Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

Saw Pirates of the Carribean at the midnight showing. There were a bunch of people dressed in pirate outfits, too.

And once thing Will can't abide is betrayal and I think that is what he ultimately would see Elizabeth's actions as.

There's also the original issues Will had thinking he wasn't good enough for her.

Jack enjoys the process more than the goal, and Elizabeth, goal oriented or not, is prone to stopping or enjoying detours.

Which is why it's totally believable that Elizabeth would be at least a little attracted to Jack. Jack offers a sense of freedom and adventure that Will, no matter how good his heart or how skilled at killing things, never will. Elizabeth has to look forward to settling down and being an upstanding citizen, which would be fine for anyone other than Elizabeth. Will's sense of black and white and his general goodness and naivety can be trying for an adventurous girl.

Especially, since while I can see Elizabeth's views on it being a bit more flexible, Will strikes me as someone who'd insist on waiting until they are married

No, Will definitely wouldn't have tarnished his idol of Elizabeth or even dreamed of it, really.

He is getting more attractive as he gets older, just like Jensen.

Some guys just age elegantly. Jensen and Orlando both are. They've seemed to fill out and become a lot more overtly masculine than they were when they were younger. They're about the same age which is probably why it seems to noticable about the same time with them. Jared still looks boyish in comparison to his co-star.

True. He is sensitive on that issue. Of course, Jack's a pirate so he is even less suitable, but Will's insecurities will definitely make everything worse (he wasn't insecure any more in DMC but the end of it kinda brought that crashing around his ears).

Exactly. Plus, living up to being on a pedestal would probably get a bit trying. She is attracted to Jack with the wild and rule-breaking part of her. He fits something in her heart that even she isn't aware of: pure wanderlust. She enjoys outlawing, and he sense of morality is relative. Neither of those apply to Will.

I have this image of Elizabeth being all for it and getting a bit frustrated with Will over that point :P

Oh yes. They are a lot less boyish now. And since I prefer my men more masculine and less ornamental (but gorgeous in any event), that's definitely a plus.

And the fact that while Jack sees her as an attractive woman, he treats her different from any man she's ever met. Jack is crude and bad and completely appealing to a girl who was forced to be a model of decency. She's no goddess to him and he treats her more as a functioning equal than someone to be handled with kid gloves. He's probably the first man she's met who's not trying to impress her or isn't wandering around pining after her.

Don't hurt that it's Johnny Depp, too.

He fits something in her heart that even she isn't aware of: pure wanderlust.

And you get the impression that she'd be completely happy just kicking off society and heading out on a ship. The thing is, I sort of see Will enjoying that too, only he has to live up to giving Elizabeth a good, respectable life. I see Will as a repressed wanderer.

I have images of her repeatedly trying to trap him in darkened rooms and getting pouty when Will obliviously goes about his day...

And since I prefer my men more masculine and less ornamental

Jensen and Orlando are becoming the best of both worlds, really. I think it's a certain hardness that's starting to come into their features and their bodies are finally catching up to look like a man in their prime instead of young boys.

That's an interesting point. I wonder if, once he realizes she wants to wander, they can just go off adventuring together?
