Doesn't help that he's an indecisive, nervous wreck that wants to be buddies with the men instead of their commander.
>an indecisive, nervous wreck that wants to be buddies with the men instead of their commander
literally me
Your name wouldn't be Jonah by any chance, would it?
Literally my current foreman at work.
How would you have saved him?
Saved him? Jack gave him all the tools and advice to save himself and what does he do? Cannonballs himself to Davey Jones' locker.
Other guy is right, Jack gave it to him straight and he had to take it from there. That said, in a time and place where everyone 100% believes in God and the Bible, being called a Jonah is kinda sucky. I guess you'd need a lot of luck and a priest/chaplain on board to calm the men down.
>wants to be buddies with the men instead of their commander.
Classic mistake in literally every leadership role. Can't say I'd be above it, I would 100% be a bendover "nice boss" instead of a proper authority figure. The Greeks were right, some men are just born leaders.
I think I would lean too far into the "tyrant" side, at least at first.
Because you aren’t a leader, anyone with power can be tyrant.
I agree. That's why I have no desire to be in a leadership position. I would suck at it.
Sometimes you're put in a leadership position.
True, and I suppose if I ever find myself in one, I'll have to adapt as best I can.
He lacked authority which led to disrespect.
You are supposed to share the Doctor's discomfort that Jack is no less superstitious than his crew.
What's the superstition in this scene? IIRC He's not yet been called a Jonah. Is an officer singing considered bad luck?
Always loved the dynamic of Jack being a conservative old seadog and the doctor being the 1800 equivalent of a leftist-university bookworm.
Fraternizing with the crew as an officer is bad form and made the crew suspicious of him. Its hard to find an equivalent modern situation since sailing ships at the time was extremely hierarchical in a way that most people today would find bizarre.
Modern militaries still have officers and enlisted.
It wasn't fraternizing itself. It was fraternizing and being disrespected. If he fraternized in a way the common men respected, he'd be fine. But he acted like a limp-wristed, effeminate, indecisive idiot, while lowering himself to their level. He could act that way and still maintain their begrudging respect only by maintaining the veneer of an officer. He would still have to get along with the other officers, and considering he held the same rank as prepubescent boys, he didn't have their respect either. He's such a cringing, fricking loser who needed to look at himself and grow a spine.
>sings a bit too well
meanwhile the doctor and captain literally play gay duets all day in their bunk
you just dont get it dork
issue wasn't that he sang well
It was a matter of disrespect, the crew considered him a pariah and would rather pipe down to show their discontent.
Wrong. It's the fact he was joining in with the men.
His singing came from a posh performance angle instead of merely brute expression of joy commiseration and camaraderie. He looked like he was showing off to the men what a trained voice sounds like
Wrong, you cringe fricking moron.
Solid rebuttal pussy boy, if I ever see you in person I'll frick your ass til it prolapses and cut it out and keep it for a fleshlight
I'm gonna find you and break your fricking fingers with a hammer and shove your limp fist up your mothers floppy c**t so you can never type such moronic bullshit on here again.
The captain and doctor played music only with each other as equals and never showed it off in front of the crew
