Klaus Badelt did the soundtrack for this movie, that's the big problem I have with this video. But the rest, I 100% agree; Hector Barbossa is the only villain in the films who fits the mantle of a pirate. At least for me.
Hans Zimmer did the score for 2 and 3 and I believe he advised on the 1st one. They sound so alike because Hans Zimmer for 2 and 3 took the themes and motifs from the first film so that the three felt connected.
@@CaretakerWanted I read somewhere that Hans Zimmer wrote the main theme "He's A Pirate" but Klaus did the rest of the soundtrack. Regardless of his involvement, it's an amazing OST.
The first 3 POTC had such great, complex villains. Barbossa was the likeable one, Cutler Beckett is the hated one, Davy Jones is the one everyone feels sorry for. But Barbossa is one of my favourite of all time; in part cause he develops to be more of an anti-hero in the next movies!
And then 4 flubbed Black Beard which should have been a homerun. I mean his introduction was so great and yet they just made him underwhelming for the rest of the movie. Then Capitan Salazar in 5 was also pretty good at the start but everything around him was goofy and confused which just downgraded him due to how hard it was to take anything seriously. And then they went and crapshot Barbossa with a crappy forced sacrifice. I might say I unaronaclly like movie 4 in truth but 5 really gave me a poor taste in my mouth for how dumb things got. The witch joke was driving me slowly insane XD
@@antonakesson I agree with everything you just said. Blackbeard and Salazar were great ideas but a bad plot ruined the moments. And yeah: let’s not mention Barbossa suddenly having a daughter out of nowhere. He deserved a better death scene.
Beckett is probably the best villain in the series because he is not a pirate, but acts like one. His motives are well hidden as you think they are just about rounding up the pirates, hi actual motive is to rule the world. (Which why he wants to round up the pirates, they won't obey him.)
Except Barbosa isnt a Villian at all, he was just a guy that was trying to cure is Curse and was willing to do anything to get it done, which is understandable given the effects the curse has on a person is downright Sinister
@@MintyCoffee He's the villain just because he's the villain of the narrative, while Jack, Will and Elisabeth are obviously the heroes. But we can all agree that Barbosa is very relatable, his motives aren't aren't anywhere near plain evil ambitions, like those of Beckett. It's not a wonder that he become a hero in the sequels as well.
Barbossa's character was made so well that I didn't even realised he is a «villain». To me, he was more like a _rival_ of the party, the understandable protagonist of another story. Which, I mean, he is. Like most villains. But he's not presented as the "big bad evil guy": the hero has his arc and on his path he crosses roads with an old acquaintance of his, currently on his own quest.
You forgot two things: charismatic and courageous. Despite being a lying, double dealing, filthy, manipulative schemer (and anyone that meets and deals with him quickly learning that) Barbossa is still quite charismatic and brave. Not heroically brave, but he is no coward; never shying away from a fight if he needs to.
I always said that Jack Sparrow and Pintel and Ragetti are what made Pirates of the Caribbean, Pirates of the Caribbean but it's Barbossa and Gibbs that made Pirates of the Caribbean an amazing Pirate movie. When he appeared at the end of Dead Men's Chest I was literally jumping out of my seat.
Thanks man. I would love if they brought back the original Greivous from 2003 in maybe even just a game, including his backstory from the comics where the Republic killed his loved ones because they were tricked by slavers. Also the bone white metal looks way better than the rusty yellow look.
The first time you saw the scene where barbosa turned into undead was a pure badass moment _"You best start believin' in ghost stories.... YOU'RE IN ONE!"_
@@kasperihankonen just a joke. He is! Just a big fuckin Joke! A lame Disney character that scare kids but in other than that… just a joke. Real fans dont count this movie as a potc movie. Sane humans can see the difference between barbossa, davy and becket. But they worked. The fourth movie had no real bad guy. But the 5th movie? The Dead men tell no good tells… ? Fuck! Im getting so upset just thinkin about that shit show! That bag of shit had more holes in the plot and story than a papershiet would have if you emptied 10 mags of mashinegun fire into it!
"Why won't you die ?!" "Curse of the aztec gold son, it protects me from physical trauma! You can't hurt me Jack!" *Jack stabs him* "What did I just say?"
On his return i like most, that it was a total secret even from the cast. The look on Olando Blooms face when he sees Rush coming down the stairs is one of the best reactions ever.
Methinks the main reason Barbossa was so confident is because he is undead. The worst things that can happen to a man have already happened to him via the curse so what is there to fear? Every parry he does in his swordwork is done from habit, not because he needs to. He takes needless risks because he knows that even if the worst should happen, he'll continue living to seek revenge on those who stood in his way.
I know people can’t stand PotC 4 and 5. And I can’t either for the most part, but one of my favorite scenes from 4 is Barbossa enjoying his meal on his royal ship. It’s so short but he looks incredibly pleased that he can enjoy such luxuries anew. I’m sure he had gotten used to being able to taste again by the time that scene happened, but in my mind it’s like he will never take those luxuries for granted again after being subjected to the curse in the first movie.
One of my favorite movies since I watched it for the first time ten years ago (time is running so fast 😲), but I never really thought about what characterizes Barbossa. Thanks for the video!
@@CaretakerWanted For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with. Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free. And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better. Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will. She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3! As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies. Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1?? As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die.. Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth. Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈 when Will challenging Davy Jones. Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key? Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏 As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️
I get what your saying with this essay but I think another interpretation of why we like him is that Barbossa is the embodiment of a pirate. Jack is Jack and there's nothing like him but Barbossa is the ugly, greedy, cheating, peg legged (In the later movies) salty sailor that everyone thinks of when they hear the word pirate.
Yeah I mentioned how Jack is the romantic version while Barbossa represents realism. But you’re right I could have been more in depth by mentioning his pirate characteristics.
Even though a lot of people aren't a fan of Dead Men Tell No Tales, I think Salazar is one of my favorite villains. Like realistically, He was in the right for trying to rid the world of pirates. But his obsession for killing pirates lead to his downfall. When he started executing them when they were begging for mercy, he started being no better than they were.
I'd agree if the movie surrounding him was better and he wasn't taken as seriously as they could've. He was basically panicked throughout the movie for no reason, he should've been played calmer but with the same speed
@@isdrakon9802 I personally saw him as eager for revenge instead of panicked. I can agree that there were certain times that they didn't do him well. Like Sparrow was too afraid to face him so they didn't get a real duel.
@@Rebelrose Sparrow was a damn joke, yes he wouldn't fight him but Sparrow usually has like 5 tricks up his sleeve for every scenario, he had none in the movie
@@isdrakon9802 I mean the one of the only time he felt like Sparrow was when they broke the trident. He used that book over his chest to prevent it from stabbing him, giving Henry the chance to break it. That's sorta why I like that scene. It could kinda be seen as planned when Jack tells him "If you surrender to me know, I'll let you live" again.
His story might be the best, But the actor, the format and the movie in its whole doesnt add up at all. I Dont even count the 5th movie as part of POTC cuz it was so bad and had more holes than a colander. "sparrrrrro000oo0oWWW!" The characted shown in the movie is more chringe than scarry.
One thing I always found peculiar even about the last film was his and Jack’s accords, with the last being to keep the secret of Barbossa’s identity from his daughter even after death. This detail was only furthered by Jack saying he had an accord upon the horizon, which is where when they had tried to bring back Jack he was said to be found upon the horizon. Part of me likes to believe that Jack sought out to return Barbossa just as he had for him, not so that he may return to his ways, but to at least let him watch over his daughter and to keep her out of trouble. Honestly the whole concept in their universe is weird. Anyone can really be brought back, but you have to go through work arounds. Even Elizabeth’s father and the other marines who were around him in the boats could’ve been revived. Personally I would’ve done so.
3:03 I really miss Jack talking normally. In the later movies he never stops yelling or mumbling. His conversations are always full of quips. You don't hear him just talk normally anymore.
Sadly that’s what happens with a lot of characters who have a prolonged existence (almost always for the sake of money) They become a caricature of what they once were. A snapshot of his best or funniest moments in the first three films but lacking any depth. They lose their luster almost immediately when companies go that route. And it didn’t help Johnny Depp was going through his own personal struggles at the time of both PotC 4/5. It’s almost funny in a sad way that initially he was supposed to be a supporting role but became the main star in the trilogy. While in 4/5 he was intended to be the main character but for most of those movies he’s pushed to the sidelines, mumbling quips to himself in the corner while the replacements for all the other character archetype’s do the usual routine.
@@CaretakerWanted Oh Yeah pls pls Beckett, i Love him he is my Villain Favorite and i miss him very much. I am a big Fan from Cutler Beckett pls pls a video🙏🙏🙏
Something I just realized when you said it. You said in the final fight that barbossa was watching jack and Elizabeth when he should have been watching Will. But what we didn’t realize was jack told him that. During the preflight dialogue when barbossa told him he’s a hard man to figure out. Jack says “me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it’s the honest ones you watch out for…”. And with that being said, if you had to pick one main character in that movie that you would describe as honest, it would be Will Turner.
dude this character was soooooo good, i cried so much when he died in the last movie, even after all he did to others, he still had love for his daughter and his wife
One of the great things about him, is that when he flips from an antagonist to an ally, he doesn’t change at all, only his goals. His personality, skills, quirks, determination, nothing is nerfed, everything is the same, he’s just on our side now.
Glad to see this. Barbosa truly was an incredible villain and yeah honestly as much as I love Captain Jack Sparrow, Barbosa from what I remembered when I first saw this in theaters when I was a teen, Barbosa stood out to me the most.
Well honestly. Immortality is just a curse in disguise. It seems great to live forever at first. But it’s only great if your loved ones as well are immortal too.
There is just one little thing you forgot. Barbosa didn't know that the Whelp (Little Willy Turner) was the direct offspring of Bootstrap Bill Turner until his demise. Damn Damn! But every pirate has to have a rival, otherwise there wouldn't be a movie. Who better than Geoffrey Rush playing Captain Barbosa. He and Johnny Depp complemented each other so well while they were acting that it made the films, for lack of a better word, immortal? I love them both.
I’m sure that’s the case for a lot of people. I saw the fourth one in the theaters, but not for the newest one. I’ve seen it, and I think it’s ok. There are elements in the 4th film I like, but in large part they should have stopped at 3.
Caretaker wanted, "Do you think Johnny Depp will come back to the pirates of the Caribbean if disney offers Depp 10 billion dollars, then to kill off Captain Jack Sparrow then a son or daughter of captain Jack Sparrow will take up the torch as the new captain Jack Sparrow
I don’t see Depp coming back regardless of how much money Disney offers him. I don’t blame him in the slightest. I guess it’s possible they do a son or daughter of his and make a movie off of that. Wasn’t someone suppose to play in a Pirates movie? I think it was Margot Robbie, but I could be totally wrong.
Thing is... I CANT FIND A SINGLE THING NOT ONE BLASTED THING.... I didn’t adore about Rushes performance as Barbossa in the orginal trilogy, not so much the other two movies but I attribute that as more writing fault then his acting skills!
I am sorry, but the score is by Klaus Badelt, because Hans Zimmer was working on something else. Hans Zimmer wrote the music for the sequels, but he heavily based it on the original score.
The first POTC was the best one. They didn't have to make the others. Without Jack Sparrow, the movies will definitely fail. Barbossa was my only other favourite character
In all honesty, I thought Barbossa was a way better villain than Davy Jones, and my only regret is we didn't get to see the two of them clash swords in the 3rd film during the Maelstrom incident. I always thought that Davy Jones was kind of a darker version of Barbossa, and it would've been cool to see Barbossa and Jones duel, to see Barbossa battle his inner demons, if you will.
@@CaretakerWanted - I know, but then we would have never heard the ceremony Barbossa gave. Who could forget those beautiful words: "Dearly beloved, we be gathered here today... to nail your gizzard to the mast, you proxy cur." I swear, that almost brings tears to the eyes. Lol! 😂
Klaus Badelt did the soundtrack for this movie, that's the big problem I have with this video. But the rest, I 100% agree; Hector Barbossa is the only villain in the films who fits the mantle of a pirate. At least for me.
Oh, I thought it was just Hans Zimmer.
@@CaretakerWanted So did I for years and I was surprised that the soundtracks were so similar in feel.

@@CaretakerWanted I read somewhere that Hans Zimmer wrote the main theme "He's A Pirate" but Klaus did the rest of the soundtrack.

Went ahead and pinned this because no matter how many comments address this, people still mention it.

That was possibly one of the best film endings of all time (imo)

I like Barbosa his quote before he dies. "I feel......... cold"
You can see in his eyes the moment he says he feels something it's like relief.
The joyous of warmth to be alive but only seconds to feel cold dead forevermore sad 😢

You die once and think it’s over only to be horrified that there is an second death which is far worse than the first death.
I know people can’t stand PotC 4 and 5. And I can’t either for the most part, but one of my favorite scenes from 4 is Barbossa enjoying his meal on his royal ship.

Oh, I see this video has hit some sort of algorithm because it's gone up by 200+ views since yesterday.
@@CaretakerWanted Yeah, i think its gonna boom in the upcoming days, i was watching videos about PotC and this popped up in the side panel.
Captain Sparrow may be the best pirate ever
But Captain Barbossa is the most Pirate ever
One thing I always found peculiar even about the last film was his and Jack’s accords, with the last being to keep the secret of Barbossa’s identity from his daughter even after death. This detail was only furthered by Jack saying he had an accord upon the horizon, which is where when they had tried to bring back Jack he was said to be found upon the horizon. Part of me likes to believe that Jack sought out to return Barbossa just as he had for him, not so that he may return to his ways, but to at least let him watch over his daughter and to keep her out of trouble. Honestly the whole concept in their universe is weird. Anyone can really be brought back, but you have to go through work arounds. Even Elizabeth’s father and the other marines who were around him in the boats could’ve been revived. Personally I would’ve done so.
Geoffrey Rush did a truly amazing job.
3:03
I really miss Jack talking normally. In the later movies he never stops yelling or mumbling. His conversations are always full of quips. You don't hear him just talk normally anymore.
Sadly that’s what happens with a lot of characters who have a prolonged existence (almost always for the sake of money)
They become a caricature of what they once were. A snapshot of his best or funniest moments in the first three films but lacking any depth. They lose their luster almost immediately when companies go that route. And it didn’t help Johnny Depp was going through his own personal struggles at the time of both PotC 4/5.
It’s almost funny in a sad way that initially he was supposed to be a supporting role but became the main star in the trilogy. While in 4/5 he was intended to be the main character but for most of those movies he’s pushed to the sidelines, mumbling quips to himself in the corner while the replacements for all the other character archetype’s do the usual routine.
Oh I love this. Have you got one on other villains like Jones and Beckett too?
Would watch the hell outta that
Beckett would be cool to do.
@@CaretakerWanted Oh Yeah pls pls Beckett, i Love him he is my Villain Favorite and i miss him very much. I am a big Fan from Cutler Beckett pls pls a video🙏🙏🙏
Something I just realized when you said it. You said in the final fight that barbossa was watching jack and Elizabeth when he should have been watching Will. But what we didn’t realize was jack told him that. During the preflight dialogue when barbossa told him he’s a hard man to figure out. Jack says “me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it’s the honest ones you watch out for…”. And with that being said, if you had to pick one main character in that movie that you would describe as honest, it would be Will Turner.
Great comment!
dude this character was soooooo good, i cried so much when he died in the last movie, even after all he did to others, he still had love for his daughter and his wife
In the last movie he is a hero
Lemme get this straight you like pirates of the Caribbean and Alice cooper, I’m so glad I found this channel
A perfect mix.
@@CaretakerWanted Yup
you are really cool. im trying to write a book, and this actually really helps
Good luck with the book!
@@CaretakerWanted Thanks! Good luck doing whatever you are doing! not hat you'll need it
When I first watched pirates of the Caribbean I watched all of them in like 3 days and there’s 5 movies and I loved every second of those movies
That's awesome!
Very accurate! 👍
Love the analysis and summary that you gave that is not only agreeable but true
The CGI in this movie and the first 3 in general is still unbelivable
I agree. The fight scene between Jack and Barbossa on the island as skeletons is still mesmerizing.
man when I first saw him become a skeleton as a kid I was in awe and terrified
2:16 This whole scene right here scared the life outta me when I was a kid.
One of the great things about him, is that when he flips from an antagonist to an ally, he doesn’t change at all, only his goals. His personality, skills, quirks, determination, nothing is nerfed, everything is the same, he’s just on our side now.
Excellent comment, Alex! I totally agree.
Glad to see this. Barbosa truly was an incredible villain and yeah honestly as much as I love Captain Jack Sparrow, Barbosa from what I remembered when I first saw this in theaters when I was a teen, Barbosa stood out to me the most.
Barbossa is probably my favorite potc character
The music for The Curse of the Black Pearl was composed by Klaus Badelt.
I thoughts perhaps if I pinned a comment of someone saying this others will read it and not comment on it for the 50th time.
The first three pirates films are one of the greatest trilogies of all time
I still have barbosa down as one of my favorite characters
Fantastic video! I'm surprised that you've only done a few video essays. You're really good at them!
Yeah I believe this was my first video essay. I’ve done a couple, but it comes down to time for me. There’s a series of video essays I’ll like to do.
@@CaretakerWanted Yeah I make them but I'm planning on cutting it down from one per month to two per month. It's just too much!
Most people: it'd be cool to live forever
Barbossa: KILL MEEE
Honestly lol
@@CaretakerWanted lol
Well honestly. Immortality is just a curse in disguise. It seems great to live forever at first. But it’s only great if your loved ones as well are immortal too.
He is a very good villain and an amazing character. 👍💀
After all, HE IS THE CAPTAIN.
Great video!
I can imagine as my 1 year younger brother as barbosa and I’m Jack
ahh yes. a pirate who acts like a pirate
I loved the writing in his last words. Shows a bit of irony. He can finally feel again, but it's the feeling of life escaping him.
Aye, that's my captain.
What makes Barbossa a good villain? Well if he were a bad villain I wouldn't be here discussin' it with ya now would I?
his motivation is the same as Baldur's from the God of War game..
i wouldent consider Barbossa a Villian he was just a character doing his own quest to cure his curse.
Awesome
Thanks. This was fun to make. Took a while, ha.
@@CaretakerWanted barbossa vs davy Jones sword fight and convo
Yeah, take note corridor crew!
Cool video!
Love love Barbossa!
I made a video similar to this but on Lord Beckett. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/x5OLQRrbYPI/w-d-xo.html
i heard you are looking for a caretaker, I'm sorry to differ with you sir, but YOU are the caretaker
If i may be so bold sir
What makes him a good villain?
If he is a bad villain, he won’t be sitting there discussing by you now, would he ?
There is just one little thing you forgot. Barbosa didn't know that the Whelp (Little Willy Turner) was the direct offspring of Bootstrap Bill Turner until his demise. Damn Damn! But every pirate has to have a rival, otherwise there wouldn't be a movie. Who better than Geoffrey Rush playing Captain Barbosa. He and Johnny Depp complemented each other so well while they were acting that it made the films, for lack of a better word, immortal? I love them both.
Love this comment! Thanks for the input, Paul : )
disney needs to release the POTC 1.5 where they search for the dragon balls to revive barbosa.
I didn't know there were more than 3 pirate movies...
I’m sure that’s the case for a lot of people. I saw the fourth one in the theaters, but not for the newest one. I’ve seen it, and I think it’s ok. There are elements in the 4th film I like, but in large part they should have stopped at 3.
Barbossa is such a good villain I’m sad that he died
Not once, but twice!
Yessss
i didnt realize he was a villain lmao i love barbossa lol
Nice
No Barbosa no movie
I hope there is gonna be more Pirate of the Caribbean movies. And they are as good as first 3
0:13 The score is not by Hans Zimmer, but by Klaus Badelt.
I feel like Barbossa is Jack if Jack was more of an actual pirate lol
We need POTC movie about Barbossa
Caretaker wanted, "Do you think Johnny Depp will come back to the pirates of the Caribbean if disney offers Depp 10 billion dollars, then to kill off Captain Jack Sparrow then a son or daughter of captain Jack Sparrow will take up the torch as the new captain Jack Sparrow
I don’t see Depp coming back regardless of how much money Disney offers him. I don’t blame him in the slightest. I guess it’s possible they do a son or daughter of his and make a movie off of that. Wasn’t someone suppose to play in a Pirates movie? I think it was Margot Robbie, but I could be totally wrong.
Dont forget the genre comedy.
"I'm captain Jack Sparrow"
“A compass that doesn’t point north”
*inspects sword*
“And I have expected it to be made of wood”
XD
I liked dead mans chest more only because of davy jones and the kraken
That's y i love my last name Barbosa
Thing is... I CANT FIND A SINGLE THING NOT ONE BLASTED THING.... I didn’t adore about Rushes performance as Barbossa in the orginal trilogy, not so much the other two movies but I attribute that as more writing fault then his acting skills!
Yeah he is, they didn't even show him kill someone by his own hand.
Petition to decanonize last 2 movies
5th one definitely 4 nah that’s a good movie.
@@archieoutdoors3340 4th doesn't feel like a potc movie but like an island treasure hunt movie
@@darklordvader66 well that’s what pirates do thought hunt for treasure so it is like a ‘pirate movie’
I am sorry, but the score is by Klaus Badelt, because Hans Zimmer was working on something else. Hans Zimmer wrote the music for the sequels, but he heavily based it on the original score.
Yeah, someone else pointed that out. I should have looked it up beforehand.
Also thank you for being nice in your correction. A lot of people can be dicks about an error in a video.
@@CaretakerWanted Making mistakes is human.
The rest, which is the most important, is just a very good essay!
I did honestly really like Barbossa in the last movie too, but otherwise it was meh after the first
I too thought he was good in the last film. The film itself was a big shrug of the shoulders to me, but his character was fine.
He’s the most piraty pirate captain every
Geoffrey Rush
The beard.
well if i were bad villain, i wouldnt be sittin here, discussin it with ya now would i?!
Thought his name was Barbrossa
"Let me start by saying..."
Uh...we have no say in the matter.
The first POTC was the best one. They didn't have to make the others. Without Jack Sparrow, the movies will definitely fail. Barbossa was my only other favourite character
Yeah but between Jack Sparrow and Barbosa who you going to sleep with...
Prbly Barbosa I don't want to get into legal trouble
1:22 did you mean “empathize” instead of “emphasize”
Lol, yeah. This was my first video essay, so there are some rough parts to it. That's a cool profile pic!
@@CaretakerWanted lol thanks, and must say amazing first video essay!
He's not a villain!
I rather call him antihero
In all honesty, I thought Barbossa was a way better villain than Davy Jones, and my only regret is we didn't get to see the two of them clash swords in the 3rd film during the Maelstrom incident.
I always thought that Davy Jones was kind of a darker version of Barbossa, and it would've been cool to see Barbossa and Jones duel, to see Barbossa battle his inner demons, if you will.
I’m honestly shocked they didn’t have Davy and Barbossa fight. I would take that over the scene of Barbossa confirming Will and Elizabeth’s marriage.
@@CaretakerWanted - I know, but then we would have never heard the ceremony Barbossa gave. Who could forget those beautiful words: "Dearly beloved, we be gathered here today... to nail your gizzard to the mast, you proxy cur."
I swear, that almost brings tears to the eyes. Lol! 😂
Barbados Slim
1:22 empathize?
Yeah, someone else corrected my mistake. I meant to say empathize.
A bunch of skeleton pirate rushing to get back to work. I laugh at that scene every damn time.
