Speaking of Tarot Cards...

The last constellation, seen on the Voodoo Lady's desk was:

Morgan - Death - LeChuck.

What do you make of this? No Guybrush there at all...

    The Voodoo Lady said something about Morgan choosing her own fate. Maybe that got her entangled in the whole LeChuck-Guybrush affair. And technically, it's Elaine and Morgan that killed him, even if Guybrush provided the trap, closing the rip in the reality.

    I know what it was but that doesn't explain the constellation of the Tarot Cards for me, really.

    Remember the formula used in chapter three when Guybrush
    possesed Voodoo Lady's body?

    It's the same sequence.
    PERSON - ACTION - RECEIVER
    Morgan - (death)Kills - LeChuck

    I agree with silverwolfpet, but I think its more than just a reference to what had happened. Instead, I think it means that Morgan is sort of taking over LeChuck's role. This seems to supported by the whole Ghost Pirate (Hunter) LeFlay thing.

    In real Tarot, Death means transformation. It can easily be interpreted as Morgan Transforms into LeChuck, thus taking his role. :)
    Cool fact: There are now 21 Tarot cards in ToMI. The Major cards in the Tarot Deck are also 21 (if I'm not mistaken).

    I'm more interested in the card near Guybrush's 'leftie' at 3:18 in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sYEjci2_eQ , anyone got a save close to the end, I only have the autosave... all the way back at getting the ingredients for the second voodoo spell.

    Unless the Voodoo Lady set up the cards that way and is messing with us all.
    I posted this elsewhere but I'll say it again: The voodoo lady is using/controlling Morgan.

    Does that somehow explain the strange grin on Morgan's face when LeChuck hissed at her "I'll be back for you, lass?"

    That's a Healer card.
    You can find all cards in a PDF in other thread.

    Maybe... :)
    But I'd really prefer the Voodoo Lady becoming LeVuckoo (TM) to Morgan becoming second LeChuck. I mean, the VL's got CANS!And she's lithe ;)

    I agree that the Voodoo Lady is controlling Morgan, but in the same way and for the same reasons she controlled LeChuck and controls Guybrush. See my post in another thread my ideas about this weird Monkey Island cosmology I've somehow decided upon.

    I'm guessing Morgan had to do a little "something extra" that we didn't see in order to get that cursed ghost cutlass from the Voodoo Lady. I'm guessing Morgan is just starting to go down a new path, not ending it with the delivery of LeChuck's essence to the Voodoo Lady. I'm just wondering if Morgan is aware of that fact or not?

    I completely forgot about the other cursed cutlass! Good call Lena!
