So Elizabeth got sick of not getting any for ten years so she decided to look for a way to free Will and oh what luck, she hears about the Trident of Poseidon. She sets out to search for it but something goes wrong and eventually she is killed during the hunt. Husband and wife then reunite on the edge between worlds and Elizabeth spills everything, about the trident and about the lengths she went through to get it. Will is obviosuly not going to ferry her to the other side and he can't keep her on the Dutchman because he won't let their son be an orphan so he brings her back to life, breaking Calypso's rules and corrupting his purpose. Which also expalins why he freaked out when Henry became so determined to save him.

Henry, however, being a sailor and being romantically involved with Carina, will likely have these inheritances entrusted to him.]]

If you noticed in the original trilogy, in ''Curse'', the English are sitting in the background as a third party among the heroes and arrive to clean up the mess at the end. In ''Dead Man's Chest'' and ''At World's End'', a British entity (the EITC) is part of the BigBadDummivirate. In the fourth movie, the Spanish too are a bit of a third party and they mop up what's left of their rival expeditions at the end. Then here comes this one and another Spaniard is the villain. I can see a pattern forming wherein a major empire (or at least, their citizens) are somewhat destined to be entwined in Jack and company's adventures.

Moreover, it's worth noting that the main villain of this one and ''Dead Man's Chest'' are both once-mortal supernatural beings whom Jack has run afoul of in the past.

I doubt a ship of the 1700s (even of the Silent Mary's size) could have the ability to store live sharks - and even if they did, why would they? Perhaps Salazar and the crew did a bit of shark hunting (ala Assassin's CreedIV) beforehand and decided to keep the bodies as meat or maybe even souvenirs.

[[WMG: The Triangle IS the reason why the Silent Mary and her crew are cursed.]]
Since the movie doesn't explain much about the specifics of the curse, perhaps in this universe, the Triangle has a curse that, anyone who enters it will become living ghosts and trapped inside it.

[[WMG: The compass is also the reason why [[spoiler: Davy Jones has returned.]]]]
The curse of the compass relases anyone's worst fears should you choose to betray it. And Salazar notwithstanding, who else has Jack come to fear the most over the years?

* Alternately, Jack visited Tia Dalma to find out how the compass ''works''. Hence, she "gave" him the ''power'' of the compass.




to:

* Will himself messed up the curse's escape-clause, because when he saw that Elizabeth on shore was accompanied by their son, he flipped out from excitement at realizing he's a father, and set foot on land ''before'' the requisite 10 years were quiiiiiiiite over. He doesn't explain this to Henry because he doesn't want the boy to feel guilty over Will's failure to escape the ''Dutchman''.

* Calypso was pissed off and changed the terms of the curse as revenge on men for binding her inside a human body for centuries. She was the one with control over the curse and could - and, given she was known for having a somewhat mercurial personality anyway, probably ''would'' - alter it at will.

[[WMG: The next film will involve Jack's own SpinOffspring]]
It would be fitting for him having to deal with his own kid after having to be around the ones of the other protagonists. Maybe to really bring some closure, their mother will turn out to be Anamaria which would explain her absence after the first film.

The main theme of the films so far has been magic fading from the world as more of it is discovered. The destruction of the trident broke every curse to fit this theme. In the next film, Calypso will resurrect Davy Jones and the two will be the villains. Davy Jones might even be working against her leading to an uneasy alliance with Jack and co. The sixth film will retcon Calypso as the source of every curse and supernatural power Jack has encountered across his life; she is the heathen god who cursed the Aztec treasure in the first film, we already know she's the source of Davy Jones, she will be revealed to have trained Blackbeard in voodoo magic during her time as Tia Dalma, she will be the creator of the Fountain of Youth as well. Calypso will also be revealed as Poseidon's daughter, explaining her power over the seas and why Poseidon's Trident would have power over her magic. Shansa is either Calypso's sister, daughter or a former disciple. She might even be Calypso herself, imprisoned in human form once again. At the end of the film, Calypso will either die or be trapped in human form without her powers with this bringing about the end of magic in the Pirates universe.

She might even be Calypso herself, imprisoned in human form once again.again with the explanation that trapping Calypso in human form requires a human host (if Naomie Harris declines to return). At the end of the film, Calypso will either die or be trapped in human form without her powers with this bringing about the end of magic in the Pirates universe. With this retconning, Calypso would be the ultimate final threat and bring the entire franchise full circle. And searching for a way to kill a god is a suitable final journey for our heroes.

* The curse means Will has to stay with the Dutchman forever. Him going all barnacled was simply an effect of the curse due to him having no heart; Jones went all tentacled due to the curse making his outside match his inside IE heartless.

[[WMG: Henry was lying when he said that his mother never talked about Jack.]]
Even as a young boy, Henry had this image of Jack Sparrow as this amazing clever badass pirate who would be able to help him find the Trident and break Will's curse. He must have heard about Jack's adventures and that Jack knew his parents from somewhere, and since he only saw his father once a year at best, he most likely heard most of it from Elizabeth. But Elizabeth knew that if Jack found out she had told Henry about him he would have been obnoxious about it, so she made Henry promise that if he ever ran into Jack to tell him that she had never mentioned him. Basically Elizabeth did it to mess with Jack. And it worked.

[[WMG: Why Will was still stuck on the Flying Dutchman and cursed even though the curse should have been broken after 10 years of Elizabeth being faithful to him.]]
* He couldn't find someone else to pass the curse on to and so decided to stay even though he could have left.
* The curse is specific about Elizabeth having to go and meet him every year for it to be lifted; one year she was sick or otherwise incapacitated and couldn't meet him so the curse took effect.
