Why corsets can change your life

[Ankh]

Okay, if Elizabeth hadn't worn that corset in the first movie, here's what would have happened:
* Elizabeth wouldn't have passed out on that sea wall thing and would have been completely aware of Norrington's true feelings (I don't think she completely got the gist )
* That medallion thingy wouldn't have fallen in the water and (whoosh!) summon the pirates.
* Jack Sparrow wouldn't have saved Elizabeth(in one out of very few of his chivalrous moments), so she would have no motive to save this miscreant, and he would have been hanged, much to the sadness of fangirls everywhere.
* Will Turner would be a lonely, regretful blacksmith for the rest of his pitiful existence.
* Will Turner would not be immortal.
* Various girls that Jack angered would never get VENGEANCE!
* Barbossa would be curse forever. Yup, that's it.
* Davy Jones would have his debt payed, eliminating any remnants of the plot of the later two movies.
* Davy Jones would not be dead.
* James Norrington would not be.......OH, IT'S TOO PAINFUL! *sobs*
* The Kraken would still be living his happy little cephalopod life.
* Gibbs would probably be adopted into that group of pigs he was sleeping on.

Finally, and most importantly:
WE WOULD NEVER KNOW HOW AWESOME NORRINGTON'S HAIR IS!!!!

So, corsets are life changing torture devices.

Right, so, as much as I like Jack, it seems like the non-corset plot is a much better one for everyone with tentacles and/or poofy ice cream wigs, so... DOWN WITH CORSETS!!!

Or, alternatively, Elizabeth could have just not worn the medallion that day, which would result in the plot mentioned by Ankh, only with Jack having at least a small chance of being saved.

But I like Barbossa in the third movie, once he was done with being an antagonist. *pouts* See, he's in my signature.
