Davy Jones

Defeat all pirates he encounters in his way in order to take over the Seven Seas together with Lord Cutler Beckett (all failed).
Kill Will Turner (briefly succeeded)

### What Makes Them Hated

Trapping the souls of the dead in his locker as a fate worse than death.
Unleashing the Kraken on the Edinburgh Trader to kill Will while forcing his father to watch, destroying the ship in the process, and then having the survivors killed.
Fatally stabbing Will Turner, causing him to be cursed as the captain of the Flying Dutchman.

### "Love to hate" factors

He has a huge tragedy of being betrayed by his girlfriend Calypso, leading him to tear the rule of the seas away from her, which he regretted so much he carved his heart out of his chest and put in the Dead Man's Chest.
He has loved ones, as he cries after being forced to kill his pet kraken (thanks to Beckett) and still cares for Calypso in spite of their dysfunctional past.
His death scene is played for sympathy, as sad music plays in the background while he exclaims "Calypso" before falling backwards into the maelstrom.

### Type of Hated Character

Tragic Soul Collector

**Davy Jones** is the main antagonist of the *Pirates of the Caribbean* film series, serving as a mentioned antagonist of *The Curse of the Black Pearl*, the main antagonist of *Dead Man's Chest* and the upcoming sixth film, the main antagonist of *At World's End* and a cameo antagonist in *Dead Men Tell No Tales*.

He is a monster and the dark lord of the Seven Seas who is loosely based on the old seaman's legend of Davy Jones's Locker. He is the cursed captain of the *Flying Dutchman* and the former lover of the sea goddess Calypso, who betrayed him and led him to cut out his heart in the first place, assigning him the role to ferry the souls of those who died at the sea into the afterlife, though Jones opted to recruit them into his immortal crew. He is also Jack Sparrow's and Will Turner's archenemy.

He's portrayed by Bill Nighy.

## What Makes Him a Hated Character?

* He betrayed Calypso by taking away her godhood. He thought she tricked and forsaken him since she didn't show up after his 10 years were up, however, it was noted by Calypso that she made him promise that if she met him, then he would be free from his duties.
* He gives those who die at sea a hellish afterlife in his Locker, which is shown to be a barren wasteland of nothing but crabs, sand, and water.
* He sends the Kraken to devour sailors onboard countless ships and destroy them. He then bargains to have any survivors join his crew for a century in exchange for sparing their lives, executing those who refuse his offer instead of leaving them alone.
* He regularly abuses his crew via whipping.
* He sadistically forces Bootstrap Bill to whip his son Will or else he would have the Bo'sun do so even more brutally.
* When Will stole the key to the Dead Man's Chest and escaped the Dutchman to the *Edinburgh Trader*, Davy Jones unleashed the Kraken to kill Will, resulting in it destroying the ship and the entire crew, while he forced Bootstrap to watch.
* He orders the mass execution of the *Edinburgh Trader*s surviving crew members without the usual "you can join my ship if you fear death" deal when Maccus asked him what to do with their prisoners.
* He attacks the *Black Pearl*, intending to "send it back to the depths". He then sent the Kraken to destroy the *Black Pearl* and kill the entire crew, resulting in most of the crew's death.
* He temporarily succeeds in killing Jack Sparrow and destroying the *Black Pearl*, imprisoning Jack in the Locker where he lived out his worst fears.
* Hunts down pirate ships under the orders of Lord Cutler Beckett after Beckett seizes his heart thanks to James Norrington so he can use it in his War Against Piracy. However, Jones leaves no survivors much to Beckett's chagrin, demonstrating that he is willing to sacrifice people who have done nothing to him just to spite Beckett.
* He slowly breaks the sanity of Bootstrap, completely enslaving him to the Dutchman, resulting in him killing Admiral Norrington after he had a change of heart. Jones then took his sword (the same sword Will Turner made for him and the same one Jones later uses to stab Will).
* While he agrees to kill Calypso before the current Brethren Court frees her, he decides to spare her so she can take her revenge on the current Brethren Court by destroying them, despite the fact that it was the First Pirate Court who plotted with him to betray her.
* After Jack was given over to Jones, he sends Jack to the Dutchman's brig, where he again lived out his worst fear as there were many Jack Sparrows.
* He sailed into the maelstrom with the full intention of entrapping and claiming the Black Pearl crew, even personally killing Mr. Mercer by mutilating his brain with his tentacles to get back his key.
* Tried to force Jack to give him 100 innocent souls as a mockery of him saving 100 slaves from Beckett years ago. He also keep Will as an obstage.
* After discovering Jack has the chest, Davy Jones tries to kill him and rejects the chance to be free, thus allowing Jack to stab his heart so he can be free and Jack to take his place as the next Captain.
* He fatally stabs Will right in front of his wife, Elizabeth, and father, Bootstrap Bill (and his friend Jack Sparrow), and also takes the time to make it fatal and watch in glee as Jack struggle to stab it. This immediately forces Jack to choose to stab the heart for himself or save Will by letting Will stab the heart. This eventually resulted in Will to become cursed as the *Flying Dutchman's* new captain for at least two decades.
* After Bootstrap regains his sanity and realizes Jones killed his son, Jones almost kills him only for Jack (by using Will's hand) to stab Jones' disembodied heart.
* Overall, despite his tragedy, there are moments where he is cruel just for the sake of it.
* He imprisons his crewmen in the *Flying Dutchman*s walls where they progressively lose their memories once their contracts finished, that is a fate worse than death. It was clear that Jack would rather die than serve Jones.
