New pirates excite five things we noticed vs swallows

A great topic! Here are five things we noticed that are new or different in the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) compared to the previous films in the franchise:

  1. New villain: Captain Salazar: Unlike the iconic Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) or Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) is a new and formidable villain. He's a ghostly pirate hunter who's been cursed to seek revenge on all pirates, including the living.
  2. New protagonist: Henry Turner: Henry (Brenton Thwaites) is the son of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). He's a young and adventurous pirate who's on a quest to break the curse that's turned his father into the Flying Dutchman. Henry's character brings a fresh perspective to the franchise.
  3. New supernatural elements: Dead Men Tell No Tales introduces new supernatural elements, such as the ghostly pirates, the Flying Dutchman, and the cursed Aztec gold. These elements add a new layer of excitement and danger to the franchise.
  4. More emphasis on humor: While the Pirates franchise has always had a sense of humor, Dead Men Tell No Tales seems to have a more lighthearted tone. The film features more comedic moments, particularly between Henry and his love interest, Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario).
  5. New setting: The High Seas and the Caribbean: While the previous films took place in various locations, including the Caribbean, Dead Men Tell No Tales focuses more on the high seas and the Caribbean. The film features stunning oceanic landscapes, ship-to-ship battles, and underwater sequences, which add to the sense of adventure and excitement.

These changes bring a fresh perspective to the franchise, while still maintaining the spirit of the original Pirates of the Caribbean films.
