I'll ask her
and you must be kidding me...when it comes to why it got to 1 billion have you not seen most of the reviews?..people didn't like Will's part in the story..they only liked Jack they loved the chemistry between him and Liz. Keira got great reviews..the critics complained that it went on so long..Will..I honstly didnt find one good review about his character
and when you look at the huge fan base Jack/Liz has created for example the poll on this thread 22 to 2..the J/E fans went to see it over and over and OVER again..the amount of people who told me they went to see it for a 15th time becase of the J/E aspect...its clear how it got to 1 billion
the poll on the official site keeptothecode.com (last time I looked) 215 J/E to 87 W/E shippersand its ben stuck lke that for weeks where as J/E crossed over from like 115 to 215 in about 2 weeks..ted and terry go on there quite a bit..and even the insiders on there seemed to hint this ending for Will and the change in the ending.
OH and Orlando Bloom has said HE is not continuing for PotC 4..but Keira? has said nothing of the sort..you look on youtube.com..the amount of J/E fan vids..the most popular PotC clip ever on there with about 100,000 views before it was removed by Disney was the J/E kiss..I see pretty much nothing on there for W/E..its J/E madness on there... music videos etc..
Will's character is drying up they have to end him sooner or later..he has no purpose except Elizabeth and its clear what they are doing...
To be honest as a film studies student and what I'm taught about Hollywood and the workings of sequels that are successful..if this ends Will/Liz then its going to disappoint..all you have to do is lok at how popular the J/E aspect has become..
I dont believe you at all..I guess you are one of those from Keeptothecode right?
