Given the protagonist is Will's son now fully aged it's been some good twenty years since On Stranger Tides, the difference is just age.

Seems like Will's back though, too. And getting a bit Davy Jones-y what with the coral on his face.

First Logan and now this. Is every teaser for upcoming blockbusters going to use a Johnny Cash song now?

Ghost Sharks. Because.

SyFy will probably be wanting a check, though.

I can dig it. Though I disagree with that article about 4's quality.

What are the criticisms of four? I was always rather fond of it as a film so I've never understood people's dislike of it.

Jack Sparrow origins, ahoy.

Also Will & Elizabeth expies, joy. On the other hand, ghost sharks.

He still hasn't gotten the Pearl out of that bottle, eh? At least the crew's alright.

So, the bad guy looks like Norrington without the honor and decency, which I actually really like. Since it would be out of character for Jack to just have been straight up evil when he started pirating, I get the feeling the villain will have been a nasty Knight Templar even when he was alive to make Jack's actions more sympathetic (even moreso than not considering pirates human - both Norrington and even Will did that too). Like how Beckett had anyone remotely connected to pirates killed, even children.

Though it makes me wish James had survived, even if not as a major character, so we could get that comparison in the movie. Though given Will's job, him riding guns ablaze out of the beyond in the Dutchman alongside the ghost of Norrington in the Dauntless isn't outside the realm of possibility. evil grin

I don't think the female lead is going to be an Elizabeth expy (though Will's son definitely looks like a Expy of him, that's probably intentional), since the things we see of her (sneaking around with Jack - albeit in a dress - being hanged for a crime, etc) don't lend themselves to Elizabeth's character type.

Wasn't Jack branded a pirate by Beckett for "stealing" (read: liberating) slaves? Maybe his encounter with Salazar is connected to that (not the initial incident but a later one) - the Spanish weren't exactly innocent.

Seriously though, how many supernatural, dead pirates out there could be enemies of Jack?

I mean, have you met Jack? I'm shocked that there's anyone in that ocean who doesn't have a grudge against him.

[up][up][up] In one of the books, I think (either that or a deleted scene). I really hope they keep it and not just ignore it like movies tend to do with tie-ins or deleted content.

[up][up] I suppose I can get the enemies of Jack thing it's just how every antagonist is a demonic pirate. It all has the feel of meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

...now that you mention it, I would love for Norrington to be part of Will's Dutchman crew.

Shame it's probably not possible, based on how the mechanics work. The Dutchman takes on the dying, not the dead. Norrington's body was cold for probably weeks by the time Will took over as captain.

I suppose I can get the enemies of Jack thing it's just how every antagonist is a demonic pirate. It all has the feel of meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I get that. I was just thinking about how funny this movie's title is. If you ask me, Dead Men have Told an awful lot of Tales over the course of this series.

[up] tell me about it. When that bald chick was prattling on about the dead ruling the sea, my thoughts were, "so what else is new?" The dead have been making the sea their b*tch since the first film of this series.

I'd actually have loved to see an interaction between Jones, Blackbeard and Salazar.

There's this feeling that the Caribbean is populated by very small community and everyone has met or at least heard of everyone else.

Jack's fascination with solving his problems with magic is probably why he has more ties with supernatural beasties than most.

Jack was apparently the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean before Barbossa betrayed him, so I'd imagine he's pissed off his fair share of (dead) people.

So they have decided to drop the idea from the deleted scene that if Elizabeth remained true for 10 years and waited for Will then he would be freed from the Dutchman? That’s a real shame, it really made the post credits scene worthwhile.
