Pirates of the Caribbean : Antagonist Themes

Got bored and decided to mix and compile the themes of each POTC antagonist

Barbossa - 0:00 (Barbossa Is Hungry - Klaus Badelt)
Beckett - 0:49 (Lord Cutler Beckett (Score) - Hans Zimmer)
Jones - 1:50 (Davy Jones - Hans Zimmer)
Blackbeard - 3:10 (Blackbeard - Hans Zimmer)
Salazar - 4:04 (Salazar - Geoff Zanelli)

Technically Barbossa’s theme is the motif that plays when the Black Pearl crew march underwater. It plays throughout the film to symbolize Barbossa.

Barbossa and Beckett ones are good, but man... The feeling on Davy Jones Theme is indescribably, and the fact that he plays his own theme in the movie makes it even more epic

[thesenate]

All the themes perfectly complement the characters they play over.

Barbossas flows into jacks very cleanly, and only has brief sinister motifs, as he and Jack are not so different.

Becketts is reserved, neat, controlled, and precise. It is as ordered as he is, and does not rely on force, but rather, delicate, devious calculation.

Jones' is emotional, expressive, and tragic, much like him and his life.

Blackbeard's is cruel, dominating, hopeless, and goes at its own pace. It is powerful, detached, and sociopathic.

Salazar's starts off as something militant, and not inherently evil, but progresses into a sinister, angry, determined motif that grows with rage and intensity.

Beckett riding a horse on a row boat to the shore is a scene you would think Lego made up, but seeing it in the actual film makes it so much better.

[niksugden]

Anyone ever notice how the beat of davy jones theme is a heartbeat?

[HatakeKakashi]

Best Overall Theme: Davy Jones
Most Haunting Theme : Blackbeard
The Most Pirates of Carribean Theme: Barbosa

[Montefires]

I love how almost everyone agrees that Davy Jones' one is unmatched lol

[artificialanimeuniverse]

Davy Jones is my favorite antagonist in the entire series!

[Ricvictors]

Salazar’s is like an unstoppable force, coming back again and again. Blackbeard’s is menacing and violent. Barbossa’s is swashbuckling and adventurous. Beckett’s is sophisticated and ruthless.

But Jones’… Davy Jones’ theme is the sound of the apocalypse…

[Someguywholikeszoos]

Pirates of the Caribbean crew: “Hans we need you to make some music for a pirate movie”

The man the myth the legend Hans Zimmerman: *drops these bangers*

[thenewsatinbobcat]

Each of the themes describes the villain and their story.

Barbosa a captain of an unstoppable undead army seeking glory and adventure.

Becket is all serious, no joy, no freedom in the melody, just buisness.

Davy Jones a sad melody, turn rage filled, lashing out in percussion.

Black Beard a chaotic wave of music that ends fowl with death.

Salazar mighty roar of strings settles into tragedy, settling into whispers, silencing like a phantom.

[DrakeTheCaster]

What I appreciate about Barbossa's theme is how it feels like a 'dark' version of the main Pirates theme. Really makes him out to be the sorta dark mirror or shadow of Jack imo.

[martinabordakova]

I have never realised that Beckett´s theme is such a masterpiece <3 I would kill to hear it live in a concert this year

[burrzie]

I came here to enjoy antagonist themes, but I made a mistake in reading the comments
Say whatever you want about the villains in each movie, we all know that Jack the Monkey is the best villain out of all of them

[MVMborzoi]

Of course, Davy Jones is the best, but I love Cutler Beckett as well.
The most normal antagonist, but the most intelligent guy even made Davy Jones a perpetrator and killed Kraken.
The end of him is way better than Davy Jones.
The guy with all the plans, and proved all of it except his end.
He lost his mind as he meets the first unplanned situation, falling down in vain.

“We have our heading
Here we gooo!
From the magic in our hearts
To the adventure on the horizon…”

[wiseonly]

I did not like the 5th movie, but god damn, Salazar’s theme, man…

[justpotato]

Imagine *Black Pearl, Flying Dutchman, HMS Endeavor, Queen Anne's Revenge and Silent Mary* all going into a fight

[Crashingfoot]

*Barbosa:* Cunning, determined, ruthless.
*Beckett:* Intricate, almost militaristic, cold.
*Davy Jones:* Dark and gothic, subtle notes of heartbreak and tragedy.
*Black Beard:* Menacing, sadistic and evoking emotions of chaos.

*Salazar*

Man Barbossas theme here just hits different. The way the ship crashes through the waves during that chase... man probably my favorite track from POTC
