For every man in your camp, there are thousands somewhere in the West Indies living under the same yoke, chained in fields, pressed on ships, sold into indenture. When they see a sitting governor protected by His Majesty’s Navy deposed by an alliance of pirates and slaves, how many consider joining that fight? How many thousands of men will flock to Nassau, join your ranks, and help you defend it? What does a colonial power do when the men whose toil powers it lay down their shovels, take up swords, and say “no more”? Bring down Nassau, maybe you bring it all down.

The Black Pearl? I've heard stories. She's been preying on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors.

What vexes all men?

The sea?

Sums?

The dichotomy of good and evil?

You seem to miss the point where it is a movie and made up and the rule of her not being able to come along was written into the movie as a decision by the people writing it, with many people annoyed by it, being largely annoyed as this is a plot point not properly set up, given that the entire aspect of what happened with Calypso and Davy Jones is originally more set up as a "Calypso is the goddess of the ocean, the ocean does its own thing".

The main issue with the Will and Elizabeth ending is, that it turns Elizabeth into Penelope after a story that largely had her in the role of Odysseus, which creates narrative dysjunction.

Like, yes, the movie gives us a last-minute explanation why she cannot just go onto the ship. But it does not care to give anyone an explanation why Elizabeth, whose entire deal was to be on the ocean, just keeps standing at the shore hoping for her lover to return. She does not belong at the shore. She is not Penelope.

[hyenaspseudocock]

... I mean, Just give her a ship. That One Ship isn't The Only Ship. She could Have A Ship. A Boat

[everythingispirates]

she literally has a ship please rewatch the movies before trying to argue about them x

[hyenaspseudocock]

I'm not arguing lmao,

I'm literally sitting in my bathtub with wrinkly feet and scrolling tumblr for shits and giggles. Like,

I don't remember her standing on a ship in that last scene. If I remember correctly, there isn't any specific reason why she can't just be on a ship and mitigate the entire Land Issue

Other than Because Movie Said So I guess, which is. Valid? In the same way people in real life will just do things even if they're not efficient. Thinking of The Square Hole problem

(btw, nobody said she spent the Whole Ten Years standing idly On The Shore like an NPC with an active quest to give you. There is not reason for her to wait ten years to begin with becasue even if she cannot step into the ship, they can still at least meet. Yet she apparently doesn't?)

And it really just looks like she's abandoned sails altogether instead. Idk about the later movies, I only rewatched the first three because my best friend loves them, sis

[swannposting]

for the millionth time. will cannot see her because will is in a different realm entirely. the dutchman is intended to sail in the reach between worlds, gathering and ferrying the dead. if will does not want to become a cursed monster like jones, he cannot enter the world of the living for ten years.

They could never make me hate you, complex female character whose reaction to trauma was not pretty and digestible like how people think it should be.

[swannposting]

nothing is more confusing to me than when i see people stating that elizabeth “stayed on that beach for 10 years” because literally where did they say she had to stay in that one specific spot 💀

[flameandignite]

the locales between the ending scene and the post-credits stinger are pretty obviously different too, so she's not even staying in the same spot within the movie itself
