WOAH! WOAH! EVERYBODY! Lets not tear all my hard work to pieces shall we.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->I do not intend to tear your hard work to pieces. You're doing quite a good job on your script. But I was under the impression that we were trying to make a script with the entire community, therefore I decided to post some of my own opinions. Obviously you don't quite agree with what I posted? I would be quite interested to know what exactly you don't agree with and what offended you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

They say as much in several interviews I have read and also mention it in the audio commentaries. According to them, Elizabeth is actually the main protagonist of the story.

Of course it is not stated anywhere in the movies, so it could safely be changed for a prequel. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

They are simply my opinions on what should and should not be done in a prequel, regardless of anything already posted in this or any other thread. Now if you don't agree with my views, that is fine by me. It's your script and you can write whatever you want. I am sure you'll do a good job at your script. However, if I were to write a script, I would stick to my own opinions, just as you want to stick to yours. That is not a problem though. It just proves we are different people with different opinions on what would make a good story. The nice thing is: We would probably both come up with a good story, as different as they might be.

Listen Pieter,
I was saying that for effect, i know that you are entitled to give your opinion as is everyone else, i even said that il loved the idea of the Wench with the sillhoette and everything. Believe me i would rather have you guys disect my script, than some veteran critic. I have no problem with what you say. Also, Jack to me the the PREQUEL should be the main character, because Elizabeth doesnt come into the story quite yet. Actually my script title will now be called: Pirates of the Caribbean: The legend of Jack Sparrow. And i agree with you about us coming up with a good story, we will have to combine it so it goes off like a clockworks. Everyone should write theirs, post it, listen to others opinions, make changes, and when we are done we can pick what content should be in the final. I think everyone has the same basic idea about the plot, just everyone wants more of their preferred character. Please everyone take no offense to this, but see, I prefer Sparrow, Jones, and a bit more showing of Mercer. Commodore John Paul Jones prefers Norrington, again that is fine by me. If every one writes about their preferred character more, it will help the final draft because they can just focus on developing THAT character, as opposed to developing them all. If we play out cards right, this should take the cheese. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
