HOLY CRAP!
Look at where Will appears to be when movie 2 ends..Tia apears to be helping each character again around stages 6/7 to gain their true elixir (jar of dirt for Jack)..With Will its about gaining the pearl to save his dad
LOOK at what step 7 says!
6) Tests, Allies and Enemies. After crossing the first threshold, the hero begins to encounter tests, allies and enemies, all of which help to outline the rules of the Special World.
..had some problems with Davy/dad/kraken..he's just seen Jack "steal his girl"..Jack has her as an elixir..and Jack's "now going to face consequences for gaining that elixir..usually the villain follows the hero!"
Will is now around this moment:
7) Approach to the Inmost Cave. This is really broken down into two parts. It is the point at which the hero comes to the most dangerous place in the Special World, usually the lair of the hero's greatest enemy. The approach is the time the hero takes to prepare, plan and deal with guards or traps. Then comes the confrontation in the most dangerous place.
Look at where Will is planning to head and what he's planning to do once he gets there
Singapore is Jack's homeland where he feels very comfortable it seems..his "lair?"
That is where Will ends in movie 2 pretty much..his plans to go there and gain his elixir..into the lair of his greatest enemy..it AINT davy Jones's lair
