We can always count on the wonderful and ever wandering minds of the Tumblr world to lead us down wild, disorienting, downright bizarre, and occasionally hilarious rabbit holes. Here, we present a group of Tumblr users dissecting every inch, each and every pixel, of a screenshot from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies — specifically, one in which Davy Jones and other pirates meet on land. As you may remember, Davy Jones is cursed never to set foot on dry land, which is why we see him standing in a bucket placed on sand in this scene. Tumblr users talked about how Davy Jones may have come to a realization that he would need to stand in a bucket filled with water on a sandbar just to circumnavigate the parameters of his curse, realizing that the character likely went through an entire trial and error process to get to this point.
Of course, other users took the bit one step further and wondered whether Jones is allowed to step foot on wetlands: marshes, swamps, and the like. While we may never find out that answer, considering the Pirates movies take place largely at sea, we're impressed by the headcanons Tumblr users create out of seemingly thin air — and the smarts on Davy Jones himself.
