Yo ho, James Norrington fans out there!
Anyone feeling sad about James Norrington's death? I almost cried during that scene...
I was also very shocked. They had such a big scene of him getting back his sword and he dies after, what, just several minutes of screen time? That just makes me think the writers went, "Okay, we dunno what to do with Norrington anymore, so let's just kill him and make him a tragic hero even though his death is totally unnecessary". (hey, Elizabeth might not have died even if he didn't sacrifice himself)
Norrington should not have died. He doesn't deserve it! He's a great man...
Jack, Elizabeth and Will would ALL have been dead if it weren't for him!
Will would have died floating on the sea when he was child if Norrington didn't rescue him onto the ship; Jack would have been hanged as a pirate if Norrington hadn't allowed him to escape; and of course, Norrington died saving Elizabeth in the third movie.
So there! James Norrington is the true hero of all.
If you also feel that he shouldn't have died (at least not that way), go to www dot petitiononline dot com, and search for James Norrington.
