DMC 2nd viewing: the evidence

*sigh* remove again-since you edited yours-lol

who's mary sue?

Scarily perfect female character. Classic signs of the Mary Sue are a tragic history, always getting kidnapped, astonishing beauty, ability to capture any male's attention, is good at everything she does, has an unusual knowledge of weaponry and/or other things that she probably would never have a great deal of knowledge on...

The only things Lizzie lacks are a really, really tragic history, and she does not in fact, have a unique name, hair or eye color. 😄

Well, her mum is dead, perhaps she died tragically...

i cant call Elizabeth a mary sue personally because i always associate mary sues with being delicate but more curvy, more feminine. Elizabeth is DMC doesnt seem very feminine.

Elizabeth, to me, represents a pre Lara-croft phase in life. 😉

if she does end up staying with Will, i will probably have an easier time calling her Mary sue.

ps. if you're at barnes and nobles, get the Action Heroines Handbook. funniest book i've read in years.

0.o

Maybe Elizabeth is not so feminine in DMC because he wants to be Jack instead of being with Jack,cuz the compass points to what do you want most. 😕

But just ignore me , i have no idea why i posted this.

How about, Liz is a tomboy that wants to be like Jack and also wants Jack. 😉

Mary Sues are delicate, but they are also incredible warriors. 😛

I own the Action Heroine's Handbook, and the Evil Villians Handbook, and I plan on getting the zombie survival handbook as well. 😄

Liz is more of a tomboy than your average Mary Sue, and usually Mary Sues have a lot of spirit, but not much actual ability, and Liz is pretty competent and clever. Not to contradict Surreal, but I've read a lot of fanfiction and in a lot of domains, Mary Sues usually stand up to the men and all, but always need saving and always wind up helpless. Liz does her fair share of saving in addition to being saved, and she has personality more so than most Mary Sues.

I said Elizabeth is a near Mary Sue, not an actual Mary Sue. 😛 It was meant more as a joke than anything else. I've read plenty of bad fics...I generally skip over ones that say "Will meets his sister and she loves Jack! The story is better than the summary." << I find that unlikely. 😛

Lol, or the classic, further-down-the-road "Jack and Liz are married and have a daughter and Will is married and has a son. Fireworks go off when these two meet."

oh and when they both wern't wearing their hats they kissed.... hmm do you think that is a clue?

I just think that just symbolizes that they were both stripped from everything and they were Just ELIZABETH and JACK!

good point piratediva and....about lizzie being a MarySue: IMO for every marysue factor she has she has one counter it example: gets saved alot, rescues alot...girly in COTPB, super boyish in DMC.... gorgeouse, but not unordinary.....and so on.
the only FULL ON marysue factor she has is having a lot of guys fall in love with her I mean for all we know GIBBS and BARBOSSA and DAVY are gonna fall in love with her as well if not already

kissing? hmm. i think we're going too deep with the hat thing. i mean, let's just look at the kiss. what does a kiss represent or symbolize? i think THATS whats important there... 😉

All that sexual tension, and the flirting and thinking of eachother kind of thing was leading twards that kiss.

and a kiss usually means love, respect, passion, desire, understanding, intimacy... sigh.

Yes.. and it goes on and on

Norrie falls for Liz
Will falls for Liz
Jack falls for Liz
Sao Feng will fall for Liz
It could be up in the air if Barbossa falls for Liz

lol, I can't imagine Gibbs falling for her. He would have already, don't you think? He spends a lot of time with her. Now things will get really gross if Beckett falls for her.

I think Beckett is too much in love with himself lol
