Okay this is really bugging me. Why didn't Davy Jones dive the Flying Dutchman under water after Lord Beckett put his heart on it, thus drowning Becketts men and getting his heart back? After all cannon's can't fire under water. So what would Jones have to lose by trying to get his heart back this way?

Because there's about a 20 second lag between ordering to go under and actually getting under, which is more that sufficient to blow his heart to bits.

LOL Its simple really, how come noone alive can go where the dutchman goes?

The heart is a beating organ! Once cut out of the captain of the dutchman it continues to beat until someone stabs it that was just one way to stop the heat from beating. I would also guess blowing it up with a cannon would kill Davey Jones or Drowning it under water cant imagine it still beating under water very long. Not to mention not once did the Dutchman go under water or leave to the other side when the heart was aboard ship I would assume once cut out maybe it cant travel to the otherside.


They really never made that clear, its not part of Davey Jones body any longer but its clear it keeps him from being destroyed. You can argue that until blown in the face being immortal could be unable to die or unable to be destroyed!! But the fact he gets to only come back from the dead side which is what the otherside is and they said you see a green light appear meaning a soul has returned to the living I would say Davey Jones was Dead but couldnt be destroyed as long as his heart was living!~

Not to mention it but The dutchman was a ghostship that ment it had a crew of undead people serving on it. I dont see how anyone can argue this point with any sense what so ever.

Being immortal like the highlander movies you had guys who couldnt be killed they could walk under water or be shot but they never walked threw objects thats a spirt or ghost lets be alittle logical here about Davey Jones. He was captain of a Ghost Ship hint hint, that could go threw solid objects hint hint, that couldnt touch land but once every 10 years when a green light would appear and a soul would return to the living hint hint!

I think we can say Davey Jones was a Spirt same as Will until he comes back for his one day on land and then returns to the living, its very simple really!@

Jones postponed their deaths implying they weren't dead. Plus, they'd all end up dying when Will took over and Will would not tell his father he's "free" if that meant he'd die.

LOL dude if his father was freed, to go back into the living then how can he stay on the dutchman if Liz cant!

His spirit was allowed to leave the ship and go on to the otherside he died under water it was Davey Jones who gave him a choice to serve on the dutchman, WIlls father is dead and could leave the dutchman his debt payed he owed but he wanted to stay on and serve with WIll.

Again WIll and His father are quite dead!

Liz would have to join the crew. That was an option they never thought of for her. That's why.

The curse kept him alive - by your rational that would mean Jack would die when the curse was lifted, but he didn't. The crew was not dead.

Again, no. They're not.

He never REFUSED to send them. He offers them the choice of dying or joining his crew. If they don't, he KILLS them. The crew is not dead.

No matter what you say, the people on the Dutchman are not like you or me there not in fact Human beings. They are Supernatural or spiritual beings what ever they're the fact is human beings dont walk threw objects sail under water or travel to the otherside. That fact alone not to mention having no heart inside there bodies clearly makes them not Human!

LIke I said Davey Jones was a Spirit, once he cut out his heart he was no longer human it had nothing to do with being the captain of the dutchman he choose to cut out his own heart!! How cuting out Wills heart kept him alive is kind of humorous because nowhere did that have anything to do with being Captain of the Dutchman!!
Logically cuting out his heart didnt have anything to do with the Curse or being Captain of the dutchman, so then logic would also say once Will stoped being captain of the Dutchman which was the only reason he was immortal would infact then be without his heart in his chest.

Will is never going to be Human like LIZ, he will never have a BEating Heart in his chest he is in fact either a Spirit or Supernatural being he is not Human!

The fact that WIll stabed Davey Jones Heart infact killing Davey Jones or Destroying him it really makes no difference should of then made him the Captain of the Dutchman, why they had to cut out his Heart and store it in a chest makes very little sense to the whole deal since it had nothing to do with being Captain of the Dutchman. Davey Jones cut out his own heart over Cylepso!!

SO why did Will have his Heart Cut out? It wasnt to be Captain of the Dutchman that was never part of the Deal!!

Actually, they're fictional characters who POSTPONED death by serving Jones.

They have hearts. Only Jones' heart is removed as that's something he did himself. And the walking through walls stuff comes with the fact they are monsters now and they're supposed to be doing a duty on the other side. They may bot be dead but as part of the cursed ship, they're supposed to be doing the job just like Jones.

KING Pirate said:

Yes, he did. He's not a 'spirit', though as he is a physical entity that can be touched. And he cut out his heart... has nothing to do with the Dutchman OR the crew.
KING Pirate said:

Killing Jones requires someone to take his place. It's a loophole. Will is brought back to life to because the curse of killing the monster makes him immortal. Is that really that confusing to you?
KING Pirate said:

There's no "logic" behind any of this lol. Nor is there any proof to what you're saying - did you read what the writers wrote???

KING Pirate said:

This is all your opinion and that's all. Although you feel this way you should be able to tell the difference between an opinion and a fact, right?

Davey Jones cut out his own heart over Cylepso!!
Yeah, I mentioned that a few times... however, it may not have started as part of the "Curse of the Dutchman" but Jones' altered the curse, himself, by doing this. And through the film they know it would have to happen now (Sparrow even tells Will he'll lose Liz for sure if he chooses "to put your heart in a box").

KING Pirate said:

It's no longer a deal. The cursed changed because of what happened with Jones. He choose to serve Calypso and did so for 10 years. He then choose to abandon the duty and betray her. He then choose to cut out his own heart. He altered what you used to be a choice (to serve) and made it a curse (the brave soul who would kill him would be forced to take his place).

Well your opinion has some loop holes in it dude and some of them are solid.

First off my opinion of Davey Jones, is he was a man that use to be a pirate, that took the job of captain of the dutchman we know the curse only occurs if you failed to ferry souls to the otherside no where does it have anything to do with a womens love. Once his reason for doing the jobs betrayed him he cut out his own heart and stoped doing the duties, that made the curse go off. No where could he alter the curse otherwise he would of stop it from even happen to him! There should of never been any reason for Wills or anyone elses heart from being cut out to be captain of the dutchman. Davey Jones never was the person with the power to create the curse it was Cylepso!

Any form that can go threw objects, isnt human I contend Davey Jones is a Supernatural Being hes closer to a Ghost or spector even maybe a spirit then a Human being! Wills is no different!

Well nowhere is that written or explained its your assumtion because otherwise there is no reason for anyone to cut out there hearts but the curse still only remains and there is only one curse and thats not taking souls to the otherside. I find it humorous that you think Davey Jones got more powerful being cursed then he was doing his duties maybe he was supernatural could go threw object the only difference is he turned into a ugly squid!

Whoa whoa whoa... hold on, there a sec... the curse is his monstorous form. If he continued to serve for Calypso the curse would never have happened. But she turned him into that after he stopped doing the duty. The only REAL curse prior to this is that he can't step on land but once every ten years (and Jones still won't do it because he fears what may happen). He, more then likely, betrayed Calypso after he became a monster as he thought he was being punished for something that was her fault (in his view, he would never have stopped willingly doing the job if she were there that day). Nowehere in ANY of this curse was the "kill the captain, become the captain" a curse relevent to him or possibly even know about by him. He removed his own heart after betraying her and therby changed the curse. Suddenly he could only be killed by getting his heart stabbed (it's never revealed if it was like this when his heart was in his chest or if Calypso had given him this "immortal curse" before she was trapped in a human body so he'd be forced to live in pain) and he locked it away from the world. That is how HE altered the curse. It wasn't always a curse and, in my opinion, it was only made into a curse by the Goddess when he failed to do his job.

He didn't create the curse but he did alter it. As said in the second film, "Don't stab the heart. The Dutchman must have a living heart or there is no captain!" That means the Captain must be alive and with a heart (even if it's not in his body apparently lol).

KING Pirate said:

A ghost or spirit contains no physical manifestation. And you can see clearly in 3, Jones can't just walk through anything... it's a power. He has to "turn it on". When he was talking with Calypso and his claw got stuck he had to make his whole body capable of walking through the ship... if he was a Ghost or spector he wouldn't of had a problem with the claw. It's most likely a power given to him to help in the duties on the other side or a result of him not currently being bound to this world (one could make the argument that he may be in our world but bound to the otherside while he's supposed to be doing the job).

First, go to the writters forum... in their post about the ending they speceifcally state Jones altered the curse so no that's not my opinion. It is my opinion the alteration was made when he removed his heart OR when he decided to stop doing the duty since at that moment Calypso would have to decide a curse to be placed on him. Second, have you seen the Mummy? Dude has an affair with chick and then gets horrible punishment but if he were to ever be awaken he'd now have these insane powers... lol don't make much sense but that's the story.

Okay its really hard to tell when he might of change the curse or quit doing his duties. But here a question that bugs me, if Davey Jones went out and did his duty for 10 years because he was asked to do it bye Cylepso and was inlove with her is why he accepted it.
Why then would he keep on doing it after 10 years was up he comes back and shes not there!Why wouldnt he just walk away from the dutchman being betrayed, if people think Will could come back after 10 years I think Davey Jones would of run away from The dutchman being betrayed!

Makes no sense that he would even consider doing it anymore if he could just walk away from it all together.
But instead he cuts out his heart and stays being the dutchmans Captain!
Perhaps thats his revenge on cylepso and reason why he stays Captain!

Interesting but all speculation~

I was thinking about maybe a new Pirates movie called Pirates the Begining!

I think they could actually have most everyone back accept Liz and WIll.

We could have Davey Jones accepting the deal from Cylepso showing what really happen to change him and why. We could have Jack Sparrow with the Nine Pirate lords binding her with help from Jones and then we can also show events that led Barrbossa in betraying jack.

The movie could hit on some info never really explain before Pirates one!


Just a thought!

Wesker, I was looking up something you wrote before about Will and the Dutchman.
Quote from you!

It is NOT implied. It's revealed WHY he stopped doing the duty and became a monster. There is 'suggestion' nor implication anywhere in the film - instead there are numerous references to "EVERY TEN YEARS" (which means more then one) as well as the whole eternity thing normally implies more then 10 years. Stop fishing for things not in the film and take what it gives you as solid fact. Will is the Captain, deal

I agree with ya here 100%!
