Day 20 - Favorite Jack scene

Day 20 - Favorite Jack scene

I think a number of people have this for their favorite Jack scene. I thought about the fight from the first film between Jack and Barbossa and the whole surprise element but it was also a little creepy and there was the whole revenge element. Whereas in DMC, he actually came back and did the right thing instead of something for his own gain. I loved it. Every time, Elizabeth wrestles with that gun and you just see Jack's boot before panning upward, I want to cheer.

Day 21 - Favorite Norrington scene

Day 21 - Favorite Norrington scene

This is hard. Should I go for most adorable like when Elizabeth calls him James? Most manly when he's jumping through the air and sword-fighting in Dead Man's Chest? Or brave when he's trying to protect Governor Swann in At World's End?

But there is one scene that has him at his most adorable, snarky and sad: almost all his traits showcased in their finest in one scene...

The Map is Finished



It's beautiful.

I loved that scene even in its truncated form because James got to have that legitimacy he thought he wanted but then it's sad because you know he'll end up regretting it but hopefully, he'll find out in time to help Elizabeth and the others. This does come to pass but in my mind, he wouldn't have to die in the process.

We named the monkey Jack.

Day 23 - Favorite Relationship

Day 23 - Favorite Relationship

I've talked at length about my love for Norribeth. I also love Willabeth and Sparrington and James/AnaMaria and about every combination you can think of except pairings with Davy Jones in tentacle form. Those are kind of icky.

However, there is one canon pairing that I like as much as Norribeth or Willabeth...Speckett, Beckrow, Jack/Beckett, however, you call it.

Yes, I said canon. It's so canon. When Will asks what mark Jack left on Beckett, he refuses to answer. Why refuse if it's as simple as losing a ship or money?
Then, Jack makes a face at Beckett's name: quite different than the fear or hatred he'd shown for Davy Jones and Barbossa.
When they finally have a scene together, it's very much like old lovers thrown back together after a very horrible break-up. Jack acts like a guy forced to be with an ex he can't stand anymore and who could blame him after Beckett chose a career over him. On the other hand, societal norms would have dictated that choice. However, Beckett still carries a torch for him: the way he watches him with intensity and lets Jack walk all over him. The compass points to Jack when using it.



PS LiveJournal still needs "Devastated" as a mood because after those first fifteen minutes of The Impossible Astronaut, that's exactly what I am.
