ok i was talking to my friend about potc, and she said she was a WE shipper and i said i was JE and she actually said "ewww"...she asked why, and i didnt know how to explain it to her...can anyone help me, or give me tips on turning her into a JE shipper? or WHY we're JE shippers?

yeah and reasons besides like chemistry and how "hot" they are as an on-screen couple

1. Jack and Liz are two peas in a pod and actually have a lot in common, more so than she and Will.

2. They seem more evenly matched than Will and Liz because they have definite strengths and weaknesses and neither really overshadows the other, whereas in a W/E relationship, he (inadvertently) upstages her.

3. No girl should go with a guy who has been OBSESSED with her for the last few years and yet can't even call her by her first name. Jack seems to be a little more adult about things.

4. Jack definitely has a respect for Liz if nothing else, and his respect isn't given to just anyone. He has to really admire a person to give it, and he does with her, indicating she's special to him.

5. Jack and Liz challenge each other, not only emotionally, but even just in abilities. Who would have thought Jack had it in him to come back and grapple a kracken had Liz not put the realization into his head that he was good deep down?

6. Liz has always been fascinated by pirates and loves adventure. Being with Jack would be having the kind of man and life she's always dreamed about.

7. Liz has blatantly refused Jack's advances at least twice (not being seduced the other way on the island while she was getting him drunk and refusing his "marriage proposal", indicating she doesn't have some schoolgirl crush on him. If she's going to have him, she's going to make sure it's on the terms she wants. This is a pretty mature thing to do rather than give in right away and assume he'll change for her.

8. Jack finds her sexy when she smells salty, is sunburned, probably has bad breath and mildewed clothes (this is on a ship for a long amount of time), and bleaching hair. He finds all of her beautiful, inside and out.

9. Both want freedom and feel they don't have enough of it. Birds of a feather flock together.

10. They seem to have real chemistry and open each other's eyes to new ideas about themselves and looking at the world. You don't see them acting that way around anyone else.

thanks

'Read 'em and weep'

11. cause we are TIRED of seeing the same love story repeat itself..i'm not talking abot JE being hot.

I'm talking about the girl always having prior engagements with a man of high rank who she doesn't care for THAT MUCH for whatever bizzare reason (Titanic, COTBP, The Notebook,ANTZ, Alladin....) for this fun guy who isn't as GREAT as the first one but still PERFECT in a strange way, sorta a rebel but will still love her to the end of time and take care of her with all his might.

why not give the bad guy a chance huh? why shouldn't the pirate get a girl? he has a heart TOO! he might actually be a good guy if he's given the chance but he will never be PURE and hands down GOOD GUY....

if lizzie is looking for stability..than that's not the way to go..but what EVER happened to adventure and FREEDOM..isn't that one of the things this movie is trying to say? what if she DOESN'T WANT someone to take care of her? maybe she wants some one to challenge her, fill he life wiff excitement 10 years from now and help HER help HERSELF

Plain and simple, because they are the hottest ship on the Caribbean.

Not just the Caribbean, love. The entire ocean.

LOL of course

I have to admit, I didn't even consider this pairing until I came here. I thought watching DMC was like some great drug high and I was still trippy seeing Jack and Liz kiss. LovelyOne and company converted me and I saw how much sense it made. It's not a pairing that easily comes to mind for most people, but yet once it's in there, it's hard to get it out.

I wasn't a J/L shipper either, I was ok with the W/E pairing, it was a Disney movie so I was expecting it, but after watching DMC, I realized that there was a lot of potential for these characters to develop romantically. The chemistry was totally awesome. The J/L scenes were fantastic. It was something I didn't expected. When I went to see it for the 1st time, I was totally unaware as to wot was going to happen. I went in to see it spoiler free, and then the kiss totally shocked me. It was great to see it without expecting it, it was awesome. And from there I felled in love with the idea of a J/L pairing. That was what made me go back and see the movie 8 times.

yeah, same here. i was a WE shipper until i saw the second movie. when i saw it, i liked the idea of a JE ship, but i didnt think it was possible. then i came here and people like LovelyOne helped it to make sense and for it to seem possible.

BECAUSE THEY KISS! isnt that enough proof?! and Jack is a sexy beast! Will is.......................well, not even a beast, we'll put it that way.

hahaha. i didnt like will at all in the second movie. i thought he was okay in the first..mostly..

Yes, me to I liked Will's character in COTBP

he was OK! but even worse in DMC

LMAO True

lol very!
