    I'm assuming Lechuck is, although Telltale have really made you think with the strange behaviour of the Voodoo Lady, Elaine, De Singe etc. I guess we'll find out for sure very soon!

    LeChuck. Though I hope they will do something interesting with him--after four games, "I will kill Guybrush and marry Elaine!" gets a bit old.

    That's why I was actually glad to see him as good and human this season, and why I was a little disappointed with the return to evil at the end of the game. Though not too disappointed, because that ending scene was shocking in the most epic of ways.

    Agreed. The LeChuck formula has probably run it's course. I don't think he has to disappear completely though. I kind of hope he returns to human form and remains Guybrush's nemesis throughout the series. Kind of like a rival who shows up from time to time to harass Guybrush and always tries to best him.

    Yes, I'm crazy: has Elaine murdered Morgan?

    DeSinge! I doubt we've seen the last of him, 'cause he was able to INSTANTLY repair his broken finger (the one Morgan broke for him). He'll be back...
    :^)

    Yes, but we also seen he got instantly hurt the moment the instant-power-giving hand of LePoxbrush Threepwood left his turban.

    In case you didn't get it, yes, he's still quite dead.

    True... However, he didn't have the hand in Club 41 (when Morgan broke his finger) and he was still able to heal it instantly... (there's a pattern to my madness... Hehehe!)

    Maybe we need De Singe to help to resurrect Guybrush, but first we need to track down the 24,357,833 bits of him that are scattered around the Caribbean.

    I say he hides the hand somewhere. It's what you can expect from a middle-aged guy with exaggerated facial make-up.

    In my mind, there can be only one (real villain in a Monkey Island game, that is). We saw this in Escape: Ozzy Mandril just didn't cut it.

    So, even though De Singe has been more of a threat, and the voodoo lady has been even more obnoxiously cryptic than usual, I can only vote for:

    MURRAY, THE ALL POWERFUL DEMONIC SKULL!!

    Right, get away from my keyboard, you numbskull.

    No, what I meant to say was:

    Lechuck

    Who else?

    Well, even though TTG gave us a positive relation to Morgan, I can imagine her stabbing Elaine during the LeChuck fight at the very beginning of part 5.
    Don't ask me why, I said it's just an imagine :)

    Maybe...at the end of the day, we are the true villains of Monkey Island. Oh, sure, we can demonize
    the Voodoo Lady for messing with the course of events for her "greater good"
    . But when WE do the same thing, by...well, playing the game, suddenly we are blameless?

    NAY, I say! Our tinkering and puzzle-solving have not gone unnoticed by the pirate world! We've forced Guybrush into so many situations, many of them deadly or difficult! We have demanded that he pick up dreaded porcelain, we've forced him to stuff his pockets full of everything from rubber chickens with a pulley in the middle to living dogs(his sperm count must be suffering terribly), we've pitted him in life-or-death battles without ever asking his opinion. And now, now the Pirate world has become aware of our influence, and is ready to fight back.

    The fortune lady is only using guybrush, because LeChuck's evil cannot be destroyed. So she is using Guybrush to make sure that the evil stays inside of LeChuck (so there won't be another repeat of "rthe pox"
  • edited November 2009
    I think Jacques the Monkey must have a huge part, one way or another. What he said to Morgan in the end (maybe to kill herself so that Guybrush could be saved or something?) has something to do with the whole Pirate Godness thingy.

    Still, explain me the picture on the Sixth Sense card. And the beast is hungry... I don't get the connection really, if there ever was one.

    The best theory so far for me is Voodoo Lady being, like, the Force is Star Wars. :) The keeper of balance or somesuch. Let Guybrush and LeChuck confront each other over and over again, no-one ever winning it permanently. Only that it seems there are powers beyond Voodoo Lady's abilities, too.

    No wonder why they're childless.

    MURRAY!

    Or, in all seriousness, Guybrush Threepwood is the culprit of all evil! How's that for a twist?

    I'm with you. The whole "feed the sponge" deal was pretty illogical for me to begin with, but "the sixth sense" made the least sense.
  • edited November 2009
    If I'm correct, feeding the sponge was a way to nourish it to grow, like a child needs food to become big. It wasn't that illogical, anyway.

    It's Nipperkin. Notice how he's suspiciously absent from Chapter 4, huh? Huh? And imagine all the news stories he could write after he unleashes an evil pirate god on the Caribbean? Right?

    It was mentioned that Nipperkin died when the Voodoo Shack went up in flame.

    A-HA! Exactly! And guess
    who ELSE died in Episode 4?!
    .

    ...

    It's really annoying when you start to realize that it's pretty likely that
    pretty much every death in the season has been placed in order to stock the afterlife with a reusable cast that have reusable models
    .

    It's Absolute Virtue, making a guest appearance from FFXI. What better form for a pirate god than something that is apparently "unkillable"?

    I'm gonna get flamed so bad for this one.....

    Developers are the villains.

    They make all you guys think there is a bigger, unraveled issue that is going on, to make you speculate on more detailed scenarios. But the real deal is, well,
    LeChuck tried to get his pox again and acted like a fellow of Guybrush, and after seeing Guybrush complete everything, he killed him. That's it. Done. Nothing more. Nothing else.

    Yeah, Telltale do that a lot :p

    I reckon the least likely is De Singe.

    I don't really believe that LeChuck is going to turn out to have been under some sort of enchantment the whole time, as that'd be a twist that would affect all the MI games, which apparently in EMI didn't go down so well when they tried to do that. I guess it's not impossible, but I'm doubting it. I'm fairly sure he really is evil.

    But there could be someone else behind it all too. Not sure about the Voodoo Lady - she could turn out to be evil, but that's another twist that affects all the games. I have a feeling she's up to something though.

    Morgan's another one that could be a bit evil, but then again she was really working for De Singe, and I don't think he'll turn out to be as villainous as he may have seemed.

    Murray certainly seems to think he is quite villainous! But he has yet to convince me :D

    Maybe it'll turn out to be De Cava. Perhaps. Could be. Not sure. But yeah. Just because he's a character that has been involved with the Voodoo Lady, and I'm suspicious she's up to something! Maybe De Cava has been doing something devious this whole time and the Voodoo Lady has been trying to stop him!

    She seems to be a Kreia-like character: cryptic, having her own view on good and evil.

    Lechuck being the ultimate evil is a bit overdone. The name of the ep just gives me the idea that Lechuck has just been the pawn/Avatar of the Pirate god and Guybrush fights the real god as the final climax to the series.
    Or the evilness of LOOM-loving made the LOOM Guy nuts. Ridiculous but would be a great callback that makes 0 sense!

    You beat me to it, that's exactly what I've been thinking. After all, she did say
    that she was going to "run that high-seas hussy through".

    I thought it was possible too. When Guybrush found Morgan dying, I immediately thought it was Elaine who was responsible. But then when you talk to Elaine later in the game, and tell her you think DeSinge did it, I thought she would have admitted to doing it at that point (after all, she is poxed). Either that, or she would have got defensive. Still, even though none of that happened I guess she could have done it.

    Or maybe Jacques killed Morgan!
