This is how I interpreted Elizabeth's journey: in CotBP, you get the feeling that she's ill suited for the life she's living. Keira Knightly likes to say that Liz is a 20th century girl living in the 18th century. She's restless and bored, but she doesn't actually seem to realize it. Over the course of the movies she is thrust into adventure for one reason: kidnapped, trying to rescue her boy toy, ect. ect. and learns what's she's actually capable of- both good and bad. Her journey is one of inner discover, while Will discovers *external* things about himself (and I hope I'm not giving the movies TOO much credit when I assume it was written this way on purpose).

I suppose this kind of character arc could be Sueish if she actually HAD stolen all the attention from who the viewers felt was SUPPOSED to be the main character, but Will's character arc was still strong. She just got to do more cool stuff in AWE. But EVERYONE did cool stuff in DMC. Jack fought on the mast of a ship, Barbossa sailed through a maelstrom (while fighting and reciting wedding vows SIMULTANEOUSLY), Will got to talk smack to the villains and Ragetti freed a Goddess. It was a movie full of people doing cool stuff. :P


... that was a markedly less coherent argument than I anticipated it would be. -___-;;

*in AWE, not DMC

No one did cool stuff in DMC. Everyone SUCKED in DMC, which was kind of the point. :PPP
