15:54 actually it's in a deleted scene Jack tells Beckett that "people aren't cargo mate" because Beckett had asked Jack to transport slaves and instead Jack set them free and thus is how he got deemed a pirate.

"You'd best start believin' in tired old cannons mate, cause you're in one" is also a reference to Curse of The Black Pearl: "You'd best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner. You're in one."

"oh no the flags have the stupendium on them, whats about to happen" LITERALLY MY EXACT REACTION WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS BATTLE

The “based on your fate you already live in misery” is a wordplay on the term “misery” and the US state of Missouri, which I think is where starlord was born

"I'm not from Earth, i'm from Missouri." "Yeah, that's on 'earth', dipshit. what are you hassling us for?"

Jack said “distraction” and immediately noticed that his ship had been sunk. Star Lord played his part by distracting him via the rap battle.

"I saw that dude on Counter-Earth when he was selling meth" was taking a jab at Davy Jones and the events of the 3rd Guardians movie, where there was a literal meth-dealing octopus on Counter-Earth

Ah! Thank you! I've only seen Guarians 3 once, so I didn't remember that detail.

20:45 "Gibbs, Plan B / Plan B, Gibbs" - With the parent issues coming up, I wonder if that's a sly nod to the Plan B "morning after" pill to prevent having children?

The "flipping the bird" thing is also a visual reference to Peter Quill in the police line up in Guardians of the Galaxy. The actor even does the jack-in-the-box winding motion like Quill did.

The part with Jack and the slaves is not just a theory, its actually cannon. There was a whole backstory explained in books that came out around the same time. Becket (the villain from pirates 3) ordered Jack to cargo slaves, Jack refused, so Becket burned his ship down. Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to get the ship back, but it was forever burned, thats why the Black Pearl is black.The whole thing Davy jones comes for in the second movie is to get payment on that deal.

which he of course does by calling for what he knows Jack wont do, and that is hand over the 100 souls such is like Becket originally charged him with.

Listen, if Chris Pratt cant be bothered to try and sound like whatever character he is portaying in any given movie, then id say the guy doing the starlord thing is just doing a spot on impression on their part

This is a very good point 😅

The live in misery line is about the fact that Star-Lord was born in Missouri

"Ask nicely, or the rodent won't say hi to Yondu for 'ya!" is talking about how Rocket basically died for like a minute in Guardians 3, so he would've been able to see Yondu at the other side

If I remember correctly, the “shanty” mostly kind of disses Star Lord’s whole story by expressing how comparable and/or predictable it is to the Pirates films, but I could be off on that. It might also have to do with Star Lord being emotionally driven to a fault. I dunno, that was my initial guess 😅

"There once was a kid with no ounce of a clue, abducted and ripped from his house for doubloons" - Peter Quill is abducted by Yondu, who was paid to deliver him to Ego. "Deprived of a childhood, he's now a buffoon, like his brain had been draining the fountain of youth" - Basically calling Starlord a manchild, with only his brain being kept young. Although it could also be subtly calling him braindead, because drinking straight water from the fountain of youth will kill you. It must be mixed with a mermaid's tear to actually give youth. "Your state is a place you don't need to be visiting, based on your fate you already live in misery" the US state Starlord was born in is Missouri, which sounds like misery. "Can't call you son if you're not a son to someone, skimmed through your bloody films and thought, where's the mum gone?" - every parent figure Starlord ever had (his mom, Ego and Yondu) died in front of him. Meanwhile, Jack's parents live in Tortuga (his father Cap'n Teague is the undying keeper of the Pirate's Code, and his mother... His father keeps her as a shrunken skull ornament)

Wheres the mum gone? Rap battle Wheres the rum gone? Jp Movie 😂😂😂 great video

Star Lord does say "eff that" in his 2nd verse. The reason Sparrow brings up the "head pop like popcorn" is because in GotG 3, Adam Warlock saves Star Lord from dying in space (Star Lord lost his helmet in GotG 2). Adam Warlock ("the guy with the eyebrows") is who Sparrow was referring to when he said there was gold on Star Lords ship. He's basically saying that Star Lord would have perished for good without Adam, since the rest of his team couldn't save him.

Some great bars there especially for Mike, and Freeced did an awesome impression, but I lost it at Stupes! I’ll bet the rest of my doubloons that they didn’t even have to buy the outfit… (Also, is that BassedOlaf in the blueish vest with a sword?)

Had to set some time aside to watch this one! I'm impressed by how many references you picked up on right away, there are definitely ones I didn't get till after the video was out /.\

Zarg-nuts are a snack food in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. Drax was mad at Mantis for eating all of them in the Holiday Special.

Not sure if you caught this since recording, but you didn't respond to it so I figured I'd tell you "Your state is a place you don't need to be visiting based on your fate you already live in misery" Because, you know, misery sounds like Missouri

Johnny Depp has said he wouldn't do anymore Disney and, specifically, Pirates movies for, and I quote "$300 million and one million alpacas". It's part of the reason there were alpacas at the trial.

This battle is a breed of its own.

If you're looking for more rap battles to react to, Whitney Avalon has some good stuff too. "Katniss vs. Hermione" is one of my favorites. And the Birds of Prey one is really cool too, thought it isn't really a "battle" in the traditional sense.

was Jack, in the first movie, predicting the events of the second? cuz he mentioned a tribe making him their chief in Curse of the Black Pearl, but the events of Dead Man's Chest haven't happened yet.

I don't know if you didn't catch it, or just didn't mention it, but the shanty part? the instrumentals to that part was the same as drunken sailor. just a neat little tidbit.
