LeChuck's Body: Where Did It Come From ?
something else to think about is LeChuck's actual body. i mean, he goes from being a ghost in MI1, to a resurrected decaying corpse in MI2, to a flaming demon in MI3 and 4. so now, in MI5, where did this new, perfectly healthy human body come from ? we found out in MI2 that LeChuck can't be brought back to life per se, but he can be resurrected w/ a "living" part of him (his beard). but now, suddenly, he has a brand new body just as if he had not been dead and buried for years in the first place.

im guessing his zombie form is just his body rotting. and im gueesing the cutlass of kaflu is a pretty powerfull vodoo item
Well naturally, Guybrush had to sail 6 of the 7 major seas to assemble it after all.
We actually never see what happened to his corpse at the end of MI2.
If the whole LeChuck being a kid under the corpse thing was just an illusion for Guybrush, what was to stop his Demon form re-inhabiting his zombie corpse after MI4?
Wait a minute, that actually makes sense in this context.
It was magic.
When Guybrush and LeChuck held the Cutlass of Kaflu, Guybrush took on some of LeChuck's evil and zombie-ness. While LeChuck took some of Guybrush's humanity. Obviously this is a fairly uneven exchange, so far Guybrush isn't a full demon-zombie and a lot of LeChuck's evil voodoo mojo is floating in the air, but it's obvious to me that this new LeChuck form is simply our LeChuck taking on the humanity of Guybrush.
To what extent that affects both of our characters, we'll have to see. The reaction seems much stronger in LeChuck, while Guybrush only has one evil hand and occasionally takes on LeChuck's antisocial traits. We have few hints as to what is going on in LeChuck's now-living brain, but I'd suspect something has changed.
I'm wondering this, too. What did Elaine mean by 'Woof'??
Personally I find that beard very unkissable.
I wondered aout the "woof" too, but then straight after she told Guyrush to finish him off.
I think the question would have to be, concerning the prologue section, why was he being depicted in his greeny-zombie form Monkey Island 2 and the first chapter of The Curse of Monkey Island (before the vodoo cannon ball explosion), considering that his default shape was now the demon-flame form.
But then again, he was able to sitch into all his different shapes in Escape from Monkey Island (including an awfully designed representation of the greeny-zombie form), so it shouldn't be an important question either. He even says, when questioned, that the external appearance is not that important.
Also, isn't everyone forgetting the biggest mystery of them all? Where did LeChuck get that flower?
He picked it from Chuck the plant, of course!
More like disguise.
When he reveals up, he spends the most time as flaming demon, with a couple of revertings to the other two forms.
Hate to say it, but I agree with you. But I liked him when he looked monster-ish, I'm just a bit odd that way. He does look decent, though, I assumed he'd be a really ugly human.
I have this feeling that in the next Episode, it might be the whole of Guybrushs arm that i corrupted instead of just his hand
Whatever happens, I'm sure that Telltale will give us a thrilling adventure. Episode 2 can't arrive soon enough!
ah man could you imagne that. liek you play as a evil zombie guybrush. the pox slowly taking over his body and guybrush hasto get to the sponge in time. if i can take you back to monkey island 3 on blood island the ghost bride tells you that she fell in love with le chuck and he was very handom ect. i guess that is what were seeing now
Well that wasn't confusing at all, was it? xD That's how I'd like episode 5 to go.
Well..... you see... when a man, and a woman love each other.....they uh..... um.... you see.....they... Storks brought it.
Not yet.
It didn't sound ominous enough.
I thought the beard would ruin it too, but I found Guybrush suddenly quite attractive
Has no-one discussed this yet?
But she did kind of pause before she told him to finish LeChuck off ... although she could have been considering if it was still right to kill LeChuck now that's he Human.
Where do the birds and bees come in then? @_@
You can see LeChucks Body flying away with the explotion. The statue blew up, Le Chuck was throw(n?) away.
Fear change! FEAR IT!!!
