User blog comment:CutlerBeckett/Will Turner or Philip Swift/@comment-1984959-20120825213659

(Inspired by Philip's quote) I'm not with them, neither am I against them...but I will state my thoughts on the matter here:

Although neither are my top favorite characters, I do like both Will Turner and Philip Swift, as well as their roles in the films they appear in. However, in the matter of Pirates 5, which I believe it is, this is my view on the matter: I like Philip to return than Will. Why?...
 * 1) Will's story ended perfectly in AWE, and I rather keep it that way. No use to waste an ending such as that for a return. Besides, I rather keep Will (and Elizabeth) out of further films so I can call POTC 1-3 the "Willabeth trilogy". If Will was to return in the franchise, I rather see him in a short film or a some book rather than a full-length film...though I personally would not want to see him period.
 * 2) Philip's story can go places. Not saying I want him to come back; to be honest, I don't care if he comes back(these films were supposedly meant to stay as "standalone" as possible, though it may just mean what story was to be told). However, I will say I do have a desire for him to come back as, unlike Will's ending in AWE, Philip and Syrena's ending was practically having a "TO BE CONTINUED" sort of ending to me...ok, in reality, it was only to be ambiguous, but I know lots of fans want to know! But if for some reason Philip doesn't return in P5, I won't be mad.

So yea, that's all the reasons why I would like Philip to return(but wouldn't mind if he doesn't)...and why I really hope Will stays on the Dutchman and away from P5. Seriously, Will...stay away!
