** Maybe the heart is magically protected from being damaged without direct human intervention? There's already so many other things in this universe that seem to be magically protected by other things after all.

*** A cool tidbit of lore from this deleted scene is how he explains this curse by saying "When I carved that traitorous vessel from my body, I cast upon it a terrible Geas", referring to one of the most important concepts in Myth/CelticMythology that spread from Ireland to Wales and Scotland. With Jones originally being from Scotland a few centuries past, this line makes a lot of sense for him.

** Tia Dalma is the fourth. Shortly after this, she makes a joke to the effect of "you enjoyed it a little" and Jack laughs.



*** In fact, he doesn't take the rope that Elizabeth throws to him, which indicates that he didn't want to come back.




to:

** Isn't the deal that Davy Jones has to be captain for ten years and away from his true love altogether? The curse tests love, and if the woman remains faithful, then it's broken.





to:

\n** And the maelstrom she created meant that only the Flying Dutchman could get close enough to fight with the Pearl. The armada kept its distance, meaning it couldn't give the Dutchman an advantage. The storm vanished literally once Davy Jones was killed.

** It may also have been as a backup plan so that, when Beckett caught up to him and the Brethren Court, Jack had the trump card of DAVY FREAKIN JONES on his side as a last resort.





to:

\n** It was, in the sense that without Calypso, there was no higher power that could capriciously decide a man's fate. All that mattered was grit, skill, and desire to survive. Think of it as this: In a world with a deity unshackled, that deity could one day decide "I don't like this person", and no matter what, you would die that day. Without a deity doing that, all that matters is your own skill, your own will to survive, and your own grit.

* Alternatively, the ones who can come back have to have been touched by the otherworldly. Jack and Barbossa both have made compacts with the other side (TWICE, in Jack's case). First, Jack made a deal to raise The Wicked Wench as the Black Pearl. Then the two men both bridged the lands of the Living and the Dead with the Aztec gold ("Couldn't resist, mate"). Could be that they can come back because there's still a trace of magic coursing through then that bridges life and death.
