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!!!!!!!!

finished rewatching Thor 1. How is this movie so good? Like I usually rank it so high but I was prepared for me to be reminded of bad stuff in it or whatever BUT LIKE. NOT AT ALL? Even the now overdone post-credits teaser concept was so spot on then (setting up cap1, the avengers 1, the tesseract, and nick fury, erik selvigs and nick furys involvement) and just like? Hits all the emotional beats, has the best villain (bringing back Loki in avengers 1 really is the best decision of all time I'll get back to that once I rewatch that), does NOT in fact end on a 'saving earth' battle but on Thor trying to save Jotunheim (full circle character moment) and ThorJane is even cuter than I remember holy moly.
This is the first mcu movie I ever saw and I get why I fell in love it, and it was a gateway to the mcu as a whole. It stumbles at times but man it has a vision, one that stands on its own but works to set up future stories. I love it so. When it was made they couldn't have fathomed what it would be a part of but it makes it somehow even more special.

my *in-universe reason for why masato couldnt be in ishin longer is because he had to use the last of his Foreign Drugs for his second scene and since he couldnt get any more they had to cut him because he insisted on just standing without it and kept keeling over as a result
*in-universe being that ishin is a movie and theyre all actors for some reason
