Pitch Meeting: 5x16

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Pitch Meeting

Walt Disney had a surprise hit on their hands in the early 2000’s when Pirates of the Caribbean, based on a theme park ride and starring Johnny Depp, took the world by storm. Naturally, as is always the case in situations like this– Disney decided to make some sequels! A lot of them! The first Pirates sequel came in 2006 with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which was basically a part 1 of 2 without them straight up SAYING it was a part 1 of 2. The movie definitely raises some questions. Like did learning that Aztec gods exist not effect anyone in any way? How does this “morphing into sealife” thing work exactly? Can these bad guys teleport, or is that just for dramatic entrances and exits? Why didn’t Davy Jones protect his key before sleeping, after Will Turner specifically said he wanted it? Why does this movie just kind of end without resolving a single thing?
