big fan of the way
jack and barbossa fight using the environment to their advantage in any and every possible way, even when physics or common sense disagrees
will fights like he’s in a ballet, constantly spinning and turning his opponents’ balance (or lack thereof) against them
elizabeth initially improvises and makes only quick and sneaky strikes, then learns from will and the pirates both and lands somewhere in the middle
norrington is usually on the attack and tends to duck and dodge rather than parry blows
it’s good characterization! every action in a battle has so much weight!! sword melees usually devolved into brawls in close quarters and potc finds the balance between fantastical swashbuckling and...falling realistically! throwing punches!! shoving and kicking and running away!!! hot take in the year 2023 the fighting in potc is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

i would just like to say that staying for the credits of a film is not inherently a “marvel” thing to do. i stay for the credits for every movie i see for two reasons: 1. to actually give credit to all the people who poured their blood and soul into this piece of art, not just the big names, and 2. because they usually play a pretty piece of music over it that i quite enjoy listening to. i would also like to go back to my initial point and say that marvel was clearly not the first to have mid or post-credits scenes, despite their efforts and those of their fans to imagine otherwise. pirates of the caribbean has taught me that since 2003, so I will gladly be over here supporting elizabeth reuniting with will rather than seeing a two second clip that’s required viewing to understand the next 20 films that marvel puts out, thank you very much.
