yes evilmonki, thats so true!
the writers did say they weren't basing it all on reality- but on the romantic pirate image.
in that case, Jack Sparrow will turn out to be the ultimate hero/rogue/hott guy who gets the girl. i mean, in romantic piratology, the damsel always falls for the unsuitable mysterious pirate, right?!
hahaha nope.
jack sparrow is the ultimate romantic pirate image. mysterious, self-sufficient, lovable, charming, outrageous, BEAUTIFUL, clever, and enigmatic.
Liz is the ultimate damsel: gorgeous, spunky, witty, classy, and the only one who can duel Jack with words.
Will is the cliche Disney dartanian figure... jumpy, nervous, uptight, brave (in a slightly too obvious way), eager, inexperienced, more brawns-than-brains, easily offended, awkward, and in love.
If they were serious about these films focusing more on the romantic image of pirates, Liz and Jack HAVE to end up together.
If they continued to carry the themes of this first script, Liz and Jack HAVE to end up together.
I'm still really interested to see how Will is going to develope, however. After he avenges his father, where else can his character go?
haha another interesting fact floating around...
the actors were told Annamaria would be the one coming down the stairs in Tia's hut at the end of the film, so their reaction when Barbossa walks down is also genuine, like Will's reaction to the kiss.
I CANNOT WAIT to hear the commentary for 2. OH GEEE...

that's really cool, i wonder what ever happen to AnaMaria
this one definately makes Jack's honest streak WAY more apparent. Actually, it makes the whole character of Jack Sparrow slightly less ambigious. I am actually really happy they changed it a bit and decided to draw out these themes and character development over the 3 instead of cramming it into 1... and i like that Jack's character is a lot harder to predict, a lot harder to grasp. it makes it way more exciting this way.
and less obvious who is going to end up with whom, who is going to do what.
after the first one, if you had asked people "do you think Elizabeth would ever cheat on Will?" "Do you think Norrington would ever turn pirate?" "Do you think Governor Swann would ever betray his honor?" everyone would have been like HELL NO.... but thats what happens in 2.... all sorts of unpredictable, even shocking things, that somehow fit perfectly with the character development.
So thats what 3 is going to be, probably. A bunch of things happening that even WE couldnt imagine or predict... that if someone suggested now, we would laugh at....
"My two cents- if a romance is going to continue in #3- it had to be built slowly... subtle. Liz is supposed to be a proper English lady. It is to be expected that she fall in love with someone suitable, and already her father has doubts about Will. Jack? Please... they had to build this tension in tiny bits and pieces to make it work because it is preposterous. If they had made the film exactly like these bits of script that are beeing shared, it would have been WAY too obvious that flames were igniting between Jack and Liz."--------ottergirl
I like you, ottergirl. Welcome to the board. You bring excellent points. I agree. We couldn't have them fall for each other at the beginning. They're both too stubborn. Plus, the best relationships are the ones that forge themselves, not ones we have to try to make. The heart wants what the heart wants.
I have a question: Kate was saying about a year or two has passed since POTC1 and POTC2. Well, why would Beckett wait that long to arrest them for something that happened such a long time ago? Has he just know heard the news that Jack has a compass that will show people the thing they want the most? It just seems like if he wanted the heart that bad, he would have arrested them the day after. I mean, Will and Liz haven't exactly been hiding out. They've been planning their wedding and Will's been teaching her how to fight.
