Didn't ignore...just got sidetracked because it was time to head for work and forgot. If I were to guess, maybe it feels like you're shipping the actors instead of the characters? In animated, illustrated and prose fiction, they're components of others, but not a solid "person" while in live action, it's a person pretending to be someone else, so maybe shipping LA characters just feels like you're shipping two people playing a game or something? It's hard for me to say as I don't have any problems with that myself(obviously) so it's hard to say. I wouldn't say it's strange...people are drawn to certain kinds of ships, and medium is a kind of ship just as much as character type.
As far as Elizabeth goes, I'd say she's more a user than a tease/flirt. In the first movie, while she seemed to like and admire Norrington as a person well enough, it was obvious she had no interest in him at all and only agreed to marry him to save Will. With Jack, she's using whatever means necessary to achieve her goals, and playing up to Jack gets her closer to them, she just got a little caught in her own game. But, again, her goal there is Will. I'd say she's just willing to use anyone she has to when it comes to Will, and feels no shame about it.
Now that I've thought about it...I'm probably a big enough shipper of Hyde/Jackie (That 70s) but that's as far as I'd go for live actions series. It's a comedy show, but they were a cute couple. I don't really know about taking LA seriously, for some reason...I've believed that animated ships have more of a chance to happen/continue. It's more about controlling the situation: animators pull all the strings, directors can't force chemistry between actors. When there is chemistry...who knows what'll happen next?
I can't help but mold both the actor and the character together when it comes to a live action series. It just feels weird otherwise; I can't ignore one side of a character and pretend they're not someone else entirely different. *yawn* man, I'm tired XD (Elizabeth: they keywords are feels no shame about [doing] it. Hmm...doesn't hold back much does she?)
