Pirates of the Caribbean: How Did Captain Jack Disable the ... (CBR)

Jack Sparrow is Pirates of the Caribbean's best pirate, and it's because he's smart enough to use every advantage available.

Will might accuse him of cheating, but as Captain Jack points out, that enabled him to come out on top -- and it's behavior that Will, Elizabeth and even Barbossa end up emulating. And it's this ability that allows Captain Jack to survive the series -- he plans, but he's not married to whatever plan he makes. That demonstrates Captain Jack's ability to think on his feet, something he's able to do both before and after this particular scene.

It's possible that Bloom's rapport with Depp kept the door open for his return in " Dead Men Tell No Tales." Of course, he wasn't given all that much to do, and the continuation of Will Turner's story felt a bit forced in the grand scheme, so maybe Bloom was right all along about where Will belonged.

Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow may have been the face of the " Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, but Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) were definitely the heart of it. Sure, there were mermaids (and Penelope Cruz!), but each stilted attempt to introduce a new romance just served as a painful reminder that Will and Elizabeth were nowhere to be found. To me, it was Will and Elizabeth that made the series worth watching.
