? If Carina's mother did not die in Pirates of the Caribbean, she would have been a major part of Carina's life, providing guidance and support. Carina would have never had to worry about being alone and her mother would have been there to help her make decisions and to be a comforting presence in her life. Additionally, the dramatic tension in the movie would have been significantly reduced as there would have been no need for Will and Carina to search for the trident of Poseidon in order to bring her mother back to life.
