[edit] Spoiler?
The first paragraph of "Cinema and Tv", which discusses Pirates of The Carribean, might be seen as a spoiler, despite being only speculation. That level of detail isnt neccessary for an article on Kraken, and should have spolier tags if it is to say in. I say remove the plot-specific bits (notably, "It is also rumored that the kraken will kill Barbossa by crushing his body"), seen as this isnt an article about the film.
[edit] List vs. history
This article really should be split into a disambiguation and a history. The disambiguation should get its own page, with the standard For other uses intro at the top of this page. The problem with this page as it stands is that users looking for a particular kraken topic have to wade through tons of prose, and those looking for a history get sentence fragments and lists. -Harmil 15:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Effects
While watching Pirates 2, I was struck by the fact that although this is a very old mythos, I think that was the first time the Kraken has ever been portrayed with any degree of realistic graphics. That seems worth mentioning, though I thought I'd confirm it first. --Masamage 04:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- Does anyone else think this is interesting enough to bring up? --Masamage 05:22, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
How do you pronounce Kraken?
Kray-ken or Crack-en?
In Pirates of the Carabean, it was generally pronounced as Crackin', but there was a conversation between two pirates basically indicating that it depended on the language. --71.118.168.253 05:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pirates of the Carrabean
"The best direct look anyone can get is when Will Turner, who has fallen into the water, briefly spies it from behind, where it appears to be a large squid-like creature with a crustacean body."
It looked more like a tentacled Starfish to me, which I, personally found as a dissappointment.
"Another rumor is that the Kraken might possibly die when Davy Jones dies, however that speculation lies in direct conflict with Jack Sparrow's words near the end of Dead Man's Chest."
Which words, exactly? We need an exact quote.

I belive Jack's exact words were "Can't let you do that Willaim. 'Cause if Jones is dead, whose to call his terrible beastie off the hunt, aye?"
