Point… I guess they wouldn't feature anyone disintegrating in a cartoon, though.

I guess I'll be that guy: pirates, guns, undead, swords, ships, gloom, really great set and costume design, Bardem chewing scenery so much he's got splinters in his tongue - I'm there. I make no apologies. I know I'm part of the problem, and I don't fucking care.
