    She's also a frickin' psycho who just wants to slit people's throats rather than trying conversation. She's even prepared to kill her No.1 idol just because it's her "job".

    What a bunny boiler. Stick with Elaine GT, she's good for you! :)

    She would probably be very clingy and nag him a lot, and then if Guybrush did anything she didn't like she would threaten to kill him. Some people are attracted to psycho girlfriend types though.

    I don't know if I'm the only one, but I don't like Morgan. I think it's because she's not that funny, and feels like the token "sexy female character"; she hasn't made me laugh even once. In comparison, Morgan in the "I wonder what happens" version of chapter 3 was very funny, and I kinda wish she could be like that in the actual game, instead of just another cliché. Not to mention her Marry Sue-ish tendencies.

    Elaine is way better in my opinion.

    It's all she knows how to do :(

    I actually feel bad for Morgan after Chapter 3. She likes Guybrush because she thinks he's a pirate mighty enough to stand up to her. She wants someone to tame her.

    I'm so sad. But she is.

    Sacrilege!

    These threads are ridiculous. In the context of the game, Guybrush sees her as the cute fan who also happens to be trying to kill him. there's no romance there at all.

    Why can't he get both at once?:confused:

    He's Guybrush ThreepWOOD. His Wood is famous all over the World!

    I don't know about that. There's at least some sense of friendship there. I think the romantic feelings are one-sided, but I also think he likes her, he's just a bit dense.

    He's not at all dense. One of his options to try and avoid fighting her is to flirt with her, in what is obviously a forced attempt to save his piratey life.

    Personally I dont think Morgan has a strong personality at all. I think Morgan is the one character they didn't develop at all. She has no story, she seems like such a robot to me. Also her voice is very college-girly

    Play Chapter 3 and get back to me.

    Again, play Chapter 3. They really do spend a lot of time developing her character and a bit of backstory. You can't expect here to appear fully formed in her first appearance.

    GT + ML

    Elaine can run off with human LeChuck for all I care. She's getting annoying. Unless they do something with the story to make Morgan more detestable and Elaine more likable and less bossy, that's how I hope it'll play out. We'll find out. The story can go any which way at this point.
  • edited September 2009
    I actually thought Morgan was getting pretty damn obnoxious in this chapter. Too much shrill whining. At least Elaine has a sexy accent when she whines. :p

    Oh, Elaine did whine. With human LeChuck on the ship with the monkeys!

    Poor GT, didn't notice Morgan was hitting on him at the end! It was so romantic! And then ...
  • edited September 2009
    Morgan and Guybrush have a better chemistry so far
  • edited September 2009
    I totally agree, Ecto. :)
  • edited September 2009
    Did you see her faces during the chapter?
    That was so cute!
    And at the end, when she was explaining Guybrush what women wants... Ahhh... I really want them to be together now...
  • edited September 2009
    Elaine is the real strong woman here, And did you see her in the cut scene pining after Guybrush? Aww! That's what we wanted TT. :)

    Mo is an emotionally retarded psycho. Even at the end, once you think they may have bonded somewhat, she still cracks him over the head to take him in. Bitch!

    I'm looking forward to her death in chapter 5 to ensure she never appears in a MI game again.

    PS. To those that are finding a (low poly) computer character "hot". Get a life. There are real women out there & if you can't manage that, at least resort to pr0n. Finding computer characters attractive? :rolleyes: Whatever next? ¬_¬

    I knew this epsiode would polarize people on here.

    She definitely is an emotional cripple. It's implied that she hasn't had an easy life, and doesn't know how to do much else but kill. Characters like this are usually sympathetic when they're men (Guts from Berserk, for example), but it a woman some don't tolerate it.

    Part of the reason she's so fascinated by Guybrush to begin with, is because she hopes he'll be the strong man who can stand up to her and tame her, because she doesn't know how to do it herself. This is why she's so disappointed to learn that Guybrush is so non-confrontational.

    She's also a bit hurt by the time she bonks him over the head. They share a moment earlier where you can see in her eyes she hopes Guybrush "gets it" and when she realizes he's still in love with Elaine, she's clearly hurt, so I think that's part of why she does it too.

    I don't think anyone here is having naughty dreams about her, but in the context of the game she's a cute character and you understand that.

    Every cartoon character would look frightening and disgusting in real life, but a cartoon show you understand what they represent and don't respond with fright or disgust.

    I responded with fright & disgust back in the day when people used to say the PS1 render of Lara Croft was hot. I knew someone that would back her into a wall to try & get a camera close up of her triangular ass. Weird! :confused: It's like hentai... frickin' weird!!

    It's the same thing as fancying Jessica Rabbit when you were wee, and if you tell me you didn't fancy Jessica Rabbit you're a liar...even if you're a girl...or gay...or never saw the film.

    I'm undecided on Morgan, there's still development to be had with her as a character so I can't really judge as yet
  • edited September 2009
    People are just crazy. Nothing we can do about that.

    I'm pretty sure Morgan is hooking up with LeChuck sooner or later. In fact I hope so. I like the current state of LeChuck and I think he can be just as great without all that boring evil voodoo crap they keep forcing on him the last 4 games.

    Guybrush won't leave Elaine; LucasArts would not want one of their beloved gaming protagonists to cheat on his wife. Not cool.

    You're not understanding that the character being portrayed is not actually supposed to have a triagular ass. It's a portrayal limited by technology and abstracted by art style, but people still understand what's being portrayed about the character.

    It's true. Maybe Morgan will hook up with LeChuck.

    I ship Elaine/GT, easy.

    Except we don't really get flattering cutscenes of her except with her constantly Poxing out. Or any real cutscenes with her, period.

    Morgan is growing on me. I like she's gone past the fangirl part. Now into, actually attracted to GT part.

    Though I don't like older men with younger women, so in fact, that's really the thing that stops me shipping them XD

    Also GT is obviously very single-minded. When he said he's a one woman man, he really means it.

    If that part in Chapter 2 where he brushes off just losing his hand to catching up with Elaine because he saw LeChuck give her a flower doesn't clue anyone in.

    Now if only Elaine was somewhat appealing again as a character...

    PS: Nicknaming a girl Mo is just WRONG. I mean, there are adrogynous nicks and shortforms (I'm Samantha, but I go by Sam), but Mo just seems rude.

    It's part of sitcom formula. Notice how there was barely a thread of real storyline / character in the first episode. Then a little bit in the second episode. Now the puzzles and events are almost a backstory to the character interaction.

    Throw in an impossible love-interest to give the story some flavour. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book. It's like MSG for story cooking.

    It's pretty obvious that in the next two episodes there will be some accidental or intentional love interaction between ML and GT, which will probably escalate when Elaine finds out, then the whole thing will be resolved at the end of episode 5.

    Seems pretty obvious Morgan is going to end up with Le Chuck. Unless he goes all voodoo again of course
