We Must Fight to Run Away

Finally! My first POTC video. It's about time. I think it was one of the main reasons why I got myself a channel. I mean, look at my name. ...I will put a much better description on here later.

[@151apollo]

In all fairness, he was hopelessly outclassed in ALL of those scenarios.

[@owenpo1417]

+Corey C I don't know, that fight with Barbossa was rather even.

[@Bucketheadhead]

As was Captain Jack if you care to remember.

[@LongNguyen-pv9sm]

nah, Barbossa was immortal as the time Jack did come back with being an immortal himself tho

[@OblivonLaxer]

You may kill him but you may never insult him, who is he? He’s captain Jack sparrow

I think Jack can be forgiven running away from the cannibals. There were about two hundred and they were all armed.

If I were in Jack's position, I would run away like hell.

[@davidgapuzan848]

[@ApetureTestSubject]

Knowing how, and when, to run away is an important skill. You very rarely hear legends about the ones who stayed behind.

[@educatedfool5121]

What are you talking about? There are like a hundred famous last stands in history! in fact, it's pretty much a staple in heroic legends for some badass to stay behind and hold the line buying others the time to flee.

[@ExHyperion]

@@educatedfool5121 most of the famous last stand stories in history occur when the person or people in last stand literally cannot go anywhere else. Take Dunkirk for example, it's treated as a last stand scenario where the British successfully retreated to fight another day. What ISN'T told, is the brave rear guard actions of the french divisions that stayed behind to slow down the german armored column so that the brits had a chance of retreating. That's what the OP is talking about, the people who choose to stay when retreat is still an option are mostly forgotten.

[@simonnachreiner8380]

Accurate most pirate crews used hit an run tactics to hit merchant vessels before navy fleets & armada’s would show up. There’s a reason why pirates feared the Man o’ War and it ain’t jelly fish

[@Motleydoll123]

yeah. when your ships is small, lightly armed and built to be quick, you don't go fighting Full on WARSHIPS WITH more guns and protection than you can handle. if you could fight the navy, it was because you had a large fleet of your own with similar caliber ships in its ranks. what really killed the majority of piracy was innovations like steam engines and better warships that could easily outrun Sailing ships and overpower pirate vessels with stronger military grade artillery. and also because back then, empires could invest time and money into stomping piracy out with extreme efficiency.

[@theirishviking9278]

there's probably what 4 total pirates who owned ships that even had a chance at winning a fight against a man o war and even then there still out gunned

[@alexandrebourgoin4643]

The funniest part is that in the Isla de Muerta fight, he was effectively immortal at that point due to having palmed one of the cursed coins earlier. He wouldn't have needed to run away in the first place since he couldn't die.

[@maxh19991]

I'd rather prefer to avoid testing my own immortality if I could if I was in his shoes.

[@Kaipyro67ALT]

Just because you KNOW you can't be killed doesn't mean you should test it every chance you get.

In his defense, fighting and running away is part of survival. He wouldn’t have lasted this long if he didn’t run away from fights every once in a while.

[@HippyAngel001]

Jack- "I agree with, and I cannot believe the words are comin out o me mouth.." Makes me laugh EVERY time! XD

Jack Sparrow doesn't run away. He attacks in the opposite direction.

Still. He drew his sword and attacked. And incidentally he held his own in the fight with Barbossa. He knew he just had to hang in there until Will broke the curse.
