Nooooo! De Signe! :(
SPOILERS ALERT!
Was anyone else disappointed to see de Singe gone? He was one of the most ..original.. characters in Monkey Island in over a decade, and would've made an excellent addition to the series as a regular like the Threepwoods, LeChuck, Miss Voodoo, Stan and Murray.
The fact that he wasn't (or didn't think that he was) French only added to the potential for more hilarity
It was a serious letdown to see that annoying Morgan kept alive (when ironically her character would've been redeemed a lot much more if she stayed dead) and not de Singe who could've given old LeChuck a run for his doubloons if any of his plans succeeded, nevermind a much-needed contrast of "science" against all that voodoo that keeps coming up in the series.
I would rather be in dread of running into one of de Singe's labs again in a later game instead of having to see LeFlay's squeaking face one more time.
..besides, he reminded me of Dr. Fred Edison - where everything all began in the first place
if you know what I mean.

You meant: "I hated him" "In my opinion, he was annoying (and not in a good way)."
A lot of people think different about this, me included!
Everything I say in my posts is my own opinion, unless otherwise stated.
(this post should not need to exist)
Heh. Well, I actually thought Murray was pretty funny. :P
Honestly, I was more than happy to see De Singe gone. He was funny, I'll give him that, but he was definitely one of those villians you "love to hate".
I'm sure they'll come up with some other amusing jerk to replace him with someday.
As for Morgan, I was annoyed by her at first, but as the game went by I started liking her as she was in fact a sweet person. Personally I enjoyed when Elaine got jealous when she thought that Guybrush cheeted on her with Morgan, because I always thought Elaine took Guybrush for granted. Personally I hope she will return, maybe to help Guybrush a little.
As for Morgan, I felt she was a far more compelling character than De Singe. Morgan had conflict, Morgan actually brought some emotional weight to the game. De Singe was just an ass. He was an ass because the story needed an ass, but he was an ass just the same.
And really, "all that voodoo that keeps coming up"? Voodoo is a major element of the series. Monkey Island without voodoo is like Star Wars without the Force.
Yeah, shaking up the status quo can be a good thing, but not just for its own sake. They changed things up a little bit, but not too much, and I'm very happy with where the story was at the end.
But, you see, this is a fact!
Well, that's your opinion, anyway.
Yes, he was perfectly designed from a narrative point of view when he gets grinded up into french fairy dust. Best MI character ever, well written.
If everyone has the same opinion, does that make it fact?
de Signe actually represented an opposing element that could've balanced the Voodoo theme out rather nicely, otherwise it risks losing its coolness when just about everyone uses it to do everything (like the court summons.)
That's a matter of opinion...
I'm sure he's everywhere in the caribbean by now.
There's actually no "good" or "bad", "right" or wrong" in this world, remember.
*ahem*
"...Yes there are, you just never learned them."
ah.
...
wait, what??
Morgan was an awesome character. And hot. Morgan is hot.
Also, I thought the general consensus on the forums was that DeSinge was only slightly less annoying than the Soda Poppers.
Eeewwww. De Singe sprinkles!
(And Morgan's not alive...)
Where is there any evidence that De Singe is not really French?
De Singe says it when you ask why he isn't wearing a french beret insted of a turban
but he was less in your face then them
I suppose if you're into digital monkeys wearing makeup, then she's totally hot.
But Morgan is still hot.
By "wasn't half as cute as [...] Elaine," which version of which game? I admit Elaine from the VGA closeups in SoMI is also hot (though I just can't say which is better between VGA closeup SoMI Elaine and ToMI Morgan.)
But there's s a huge difference in details between those close ups! :eek:
How dare you, sir! To the field of honor!
banjos at dawn?
I choose the banjo.
-locks the gun pile in a chest, sticks the only key down his pants, picks up the banjo, and shreds-
And they say you never learn anything from adventure games.
This. He was like an annoying cartoon villain.
