What he does at the end, trying to be all noble and "We'll get Jack back," not just to save his friend but also, I think, he's pulling a Norrington and trying to let Elizabeth be with the person he thinks she loves.
Oh, wow. I had not thought of that, but it makes sense. Which means Will would be likely to say something about it to her in that context - thereby triggering the inevitable confession and oh, no. Yikes.
and, really, it explains so much to me to learn that Jack was possibly given the title 'captain' rather than truly earning it
That. Is so utterly perfect. omg, it explains everything if he's in love with this shiny idea of being a Pirate Captain and has no clue how it's supposed to work! XD
Suddenly it makes sense that the Pearl's first crew would follow Barbossa into mutiny, too. He is much more piratey, in a way, which they'd probably associate with competency compared with Jack. Poor Jack. ^^;
Possibly Disney going there in the movies didn't surprise me as much because I'd played Kingdom Hearts before seeing the first Pirates movie? Which for all the Disney cuteness, has something of that feel - that, 'Oh look at the cute noble dashing errrr - okay that was bad but nessecary! and scary, yes? - now on with the cute and the noble, and try not to be too spooked by the implications! :D ' ...it's like Disney's take on hardcore has this hyper quality so that you're getting swept along even as you realize that yes, they did go there.
