More and more I am thinking Jack has really, actually always had a thing for Lizzie, and he just handles it differently than other people. I mean, he has actually really liked her since the beginning of 1... and known it, too. You get the idea Jack doesnt associate with smart women very often- his girls are all in tortuga and arent up to his level, if you know what i mean. and he probably likes it that way, because it means he can always be dominant, he is never tied down, he just gets what he wants and leaves, and its okay, because his heart isnt involved. but of course, as we've been over a thousand times, Elizabeth is way different. I think the deleted scene "peas in a pod" is really telling in the 1st one. Even if Jack doesnt get Liz in the end, I think He realizes he has "met his match" so to speak--- he's met someone who is very much like him, and i think that shocks, frightens, and intrigues him a lot. Because he is so used to being one-of-a-kind, no one really gets him, living in his own reality... you know what i mean?
Going along with all that, I dont think Jack is a hopeless romantic and I dont think he will be much affected if he doesnt get Lizzie in the end. I think he will maintain a great flirtatious friendship with her. (For the record, i still hope they DO end up together, and think it is the best choice. 😉). But Jack isnt going to mope around if he doesnt get her, ya know? He's Jack. He's done a lot for her, she's done a lot for him, there is a beautiful bond, they have awesome chemistry... and yet, its Jack Sparrow. He's the hero of his own story, the legend of the ocean, the hottest guy this side of Han Solo.
On Lizzie's side: I think by the end of 2, she is actually very dissillusioned with the whole pirate idea. Deep down, its what she has always wanted, and probably what she will always want, but there are parts of her that get very tired of it sometimes. Like when she flips out at the guys for swordfighting. She's more sneaky, more diplomatic, more manipulative. She doesnt always have to fight, ya know? (Which is more how Jack is, by the way)... So i think there is going to have to be something that happens in 3 that really pushes her over the edge to love piracy and not want ANYTHING to do with her old life anymore, ya know?
Sometimes i wonder if Jack and Tia could end up together, just cause they have similar hair. LOL. im so wierd.
