That totally explains a certain Disney franchise :lol

Reason 90 of 5000 for why Disney should get the PR franchise back :p

The sad thing is, there is like a billion different ways they could have made the pirate theme work without bring up ideas of http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tpCLL0lgKG...40/2z6ts9e.jpg or http://kevinwojo.files.wordpress.com...n-phillips.jpg

The problem is the negative connotations the word has. No matter how swashbuckling the adventures are, people will bitch about pirates being the heroes regardless.

How bad can pirates be for kids when Disney is milking the pirate name for all ages? :lol Yes, there's Pirates of the Caribbean for older audiences but also Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy and Jake and the Neverland Pirates for younger audiences.

You must remember, Disney gets away with everything :p
And the pirates are the villains in Peter Pan (Never say any sequels/spinoffs, though).

Because most of the time in kid's programming, the pirate is used as a villain or comic relief ploy, never really as the main hero. True there are some shows that break this mold, but 95% it's a pirate being villainous. Of course it wouldn't be the first time Power Rangers was close to pirates...

Yes, yes, God yes!

THIS 100%. Or maybe Nobel Gallon Zord, Swashbuckle Schooner Zord, I could go on with better names than "Sky Ship"

Has the Internet really ruined the thought of pirate heroes?
