He got redemption in the end, sacrificing himself to save Elizabeth. What are you talking about

Talking about not going for the cliche of spare-good-guy-becomes-bad-guy-becomes-martyr/heroic-sacrifice-guy plot. Killing characters off to close their arc is so lazy and overdone.

@@iprobablyforgotsomething he was a good character who could’ve done more and deserved more... he had the makings of a good storyline of his own, but for not... Commodore James Norrington was robbed of his happy ending. 🙁

That's part of the realism, not every person has the character or the opportunity to stay good and honorable

I see what you mean. He easily could've taken the place of Elizabeth's Father as the Governor of Port Royal or even as the commander of East India Trading company and raising it into being a more Honorable company with more honorable goals such as Elimanating Slave traders

XD

If we take Orlando Bloom as a box office bait out of the equation, a much better and plausible storyline would be a romance between Elizabeth and Norrington, they are better written characters, they have a much more natural common ground (coming from the same social circles, while it is not exactly clear how Will and Elizabeth could develop a friendship him being an apprentice in a smithy and she being a Governor's daughter, it is not unheard of in the world of fictional romance, but here it feels like a huge gap) and would bounce off of each other and compliment each other's characters much better, also they could bring in much more humor then there already is, and, frankly, both are much better actors.

@@renata8979Except Will and Elizabeth are based off from Guybrush Threepwood and Elaine Marley from the Monkey Island games. Only those who played the games would know this.

So much! 💙

True, but that also would have made him a coward afraid of death and sacrifice. He never should have died to begin with, imo.

@@intpleb4206 and he hates wills guts for stealing elizabeth from him so another reason why it wouldnt work for him to be serve under will

​@@peterburke3944He doesn't hate Will for 'stealing' Elizabeth. In fact, he grew to respect him throughout the course of the trilogy. If anything, he should hate Elizabeth since she accepted his marriage proposal just to take advantage of him in the first movie, and then betrayed him as she announced her relationship with Will at the end of the first movie.

We did, never fear :')

So cute! I love him! 💙

BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LOVE HIM!!!

@@orlandolee4438 oh REALLY 😡

Ms. Swann heard all the rumors about Orlando Bloom's hog, apparently.

1:38 ELIZABEEEEEEEEETH

omg 😭😭😭 it shouldn’t be this funny for me but it is

Elizabeeeeeeth! 🙊🙉

Power Move.

Yeah, he is my favorite character in potc

The way men saw it back then, she was with him and him only therefore perfect to mother his children. Her youth wasn't so much the prize so much as her being "untried" and beautiful.

Norrington was 18 and Elizabeth was 12 or so. That’s only a 6 year age difference, which is hardly weird

There's hardly an age gap between them; 10 years at most and even today, such relationships are pretty common. As for knowing her since she was a child, it's unlikely he was around her a lot when she was growing up. Being part of the Navy meant he could be gone for weeks, months or even years at a time if he was making trips between Port Royal and England.

Well it was normal for the times to marry someone much older or younger than you... Most of girls were already married in their 15 - 16, Elizabeth was even older when she got the proposal (she should be eighteen yo in this movie)🤷🏻‍♀️

Apparently Elizabeth was 19 and James 28 in the first film. If she was like 10 or something in the beginning flashback, James would have been 19. This is made slightly confusing by the fact that James’ actor did not change - whilst Elizabeth’s does. Also, James did not attempt to propose to her until she was 19 :)

@@onesickratNoo in the first scene this is not James, it’s his father but they used the same actor as James

@@onesickrat Also, Elizabeth and Will are supposed to be of the same age (opening scene makes that clear), but Orlando Bloom is also some 8 years older then Keira Knightley)

​@@eiren4044 well that's just wrong

when you make one without cuts and DON'T get coprighted, don't forget to tag me! :)

@@sadtimesalways Its creepy that they met when she was a kid but its hardly the worst age gap. No one would have cared had they both met as adults. I mean you only have to look at some age gaps such as Margaret Beaufort to see how it could have been so much worse. Just in case I got the spelling wrong, Margaret was the mother of Henry the 7th of England and she gave birth to him at 13 when her husband was a full grown adult.

@shortnstuby it was a different time so it probably was common back then.

Compared to most marriages back then their age game is pretty fricken tame.

There's 9 years between them which isn't at all uncommon. Especially then and even now some people have larger gaps between them then that.
