Funny, I thought people would have at least SOMETHING to say to that last one. :o

Anyway, since people are not finding it too late to make Pirates 2 posts, I shall add my own!


The thing I ended up pondering about the most was the return of Barbossa, and how the situation is going to work from this point. I mean, this crew under that guy? They're fresh off a teary-eyed loyalty oath to Jack. (Gibbs especially is kinda his lapdog; I can't recall a single instance of him ever speaking ill of Jack or any of his actions.) Surely this mutual grudge the two had going on for, if memory serves, 10 years, is going to get in the way of the mission a little bit.

But looking back on the first movie... call me crazy, now, but I think I have foreseen a good chunk of the plot. :O Because when you think about it, Barbossa is really a pretty okay guy! He's a guy who was staring down the barrel of an eternally torturous existence-- again, had been for ten years-- and still manages to remain flawlessly sane, conducting himself with civility and pursuing his relatively modest and understandable goals with astonishing restraint. Heck, now we can even suspect that the mutiny might have been justified in the first place.

And plus, remember when the mast fell down right next to him and it was like KKRRRRSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!! and he just stood there? Awesome. I almost hate to say it, but I think he's got my vote. So yeah, I think (I hope!) over the course of the next movie these things will be considered, and loyalties may be seriously reexamined! D:

I didn't really understand the oath to Jack bit...has he really proven he's a good man? He has proven that he does not kill people recklessly or for his own betterment. For Barbossa, however, it is not entirely clear how brutal he is. He wreaked havoc whilst retrieving the gold but it is debatable how many people he slew. The "waste not" line he dropped seemed to indicate that he didn't kill needlessly. However, he seems to be a bit more open to extreme methods than Jack, which would be a problem should they collaborate again.

Will Norrington go after them I wonder...after he is restored. I think we shall see very interesting things from him.

I honestly don't see how they will develop all of the awesome characters to my liking in the next movie. We started out with Jack, Norrington, and Barbossa...now we have Davy Jones, Bootstrap (although he wasn't terribly interesting), and the bantering hetero life partner pirates. And on top of that Chow Yun-Fat is joining popping in for the 3rd movie!

As for Will and Elizabeth...I suppose Will can stay as eye candy. Elizabeth should contract an STD from Jack and die.

"Elizabeth should contract an STD from Jack and die."

Ah, that gave me quite a good laugh. Good day, good day.
