WARNING: SPOILER!!!!!!













Davy Jones fell in love with the Kraken Gua-err Calypso.. And he promised to ferry souls to the other side for ten years. After those ten years, he will get the chance to see Calypso again. However, Calypso decided to be miss no-show..

Jolly Roger was once a human pirate who wanted to become one of the Nine Pirate Lords. However, Jack Sparrow got the spot instead. So Jolly Roger conspired with a Voodoo Witchdoctor to steal Jack's Piece of Eight in a game of poker. However, Jack won the game anyways, so Jolly Roger shot the Witchdoctor, thinking that he had betrayed him. During the witchdoctor's final moments, he had placed a curse on Jolly Roger that rendered him Half-Man Half.. Something else..



Davy Jones and Jolly Roger's story's are very different.

Yeah, you could say Jolly Roger is a bit of a Davy Jones/Hector Barbossa wanna-be.. But in his defence, Queen Narissa from Enchanted is also a Villainous Wanna-Be(Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and Queen Grimhilde from Snow White).




Kinda funny with Jolly Roger. I noticed that he is also following in the footsteps of another Disney Villain who is not well known: The Horned King. Think about it: Both are skeletal. Both are raising an Undead Army.. Although the Horned King needs the Black Cauldron in order to resurrect his army of deathless warriors.. Jolly's just got the voodoo..

Well summed-up there mate. I initially did not like Jolly Roger because of the "rip-off" but I've been slowly taking him as a more serious and darker villain especially after what happened on Raven's Cove.

And I did notice that thing about Narissa from Enchanted. She offers the princess an apple like Grimhilde and turns into a dragon like Maleficent.

Like ten years ago... when I was REALLY small, we used to have this VCR, and we had one cassette on Maleficent. She freaked me out. I actually found out about her this year and I think I might be considered *obsessed* I hope they make that 2013 film about her. Angeline Jolie seems to be a good choice for the role.
