Hypothesis about Jack's fate - more fiction fun

[veronica_rich]

There's no real way to bring up this discussion without a cut.


If someone else already brought this up, feel free to point me to the thread; I don't always catch everything on LJ, as I am usually just surfing it while doing work online. This is just something I came up with while driving home.

A lot of people have talked about Will possibly replacing Davy Jones in his "office" in the third movie. But it seems more logical to me that Jack would do this - not strictly as Davy Jones as he now is, but Jack's OWN version of being the immortal King of the Seas (meaning, he doesn't have to be all fishy and miserable). And of course, he'd have the Pearl instead of the Dutchman.

Of course, Jack being lazy as all-get-out, he'd have real issues with having to actually *work* as Death of the Ocean, having to harvest big disasters like the Titanic ("Jesus Christ! WHO PUT THAT ICEBERG THERE?!").

Thoughts?

I figured the souls left on the decks of ruined ships were probably those who managed to avoid falling into the Kraken's mouth or tentacles (which explains why there are so few) - they're still truly alive, but only at Jones's pleasure.

I look forward to the "pirate council" you mention - I've heard it elsewhere, too. I also *heart* rigging shots and am breathlessly anticipating Jack being involved in such a fight. But mostly, I'm looking forward to Jack and Will fighting as a team once again, alongside one another, for the same goal, instead of being at odds constantly and cross-purposes.
