ashields124's [potentially] game-changing interpretation.

*wails* The one post I let myself read beforehand was 
stunt_muppet's "mildly spoilerish" post in which she discussed her potential Pirates fic, so I had just one word rattling in my brain from the halfway point on: "Turnerette." If there was a Turnerette, there had to be a happy ending, right? Like Sam-and-Rosie LotR happy? I was picturing a scene like that.
So when Davey Jones merrily stabs Will, I'm all "Hm. Well, I'm sure he'll find a way to wriggle out of that. In the meantime, I will just enjoy this tender deathbed scene and 'aww' over Jack for getting her out of there. Because SOON THERE WILL BE TRIUMPHANT VICTORY AND RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE YAY!"
And then there...like...wasn't. At all. One day? Ten years, one day? That is not the fairy tale life they're supposed to have together! That's a glorified booty call! ($&@(*$&@)*($!!! I'd almost rather she'd run off with Jack; at least then I could have told myself she had a change of heart a few years down the road.
I will now proceed to deny that movies 2 and 3 ever happened.
Also, need fic. Lots of fic. Lots and lots of W/E fic.

...Erm. I may have to disagree with
The green flash, I thought, was a sign that the Flying Dutchman and everyone on it had come back from the land of the dead (where it guided the dead) and had crossed over to the land of the living. That didn't mean they didn't have to go back.
Then again, they don't do a really good job of explaining any of this in the movie, so I guess you could interpret it either way you choose to. I choose the one I just explained. Yes, it's rather depressing, but it makes a bit more sense to me, and it does have the advantage that Will's going to stay young forever. :) And, if you think about it, there are all kinds of ways around the ten-year rule - Davy Jones' Safety Bucket comes to mind.
*hands you back your journal*
And no-no, you certainly didn't spoil things with your post! I'm very grateful I read it, actually. :) It's what kept me from actively freaking the hell out in the theater, having that happy thought in the back of my mind. Plus, if I hadn't read that I wouldn't have bothered to stick around after the credits this time, and missing that shot of Will would have been a horrible disappointment. So all things considered, it was quite a boon.
