OK, I didn't get that at all.

But then, that still doesn't explain why Barbossa is still alive. Maybe they're saving that explanation for 3? And they're gonna have to explain how they're bringing Jack back then.


I remember speculation after the first one about whether the monkey stealing the coin would re-trigger the curse, and yeah, it seemed unfair that if one of them stole it again, they would all be cursed again, but then there was the whole question of Barbossa.
