Is Jack Sparrow one of Us?

[Pica Pica]

So...

Yeah Jack Sparrow - I reckon he's either Androgyne or FTM.

[Pica Pica]

FTM tend to be cool guys, and Jack is one of them.
but
His slightly off-balance view on things, and ability to see many sides of a situation and work them through seems to be something androgynes often do.

But mainly, pure gut instinct. 

[J.T.]

I don't think he's TG... never got that impression.

[Laura91]

Who is Jack Sparrow?? 

[Pica Pica]

The eyeliner and braids was just his go at fuzzing the gender binary a bit (a phrase I believe I have never typed). You see how tidy most of the FTM minds around here are, that's a loose ended androgyne brain that.

[RebeccaFog]

But mainly, pure gut instinct. 

LOL! Nice try Pica, no cigar! I was thinking more in terms of especially her mannerisms, her eyeliner, braids, which, as I only musta implied, is definitely latent MtF!

And did "He" ever kiss Elizabeth? "I'm sorry, but you and I would have never worked out"

. . . was that for being impertinent, or was it impotent?

Once again Kiera thinks of the unthinkable.

That face slapping is a keen observation.  What if he always does something to make them slap his face because he needs to prevent himself from being allowed beyond a certain point in the romancing.  Like he can't allow anyone to see his genitals.

I haven't seen all of the movies so if he does show his genitals to people at some point, I would be wrong.

Since its a Disney trademark, Reeb, I really don't think you're going to be "proven" wrong!! *smile*

Jack's a very self-assured 18th-century lower-class but upwardly mobile metrosexual. Make-up was actually quite common among the aristocrats when Jack lived. He's expressing his ability to raise his social status. Just another metrosexual like David Beckham.

The proof? Why Keira Knightley of course!

[LostInTime]

No. Character was gender variant (for modern times and the fictional world he was placed in) but not T.

[tekla]

I thought the running joke was that J. Depp modeled the character on Keith Richards of the Stones.

[RebeccaFog]

That wasn't a joke.  It's true.

But Johnny is so much better looking than Kieth Richards.

There needs to be a choice on the poll for those of us who live in a cave and have no clue who Jack Sparrow is.

  I thought even cave-people knew Captain Jack Sparrow  . I mean he is sometimes the Captain of the Black Pearl (some political stuff that I don't fully understand), and he isn't bad looking to boot.
  I'm going to go with Pica on this one, He is FtM AND metrosexual.   


P.S. *whispers* Jack Sparrow is a character on the movie series Pirates of the Caribbean played by Johnny Depp.

Oh! I had no clue. I am not a big fan of fictional films. Documentaries are much more interesting in my opinion.

[tekla]

I like docs too, but PotC (just the first one really) is the kind of thing that Hollywood does do very well.  All star cast, great F/X, good fun.  Its fluff.  But its pretty good fluff.

[Pica Pica]

I rule my life by fictional stuff.

<whispers> thanks

At least I've heard of that movie  although haven't seen it yet. Now that I know there's possibly trans character, I'll put it in my netflix queue.

I don't think the writers meant for him to be trans, but yeah, he is a little 'odd'.  It is a very entertaining movie irregardless.

[RebeccaFog]

Genderly & sexually ambiguous.

What if Pica's premise is all wrong?

What if the qustion should not be

Is Jack Sparrow one of Us?

but rather, is Jack Sparrow several of us?

[AshleyBrenna]

Love Pirates of the Caribbean. But I never got that impression of Jack Sparrow. Sure he wore eye makeup and had long hair but I cant really think of anything else.

[Aria]

i think that's for jack sparrow and jack sparrow alone to know.
