Reading comments from Elizabeth (POTC) fans on public forums complaining that it seems like the character is being slighted by reviewers of the new movie, in favor of the Penelope Cruz character, Angelica. (Even Geoffrey Rush made some comment about Jack Sparrow finally having a female match in this movie or some such; I don't remember his exact quote.)


Take a page from the Will fans, who've gotten used to bashing of our favorite character by reviewers and other fans for eight years: Get over it and enjoy what you like. It's not personal! It's just their preference! Why should you care? :-)

All I have to say is that I got horrified by the Sparrabeth crowd after a) I saw someone's icon that showed parachute!Jack and Lizzie from the second movie, and the caption was something about the whelp getting himself killed. Awful to celebrate any tragedy that befalls a character! And b) when someone wrote an impassioned post in their comm about how the goat in the Locker must represent Lizzie, and also that the real her must be waiting in the cabin to make sweet love to Jack, should be be brave and heroic enough to enter. Gahhhh. Just...no. Do not want.

For the record, I support Jack/Angelica! But I also still support my own one woman 'ship of Jack/Sarah. LOL

As I mentioned elsewhere, I gave up on their sanity a few days into the DMC fandom back in the summer of 2006, when they took turns bashing what other people liked and at the same time, accusing anyone who didn't agree with their love of Elizabeth and J/E of misogyny. (Still haven't figured that one out, but okay.)

Yeah, that goat thing ... Hey, at least it was entertaining. *G*
