Could be worse. Let's hope the Turner family don't appear in Pirates IV, if it gets made.
Why? It's a DISNEY FILM. And what do we know about families in Disney films?
That's right--Elizabeth is a DEAD WOMAN WALKING. She'llexpire abruptly be dead before she hits the ground, leaving Will to raise their child alone in classic Disney fashion.
ETA: So, in this vein let's consider the Pirates films, shall we?
Will Turner: first seen as a young child, the sole survivor of a shipwreck. Later we learn that his father is still alive. His mother? Not so much.
Elizabeth Swann: traveling to America with her father. No mother evident; we can safely assume she's deceased. Standard Disney family situation.
Jack Sparrow: POTC 3 demonstrates that his mother, too, is deceased. (Or at least, let's HOPE she's deceased....), though Jack being an adult at this point, the matter is largely moot.

So in child logic, I thought that meant that one of my parents would die. And I used to get very upset, wondering when it was going to happen. I'm not sure at what point I realized it wasn't true, but I do remember thinking it even now! Maybe all the Disney movies I saw influenced me.
