yeh will/Liz is the "safe and boring" option Jack Liz is the more exciting option...not just for the audience but the characters too.
and that pic^^ they ARE perfect for each other because she is wearing his missing hat and she wears it RIGHT up until the end when Jack realises he has won what he wants over..he has found out what it is about Liz that he has been craving...CONFIDENCE,LOVE and STRENGTH! That hat is the missing part of JACK..
LIZ is the missing part of him..and it means that he is the missing part of her too..It's basically like a PUZZLE piece that fits together...more than obvious hint in Mise en Scene..
Will isn't a pirate at all..and now he has been completely put off of that lifestyle..his father is a reminder to will that a life of piracy "doesn't pay"..he just DOESN'T have it in him..His own FATHER wishes he never became a pirate....its NOT in his blood at all..
The only reason he decided to be bold in movie 1 was because of Liz..and she was kinda HOPING that he was a pirate..but he is NOT and she KNOWS it..so what does she do s soon as she has some time with a REAL pirate? 😂
What I find incredibly funny in this movie is that Liz STILL thinks that she should be with Will..she tries so hard on 3 occasions to GET JACK OUT OF HER MIND..but her plans KEEP backfiring on her and Jack keeps gaining the higher ground..ESPECIALLY at the end..her feelings keep growing and growing the more she makes a show of denying them..the MORE they take her over..
she is VERY desperate for Jack to show her that he doesn't care about HER feelings..and that he only cares about his OWN life and material objects. The curiosity scene was basically her telling him that "The only way you can get me is if you show me that you CARE for me instead of yourself...and we ALL know that you aren't capable of doing that ha ha ha!"..then guess who actually GETS the last laugh in that scene..it AINT LIZ. She was HOPING that Jack would Kiss her there because it would mean that he ISN'T considering her feelings at all..he's kissing her because HE WANTS it selfishly..then he actually pulls away and Liz is like "What the hell?...I dont WANT you to pull away..be selfish!! be selfish!" She doesnt WANT more reason to fall in love with him...and she just got a face full of reason TO fall in love with him. That uneasiness she shows there is a warning sign for what she is going to do if he does something like that AGAIN..
