MAJOR SPOILERS: The ending could mean...
Well, I thought of this earlier in one thread, and with a slightly positive response even, but that was before the release of chapter 4.
Now, regarding the ending...
Now, regarding the ending...
We have for some time now discussed different ways of having Guybrush return to Monkey Island, as well as reasons to why he should not. Not many people would like to revisit the island, mainly because it's free of hermits, cannibals and giant monkey heads.
But with both Guybrush and Morgan getting killed, there's a possibility for the both of them to return to the island.
Does anyone out there remember the vicious mushroom-covered lands resting BENEATH Monkey Island, and what roles they played...?

interesting thought, but i wonder what was
i must say somehow this episode really topped out for me in so many climaxs, and the humor and the sadness, god damn this is amazing episode, they better do another season else ill be very sad
What makes you say that?
But in a Telltale game derived from a LucasArts franchise, that's another matter
But I agree, it was as much a shock to the system as Morgan cutting off Guybrush's hand was, if not more (as in where do we go from here as an ongoing saga?).
That was a real Disney moment, as was the one with Morgan. Perfect tone, correct length, did the characters justice.
Agreed. They know how to quit when they're ahead, it would seem.
Personally, I would never have believed
However, with Morgan disappearing, I suppose that the monkey Jaqcues gave her some juice de vie.
Then with the plans shown with the projector maybe they can mix up some more of it after Elaine severed LeChuck´s hand. This is used to save Guybrush.
Something along those lines.
But after Morgans deathscene eaverything is so sad. I made guybrush look at the microscope on the table and he just sais something like "its broken" in a way that made me think about how this episode could have any funny moments anymore
great episode though
Technically, Monkey Island 2 didn't end that way. Yeah, you get the scene with Guybrush ripping LeChuck's leg off (and his arm falling off and the dog taking it away) and "I am your brother" and all that, but the amusement park scene shows that LeChuck is just fine, and his zombie form isn't actually defeated until three months later (according to Stan, if you ask him to be your lawyer) at the start of the third game. Really, Monkey Island 2 is fairly unique in that it ends with the villain defeating the hero.
Also, this brings something else to mind. Tales is the first Monkey Island where we don't find out how LeChuck was resurrected after his last defeat. His ghost is defeated with root beer, his beard is used to bring him back as a zombie, which is destroyed by a voodoo cannonball, which turns him into a fire demon, which is trapped under ice, only to be saved by Ozzie Mandrill. Then he possesses a giant statue and gets destroyed in a giant voodoo explosion when he breaks Ozzie's Ultimate Insult. Then what? I'm not saying that it's at all necessary to explain how he came back, just that this is the first time that no explanation has been given.
De Singe definitely could've done it. He had the advantage of immortality, and Morgan's skill level wouldn't matter if she did what Elaine did and dropped her sword in surprise when the Marquis didn't die. If she had done that, De Singe could've easily pulled the sword out of himself and stabbed her with it. Besides, LeChuck hadn't busted out of prison yet, plus as far as we've seen, he'd never even met Morgan, much less had any reason to kill her.
Yeah, Dominic Armato definitely deserves some credit for the emotion he put into that. He's made Guybrush sound happy, worried, nervous, flustered, even smarmy, and countless other light emotions. I believe this is the first time Guybrush has ever sounded genuinely pissed.
De Singe didn't kill Morgan - why would he deny it if he did? Seeing as he got totally evaporated in the end and his story is finished.
LeChuck most lkely didn't kill Morgan either. He was in jail the whole time.
Morgan is probably not dead else why make a point of her body dissapearing.
My crazy theory: She might have been Lechuck's accomplice all that time and will come back next episode alive/undead.
They said that the beginning of Taales of Monkey Island started from the ending of the so-called Monkey island film... so we won't know how he returned to life...:(
Naw. That would be a colossal anticlimax after her immense regret in the last two scenes she was in. I think she has to come back, but not on LeChuck's side.
Yea, that makes sense. I didn't think of it actually, because I only entered De Singe's house rather late in the game.
I kinda thought that too for a moment, until I remembered that you can tell Elaine in the last part that DeSinge killed Morgan; Poxed Elaine just mentions that maybe he's not that bad after all, and I can imagine with half the things she's been ranting about, she'd take credit if she ran Morgan through herself. '
Now Im giggling remembering her yelling at Morgan to stay away from Guybrush's pants. Heh.
How could it possibly be?!?
That's a terribly wrong statement.
Think of how many possible deaths there were in the Indy games. And anyway this is not a puzzle gone wrong, this is part of the plot. There's death as a plot point in The Dig, not to mention Grim Fandango, where Death itself IS the plot.
Hang on.. Stan said he was in the coffin for three months, but Elaine says that she didnt see Guybrush after the end of the second game for three *years*.
Bearing in mind that Wally managed to get through twelve installments of LeChuck's monthly guide on how to be a pirate by the time he meets Guybrush again in CMI, is he a fast reader or a very slow one?!
this is not my statement! its just a quote from MI3. It's what Mort the Gravedigger says after guybrush faked his own death to get into the Goodsoup family crypt.
so go tell him!
LeChuck couldn't have killed her either. In order to arrive right when Elaine arrived, he would've had to go straight to the courthouse, and later he couldn't have either, because he was in jail.
We always knew where Elaine was, so she's also not a probable suspect.
I think Morgan killed herself. And that she's not actually dead. I mean, her body mysteriously disappeared, I don't think anyone would've had a reason to go up to the doctor's place to remove her body, other than the characters that are known to have been doing something else. Also, she was "alive" for quite a while. She had a message from Jacques, and there were plans for DeSinge's machine in the room---I think this ties in some how. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait until the next episode to find out what happens. I think Guybrush has to come back because Elaine is in no position to save herself. Unless Morgan reappears then... But still, killing off the main character? Seems unlikely.
Yes. Morgan's presence was a threat to fate's development for Guybrush / Elaine / LeChuck so she was killed by her. At least, I think that would make sense.
LeChuck isn't as smart as Guybrush. But then the guard at the prison was fairly stupid. It's possible.
Definitely funny-business in re: Morgan disappearing. She's probably in on what's happening.
