Pirates of The Caribbean is The Greatest and Only Major Film Series Depicting the East India Trading Company as the Villain it Was

Pirates of the Caribbean did what no major film series has ever done, show us the evils of the East India Trading Company and all the ethnic groups united to fight back against it.

As a Jamaican, I am especially enamored with these movies as Elizabeth and Will live there in the first and second films. They live in the now sunken, Port Royal. In Port Royal we see the beginnings of England's slave trade and indentured servants through the background actors. From the very begining, it is established that England and its East India Trading Company are villainous and vile. That's that stuff I like. As the films progress, we see Taino represented on islands not yet ransacked by England and that most of the Pirates are people wronged by England. By "At World's End", we meet Sao Feng and he tells us that the East India Trading Company has made trade among his region (South China) impossible. He is a Pirate when we meet him, but he notes that his uncle's temple was broken into, making me wonder if he was always a Pirate or if he was made into one by being disrupted by the East India Trading Company. At this point, we also know there are 9 Pirate Lords all only from places effected by the East India Trading Company.

• Ammand - Pirate Lord of the Black Sea

• Hector Barbossa - Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea

• Chevalle - Pirate Lord of the Mediterranean Sea

• Ching - Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean

• Jocard - Pirate Lord of the Atlantic Ocean

• Jack Sparrow - Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea

• Sumbhajee Angria - Pirate Lord of the Indian Ocean

• Elizabeth Swann - Pirate Lord of the South China Sea (took Sao Feng's place)

• Eduardo Villanueva - Pirate Lord of the Adriatic Sea

No coincidence, all these Pirates are direct results of England squeezing their people dry. Much like our most famous pirates of today, Somali pirates, they aren't stealing for fun. We actually never see them doing things "wrong", but we see the East India Trading Company do things wrong all the time. No one member of the East India Trading Company has any goal in mind except to stop Pirates from taking the resources they stole from their home counties. Without saying so, these pirates are all collaborating against their oppressor. I'm impressed by this for several reasons.

1. Disney was not pushing wokeness at this time

2. This entire concept is clear despite not being referenced in the dialogue

3. Somehow this just seems like a cool action movie

4. Anti-colonialism in a movie geared towards teens is so ahead of its time

5. How did the writer sneak this in without the CEO noticing?

I don't know. What I do know is that as a proud West Indian, I love to see the East India Trading Company get wrecked.
