Not even in the slightest. Yes, i understand this was probably a joke, but still. That scene was pretty dumb.

- coldtea 11y agoActually there's nothing dumb about the scene, except that there would be an upward pressure on the boat (buoyancy). If that was overcome (e.g. with some weights or strings holding it down), it would be perfectly fine to breath in there for a while. So, aside from the buoyancy issue, not only it's not "dumb", but that's exactly how old "diving bells" worked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_bell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_bell
- agentgt 11y agoReally... you take issue with some exaggeration in buoyancy physics over the undead pirates?
- chc 11y agoIt's pretty normal to be more bothered by casual violations of the way the world works than by fantasy elements. It's similar to the Uncanny Valley. With fantasy elements, our suspension of disbelief allows us to accept them as part of an alternate set of rules for the world. But when a part of the movie that seemed to be the same as the real world suddenly behaves differently, that can be off-putting and feel inconsistent. For example, if a character couldn't carry a small bucket of water but could carry a large man, many people would read that as an inconsistency rather than just accepting it.
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoI hate this argument. Fantasy movies are expected to be internally consistent. That means they follow the fantastical rules they set down, and they otherwise follow normal real-world rules. (Though I agree with coldtea that the PotC scene wasn't that bad.)
