[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1014626, member: 151"] You're right, there are holes in your understanding. The curse was very specific. Anyone who stole the Aztec coins from the stone chest that was sent to Cortez would become one of the living dead. CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow foolishly lets first mate Barbossa know where the Aztec gold can be found. Barbossa leads a mutiny, deposes Sparrow and maroons him. Barbossa THEN goes to get the gold. AFTER, not BEFORE. No curse for Sparrow. *DING* Curse for the mutineers and THEIR captain, Barbossa. CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow stole a coin from the chest while trying to fool Barbossa. *DING* Instant curse. No payment involved. Eliza takes the coin off of an unconscious Will Turner...not from the chest. No curse. Will Turner's dad took the coin, but felt bad afterwards. He sent the coin on to his son. He took it from the stone chest. *DING* He's cursed. It's pretty consistent. I think your confusion over the timing of the gold may be confusing you. As for Will's dad: he should be dead...but if you were an undead freak, would you want to drop in on the son you virtually abandoned 12 years prior? He could just as easily have escaped his watery prison (10 years is a long time to work on your bonds and then walk across the ocean floor) and gone into hiding/disguise. But I'm inclined to think he's dead. However, with sequels...who knows? [/QUOTE]
