beccatoriaWow!
They made me LIKE Elizabeth! They made me dislike Will ever MORE! There was JACK!
What the hell happened to Elizabeth at the end. I mean, yes, I stayed past the end of the credits. But...what? Will ditches her on an island and then...ten years later she's on a different island with a child of...deeply ambiguous gender (but I believe to be male)? What's she been doing? We got to see what everyone ELSE was doing...
It's not like she can go back to civilisation because 1) even if they stop being QUITE so murderous to pirate associates and stop, you know, hanging you for having once seen someone who might have once bought a pirate a drink, I doubt they're going to offer leniancy to THE FREAKIN' KING OF ALL PIRATES WHO LED THE PIRATE FLEET TO VICTORY AND NUKED THE FLAG SHIP OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY! And 2) I doubt she has enough cash to be independently wealthy since I don't imagine they'll be releasing her father's assets to THE KING OF ALL PIRATES.
So if it's back to civilisation it's in hiding, and who, at this point in time, is going to offer a knocked-up "widow" a great job? So that's a woefully depressing option.
Which leaves pirating. But, what, is she going to Singapore to rule there instead of Sao Feng? Would anyone actually respect her technical authority? Or is Jack Sr going to let her chill out at Shipwreck Cove? (Actually that seems like a reasonable proposition; he's all about respecting the code and according to the code she's the KING OF ALL PIRATES.
But would it have killed them to give us a thirty second scene of what she actually spends most of the rest of her life doing? Other than, you know, waiting torturously for Will for a single day a decade later?
Eh.
But I forgive all. Because it had a giant fifty foot woman in it. And you just don't get that type of shit in films anymore.
