Ever consider that Will Turner never even saw (much less wanted) the heart of Davy Jones? He only stole the key. He only wanted Elizabeth. Yet he ended up the captain of The Flying Dutchman.
You know the only people who did see it?
Jack: the one who wants it for selfish reasons and to save his hide
Elizabeth: the one who wants it for good reasons and to save her dad and her fiancé
James: the one who didn't want it and didn't believe it existed until he saw it
And who, out of this bunch, ends up successfully stealing it? James. Idk, there's something fitting about this downtrodden and repeatedly rejected Navy guy unearthing and beholding and possessing the beating heart of a cursed sea captain who cut out his own heart because he was sick and tired of the pain of his love.
Do you ever consider that this heart might've beat disturbingly in tandem with his? Hidden in his shirt, against his chest . . .?
