“One of the most interesting things about Elizabeth Turner was her Kiss of Death. Throughout the trilogy, all of the men she locked lips with has died - including Sao Feng in At World’s End, and (if you want to be petty about it) her father, Weatherby Swann. Usually they would die moments after kissing her for the first time. This excludes Will Turner who has kissed her several times before and beat the odds every time. However, even he succumbed to her kiss and died as well minutes after the two were hastily married by Barbossa.

This is most likely a just coincidence and not something that was intentional, but years later it’s still fun to point out to friends and watch a dawn of realization hit their face when they realize that Pirate Queen Elizabeth may have also been the Grim Reaper.”

Alot of people seem to miss these two additional details:

1. The kiss of death only works when she’s on a boat (she never kissed Will on a boat until their wedding)
   
2. When the effect does kick in, the killing is preformed by the crew of the Dutchman.

When Jack died, he was killed by the Kraken, summoned by Davy Jones.

When Sao Feng died, was by the damage from the canons of the Dutchman

When Norrington died, it was by Bootstrap Bill, a member of it’s crew.

And when Will died, it was directly by the hands of Davy Jones.

One more thing that has struck me as odd is when she interracts with Davy Jones, he acts as if he’s seen her somewhere before. When the Empress crew point her out as the captain he has a sort of “wtf, you, you are their captain?” reaction, now you could just shake that of as Davy Jones being a misogynistic but i don’t doubt he’s seen female pirate captains before, given how long he’s lived. And when they come face to face on the Dutchman, it feels like a meeting between sworn long time enemies (at least to me).

Elizabeth, what the hell are you even and what exactly is your connection to the Dutchman.

hot take but i think captain swann embodiment of the sea itself

Davy Jones fell in love with the goddess of the sea.

Will Turner fell in love with Elizabeth Swan. 

Davy Jones dies, and Will Turner becomes the Captain of the Flying Dutchmen who continues the job that Davy Jones cast aside to ferry the dead. 

The Goddess of the Sea, Calypso, explodes into crabs. 

Will Turner gets to return every seven years to spend a day with Elizabeth Swan, who waits for him much like Calypso waited for Davy Jones. 

Elizabeth Swan is the new Calypso. 

im down for that. would keep in line of passing the new generation taking the duties as the old generation disappears
