How does Elizabeth balance her King duties with raising a child? Does she strap young Henry in a sling and continue her dangerous life? Everything about Elizabeth's personality up until this point would indicate yes. That.isn't something that just goes away. By default, this is a declaration of war against all legitimate trade and the countries that pay those sailor's salaries. At the end of the initial trilogy, the pirates of the world have declared literal war on the East India Trading Company. Pirates from different cultures around the world working together - well, following loose guidelines together - was a hook Disney never explored. The Pieces of Nine and Shipwreck Island introduced the Brethren Court. That's a hero's journey, dammit.įor all its flaws, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End did a fantastic job of opening up the world. She saves pirates, is arrested, stows away on a ship to find her lover, engages in epic battles on the high seas, fights a bloody kraken, resurrects Barbossa from the dead, successfully pretends to be a literal goddess, gets married in the middle of a pitched battle, and ultimately convinces a hive of scum and villainy to make her their leader. Along the way, she discovers a lot of things about herself, including stuff she doesn't like about her calculating pragmatism. Over the course of three films, she goes from a feisty but traditional bourgeois daughter to a literal Pirate King. Will Elizabeth choose Commodore Norrington or Will Turner? Her kidnapping at the hands of Barbossa is the catalyst that kicks off the entire saga.Įlizabeth Swann is also the character with the most defined story arc. It is at this point we are introduced to her main conflict: marry the man she's been told is her future or admit her feelings for her childhood friend. Not only is Elizabeth the first character we meet, standing alone on the bow of a ship as a child, she is the focus again as soon as the narrative shifts to its "modern day." The audience follows the now adult-enough-for-the-time-period Elizabeth as she awakens and goes about her life. What were once fun personality quirks in Jack Sparrow turned into obnoxious parodies with each successive installment until Jack's antics overshadowed every other aspect of the narrative.
The one where Hollywood sees that audiences like something, so they force-feed it to us until we're sick of it. When Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl came out in 2003 ( 15 YEARS AGO – WOWZA), Sparrow was a breath of eccentric fresh air that helped buoy a film based on a theme park ride into a billion-dollar franchise.
To which I say: that's probably for the best. It was announced last month that the Mouse House is considering a Pirates reboot and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since.e specially since it was revealed that Johnny Depp is most likely not returning for this new adventure. One of the latest is Disney's mega-popular Pirates of the Caribbean saga. No matter how steep the diminishing box office returns, no matter how loudly we collectively groan when another installment is announced, sequel and reboots and spinoffs just keep lumbering to the local cineplex.

In the year of our dark lord Cthulhu 2018, the only true zombies are movie franchises.
