We're back with the good old Pirates series, and boy do we have a lot to talk about. I seriously thought this was the last of the series though, but no this was not really. But hey, let's talk about the fifth film of the franchise I too am not familiar with, shall we? Legend says about Jack Sparrow's history, where he was still a young pirate and sailed with his father (I assume) in the seven seas on the Black Pearl. The thing is, led by Spanish Royal Navy, Salazar has decided to bring an end to piracy (not like, illegal downloads today though lol) by hunting down all pirate ships to end the troubles of sea. Sadly, being duped by the quickly succeeded Captain Sparrow, he was tricked into the Devil's Triangle, which led to a curse of the Spaniard and his crew to be forever undead, stuck in the Triangle forever. Jack Sparrow, after close to half a decade of losing to Blackbeard and finally getting back his ship (see previous movie, and that Spaniard are different from this one if I'm not wrong) while still unable to crack the lid (of the bottle) is left stuck with a small improperly made ship with his crew which is about to leave his ass behind lol. (Hey, pirate talk, so no censorship) Bring in Carina Symth, horologist (yes the front part sounds like whore, pirate talk) and astronomer, who has understood what his father left her with the book and decided to search for the truth while mistakenly being hunted as a witch. (Hey, science is no myth, ladies and gentlemen. My future salary depends on it lol) Combined with Will Turner's son Henry Turner who seeks a solution to save his father from the ship curse (recall Flying Dutchman), the two decide to aim for the Triden of Poseidon to resolve the above crisis. What crisis? Jack did it, as always. He traded his compass for a drink and thus betrayed the item, and unknown to him, was apparently the key to releasing the undead crew. And thus they are released from the Triangle, leading their ship (I wouldn't call that a ship) to eradicate ships one after another. Bringing to the attention of now pirate rich Barbossa (that one with the fake leg and the ten ships) (okay I promise to keep this short I'm just practising my writing skills lol) who has been removed of his ships, he ended up having to make a deal to hunt down the Sparrow under the threat of Salazar. I'll not dictate what happened in the process, but the end is most important. Because of Barbossa's knowledge of the stars (his star as a pirate to follow home, and the name to his child) and the seas (being former possessor of Gallilei Gallileo's diary which includes the ruby), he double-crosses the undead in typical pirate fashion, discovers that he was leading himself to the Trident of Poseidon with the girl who managed to figure out everything herself, which is now no surprise considering it's his daughter. The clue on the book assumes that the Trident exists with "every curse of the sea" (I'll assume all that Poseidon had on curse), and of course, destroying it will alleviate all of them. And so they did, but led to the loss (I wouldn't say death here because it's not the final movie yet lol) of Barbossa in order to save the others and also facilitated the union of Henry with his father and of course Carina, to whom you could just call her Barbossa now. What happens next? A hint at the end of the movie (you missed it? how could you) signals the return of a familiar claw (SPOILERS) owned by none other than the evil Davy Jones, which I assume will lead to the end of the franchise. Well, technically he's not cursed (by the Trident), but then, what is he? What will he do to harm the fellows of the sea? Maybe we will find out then.

Final conclusion to this series before I end this off for another day aye (lol), but suffice it to say people need to be more open to the series development, and not dwell on too much on the love tale that is Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Come on, I know that shit. Even my sis loves that. And then the third or fourth movie came out and everyone started to hate the series for continuing on the pirate tales. Hey guess what? They delivered. They gave you back the good old couple. Add in the son with a wife he carried back on her port (lol), and you've got a happy ending for now and a prospective happy ending in the future. Hey, I'll be looking forward to a nicer future with these people of the seas, and perhaps, it'll lead to the conclusion we'll end to love. (Nah, it's not possible with people today even Star Wars is disappointing apparently) Still, I liked this series, which is why I chased this show from the 3rd movie (and thus wasn't heavily affected by the love part) and have not been disappointed. Kudos to whoever did the special effects for the undead and especially the sharks because that was too real tbh what happens if you got bit on the part where its jaw didn't exist? Haha just joking, but I love the direction of where this series is going, and I'm optimistic for a good ending despite feeling like a revival of a money-making opportunity. (Happy, idiots?) Take your time Disney; make this series end good.



I'm not going to waste more time to talk about Klassic Note other than that final review of the year of Ten-chan's new single, so be sure to check that out if you liked her. Cya guys next year then, and until then... I wish I wouldn't cough till the following year. Turns out I may have to. Well, to each his set of problems. Mine just happens to be of my own cause I guess. Bye!

P.S. The new format does look a lot better so I might just use this starting from next week. What do you think? *silence* Oh I'm talking to myself? Oh well whatever haha
