I'm not trying to attempt a parallel. I know WW has nothing to do
with sailing ships or pirates.
You didn't understand what I tried to say. WW is as much NOT
Pirates to me as Ninja is NOT Castle.

It's a Castle subtheme because Lego says it is. That doesn't change
the fact that it sucks and that it doesn't blow my skirt up. Not
that I wear a skirt.
For people who like the Ninja stuff - more power to 'em. Buy all
the Ninja figs and such that I put up for auction - I'll use the
money to buy more traditional Castle sets. The ones they're
bringing back after this little detour into Ninja land. :)
