Davy Jones question.....

This might have already been discussed here, and it is probably a dumb question, but I can't get it out of my head.....

Will stabbed Davy Jones's heart (With Jack's help), thus replacing Jones as the captain of the Flying Dutchman.

BUT....What if Jones had stabbed the heart himself? Like if he tired of his existence and wanted to end it all? Who would replace him as captain then?

Does the Dutchman have a first mate? That's a good question. Maybe he is physically unable to stab his own heart.

That's a very good question - would certainly make an interesting story.

I think the FD has a first mate... does she?

Maybe he couldn't stab his own heart. maybe its part of the "rules".

that iss a very interesting question...i bet that shark dude would take over. that'd be cool.

Unable to stab his own heart? Never thought of that. Maybe Bootstrap? haermm

I don't think Davy Jones liked Bootstrap all that much, especially after that whole son thing, lol.

(Will is back aboard the Dutchman hiding out)

Bill: Will! I thought I gave you my knife, heard you say you wouldn't abandon me, and take off!

Will: Yeah, well, I've decided to come aboard and stab the heart and take Davy Jones' place.

Bill: WHAT?

Will: Just kidding. There's no way in hell I'd do that.

LOL So true.

Should of just used the heart as shark food or somethin'...lol. Who would be the captian then?

lolz! that would be interesting...

maybe the person who threw it overboard would be the next captain...

do you really have to stab the heart? can't you squeeze it to death? shoot it? crush it? put it in a blender?

Then wouldn't the blender be the captain? Lol. That would ruin things for whoever the future captains would be because whenever they would screw up, someone could say, "You know, a blender was able to do this job. Why can't you?"

If the Captain of the Dutchman destroyed his own heart, I believe that one of three things would happen; Calypso would choose a new captain, the ship would simply vanish, or the ship would sail the seas for forever, its crew trapped between life and death for eternity.

Following movie-verse, I believe the most likely action would be Calypso would create a new Dutchman with a new captain. Of course, I base this only on my own imagination since obviously this subject wasn't really covered in the film. 😉

As for whether or not Davy Jones would have been capable of making the choice to stab his heart, I would say "No". Considering the makeup of his personality, he held onto his "life" with the tenacity all petty, sadistic rulers do. He never desired death; he wanted only his vengeance on the world.

Really, it's very depressing when you think about it.

Surreal! Whow! Long time no see.

Mhmm! Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the one who yelled at Impy a bunch when she made the 'LEWZMP' thread?

LOL willo

nice one, surreal (long time no see, at that xD) true, true... but hey, you never know, maybe one of these days he goes all berserk and would want to kill himself... xD

I totally forget, what was the LEWZMP thread? And if it was insulting or stupid, probably yeah I yelled at her, although I don't even remember Impy very well. :/ I have a dreadful memory.

Jaeh, Davy might have eventually killed himself, but I think it would have taken a long time since he seemed to derive so much satisfaction from watching people be harmed, whether it be physical or emotional pain.

I think Maccus (the hammerhead shark guy) was first mate.

hm, that would take an eternity, then. (pun, sorry, could not resist. xD)

a question: Davy J. could go on land once every ten years, right? how long could he stay on land, then? and.. what if he over-stayed? what would happen?

I think it's from sun up to sunset because at the end of AWE when they are waiting for Will, it looks like sun up. My thinking is that the captain of the FD is physically unable to stay longer than that, that he would instantly be transported back to his ship and that would be that.

The LEWZMP thread wasn't insulting (although LEWZMP herself is) but if it was you, then I remember you saying something about it being off-topic....
