I thought it was the perfect reaction, too. I wouldn't have blamed her for beating on him a little. Most VM fans tend to approach the show as Logan is the ultimate beloved woobie, and how dare that girl do anything but pet and fawn all over him, doesn't she realize how damaged he is? (Forget all her own trauma and the fact that he spent a year giving her every reason to hate him, and has spent the time since they started becoming friends and then more again flip flopping between reasons to love him and reasons to hate him...and oh yeah, the part where his father tried to burn her alive in a refrigerator.)
I very much see the appeal of the damaged, broken Norington being reunited with the woman he loves, only to learn that she's looking for the man he let her leave him for, because it casts him as a very tragic, romantic figure, but please, much more appealing all nice and clean. (I guess I can see the appeal of the scruffy look after a bath, brushing out the hair, but really...)
I disliked what was done to him in the second movie, but I never had issues with his actions. He did the noble thing and then lost everything because of it, and then was given a chance to get it all back, and he took it.
As far as ravishing goes...*points to icon* When they finally get over chasing each other all over the caribbean and Will finds them on the island where they found Davy Jones's heart. That girl was getting as much Will Turner as she could with people watching. I also handwave some of her actions in the movie as her being very sexually frustrated and being deprived of her wedding night. We know who would be saying they had to wait for the wedding, and it wouldn't be her. (And her father doesn't count.) That beach kiss was one of the best full body melds ever.
Out of curiosity, have you ever seen Last Exile? There's a character there who makes me think of Will(esp. in the "obsessive devotion to a woman far above his station" area.)
