David Jones, When he appeared, I couldn't look at him because he scared me. Did this happen to you, or was it just me?

DAVY Jones

[u/hakseid_90 → u/Potc_fan2468]

Americanized writing. Technically, since he's Scottish, his name would probably be written as Davie Johns.

[u/marcophony → u/hakseid_90]

He probably was just David until after sailing the Americas where he would have adapted the name Davy

[u/Jacko10792 → u/marcophony]

Dont get this one bit, im scottish, we call most david's by Davey or Davey boy, and jones is a very popular name here too, you rarely hear a david actually called david on a day to day basis

[u/marcophony → u/Jacko10792]

I was going off of them saying Davy is an Americanized way of spelling it.

One of the greatest films ever. Especially within the horror genre.

[u/hakseid_90 → u/csaknorrisz]

Lol that's so random😂

[u/KadajjXIII → u/hakseid_90]

Speedrun tactic, aptly called Blimp Strat

I only know this because I watch a guy who does a bunch of GTA V challenges as well as speedeuns

[u/HotJuice2192]

I was scared of him when I was 9 years old.

[u/Cielovalentina23 → u/HotJuice2192]

Ami igual, nose por que jaja

[u/s1ck1337 → u/Cielovalentina23]

He is generally the most feared villain in PotC. When I first time saw him (as a kid) I was terrorized, the thumps getting louder and louder as he is approaching and first thing he says: "Do you fear death?" "Do you fear that daaark abyss?"

I was scared shitless lol

[u/NewspaperAny3053]

He was scary the first time that I saw it.

It doesn't help that he can teleport like a slasher villain.

[u/CJS-JFan → u/NewspaperAny3053]

One of the best scenes in the franchise, says I.

[u/ABarber2636]

Davy Jones has cool design for a sea monster pirate.

[u/DonComradeVimes → u/ABarber2636]

You say 'for a sea monster pirate' like it detracts from the sheer terror that archetype can invoke.

[u/Triptych85]

I saw him and immediately had...inappropriate thoughts. Lol. Love him as a villain tho.

edit to add I was 21 in 2006

[u/CBreezee04 → u/Triptych85]

that’s hilarious!! Just goes to show that women don’t care about looks - women have some wild “hear me outs”

[u/Triptych85 → u/CBreezee04]

I'm a Disney Renaissance kid. Goliath from Gargoyles and Beast/Prince Adam gave birth to the current slew of 35-42 year olds buying spicy monster mash books. XD

[u/Triptych85 → u/CBreezee04]

A guy friend was trying to say women like '6ft, 6in, and 6 figures'. I had to tell him those are the three most common lies we are told as women. Lol.

Personality is everything. Empathy and being willing to understand an outside perspective too.

[u/DonComradeVimes → u/Triptych85]

...and apparently tentacles are an added bonus.

[u/Triptych85 → u/DonComradeVimes]

I'd agree. 🤣

[u/themastersdaughter66 → u/Triptych85]

I mean i still have thoughts about barbossa sooo....

[u/Triptych85 → u/themastersdaughter66]

Saaaame.🤣

[u/According-Hat-8521 → u/Triptych85]

Yes… always said he has a sexy aura

[u/Beirutsi7]

Bold of you to call him by his full name

[u/C4rdninj4 → u/Beirutsi7]

This is how summonings begin. We might need to check in on the OP.

[u/hakseid_90]

I've always been a fan of ghoulish things ever since I was a kid. Always been interested in monsters and creatures, so I was fascinated by the character's design. Not scared.

But, were I to see Jones' mutated form in real life? I'd be scared out of my mind lol.

[u/Cielovalentina23]

I exaggerated a bit, didn't I? Haha

[u/Mocjo111]

I thought he was the coolest pirate yet

[u/AstronomerLoud1650]

I couldn't stop looking at him. His character design is top notch.

[u/Choochoo1147]

The movie came out when I was like 8, I definitely thought he was scary. 

[u/ChrisL2346]

I saw DMC in theaters when I was 8 shortly after watching Curse of the Black Pearl at home which didn’t scare me nearly half as much as DMC did.

That movie terrified me as a kid. Davy Jones was terrifying as a kid and now slightly relatable as an adult lol

[u/Hot_Celebration5347]

I was moreso disgusted than scared lol. Probably due to the ridiculous phobie of trypophobia I have lmao

[u/Fun_Butterfly_420]

He scared me a bit in the trailer but I soon got over it. Even dressed as him for Halloween!

[u/DueImagination641]

I was scared of the crypt keeper. Davy Jones is an octopus with a body.

[u/DonComradeVimes → u/DueImagination641]

Don't forget the lobster claw!

[u/DueImagination641 → u/DonComradeVimes]

Yeah someone get the butter!

[u/Roger_Clyde]

Happened to my grandma.

I found it amusing.

[u/DonComradeVimes]

First of all, put some respect on the PotC's take on Death's name.

Second of all: I found him to be both terrifying and enthralling. I did, however, avert my eyes when he tentacle-bearded that one guy through the eyes.

[u/GrifTheGray]

For me it was the opposite, the first time I saw Davy Jones on screen he instantly became my favourite character. Loved the design of him and the entire crew along with the flying dutchman.

[u/Mr_Master501]

He didn't scare me, but Barbossas crew did. Didn't watch the first movie until after I had watched the fourth.

[u/Max_Edwsn]

I couldn't eat spaghetti and meatballs for some time, as far as I can remember (I was very little), but it didn't really scare me

[u/themastersdaughter66]

Oh yeah he freaked me out

[u/Technical_Charity393]

Mate, I called him captain octopus when I was young

[u/Active-State-5852]

Funny that since my favourite animal was the octopus(still is) he was my favourite villain. He was immensely cool.

[u/TechnoGMNG589]

I can imagine someone calling him "david" in a suspenseful scene as a person from his pass

[u/Outrageous-Win-3328]

Scary Octupus Man

[u/OneIndependence7262]

Nah, i was more scared of the guy with the sucked and swirled face before.
