Jack Rackham is the biggest coward on the show


Why doesn't he go find Eleanor and capture her if it means so much to him?

"Wah wah, Eleanor took something from me."

What about what you, Charles Vane, and crew took from Max, Richard, and Eleanor????

It still doesn't sit right with me how Jack Rackham lost the pearls but he let Max take the punishment for it. Coward.

No one can blame Eleanor and Max for siding with England after what the pirates have done to them.


ew 😛

Bonney was being pretty lame to, talking about not being able to kill Max.

Its not being a coward, ots being smart enough to know that that wasnt the right thing to do in that moment. Anyone in his position would want revenge for the murder of someone they considered to be close. Even if they had previously done bad things to the murderers.

He's been a coward since episode 1, he is smart in the sense that he knows he's a coward

When someone knows themself well enough to admit their faults, that makes them a better, and potentially more dangerous person. Jack has a brain and a mouth that move at lightspeed. And with a human buzzsaw like Anne at his side, it's not so bad if he's less than stellar at fighting.

He is a bit cowardly and tries to compensate for it, even when he can't.

The writers and the actor are really doing a good job with his character.
