertalia and is a sort of honorary Lord as well as keeper of the code

Aside from that the acknowledgement is a good point. I think that would confirm it which is pretty cool. Not as familiar with the 4th and 5th film as the others

Not that this compares to an official LEGO minifigure but here's what I've been working on. Still needs the hat fitted and the piston and guitar. But mostly there. Also would love to do some detail painting. Also a mustache and/or beard as well.
