User blog comment:MiBa/Two questions about the film/@comment-996391-20110526115001

1. The mermaid who slapped Jack wasn't Tamara. That was Marina, and the scene wasn't included in the film.

2. I think that the Spanish didn't plan to destroy the Fountain, just to ensure that no one can use it to gain immortality. That's why they took the Chalices, so that no one could use them anymore. But when the Chalices were stolen by Jack, the Spanish had to destroy the Fountain.
