Nautilus is trying so bad to be Pirates of the Caribbean, down to the Only Technically Legally Distinct Score™️, the Elizabeth Swan character taken captive by pirates, Pintel & Ragetti-esque side character duo, and the same villains*. Like, on one hand, I’m glad to see someone trying to make a PotC successor in the absence of new PotC, but the series is at its best when it isn’t.
*the one thing I can say in favor of its PotC inspiration is that it takes the East India Trading Company’s Colonialism of real world peoples a little more seriously as actual Colonialism, and not just Big Bad Corporation destroying magic and antagonizing the rockstar non-conformist pirates
