Willobeth

So, my friend brought up a intersting point yesterday... most people think that when Will returns aftre the credits, the green flash means the curse has been lifted... but Gibbs only said that it sybolizes a crossing from the dead world to the living... so sadly, the curse may not be broken... the green flash would have happened at any point that Will crossed from the dead to the living... not just when the curse is lifted...

where did anyone get the idea that the 'curse' was lifted after 10 years? Where did that come from??

Well bc there was a green flash when Will came back after 10 years...

I think from TnT, I'm not quite sure myself...I just remember Tia Dalma/Calypso saying "And every ten years, he could come ashore to be with she who love him." So...I'm still confused, lol

I hope the curse is broken...

T&T have said themselves that Elizabeth's fidelity frees Will after ten years. I know the film did a sucky job of getting this across, but that's what they say, so when we see Will, he's home for good. They just should have spelled that out a little more...a lot more.

yay!! Will's free!!

The curse is broken, but he still has to do his job, right?

Something I just found - a spoiler for the DVD

Hmm, I guess T&T aren't being clear with anybody what happens to Will. Someone should go on wordplayer and ask them about this.

Interesting. T and T must have lost that round to Gore. I could have sworn they answered that Will was free after 10 years. If this is the case, it changes my whole perspective on the film and on the recurring Sparrabeth possibilities.... 😉

ooh, you're right...*runs off to sparrabeth fanfiction to prevent polluting the willabeth forum*

Where's PirateDiva? I'm sure someone asked this when they were at her school. I'd go with T&T before Gore just because they wrote all 3 movies, but I am confused. Gore is a big willabether, so why take the stance that his couple are separated like that? That's so unfair and as someone who doesn't get to see her husband that much right now, it's not romantic or epic by any stretch. It's just sad. Yet T&T, and at least one of them is someting of a sparrabether, says that Will and Elizabeth can eventually be together. Doesn't this seem backwards?

Oh wow!

Please excuse this next bit if you don't care to read a hissy fit.

I have tried to be gracious in light of all the questions raised about the curse situation. I realize it's not my movie and they are surely welcome to do whatever they think is necessary for whatever reason. The introduction of Pirate's evidence by Miz Tigs or Miz Kate? just absolutely
spoiled my decision to remain neutral.

TEN YEARS, THEN ONLY ONE DAY ON LAND IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I HAVE EVER HEARD OF IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

It is the most unacceptable, toad sucking, pond scumming, burnt bean smelling, nasty socks, hairball barfing gross, lame as a turkey behind, useless as teats on a boar hog, dog poop stepping, kissing your BROTHER, could only have been written by some tremendously dense Boys, not men, Totally frustrating on any number of levels way to utilize a fairly straight forward but disgusting device for TORTURING the characters and all the nice people who paid money to see the damn thing and will probably end up spending money to buy the dad gum DVD.

Okay, I think that pretty much covers the angst I feel over the curse situation. I only wish I could more clearly express the disdain I feel for the entire whoever the hecky do had anything at all to do with the curse situation and how pitifully it was explained to the public, ie me.

Pi Diva, I know you mentioned something about all this ....what'sit?

We all agree with you, tex, willabethers and sparrabethers think this is the stupidest idea ever. It's not fair to anyone. I'm going to go with what T&T have to say about it, though. Or, not to marr savvysparrow's credibility, but what she may have found is wrong. It is absolutely unfair and pointless to have your main couple separated for that long a time, unfair to bring a child into that situation, and unfair for their best friend with possibly unresolved feelings for one of them to stand witness to this kind of marriage. Okay, I can accept willabeth, but there is nothing beautiful or bittersweet about Will and Elizabeth being forever separated seeing each other for only one day every ten years. There has to be a way for a curse to be lifted.

Lol, I don't consider my credibility marred at all, Willo - you've made some great points. I was rather skeptical when I first read this on my friends page on LJ - Do you want me to find out some more info on where that came from?

you're right, it just doesn't seem to fit that you'd keep the canon pairing apart like that with all these loose ends *sigh*

Yeah, check on it because it has fans of all ships straight up pissed.

Okay, here is the scoop, a girl who is usually quite reliable posted this entry in her LJ:

"My cousin (who is currently living in the Netherlands and is well acquainted with my Sparrabeth obsession) sent me scans of the AWE DVD inserts. Very, very interesting *g* - it would seem the filmmakers meant to leave things somewhat open-ended after all. There are eight more "answers," but these two fascinated me the most :-)" - Djarum99

So...there won't be a real way to tell if it is legit or not until the DVD comes out, I guess : /
