I guess I never noticed the Elizabeth bashing thing because up until the 3rd movie, I really didn't like her. I was mildly annoyed by her in the first movie 'cause I though she was sort of spoiled and self centered ( I can still see her telling Jack that the whole Navy will be out looking for HER). By the end of the second movie I actually loathed her. She wanted to be all independent and free and yet it never stopped her from playing the sex appeal card whenever it served her purpose. Not an admirable trait in my book. And even though I was prepared to dislike her in the third movie, I think she finally matured as a character. She finally ran into a situation that she could neither control or manipulate - her father's death. That was the start of it. She actually started to understand that she is not the center of the universe. She was pissed at Will for his betrayal because she never expected it from him, but when she met his father she started to understand Will's dilemma. She started to understand that even though he loves her, he does have other obligations. And excuse me, but from her reaction to Will's injury and subsequent death, this is not a woman that would be partying and celebrating that she got "rid" of Will. Maybe Anonymous there doesn't think anything about a little "throwaway" comment, but I wonder how some people would react if I had a picture of Elizabeth dancing and laughing after DMC and my comment would be "I just fed Jack to the Kraken...ha ha ha". It would be classless.....'nuf said.
