Oh, I really wish this had been in the movie. I found the end sequence to be completely flat. There were all these very interesting plot threads, none of which came to fruition. Not only was it disappointing, it also felt really shabby in comparison to what we know the franchise is capable of. It gave me the impression that the producers were banking on popularity to bring people in and so felt that they could throw quality to the wayside.
Anyway, to bring it back to you. (Me, get stuck on a rant and refuse to let it go until it is not just dead, it has been ripped into little shreds and scattered to the wind? Oh, definitely not. I'm far more reasonable than that.) If something like this scene had been included in the film the last 20-30 minutes of the movie would have been worth something. It would have tightened up the ending, provided a decent reason for the Calypso plot, and been a far better hook for a sequel. The more I think about it, the more fond I grow of this ending. I'm really surprised the scriptwriters didn't come up with it themselves. (Then again, I personally believe that the scriptwriters got 85% of the way through the movie and then decided to go party, probably leaving a monkey to finish up the script, so maybe it's not too surprising.)
