More fandom wank, part II

[veronica_rich]

And I actually wanked on this one. (Honestly, I only gave my opinion in the comments, which was fairly mild, I think. Where else can I bitch about things that have no importance in the real world, my job, or my friends and family, but LiveJournal? This is what happens when you travel under a pseudonym. *G*)

OK, sports fans, read on: http://community.livejournal.com/arrrrr/362879.html

This post is very image-intensive; if you don't have a DSL or cable connection, you'll be waiting a while for it to download. If there are any J/E 'shippers on my list, I would particularly enjoy hearing your comments in MY journal entry here on this, with respect to if you feel either Jack's or Elizabeth's character has been altered to such degree to achieve these ends as to render them unrecognizable from the Jack and/or Elizabeth you like.

And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe each of them had this in them all along and there's nothing despicable about it?

I'm on that borderline point of laughing and crying. I'm simply not sure which to do. ;;^^ My college hookup is frigging slow, but even of the few pages that have shown I'm incredibly disturbed. Ew. Just, Ewwwww~. Lizzie's drawn kinda cute, but the dialogue is attrocious as is the story telling and all the characters. ;;^^ I like how Tia Dalma looks... but seriously, this was messed up. o_____0;;

And the ending, with Elizabeth all gung-ho in the front - "I shall lead us all to Captain Jack Sparrow, my pirate LOVE OF MY LIFE OMG!!!!11" Will's just like "K."

That was fucked up.

You know, as little as I cared for Elizabeth seducing Jack in DMC (I can't say for sure if she could've outwitted him--they seem like they'd be pretty even for smarts, but Jack's much more experienced in matters of mind games, I should think), I can't say I much like the way she just passively lets Jack lay hands on her. Melts into him, in many panels.

"...And the woman he loves?"

And Elizabeth is leading this little expedition? O_O I mean, Jesus, don't get me wrong; under pretty much any circumstances, I'd jump for joy at a woman, Elizabeth especially, taking charge like that. But given what we just fucking saw and everything, it's like... WTF?

"...side by side with his mates and the woman he loves." I'd laugh, but I think they're serious. Is that in the novelization too, or did it come from the vicinity of the writer's rear end?

Well, Tia Dalma looks great, even if everyone else came out not so well on the art end. Especially, Elizabeth. Man, maybe the writer loved her, but it looks like the artist hated her.
