for your recent ask on how to build relationships in movies where you used willabeth as an example i was just thinking of them as i read ur post lmao! what do u think are some underrated aspects of their relationship in the films ? and if you had to pick a favorite film of the potc trilogy based on just willabeth, which would you pick?
Oh, yay! A Willabeth ask!
AWE automatically wins on "At Wit's End" (aka "Will and Elizabeth's love theme") alone. That is the soundtrack to a cosmic, epic, transcendental, soul-moving, earth-shattering love story, that is the epitome of a romantic composition, it is everything. Like just listen.
But I mean, the scenes that they have in this movie?
I'm not sure that there's anything that shippers find underrated about them, it would just be in response to Sparrabeth shippers or people who are anti-Willabeth, which I just don't find merits a response but something I do quite enjoy about the Willabeth love story is the role Jack plays in it and how his respective bonds with Will and Elizabeth actually reinforce that love story:
Like, Jack helps Will come to terms with his parentage and history
and therefore who he is and Will, in turn, saves Jack from the gallows.
Elizabeth has faith in Jack, tells him he’s a good man, helps him see the morality of situations
and Jack does prove her right in Dead Man’s Chest by coming back to help the crew but I think the most significant way he proves her right is by going against a desire he wanted for all of At World’s End so he can do right by Will (and it actually goes further than his desire throughout At World’s End but to a fundamental passion like he sold his soul to Davy Jones to get the Pearl, that’s how much he loves the sea)
and then you had Jack speaking to Elizabeth’s desire for freedom
and encourages her obtainment of that freedom, of that agency, of that power
which ultimately leads back to her choosing to love and be with Will
which, despite what antis say, isn't a regression. The trilogy begins with seeing her discomfort in "polite society" and feeling pressured into doing what's expected i.e. an engagement to Norrington
which includes hiding her fascination with pirates as well as her feelings for Will
the two things are interconnected. In fact, when we see her being chastised for not behaving the way she should, it's when she's too intimate with Will
Her interest in pirates is signified with her keeping Will's medallion
her choosing Will is also her choosing her own freedom
Will even teaches her how to fight
and throughout the trilogy, it's them discovering more facets of themselves i.e. Will reunites with his father, Elizabeth actually gets to be a pirate but what even got them on those journeys was trying to find/help the other so they can be together
and those layers just bring them back together stronger. This has always been the point
This also isn't exactly underrated but I find when I go into the tag, there's a lot of emphasis on what Will does for Elizabeth, how he supports her, how in love with her he is, how devoted to her he is and I completely understand why but also Elizabeth's devotion to Will deserves a spotlight as well.
Going to fight undead pirates alone to save Will
Being both surprised and upset at Will even considering that she could be in love with Jack
Giving away the entire plan because she couldn't feign disinterest when Sao Feng acted as though he'd stab Will
Having to literally be carried away by Jack when Will was stabbed
Even the smaller, in between things like Will shouting at Elizabeth to shoot at the barrels of rum but her refusing because he was still caught in the net.
I just love them so much.

Any slight, such as an insult or the loss of a particular prize, may threaten a leaders whole identity as well as his standing in the eyes of his peers and his inferiors. The furious insults hurled by Achilles and Agamemnon at each other in book one may seem overblown or even ridiculous unless we realize how much both men have to lose from even the smallest diminution of honor. Those who are the greatest winners can be damaged most by any loss. Privilege entails terrible vulnerability. The elite warrior earns his social privileges, such as the best cuts of meat at banquets, by fighting at the front lines of battle and thus risking his life. This trade is worthwhile, as Sarpedon movingly explains because nobody, even those without any honor at all, gets to live forever.

i think if one of the men silver sent to kill flint had actually killed him. he would have lost his mind and possibly killed that man himself.

Something I really love about the new clip is the way Izzy's boundaries are respected.
Fang tries to give him a reassuring touch, but when Izzy says "unhand me" he does, immediately and without question.
Then, when Izzy completely falters, he goes back in for a hug:
but he does it slowly, giving Izzy plenty of time to tell him to fuck off.
And when Izzy stays silent, he goes in tighter but makes sure to ask that it isn't too tight for him.
I've complained a lot about the lack of regard for consent when it comes to Izzy in this fandom, and more generally I've noticed a lack of recognition that he has a right to have his boundaries and bodily autonomy respected, so I'm glad the show is taking care to depict that.

okay okay but can we talk about Izzy’s quote about how piracy is about “belonging to something” is overlayed over those clips of Wee John in drag and Jim and Olu being together like…. It’s literally about being queer. it’s so fucking queer. piracy as a parallel to queer community. it’s literally about finding your safe place where you can be yourself and meeting all these people who are just like you and BELONGING. Fucking belonging!!!!! that’s what the whole fucking show is about!!!! it’s about people who can’t fit in anywhere else but they fit with these people!!!!!!
