Davy Jones was already dead! And wasn't he yelling "Calypsoooooooooooooooo!" when he fell into the maelstrom? (The maelstrom was my favorite character in the movie, by the way, because it looked good and had depth.) Meanwhile, over at Rotten Tomatoes, the forum thread called "Davy Jones/Tia Dalma. So no I don't think they ended up together." Huh? Now I'm even more confused. She's released and filled with great power, and just turns into a bunch of crabs? Or she starts the maelstrom for some reason? Fans are so confused by the botched dialogue and storyline that they've even turned to Yahoo! Answers for help - one person asks what Calypso said after she became giant (somebody replies, "I could swear she said 'fuck you all!'," which is sort of the basic message the film delivered to its audience in my opinion).Īnother person asks "What happened to Tia Dalma?" and favorites the answer "Tia was set free. Of all the eggregious plotholes contained therein, the biggest was what happened to Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris) after she turned into Calypso and became a 50-foot-tall giant. Nobody rewatches the sequels in this franchise anyway.I'm one of the many suckers who shelled out this week for the astonishingly incoherent Pirates of the Carribean flick. Perhaps, if we get another Pirates movie, this discrepancy can be explained.
A couple lines of dialogue might have been all that was needed to say, here's why that other bit isn't really true. Terry Rossio has been a credited writer for the entire Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, including the newest film, and one would think he would have noticed the continuity issue being presented. Still, the fact that the previous backstory wasn't even dealt with is odd. The compass is vital to the story and bringing Tia Dalma into it would have likely required a seriously large shoehorn.

The change in the history certainly makes more sense as far as the plot of the new movie goes. It's possible, perhaps, that Jack had the compass stolen from him at some point, we've seen that happen, and he then had to barter with Tia Dalma in order to get it back, but does that make sense? Why would Jack Sparrow, of all people, be willing to barter for something that he believed was his? Even if Tia Dalma wasn't the one who actually stole it, why would a pirate be willing to make a deal for something when just taking it makes so much more sense? He's a pirate, he doesn't barter for things that don't belong to him. We know that Jack Sparrow could not have given up the compass after the events in the flashback, as doing so would have brought about the freedom of Salazar, as it does in the new film. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales appears to have completely retconned the history of the compass. Jack Sparrow got the compass from Tia Dalma, who is actually the sea goddess Calypso, not the captain of the Wicked Wench. The line is brief and ultimately unimportant to the plot of the original trilogy, and so it's never brought up again, but there it is. Whatever happens in these movies, the compass is the thing that helps drive the characters toward the action.

It leads Jack to the Isle de la Muerta in the first film, to the heart of Davy Jones in the second, and helps Gibbs get back the Black Pearl in On Stranger Tides. The compass is magical, and it points toward that which the holder most desires, be that treasure, love, or really anything at all. However, later we learn that the reason the compass doesn't point north, is that the holder isn't looking for north. It's dismissed at the beginning of the first film as a "compass that doesn't point north," an indication that Jack Sparrow is something of a joke as a sailor.
Jack Sparrow's compass receives one of the great introductions in movie history. The only problem, we already knew how he got the compass, and this wasn't it. We also learn how he obtained his special compass, which has become a vital part of the franchise's history. We learn how he first became a captain, and where he got his hat. We get to see the moment that young Jackie actually becomes Jack Sparrow. One of the more entertaining aspects of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, is the way it expands on the history of Captain Jack Sparrow.
