    The sword fight was pretty fun & yeah it did look like Hook was fighting his cartoon self :P

    This is an interesting remark. Like others I had indeed noticed when those stills were released that BB looked a lot like the traditional Hook we know. So maybe this duel was supposed to depict the inner “duel” Hook’s having with himself, with BB representing the old, jaded, revenge seeking, bad guy Hook (the pirate aspect of him). Like he’s LITERALLY fighting with himself. Be the good guy who helps a woman find her love again, or be the pirate who only looks out for himself. Or I’m overthinking things again. ;)

    Not over thinking, I thought the same thing.

    As for Blackbeard, I dont think he was ever meant as more than a one-off character and vague reference to the book. And from a character perspective I think Hook 100% made the right call there. Hook could not let someone get away with stealing his ship (and his reputation). There was no guarantee that Blackbeard would’ve actually led him to prince Eric. More likely he’d have left him on a remote island somewhere without ship or crew (and his crew would never follow him again after that). Ariel’s reaction seemed a bit over the top to me. I can understand she was angry, but I’m sure Hook would’ve continued helping her search for Eric, even without Blackbeard if she’d stuck around. By the way, did anyone else expect her to become shark-food when she jumped into the water like that?

    Agreed & LOL, yes I did! However I also chuckled & rolled my eyes at the ‘sharks’ eating BB- they must have millions of piranha type sharks just floating about waiting for bleeding things to hit the water- esp for them to have devoured a whole adult male human & all this clothes in seconds, with no blood in the water 😉

    Don’t forget all the bubbles. Those sharks were so hungry the made a whirlpool.
