potc: awe

[mimesere]

...AHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.



So. I'm supposed to be cheering for the side what has Barbossa on it? REALLY? Barbossa? And against the side with my boo? Like, I am supposed to *not* be cheering for the anti-piracy people? Um. AHAHAHAHAHA No.

'Cause I will say again: what made CotBP awesome was not that it (entirely) posited PIRACY YAYS! but that it presented piracy as one way to be a good man *and* that it implied that there was a middle ground between Jack and Norrington (Will) that could be walked.

We have long since left that message in the dust. Whatevs, Jerry, Gore, and T&T, WAY TO SUCK THE CHARM OUT OF A FRANCHISE. Boo fucking hoo, piracy is being exterminated. BOO FUCKING HOO. Let me pull out the world's tiniest violin.

Just...no.

I wouldn´t bet on anyone being on anyone´s side yet. And I guess the problem is that while Beckett claims to be anti-pirate, it´s more like they´re hindering *him* of plundering people himself - which (to me) seems even worse since he *should* be representing law and order and not just his own interests. (Which is why I´m hoping that the new "middle way" will be Norrington, who surely isn´t a pirate, but could turn against Beckett.)

I...wish I trusted T&T, Gore, and Jerry that much. Really, truly I do. And I'm totally down with being all Beckett Is Teh Evol Noes! but...they don't seem to actually be differentiating between Norrington, Beckett, and Davy Jones and that makes me worry.
