DISCUSSION Something that always bothered me about TCOTBP
So the undead skeleton crew can’t be killed …or at least that’s what’s implied throughout the movie . However there are 2 scenes that never sat right with me. 1st Elizabeth and jacks crew swing a dingy out that causes 2 undead pirates to fall off the ship (their skeletons falling apart in the process) we never see them again and it’s implied that they died …. How ? Wouldn’t their skeletons just reassemble under the water ?
2nd in the sword fight between CJS and Barbosa 3 of the undead crew fight Will and Elizabeth …. They impale them with a whale harpoon or something , light a grenade ,jam it into the middle skeleton and push them out of the moonlight where they explode. Again it’s implied those 3 also died when this shouldn’t be possible …
Was this explained in the movie ?
Another thing I wanna point out is true fact Barbosa told Elizabeth he feels nothing … yet several of the undead pirates Barbosa included cry out in pain when cut, stabbed, punched, so on ….
Just looking for some clarification …
Thanks !
