AWE DVD

[veronica_rich]

The DVD is out in some parts of the world already, and I was reading a scan of part of the box in someone's journal. (I won't say who they are just in case they don't want anyone to know, or get swamped - unless they give me explicit permission for a link.) Since this person has posted a link to their entry in a discussion community, I feel safe in now providing the direct link if you haven't yet seen it.

Two interesting things:

First question: What does the future hold for Will and Elizabeth? Now that he's captain of the Flying Dutchman, is she going to wait for him? Answer: True love never dies, but their story is yet to be told.

Second: Since Will honored his destiny on the Flying Dutchman, in 10 years does he get to return to land for good, thereby freeing his father and crew? Answer: Every 10 years, Will may step on land for one day. He is bound to the Flying Dutchman forever.

There are a few others, too. I don't know if these are on the U.S. DVD, but I'm betting they are. Be interesting to see what fandom reaction is to these (especially that second one, given the writers' insistence on the "only 10 years' service" thing) ...

God, that's weird. I was just doing one of those random-y LJ to LJ moseys, and I came upon EXACTLY this entry about half an hour ago.

I haven't yet been able to decide if these bits of info really annoy me or not. Really, for my own selfish fic purposes, I can live with #2. But in terms of canon? No way. That fucking sucks. And also, wow. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of dissention and argument that must have been going on behind the scenes of the film if this vital bit of info totally contradicts what the writers have explicitly said.

And #1? Oh, please. Could we throw another cliche in there just for good measure?

(Hmm, on second thoughts, I'd say, yes, I AM annoyed... *g*)

Kind of a copout, isn't it?

Oh well - the sparrabethers are not the only ones this works for. Remember, Elizabeth dies eventually.

And Jack finds the Fountain of Youth... Oh yes, it's all mapped out, m'dear ;D
