That's the genius of rides like PotC. You feel as though you have watched a story, but they are simply a series of vignettes carefully arranged to mimic a story's dramatic progression. A much better & more succinct explanation than mine! I think Marc was being anal about there being a specific narrative... but I still agree with him.
