Please let our favorite characters come together in the next movie and never let one another go. Let the audience feel a huge milestone has been completed as we see them sail off into the sunset together, oblivious to everything except each other. Amen.
In the name of the FAther, the son and the Holy Spirit, AMEN.

So basically you want a W/E ending, only with Jack in place of Will. I thought you wanted a nice new twist to the whole fairy tale, not the same-old same-old. 😛

Yup the general audience is expecting Willabeth. Heck, even I wrote JE off as nothing the first time I saw it. And said "Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. Now we have to have Wllabeth again *sigh*". That is until I joined the fandom and read the writers quotes and things like that. Then I fell in love with JE, and there's no going back.
but I'm afraid TnT did a bang up job of sorts telling the story, because it was not apparent to the general audience. I hope AWE is.
Hmm, you raise an interesting point, Surreal. Do J/Es turn their arguements back on themselves? We complain that W/E is ordinary and too unrealistic, yet we make J/E out to be just that. Hmm. Human nature, I guess. We all like the fairytale endings. But this is just the personal reasons why I only tolerate W/E and am not a fan of it.

1. I thought the romance made both of them seem weak. I wanted Liz to prove herself and the only times she really did were when Will was not around. At the same time, I got sick of Will's "I'd die for her" bits. He's the hero. We get it.
2. I'm still a tomboy in spite of my J/E indulgences and I was far more interested in how they would all get out of their messes rather than would Will ever see Liz again and vice versa.
3. They only had a few scenes together total and only one before all the trouble started. I just didn't care too much about the romance there.
4. Will wore buckled shoes in a pirate movie. He's very smart and brave and I do like his character a lot, but he paled in comparison to the other characters.
5. I was too busy falling in love with Jack.

1. I was too busy wondering if the girl at the beginning was Liz because her hair was so dramatically different.
2. I thought it seemed kind of soon for the two of them to be getting married. My dad would have gone nuts if I went from sexy hand bandaging to marriage in the span of a year.
3. Once again, they have very few scenes together. I LOVED Liz was becoming stronger and she got to fight and really show off her resourcefulness and I loved how Will was growing up and meeting his dad and had this great plan. They're far more interesting apart than together.
4. When they WERE together, I don't know, I found both of them should have been happier to see the other than just mad at Jack.
There. Lots of reasons that have nothing to do with the J/E chemistry. The bottom line is that I didn't care about them in the beginning, and I don't care about them now. I love both of them to death and they're neat, just not together.

bingo!
I also don't understand why J/E have more scenes together if W/E are supposed to be the couple of the movies. They spend more time searching each other out, than anything. I guess I'm getting mixed signals. I don't think I've ever seen that before in movies.
That's my thing. How do you get an audience interested in a couple that's never around each other? If they were together even a little bit more, maybe I could get into them. They seem to long for each other, but the audience needs to see that "love" on screen to care about them. They can be separated after that, but they need to be established first and "Please call me Elizabeth/No" just isn't enough.
