How long can we keep a joke running? If our homages to "Pirates of the Caribbean" is any indication: as long as the franchise keeps going.
I admit hearing a new Jack Sparrow film added more incentive for me to get back to the gallery. The truth is if I had skipped this year and not done the next chapter of our never-ending "Pirates Ride" saga, there was no point of me ever coming back again. There had to be another homage, otherwise how would we ever find out if Erik and Crispie made it out in one piece? Okay, so the illustration Tony did for "Prince of Persia" spoiled the ending but exactly when does that future come to pass? After this movie? After Pirates 6? If "The Land Before Time" can last for 14 films, who is to say Johnny Depp can't do the same?
As much as I'm poking fun, there's a genuine sense of comfort in knowing however long Disney keeps greenlighting Pirates movies or how many more drawings we crank out based on them, the gag is always going to wrap up with Tony's piece. That's nice. - Jake
