I think that POTC shorts could be used to fill in some gaps or clear up some confusions so that they don`t have to drag that stuff in feature films. For example, if Phil and Syrena were meant to be one-off in OST, than they can make a short about what happened to them after she pulled him into the water, instead of stretching their story in sequels just ebcause some people didn`t understand that she saved him and must have eevrythign drawn out for them. Ditto Will on FD. Make a short about him ferrying the souls or whatever instead of forcefully bringing him back although he really doesn`t belong in the story anymore since his one is done and over with. Etc.
