To be honest, I don't wish to bash the Will character, but he seems to be so passive that he's ill-suited for the feisty Elizabeth. I think this is why in Potc 1, i was put off by their "love story." She seems to be the one actively pursuing while he is always, always deferring or just hesitating a little bit. Examples from first movie: Elizabeth:"How many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth?" and then Will: "At least once more, Miss Swann" and then later, when Will finds out that he's the blood that the pirates want, Keira takes HIS hand and puts it on HER cleavage.. and he doesn't do anything. They get close to kissing and he doesn't even go in for the kill(???) Imagine Jack passing that up. Not a chance. Then later, in the Isla de Muerta cave thingie, they have a "moment" but Will just says "Your fiance will be wanting to know youre safe" Ummm.. even Jack comments, "That was the moment, if you were waiting for one"
I just couldn't understand it. What does someone as spirited as Elizabeth see in someone so passive as Will Turner? I feel like their whole "relationship" came about because she pretty much coerced him. lol. On the other hand, you can see why she's attracted to Jack. You can't accuse HIM of being too hesitant towards the opposite sex. hah!
