I kinda wish Pirates of the Carribean never got made. I really enjoyed the first movie, then I went to see the second one and it was pretty awful. The third movie, first I didnät get around to watching it. Then Kajsa told me she saw it and retold me the plot. And after that I could make a grown up decision about not spending monay on it. I've heard that the fourth one is better, but I don't really care enough.
So the world doesn't need to keep the franchise around for my sake. One good movie out of four is just not worth the consequences PotC has brought to the pirate costumes as costume parties.
When I was a kid, or teenager, dressing up as a pirate meant: pegleg, eyepatch, parrot, earring. That kinda thing. These days dressing up as a pirate menas: eyeliner, dreads, jewellry. I'd have no problems at all if that were tha main ingredients of Jack Sparrow cosplay. But even those who dress up as random pirates and don't even bother with dreads, even those people wear eyeliner. I always want to go up to them and ask "SINCE WHEN DOES EYELINER MEAN PIRATE??!?!?!", but I already know the answer. Since 2003.
