The Character
Change That Led
To The Pirates Of
The Caribbean's
Demise
By KATHRYN OLVERA
Without question, the central attraction of Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise was always pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). As with any multi-movie series, things can change, and the way Depp’s character evolved, in particular, is responsible for a lot of fans developing a dislike for the franchise altogether.
In a Reddit thread, users shared the same opinion regarding Captain Jack Sparrow's personality change. One user felt that Captain Jack "devolved" as a character, saying, "He also actually did things in the first couple of films, whereas in the later ones (especially the fifth one) he does nothing besides drink and crack jokes."
In essence, Captain Jack went from being a nonchalant but secretly brilliant pirate to a bumbling goofball, which chipped away at the legacy that made the films so beloved in the first place. Unfortunately for anyone hoping to see the original version of the character return, Johnny Depp has ruled out doing any future Jack Sparrow appearances.
