History Awesome / PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales

* After many requests and complaints from fans, the EnsembleDarkhorse Barbossa finally gets his own {{leitmotif}}, which he shares with [[spoiler: his daughter Carina]].

* Meta: Kudos to Creator/GeoffreyRush for so powerfully conveying, with a minimum of words, the sheer ''emotion'' of Barbossa [[spoiler: realizing Carina is his long-lost daughter]].

* [[spoiler: Barbossa's HeroicSacrifice can count as this once you consider how far he's come from being the cruel-hearted BigBad in the first movie. CharacterDevelopment indeed.]]

* [[BigDamnHeroes Captain Barbossa rescuing Jack, Carina and Henry]] [[spoiler: [[BigDamnHeroes by lowering himself down on the Black Pearl's anchor in the middle of the parted ocean water.]]]]

** [[spoiler: Before then, Jack taunting Salazar the same way he did all those years ago, claiming that he'll "let" him live if he surrenders. After seeing him as a wash-out in the beginning of the movie, we see a trace of the brave rogue he was before.]]

*** [[spoiler: Plus how Barbossa finishes off Salazar: By stabbing him with a sword as he falls from the anchor.]]

* [[BigDamnHeroes Captain Barbossa rescuing Jack, Carina and Henry]] [[spoiler: by lowering himself down on the Black Pearl's anchor in the middle of the parted ocean water.]]
* [[spoiler: Doubles as a TearJerker as well, but Barbossa's HeroicSacrifice. He lets go of the anchor and stabs Salazar with his sword before falling peacefully into the sea.]]

* Meta: Kudos to Creator/GeoffreyRush for so powerfully conveying, with a minimum of words, the sheer ''emotion'' of Barbossa [[spoiler: realizing Carina is his long-lost daughter]].

* In the climax, [[spoiler: Henry and Carina's combine forces to destroy the Trident.]]

* Carina is a role model, not for being smart and brave, but because [[spoiler: she's living proof that children don't have to turn out exactly like their parents. Her father was Barbossa, a pirate who only gave her the ruby and journal to earn herself a small fortune. But she didn't know that. Under the assumption he was a scientist who left her the journal as a dying wish, Carina followed her own path and went on to be highly educated (despite others accusing her as a "witch" for it).]]

* The way Salazar's crew is first introduce is both this and nightmare fuel.

* While on a rowboat with Salazar's crew [[MakesSenseInContext running towards him]], Jack uses a mini-anchor to rope one of Salazar's undead sharks and speeds away on it like it were a sled pulled by a husky. [[PlayedForLaughs And thus,]] [[SarcasmMode Captain Jack Sparrow invented the speedboat.]]

* The post-credits scene, which features [[spoiler: the return of Davy Jones]].

* The flashback showing a very young Jack defeating Salazar. He's just been given command of ''The Wicked Wench'' by the dying captain. What does he do? He sees the Devil's Triangle and his mind begins to work. ''taunts'' the pirate butcher to follow him. He orders his crew to throw the rigging around a rocky outcrop which allows the Wench to safely bypass the Triangle, while the ''Silent Mary'' is too far in its course to do maneuver around it and is headed for a straight on collision clash. The look on Salazar's face is ''priceless'' when he realizes he's been out smarted by this upstart.
** And this was back ''before'' he owned the Black Pearl.

* A young Henry being able to determine where his father was. This show us that even at a young age, his studies of ocean myths have worked for him.

* Elizabeth kinda gets a more indirect moment. Jack has been, through out the seires, built up as an irresistable charmer. In the scene where Henry meets him for the first time, Jack reveals that he's harbors feelings for her still, considerds Will unworthy of her and assumes she must, like all women, secretly long for him. But Henry, Elizabeth's son to Will, tells him to his face that she's never even bothered to ''mention'' him. She wasn't even there and she got him.

** And Jack's crew? They pay tribute to him giving him amongst other things his icon hat and hair beads. He ''earned'' his role as captain. The best part he's completely flabbergasted by all of this. A far cry from the drunken washout we see at the beginning.
