In Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Blackbeard abuses Jack Sparrow by carving something that looks kind of like a pitchfork into his voodoo doll, and thus onto the right side of Jack’s chest.

Now, I understand that the scene from the first movie was deleted and is therefore not canonical. But really: couldn’t they have been consistent?
