User blog comment:TheWarrior29/Should POTCO be considered canon?/@comment-1999071-20140304034810/@comment-1984959-20140305052705

Okay, but why does Edward Teague, the biggest code fanatic, shoot a living person?
 * Perhaps it's because no one dissed the Code in POTCO? If not that, perhaps shooting down naysayers is part of the Code - thou shall not turn their backs on the Code.

Cutler Beckett did mention Price of Freedom.
 * Now, that's a bit of a stretch. Bear in mind, the Price of Freedom book (released 2011) hadn't been written yet when Dead Man's Chest came out (released 2006) - all that was known was the simple backstory that Jack freed a cargo of slaves and Beckett had Jack's ship sunk. For that reason, the connection between Beckett's mentioning of a future book and anything first introduced in POTCO that hasn't appeared in film are different matters entirely.

''Meta question: In Lego Star Wars and Lego POTC you can freely shoot people, and they got 10 and up ratings. It's not like a francise with a man being suffocated by Cthulhu in a pirate suit is family freindly. What is the problem>''
 * As with the above, there is no comparison. LEGO games are LEGO games. Simple as that.
