Honestly, compared to what the Pirates movies have shown us, I doubt Black Panther will surprise me that much.

While I agree with many of the defenses of DMC, I still think it's my least favorite. I have some minor fixes that weren't in either of the videos.

1. Actually set up the Brethren Court for AWE rather than just not mention it until AWE itself. In AWE the Brethren Court is treated like you were already supposed to know about it, while the mention of it alone was just pulled out of the film's ass. TV tropes has a page for this, called Remember The New Guy, when a film or series introduces a character who was "always there" in the previous movies but was never seen or mentioned, yet the film acts as though the audience is supposed to know them.

2. Don't have Norrington betray Jack. I understand without him doing so, Beckett wouldn't have the chest, but they could have contrived several different ways to have him obtain it, and one of the best parts of DMC's middle third was the "forced chemistry" between Norrington and the pirates. Plus, after becoming Admiral, Norrington more or less disappears from AWE before being killed by Bootstrap, and even then that feels less like the conclusion of an arc and more like Bootstrap was really shipping Elizabeth with his son (considering in AWE, Will was basically DCEU Superman in terms of how little he had in common with his original portrayal).
