(#3) The Rum Is Always Gone
In a now famous scene from the first movie, Elizabeth and Jack are left to die on a small island. Elizabeth soon discovers the island is a cache for rum smugglers, with much of their wares still tucked away. While Jack just wants to get drunk, Elizabeth decides to burn everything to create a smoke signal. This leads to Jack's beloved quote, "But why is the rum gone?"
It's proven so popular, throughout the sequels almost every time Jack has tried to get a swig of his favorite drink, it's nowhere to be found. It was a funny line in 2003, but by the third time the rum was gone the sheen had worn away. It's the Caribbean. Surely at some point, they'd come across some rum.

(#11) A Woman Pretends To Be Someone Else
The Caribbean is a man's world, but Elizabeth Swann is a cunning woman who doesn't play by the rules. In the first film, she claims her last name is Turner to the crew of the Pearl in order to disguise the fact she's a governor's daughter. In Dead Man's Chest, she pretends to be male member of a ship so she can get passage to find Jack. In the third film, the trope begins to wear ragged as she impersonates the sea goddess Calypso. After a while, it'd be great just to see her shine as herself in one of these films.
Oh, and let's not forget that at the start of On Stranger Tides, Penelope Cruz's Angelica pretends to be Jack Sparrow. Because... it's fun to see her play dress up?

(#4) There's Always A Weird, Immortality Curse Afflicting A Crew Of Pirates
The first movie revolved around the Black Pearl's crew getting cursed by an Aztec treasure. The afflicted pirates become immortal, and look like skeletons in moonlight. Overall, pretty cool stuff. In Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, not only is Jack trying to escape a supernatural debt to protect his soul, but Davy Jones and his crew are cursed to live as immortal man/sea creature hybrids.
The fourth film features Blackbeard's crew, who are essentially (immortal) zombies in bad makeup. With four films of supernatural crews, it's easy to think the entire Atlantic is full of undead pirate crews afflicted with supernatural maladies, which also seems to be the case in Dead Men Tell No Tales. Is it too much to ask for a singular regular crew of pirates?

(#9) The Black Pearl Is Stolen
Jack's quest to get the Pearl back in the first film is compelling and interesting. When he eventually reclaims it at the end, we get to see him be the captain of the ship for a whole movie. Well, until it's taken by the Kraken at the end of Dead Man's Chest.
The entire first act of the third film involves everyone rescuing Jack and the Pearl, only for Barbossa to go running off with the ship at the end. And the entirety of On Stranger Tides sees the Pearl stuck in a bottle, stolen by Blackbeard. After a while, it really just seems like getting a new ship would be easier than retaking the Pearl again and again.

(#14) Jack Gets Marooned (Or Maroons Someone)
One of the most interesting elements from the first movie was Jack Sparrow's relationship with Barbossa. Barbossa marooned Jack on an island after his mutiny, Jack escaped through dumb luck, and now wants to use the single shot they left him to kill his ex-first mate.
In the second film, Jack once again finds himself stuck on an island, afraid of venturing out onto the sea where Davy Jones can catch him. In At World's End, Jack is stuck in Davy Jones' locker, and only escapes with the help of his friends. On Stranger Tides, on the other hands, actually sees Jack marooning someone else, the same way Barbossa left him to die. After all that Jack has been through, that last one seems remarkably cold.

(#13) Everyone's After A Magical MacGuffin, For... Reasons
For a franchise featuring pirates, the characters almost never go after actual treasure. Yes, the first one is all about cursed Aztec gold, but after that it becomes about the hunt for Davy Jones' heart. Then, the third one revolves around unlocking the power of a sea goddess to fight the British Navy and On Stranger Tides chronicles the search for the Fountain of Youth. The most unbelievable thing about the franchise may be that after The Curse of the Black Pearl, there's very little actual pirating done.
