Pirates Of The Caribbean Meets Game Of Thrones: 5 Friendships That Would Work (& 5 That Wouldn't)
The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies and Game Of Thrones has a lot of similarities, with romance, adventure, politics, a little magic, and sword fighting all being the common themes. While the Disney movies tell the tales in a slightly less gruesome manner, there's a lot of simple comparisons between them, and that includes the characters.
While there are some moments on the ocean in Game Of Thrones, the series typically takes place on land, with huge castles and battlefields being the typical setting. However, if the characters from Westeros were to hop onto the Black Pearl and set sail across the seas, which characters would get along, and who would end up fighting to walk the plank?
10 Would Work: Will Turner & Jon Snow
Will Turner and Jon Snow are very similar people in their respective stories, and that is why they'd work so well as friends. Each of them stands out as being totally different from the rest of the characters in their stories because they're genuine, honest characters, which is what makes them such likable people.
Will and Jon always try to help as many people as possible by doing things by the book and being true leaders. While both of them can make mistakes, they're smart enough to learn from their mistakes and piece things together to improve, which they'd do well together.
9 Wouldn't Work: Elizabeth Swann & Daenerys Targaryen
In theory, these two strong and powerful female characters should work well as friends. They both stand up for what they believe in and have no problem telling people how they feel, no matter who they're facing. But in reality, this is a friendship that wouldn't go down well.
Daenerys is someone who is sly and cunning, often not good at taking advice and when she comes across other strong and powerful women, she typically doesn't handle the situation very well, which is why this friendship wouldn't work out well.
8 Would Work: Tia Dalma & Melisandre
When it comes to these respective stories, there are small elements of magic involved that make things different and interesting. Tia Dalma and Melisandre are the two characters that provide those moments, and that is likely what would bring these two together as friends.
While they are each able to use magical abilities, it isn't something that they do all the time, and that brings an element of mystery to them as well. It's never clear what they're thinking and that is what makes them so interesting, and could bring them together well as friends.
7 Wouldn't Work: Cutler Beckett & The Hound
Cutler Beckett is one of the best villains from the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise, and a big part of that is how underhanded he is. Cutler will do anything in his power to get what he wants, using his intelligence to his advantage throughout the story.
However, that is the opposite of The Hound. He's not interested in chatting and would rather just fight. Cutler likes to belittle people with his words, but that wouldn't work with The Hound, instead, he'd just find him annoying.
6 Would Work: Bootstrap Bill Turner & Ned Stark
Two loyal and trusted men who both get let down by others, which leads them into situations where they don't belong. For Bill Turner, that is becoming part of Davy Jones's crew, and for Ned, it is working in Kings Landing. However, together, they would get along well as honest men who want to do their best.
The fact that both of them still give their all, even in positions they don't wish to be in, showcases the type of people they are, which is why they'd connect. As two fathers who try to do their best for their children, they would have a lot in common if they were to fight side by side.
5 Wouldn't Work: Davy Jones & Arya Stark
Davy Jones is an eccentric character with a big personality who has a lot of charisma. While he might be a villain, he has no problem in being over the top about how he talks and showcases his passion, which is the complete opposite of how Arya Stark operates.
Arya is a mysterious character and someone who certainly prefers to keep to herself. She has no interest in big conversations and the manner in which Davy behaves as a villain is something that Arya would look to take down.
4 Would Work: Ian Mercer & Ramsay Bolton
In both Pirates Of The Caribbean and Game Of Thrones, these are the two most vicious characters that seemingly take a lot of pleasure from being sick and twisted. They like to cause harm to other people, and they're happy to play up and be friends with people in power to give themselves that opportunity.
They're not nice people, and they only have an interest in being friends with those in power that can aid them in any way possible. That is why they'd work well together as friends, as they would be out to cause as much harm as they could.
3 Wouldn't Work: Governor Weatherby Swann & The Mountain
Governor Weatherby Swann might be someone who finds himself in a position of power in most places, but whenever he comes across someone much scarier and stronger, he isn't able to cope. He gets scared and nervous easily and doesn't really express things well to solve any issues.
Alongside The Mountain, who isn't a big communicator, there's no doubt that they wouldn't get along. Weatherby doesn't have the personality to command a killing machine like The Mountain, and because of that, he would likely end up intimidating the Governor, potentially killing him instead!
2 Would Work: Captain Jack Sparrow & Tyrion Lannister
Stick these two on a deserted island with as much rum as possible, and they'd be happy men. Both Captain Jack Sparrow and Tyrion Lannister are notorious for their drinking, and they would certainly enjoy doing that together, which would make for quite the drinking contest.
They're both passionate and eccentric at times, and they're each a lot smarter than they may seem. They have a way with words which often leads to them talking their way out of trouble, and together, it's easy to see how they could get along.
1 Wouldn't Work: Captain Barbosa & Tywin Lannister
Unlike his son, Tywin Lannister likely wouldn't fit into the pirate world very well. He's all about power and control, and that would lead to tension with almost everyone on the high seas. One person he certainly wouldn't get along with is Captain Barbosa.
Barbosa also likes to be in control of situations, believing he is the captain and leader of every situation, no matter what. Because of that, they'd likely end up at loggerheads, trying to outdo each other, rather than getting along and working together.
