"norrington's One Of My Favs But The Way Some Parts Of His Fandom Act Like His Death Is Something That

"norrington's one of my favs but the way some parts of his fandom act like his death is something that serves no point cuz it was tragic and senseless feels like a big woosh moment that makes me kind of embarrassed

like yeah its sad and unfair he dies welcome to at worlds end it is basically a tragedy anyway did you not see how the entire movie begins w sequences of senseless death and also pins its climax on senseless death that's the point it's why elizabeth's dad dying matters so much and esp why it matters that norrington didn't change sides until it started hurting people close to him and why he himself says he's not absolved from his other sins the ravages of capitalism doesn't give a shit about you and letting it chew the world up means you will eventually get caught in its teeth too thats the entire point of the story

its supposed to be sad and make you think about the consequences of being complicit in a messed up system the tragedy isn't that he died it's that he ever thought it was worth it to betray everyone and join beckett in the first place"
