Amazing!!! I have never seen one that could lay a finger on this James video!!! I had me crying at the end, but I always do when I see that part of AWE... I agree with everything that you stated and that which you implied but did not state aloud. Mourning James For All Eternity
Thank you! I'm glad that my video could inspire you to think a little more highly of James! The "took" bit was rather literal, I'd say. Maybe Elizabeth had always loved Will, but I meant it in the way that if Will hadn't intervened, Elizabeth /would/ have married Norrington... Though I guess some parts of this video /is/ a little biased. XD But it's just that too few people see the heroism in Norrington-- he is always overshadowed by Jack Sparrow and Will.
Thanks! And yeah, Norrie's life is so sad... And everyone owes him. Imagine my rage when Elizabeth says "It's too late to earn my forgiveness"- sheesh.
Great Video!! OMG James's life is so sad, he did so much for others and many of them just threw it back in his face. I can't help but feel a slight dislike for Elizabeth becuase if it wasn't for her James wouldn't have lost his job as commodore.
Very beautiful and well thought video and I'm totally with you. Norrington brought depth and thought and internal conflict to the movies and he had such great opportunities to develop even more. Didn't he suffer enough already? PoTC could never be the same without him.
James Norrington i believe is the most honorable character for his actions. First of all, in the first movie, when Elizabeth said she loved Will he didn't try to fight it he did what he thought would make her happy. And all he was trying to do throughout all the movies is just trying to keep her safe even at the expense of his own life. James Norrington rox!!!!
I love James with all my heart. When he died the sun lost one of its rays and the world was that little bit darker xxx James Norrington, you dominate Will Turner xxx
Well, we'll be giving this to Terry and Ted. And there is never any harm in trying; after all they said they would try to write a script for POTC 4. Thank you for telling me this though!
Wow...I'm speechless! That brought tears to my eyes. 8D. I have to say for all those Norrington Dissers, they should all watch this, it shows the true colors of Norrington! Fantasic Job!
You're Welcome! It's a pleasure to help this thing to be known so we have more chanses to see our beloved admiral back! BRING BACK JAMES NORRINGTON!!!!!!
16 years later :D Great video. I don’t believe in the unfair „canon“ story of James. I feel like creators just wanted to show such fate, but didn’t really take his true character arc into account. I remember watching it some years ago as a kid (for the first time) and not believing in his downfall at all. Very sad, because the trilogy is actually great, excluding this one story messed up. I totally understand, why he would get drunk after losing his life, but the pre-story of that is a major plot hole. Commodore Norrington is a noble officer of the British Royal Navy, very skilled, concentrated and responsible. He would’ve never behaved foolish and lost his ship and crew. He would’ve never resigned or gone to Tortuga. According to Elizabeth he is a rich gentleman. Ne, I don’t believe he would literally lose everything and become a homeless dirty drunk person)
By the way, Agents of SHIELD series got launched, because thousands of fans have „signed a petition“ for bringing Phil Coulson back - the hashtag bringcoulsonback has swept the internet after his death in Avengers:) Maybe, it worked, because Marvel creators are a little bit like a fanfiction community - open-minded and more connected to the audience. Maybe it would’ve worked for James too, but it was other times back then and there weren’t enough supporters out there. Maybe the authors just wanted him out. Anyway, seeing the „new“ Pirates, I think it‘s better James is not there. This is not his level of quality. The picture is bad, the plot is bad, the make-up is bad, the wigs are bad, the supporting characters are bad, only Johnny makes it look ok from time to time. James deserves better) and he gets it in our fanfiction and fan videos. Now, as they killed him off, he belongs to us only and we can tell his true story with all the respect😏
Beautiful. I'm a Jack Sparrow fan all the way, but James Norrington has always been a favorite. In the eyes of the Navy, Norrington is the Hero and Jack Sparrow is the Villian. In the eyes of a pirate the oposite is true. Villianery and Heroism is in the eye of the beholder.
(continued) Norrington pardoned him after he attempted to rescue Jack Sparrow from getting hanged, and therefore saved his neck AGAIN. And he still doesn't feel guilty taking Elizabeth away from our dear Norrington...
I would like to say thank you to all those who liked this video and who gave their support to the petition! I am sorry that I have been very busy lately and couldn't reply to each individual comment, but I am grateful to all of you. ^__^ The petition will be presented to the writers soon, so it'd be great if you could help spread the word and get more people to sign! James Norrington forever!!
Yep, you are definitely right. I am aware of that too, but if I put both incidents at the beginnning it would break the flow. But after the words "The man he saved... took his fiancee", I put the scene where Elizabeth asked James to save Will as a flashback, hinting at the fact that Norrington saved Will again then. So Will owes Norrington twice the debt- no, actually, make it thrice. (continued... cut by 500 character limit)
Well said! I agree with you. Norrington is a good man and doesn't deserve to die, but he did manage to die for what he cared for. However, I still think the death scene was badly written, and overall, I think it's very unreasonable that while Norrington played such a big role in DMC, he dies so soon after he got his job back. Above all, of course, I wish he would return. *sniff*
Actually, I just downloaded other Norrington tribute vids from UA-cam and took the clips I needed from each of them. Yeah, that's pretty much my secret. So a big thank you to all who put up Norrington vids, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put this together. For AWE clips, you can find them in the Norrington/Norribeth tribute of the user narnialovers. It's a great tribute. You can also find Norrington's death scene just by searching those words.
Noo... don't leave me Norry! I WUV YOU! [sobs] Indeed... Norrington was the true hero. If it weren't for him, there would have been no stopping Beckett. Why did they have to kill him off? Take Will instead.
The info about the music is in my video description, actually: (beginning and ending) Fake Wings, from .hack//SIGN (middle) Lithium, from Evanescence Thanks for liking the vid =)
Well, that's one way to drop the bomb. It was effective of course; if by effective you mean that it would have brought me to tears if this carried on. I can really understand where you are coming from, even though plenty of characters deserve another chance, some more understanding, but never receive the amount they have sought for, or even just the dignity, care and respect they searched for. Norrington was a man of duty and code, having to follow orders. And whenever he did not, it was for a rather plausible reason. Though, don't make Barbossa's resurrection, Jack's rescue, or Will Turner's chance to live on an excuse. Everything has a reason. It was a nicely made, emotional video and it would have probably persuaded me. However, it is quite late now. Both the fourth and fifth film have passed by. Ah, well.
yah James is a good character, good job on the video, although he died for a reason and how can they bring him back? unless Tia Dalma (aka calypso) comes back but they already released her from her human bonds. and in my opinion james' character played its part all ready but your opinion is also good. thanks for the video and THERE BETTER BE A FOURTH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!! haha I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP AND ORLANDO BLOOM!!
he lived by the sword by died by the spear (or pike). But to die in a place like that....... was not cool. I think he should've stayed on the Endeaver where the enviorment is clean and safe.
(Con't) James Norrington did not deserve to die... although since death is inevitable, and it is the one thing we cannot escape, I think it was the most fitting death for him. He saved his love, Elizabeth, and he died in the line of duty, with the honor and dignity he always strived to uphold. Nevertheless, I cried. He was a good man and a good Military man (even a good pirate ;) hehe!)
(dumb 500 charcter rule... con't)James Norrington was a selfless man, who would do anything for his country, his duty, his sense of honor, or his love. I gasped and cried when he died, as I did for Jack Sparrow (in DMC) and for Will and Gov. Swann in AWE.
um well if your gunna go on about other peoples sides of the story elizabeth could be the main charecter thain again so could jack but they all lead up to will hesthe 1 with the blood from his dad hes the 1 whois turned into a new davy jones captain of the flying duchmon thats just 1 side of the story but it was still good
It's about time to present the petition to the writers... However, I cannot access their website, wordplayer(dot)com. Is there anyone here who can access it? If you can, please contact me at thedarkestvoid(at)gmail(dot)com! I need someone to tell the writers about this petition! Thanks so much~~~
James Norrington is better than Will Turner! I love you, James ❤.
Drug Account agreed:)
Poor James he started out an honest man and didn't deserve to die this way!!
And this is why I hate Elizabeth so much....she's the reason for all his pain....he deserves so much more, poor thing.
Screw Will, Norrington was obviously the movie's eye candy!
As long as you want to tell, there can always be a story. A story never dies.
I think he was some what a good person in a bad world.
I signed it years ago... I think I'll go sign it again. James really WAS the true hero...
Thank you! It really makes my day to receive such appreciation. ^_^
Yep, James Norrington forever!
James deserved so much more than he got
Amazing!!! I have never seen one that could lay a finger on this James video!!! I had me crying at the end, but I always do when I see that part of AWE... I agree with everything that you stated and that which you implied but did not state aloud.
Mourning James For All Eternity
He was perfect for that character wasn't he?
Thank you! Thank you very much. And it's great to see how much Norrington is loved. ^^ I will certainly look at your tributes to him!
This was the best tribute video so far. I have been finding this masterpiece.
14 years ago =_=
Glad people still manage to find this video after all this time ;)
Thank you! I'm glad that my video could inspire you to think a little more highly of James! The "took" bit was rather literal, I'd say. Maybe Elizabeth had always loved Will, but I meant it in the way that if Will hadn't intervened, Elizabeth /would/ have married Norrington...

Thanks! And yeah, Norrie's life is so sad...
And everyone owes him. Imagine my rage when Elizabeth says "It's too late to earn my forgiveness"- sheesh.
Thank you very much! ^^ I am very glad you think this video can show Norrington's true colours-- I hope more people will realise what a hero he is!
Great Video!! OMG James's life is so sad, he did so much for others and many of them just threw it back in his face.
I can't help but feel a slight dislike for Elizabeth becuase if it wasn't for her James wouldn't have lost his job as commodore.

I cried when I saw his death scene. I still do :(
First film Jack said "I was rooting for you mate, remember that" second film
James Norrington, my admiral of love. He shall be missed forever and shall lay within the hearts of many women.
Beautiful. I'm a Jack Sparrow fan all the way, but James Norrington has always been a favorite. In the eyes of the Navy, Norrington is the Hero and Jack Sparrow is the Villian. In the eyes of a pirate the oposite is true. Villianery and Heroism is in the eye of the beholder.
my loveee, come back!!
Norrington is the best ice cream man ever.... I miss him. (don't ask)
So beautful, completly fitting for the man.
Thanks so much!
(continued) Norrington pardoned him after he attempted to rescue Jack Sparrow from getting hanged, and therefore saved his neck AGAIN.
And he still doesn't feel guilty taking Elizabeth away from our dear Norrington...
aw hes so sweet
Thank you!
They killed Norrington, Gillette, and Groves now :(
Thank you! ^^

Thanks
Yes, definitely! I work hard to spread the word of the petition. This vid also helps. ^^
Thanks! ^__^
I feel the same way! Thank you for watching my vid.
My hero ❤❤❤ love you James ❤❤❤ 😍😍
Oh I do like this!!! 5/5* faves! Sheila xx
Actually, I just downloaded other Norrington tribute vids from UA-cam and took the clips I needed from each of them. Yeah, that's pretty much my secret. So a big thank you to all who put up Norrington vids, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put this together.

You can also find Norrington's death scene just by searching those words.
That's great!! Thanks so much! My aim is 1000 signatures. It'll look more impressive, and therefore more convincing to the writers.
Noo... don't leave me Norry! I WUV YOU! [sobs]
Indeed... Norrington was the true hero. If it weren't for him, there would have been no stopping Beckett. Why did they have to kill him off? Take Will instead.
The info about the music is in my video description, actually:
(beginning and ending) Fake Wings, from .hack//SIGN
(middle) Lithium, from Evanescence
Thanks for liking the vid =)
254 signatures! If I tink that when I signed I was sad because I was the 56... Definetly improved!
poor james. He was a true hero
You are so true...
Yes he was!
james norrington is the true hero
Norrington was entirely different person from Jack! But bring him back!!!
Yeah, I agree!
You are very welcome :)
y do the best characters in films have to die? it is not fair!
He died to easy. If that is what love does ? is some one trying to say something to use
i love his voice so sexy^^ i hated that he died in the last movie so sad:/ he died a hero but without love:..( love you Commodore!!!
How do you get the AWE clips I have been looking for them and I can't get them.
You sir are a cruel person to all fangirls' feels. You just can't understand. *Shakes head*
Well, that's one way to drop the bomb. It was effective of course; if by effective you mean that it would have brought me to tears if this carried on. I can really understand where you are coming from, even though plenty of characters deserve another chance, some more understanding, but never receive the amount they have sought for, or even just the dignity, care and respect they searched for.

@kittyokittykitty ???? I dont even rember writing this! :O
yah James is a good character, good job on the video, although he died for a reason and how can they bring him back? unless Tia Dalma (aka calypso) comes back but they already released her from her human bonds. and in my opinion james' character played its part all ready but your opinion is also good. thanks for the video and THERE BETTER BE A FOURTH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!! haha I LOVE JOHNNY DEPP AND ORLANDO BLOOM!!

C'mon, people, keep signing. We still need a lot more signatures!
wow, that's pretty harsh
he lived by the sword by died by the spear (or pike). But to die in a place like that.......
was not cool. I think he should've stayed on the Endeaver where the enviorment
is clean and safe.
Bring James back the locker in the 4th film!!!
I think that was James norrington as a pirate.
Can I add that Will would have died in Barbossa's cave too if it wasn't for Norrie? One more thing in his advantage!
(Con't) James Norrington did not deserve to die... although since death is inevitable, and it is the one thing we cannot escape, I think it was the most fitting death for him.

He was a good man and a good Military man (even a good pirate ;) hehe!)
well you got a point iravenl...if it wasent from norrington...will make never have live out of the sea...=p
Agreed. :)
I agree, why can't norry be brought back? If Disney wanted a story, I could provide them with one, quite easily. I've already written it.
I hated it when he died, I can never ever watch that scene afin
(dumb 500 charcter rule... con't)James Norrington was a selfless man, who would do anything for his country, his duty, his sense of honor, or his love. I gasped and cried when he died, as I did for Jack Sparrow (in DMC) and for Will and Gov. Swann in AWE.
I do my best. You can help too, by getting more people to sign. ^__^
Hehe LOL
Трогательная песня
