Portrait of Morgan LeFlay

MermaidMermaid
edited December 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
I didn't like Morgan in the beginning of Tales at all and remember wishing she would make a single-episode-appearance only. But as the story unfolded, I grew accustomed to her as the depth of her character was revealed. And though I was all "Guybrush, stick with Elaine!" throughout the entire time, I'm glad another woman made it into his adventures and into the world of Monkey Island.

Morgan's now all traileriffic, too:

    I can see where you're coming from. I hated the Barbershop quartet so much in CMI that they kept me from finishing the game at first. Then I got to the song. Now I love them.

    Wow, that is a really good composition. Wonderful work. It really illustrates the development that went into morgan.

    And really hammers home the point that characters always need to be developed. The more you know about who they are - you don't necessarily need to know anything about their parents, or their childhood or anything like that; just who they are and what they think and how they feel, why they develop if they develop at all; their depth, in other words - then a character becomes memorable. Telltale have gotten better at this. I'm looking forward to them improving even more.

    Nice video, Mermaid.

    Wow, amazing video!. It really portrays her evolution as a character. Part of me wishes that Guybrush had gotten together with her.

    I wasn't sure what to make of their relationship until she knocked him out on the Screaming Narwhal at the end of Lair. That's when I was sure they wouldn't. Morgan doesn't know what the sense of her life is yet (the Voodoo Lady takes advantage of that by giving her a new task).
    Morgan is afraid to show her weak side which includes admitting that she's actually in love with Guybrush, so for that reason alone things just wouldn't have worked out between them (Guybrush's clearly to dorky to get the signals) :D)

    I don't think it would have worked out either, but the way she reacted when she found out Elaine had gone
    evil
    Just made me feel sorry for her. She needs companionship.

    Companionship is what she's made for, but it frustrates Morgan that love won't work out for her unless she stops considering admitting her feelings to be an admittance of personal vulnerability. I think you can tell that she's been let down before from things like the tattoo with the name of her first love, which, obviously, turned out to be a "bad investment".

    Yep, just read it. Glad she likes it as well. ;-)

    I'm thinking of doing another one, but I'm lacking inspiration right now..
