He cut his heart out and locked it in a chest so it wouldn’t get hurt again. A badass pirate with no heart. GG

Davy Jones is clearly the best character in PotC
The anger, the fear, the pain... Love is a strong feeling.

00:00 The Beginning
We see that Davy Jones was just a boy who lived close to the coast. He was the son of a lowly metal worker, but he was never truly interested into the craft, he was much more interested in music and poetry. Whenever his father gets drunk and scolds him, he would hide at the beach; the sound of the unending waves had always brought a sense of peace to Davy Jones. He loved the ocean, its beautiful sound, its infinite combinations of waves crashing into one another, unpredictable yet mysteriously beautiful, like a woman.
The goddess of the sea, Calypso was touched by the boy's pureness and love, she then transformed into a human girl to meet with the boy.
The two fell in love very quickly, and Davy had learnt enough from his father to have made two matching music boxes; one for himself and one for his one and only love.

01:09 The Attack
Until one day, the pirates attacked Davy Jones' village and his home was burnt to the ground. his family and friends butchered before his eyes. Davy, having very nearly escaped death, drifted into the ocean on a wooden debris, which he was then saved by Calypso.

02:00 The Contract
"Do you fear death?" Calypso asked Davy, as an immortal goddess, the concept of death has always fascinated her.
"I fear the thought of never meeting you again." Davy Jones answered.

"You can be with me, always" Calypso told Davy, "if you would serve as my captain, my guide to the souls who are lost at sea."
Calypso also told Davy Jones that if he accepts, he would be to be able to only set foot on land once every ten years; for the magic to remain unbroken.

Davy Jones agreed.

Soon, Davy Jones was blessed with eternal youth and powers beyond imagination. He commanded his own ship and crews of lost souls. Beings of the ocean were subject to his will. With these amazing powers, his first decree was to hunt down the pirates that murdered his family.

Despite Calypso's dismay in Davy Jones dwelling his mind in mortal affairs and he must fulfill his duty and his duty alone. Davy Jones replied "This IS my duty. I will ferry their souls onto the next world as it is promised. I swear to you!"

Shocked and terrified of the dark side of Davy Jones, Calypso fled away. But Davy Jones' mind was set.

With his command over the mighty beast - Kraken. He sank the pirate ship and have him devoured every soul on board.

After it was done, Calypso had not returned.


Ten years, he devoted himself to the duty he was charged with.
Ten years, he looked after those who died at sea.
Finally, when they could be together again; Calypso was not there to meet him.

It was true, Calypso loved Davy Jones, as a mortal. Now that he had completely devoted himself and became cursed, Calypso no longer found Davy Jones fascinating nor beautiful.
It is then, Calypso realised that " a thing is beautiful not because it lasts. A candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and Davy Jones was once a beautiful boy who was pure and knew not fear and death. And now Calypso see something that reminds her of herself, an immortal who had no purpose in life nor have the freedom to act as they pleased. She had corrupted him, and she could not live to see him again, for it pains her heart to see what he had become.

Davy Jones waited on the promised island. He waited and waited, until he realised that Calypso was not coming...

02:57 The Rage
Outraged. Davy Jones cursed Calypso and renounces her contract, her love and her. It caused her to become cursed, and his body underwent drastic change as punishment for breaking the contract between him and Calypso. He then sought the pirates to bind Calypso into her human form. This time for good.

03:24 The Silent Tear
After it was done, Davy Jones felt nothing. He was hollow inside, his love betrayed him and locking Calypso in her human form did not fill the void she left behind. Life was indeed cruel, when revenge did not bring him peace and his love did not bring him reciprocation. Filled with relentless hate, love, rage and sorrow, Davy Jones cut out his heart and locked it in a chest along with all the love letters and poetry he had given her. The man had died, now he was left a husk, a monster that knew not love or pain, a being that was both alive and dead.

As he closed the chest, he realised that there was one item missing, and it was the music box he had in his pocket. Davy Jones took it out and let the music play; as soon as the music played; memories of their love danced into his mind, and brought Davy Jones to tears. He could not let go of the box and kept it on him on all times, as a token of what once was. He shall bear this pain for eternity and remember the times they were together, for it was the only thing he had left that made him feel "human". An untainted memory, a remembrance of the life that Davy Jones once had which brought him the only peace he had known.

People don’t realize this but this song is a real masterpiece. Say what you want about the series, Davy Jones is one of fiction’s most iconic villains. His story and character is so tragic and sad that you truly sympathize for him. So many who had their hearts broken become cruel and cold and you can’t blame them. It’s as if they ripped out their own hearts themselves so they wouldn’t feel the pain of heartbreak again.

What’s beautiful about Davy’s theme, is that you feel his pain. You feel his remorse, his vulnerability, his sorrow and his anger.

*"Life is cruel, why should the afterlife be any different?"*

One of my favourite lines

[sasori]

The music is so accurate - from sad broken heart to heartless cruel broken monster

[lugenhauser]

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Davy Jones the Pirate?

[les]

This is one of the best villain themes I’ve ever heard by far and perfectly encapsulates everything Davy Jones was. A broken man who became a monster. He really was a fantastic character.

[huntercool]

Davy Jones 100% needs his own movie where he falls in love with Calypso, and looks after those who died at sea for 10 years and then at the end of the movie we see him happily waiting for Calypso, but she doesn’t show and then we see him scream in anger as the sun sets and break down in tears. That would be the most depressing movie ever and I want- no… I NEED TO SEE IT!

[wyv]

In my opinion. Davy Jones isn't just the best villain in Potc, but one of the best written, acted, and portrayed villains ever. He's a villain that you can fear, but also sympathize with. He drives the plot, while not being above it. In the third movie, I didnt fear Beckett because he himself was scary or could best the heros in combat, but because he controlled Jones. Whoever wrote Jones, bring that writer back for any future movies, they know how to write a 15/10 villain.

Edit: Holy cow, I never expected this comment to blow up. Thanks for all the likes!

Davy Jones: 100 love messages
Calypso: Seen

1:10 "And who have we here? Forgotten sailors... forsaken by the Ferryman, and marooned in the Sea of the Damned. They've pledged their allegiance to me, and I've promised them dominion over the world of the living. They will defend the spire until my work is done!"

"He always was a persuasive squid... READY THE CANNONS!"

[jamesbaggett]

You gotta love Jones as a villain. He's layered with depth to show insight into how he became a callous cold hearted captain. A broken heart was the catalyst.

[vardellsfolly]

Bill Nighy's performance was truly inspirational.. and to me, Davy Jones will always be my most favorite Pirates of the Caribbean character. A villain should not be a monster just because. He should have depth, emotions, a reason why he turned out this way.
