Personally, I think that the POTC movies don't absolutely need those secondary loves stories and I well prefer the Jack/Angelica's kind of relationship, that is more complicated and that we can't really call "love". But I imagine they're doing that to have a wider public...
 * I think that's probably why we ended up having Philip and Syrena...since Jack/Angelica's "love/hate" relationship wasn't really the "love" relationship needed for the film. I'm not supporting either relationship, but I'm not trying to oppose them either.
 * The way I see it, there should be one reason and one reason only to see these films: it's  Pirates of the Caribbean, so our main focus should be the pirates(otherwise, we'd call the films  Lovers of the Caribbean).

Again, not supporting the idea of having some lovers, but just me say on the matter. Though I guess it's to each is own, I suppose. ;)
