Lol, fair rider. Killing for it might just be the reason a man would have to do that for you--breaking you out of jail or whatnot.

And, of course, he pays the ultimate ultimate sacrifice for her sake in AWE (it's a spoiler that's been brought up before, but last time I outright said it, it started a long stream of denial and such, so I won't).

Forgive me for playing devil's advocate, but I'm going to have to argue that James made the ultimate sacrifice for Elizabeth. He let go. Yes, arguably, Will is prepared to do the same, but James actually does it and then has to witness the results for himself. Even though he loves her deeply (and yes, he really does), he admits that Will is the better match for her. It hurts him and breaks him and (in my opinion) is largely responsible for his downfall, but he'd rather see her happy without him than miserable with him. Even if it costs him everything.

And I think James did just as much for Elizabeth, in his own way. Not only did he essentially devote an entire fleet just to finding her, he personally went on the voyage instead of focusing on managing things back in Port Royal. And then when he did find her and she requested Will's rescue as her "wedding gift", he knew that he was getting manipulated, yet he did it anyway. For her. (Note- if any of y'all have never watched the deleted scenes for CotBP, stop right now and go watch the one titled "Less Than Sincere." It's right after Liz accepts the proposal, and it's amazing.) And, as I said, he still let her go afterward, even though he had every right to demand that she honor their engagement. He tried just as hard as Will did; he just stayed inside the law while doing so.

Then in DMC, he has to watch her essentially throw away his gift (letting her be with Will) to flirt with the very man he holds responsible for ruining his life. And he still says nothing against her. If anything, he tries to warn her ("Did you ever wonder how you latest fiance ended up aboard the Flying Dutchman?"). And then he witnesses their reunion and passionate kiss and sees how happy Elizabeth is around Will.
This (click) to me looks like far more than "not much."

Sorry if that sounds like a rant, but even though I ardently support Willabeth, I also ardently support Norribeth and would probably ship it before Willabeth if I thought it had any real chance of happening. James is a far better man than people give him credit for.

Personally, I almost hope they don't. AWE is going to be killer, and I'm afraid that anything more will just be overkill.

I can neither confirm nor deny the plans for a fourth movie because, quite frankly, I don't know.

I know that there's plenty of talk, but it's actually more or less split (the media just prefers to show the stuff that suggests there will be a 4th).

Personally, I almost hope they don't. AWE is going to be killer, and I'm afraid that anything more will just be overkill. That's not to say that Tad and Terry haven't surprised us before, but...yeah. Three is a good number. If you want more, read fanfics.
