Lol no need to apologize. You just seem to support every single change or thing Disney does so I figured he’d at least have one supporter.

So female pirates automatically come from a different country and have different accents?
I don’t see the logic. Male or female, there should be consistency.
I just provided you an example of a famous female redhead pirate. So I would put the question back to you, do all female pirates automatically HAVE to be the same as their male counterparts? Why should there be consistency when there is no such thing as a consistent female pirate.

Love the new grotto additions. The new auction scene is bad but at least the lighting is better than WDW's. Don't understand why they left the Davy Jones audio at the end of the ride, though.
By restoring that original audio regarding a cursed treasure, it makes Johnny Depp cursed at the end of the ride. He is going to die.

That is not a true characterization of me at all, and I've stated such when brought up previously. While I do give Disney the benefit of the doubt a lot of times, there are changes I don't like. However I typically am not just going to bash something because its a change.

Wow the ride looks amazing. The AA's are so fluid. Is the Donkey normally that... intense?! I love the new little scene, the restored cave... The lighting.
In the ship/fort battle is that sky lighting/projection new?

I’m not sure we’ll be getting anywhere with that question.

I normally like stuff that involves an octopus but... what? Is this based on some rejected art?

The lighting seems better, as well as the audio. The additions of the face-changing pirate and octopus are quite nice and don’t take away from overall attraction. So happy Davy Jones is gone, and I’m ecstatic to hear the previous audio again.
I hate Redd and her corny chicken gang, but I love the rest.

Might be the only time we ever agree on something though.
In all seriousness this change doesn't strike me as that big of a deal. I respect that some fans are super passionate about Pirates and hate when Disney tinkers with it, but for some reason I can't get that worked up about this particular change. It'll likely go unnoticed by those who aren't intimately familiar with the attraction, which is probably the vast majority of riders. The spirit of the show appears to be intact and the new story line is a better fit for an audience of families with kids. In the end I'm happy that the auction scene has moved to Yesterland where it belongs.

I totally didn’t see that effect since I was looking at the octopus. Very nice but I’m still not sure about this scenes placement. Is it based on some forgotten unused art?
The auction scene is just embarrassing and sticks out. Cringey dialogue, bad voice performances, and the same recycled face for the redhead. The Paris version with the silent redhead who actually looks like the character blows this garbage away.

Yep. I'm pretty sure it's just a simple mirror trick like the one in this Empire Strikes Back knick knack I have. Still really enjoy it a lot, though. The costume and character design seems to work a lot better with the ride than the new auction scene does.
Does the awful voice acting, lack of logic, and lack of humor in the new scene not bother you at all?Might be the only time we ever agree on something though.
