As a non native English speaker, I'm not sure about the difference between ape and monkey. Could you clarify it for me? Couldn't it be The Planet of the Monkeys and Ape Island? Nah, it wouldn't sound good in either case.
By the way, in spanish we only have the word sirena for both sirens and mermaids.
On a semi-related, but possibly off-topic note, are there separate words for "monkey" and "ape" in French, or are they both referred to as "les singes?" It seems like that would get really confusing... Or do you differentiate between the two by saying something like "le singe avec queue" and "le singe sans queue?"
Apes in french are called "Anthropoïdes" or "Hominoïdés". No wonder we prefer to just call them "monkey" most of the time ^^
Maybe he was rescued by the merfolk after Guybrush forgot him inside the Rollercoaster of Death...
Could well be the case:)
Also note
the carefully plotted out map underneath the manatee. Seems like the work of either a certain cartographer or a treasure hunter/explorer. Could be either!

Yep we usually only say "singe", if we want to get more precise we'll either say the actual species' name or resort to those complicated scientific words.
Just like mermaids and sirens, i don't think it's such an issue for translations purposes, as context usually makes up for the lack of precision, it just gets us confused about the differences between the english words mostly
That being said, "Lîle aux singe" kinda sucks as a title :eek: (they didn't translate the older games' titltes, thankully, but did when refering to the island)
With the exception on the Barbary Macaque? (The monkeys on the Rock of Gibraltar) That is a tailless monkey IIRC.
Exception to every rule!
(Gibbons with no teeth are apes )
Of course I believe you are correct!
As regards Chapter 2, that art is seriously cool-looking! Looks a lil darker too which could be interesting...
I guess the merpeople are the Vaycaylians? And maybe our mighty pirate hero will be able to talk to them with the flowers? Meaning a puzzle to steal the flower from Elaine after she and Guybrush have had a fight over her accepting it from LeChuck (once he escapes from mystery woman?).... hmm.. I bet it will be more complex than that
Was the giant monkey head build by mermaids? What is the governor hiding? Island 51? Atlantis? Is Monkey island a landing pad of the Anchients? Is that Stan's face on Mars? Find out in the next episode of TMI! :P

Everyday you learn something new. I even learnt English playing The Secret of Monkay Island! :-) And now I learn something in MI forum. MI should be declared an edutainment game!
ummm people talking about the hut picture being a possible return for wally (because of the maps in it), ...
didnt we already learn in chapter 1 that stans latest money maker was selling maps....??
just a thought.

Interesting thought, but that location doesn't appear particularly stan-ish. The map seems more like something someone is using than something that's on sale.

True, but we also learnt that Stan had been selling those nifty palm sized bombs as well.
Unless he's selling a multitude of different things that tie in with each other in some way (Stan's Previously Owned Pirate Wares perhaps?) I don't think we've seen what Stan has to offer in TOMI.

Agreed. Stan would be on a well populated island with his neon sign flashing above his place:D
Anyway it could all easily be explained away by saying that the inhabitant of the shack is looking for treasure, trying to escape the island etc.
I just think it'd be a nice way of bringing Wally back:)
My guess is that this shack-thing belongs to Coronado da Cava. Voodoo Lady mentioned last seeing him there, and artwork looks uncannily similar to those ruins on two north-west islands (probably, they're Jerkbait Islands).
As far as we know, it may be a deserted mermaid town.

By the way, I always understood the voodoo kids mentionned in Curse of Monkey Island were the Voodoo Lady's children (mainly because she offers to show pictures of them to Guybrush, something you usually don't do if the kids are someone else's children). If this is the case, could Coronado be the father ?
Does anyone else get the feeling we're moving away from the secrets of the monkeys in TMI and heading more into the territory of the secrets of the mermen?
Also, for those who are interested, the new plot summary for episode 2 has been posted in the "Tales" section of the website.
Guybrush's adventures continue on the high seas as pox-plagued pirates lay siege to the innocent Mer-People. In between defending the Mer-People and dodging the persistent pirate hunter hot on his trail, Guybrush manages to catch up to his beloved wife and despised arch-nemesis -- but their reunion is short-lived. Now Guybrush must focus on eradicating the Pox of LeChuck before more harm can be done. And as the Mighty Pirate draws closer to a cure, the waters will only grow murkier in this thrilling chapter of the epic saga.
I must say, that doesn't look like Kate at all.
I'll still not rule it out though!
I guess...it has been a few years right?!
Must be Kate. Yep.
*nods*

So apes are things like humans, chimps, orangutans and bonobos, and monkeys include spider monkeys and tamarinds and all that.
Monkeys = Monos

Hmm,
Edit: Well...3 anyway:o

I'm probably reading too much into it but I hope

you can even see the Vaycaylian City concept art on one of the islands in the north-west!:)
BTW, there was never a word about MerMAIDS?
They were also thought to be the basis for mermaid legends. And I see a manatee in the hut concept art...
Cool, thanks for making it clear to me. :-D

Correct. These aren't spoilers as such, seeing as the Pillars and Voodoo Lady have already mentioned the Veycayan civilization.

You mean... sea monkeys?
More likely Ocean Chimps.

Anything else out there for episode 2?
Just that one bit of concept art and one other AFIAK.

I can not for the life of me figure out who this could be. It's obviously a woman though. The face resembles Carla's, but I still think it's Kate.
Hey! The LOOM seagull!
Bring on August 20 (21st for me :P )
I'll still not rule it out though!
