It WILL NOT make the movie pointless people. You are being so single minded. Jack/Liz. Trust in Ted and Terry's writing regardless of the outcome. You may not like it but I dont see how you can say it would make the movie pointless. There are A LOT of themes going on that ne
I know you dont believe me but it would make Dead Man's chest and AWE pointless if each character ended up exactly the same as they were during movie 1...that is BAD script writing there's one thing I learned when writing screenplays in college.."dont add anything pointless in" because it will piss off the audience...it never happens in successful stories..they usually follow the 12 steps and each character in DMC appears to be following them at different paces.
imagine if Leia and Hans said "I love you!" "I know" and then they didnt end up together in some way..you would look over the trilogy again and say "hang on a sec....then why did that happen in movie 2 between them?"
then we look at Harry Potter..imagine if by the end of it he decided not to kill voldermort and instead he decideds to go back and be normal kid with his aunt and uncle..
the question would be:
"Ok why did they build up to something and then not even go through with it?"
you just dont do that in stories/movies/trilogies.
If they are to end exactly the same as they were then firstly it doesnt make sense of the theme raised in DMC and AWE of changing from the old world or persishing in the new world. each character neds to change to suit the new world..and we actually see an emotional battle going on with each character between something old and familiar and something new and intrusive..it seems to be about them learning to embrace the new thing in their lives before the old world ends.
What I find interesting is how they are saying movie 4 will be a "reinvention not a continuation" from movie 3...the way movie 3 ends in that script I have? I can see why
Why is it randomly Liz in the future with a 9 year old son?..no indication of Will sleeping with her in the script?
they are going to probably start over the love story between Jack/Liz in movie 4 without Will being there and explain how that bizzare ending in AWE came to be possibly?
I think they are missing something out of the scripts when it comes to that ending..I mean what a whimper to go out on unless Jack is in the last scene of course...its got to be some sort of cliffhanger that will make people eager to see a 4.
I think they are making everyone appear to return to how they were then we get fast forwarded to the future and see something that shocks the heck out of us when it comes to Jack...cliff hanger for a prequel type story?
