Here's my rant.

I haven't any problem with Bootstrap's patheticness. It's certainly more interesting (to me anyway) than what you envisioned for him.

I also don't have any problem with Captain Jack's behavior. If nothing else it certainly helps shed light on why the first crew of the Black Pearl mutinied and left him to die.

I always felt that the first movie made it seem they mutinied because they were greedy, and Barbossa swayed them as well. The way Barbossa whips them into a frenzy is indicative that they aren't the brightest crew. There was no indication that Jack mistreated them.
