The Siege of Spinner Cay - Thoughts, Hopes and Predictions (Spoliers)
With ToMI Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay just round the corner (Perhaps a reasonably large corner that may take a few weeks to navigate round) - What are your thoughts? What do you hope for? What do you predict is in store for our hapless hero?
In this interview, Dan Conners (TTG CEO) gives us some interesting clues...
What do you think about "The fact that LeChuck is actually quite a nice guy"? I love this twist but how is it going down with the "LeChuck must be really scary" crew?
I'm not sure "a bunch of island hopping in this adventure" was referring to the season or the episode, but the ideas of seeing multiple islands in one chapter would be great, if a little unrealistic?
I love the idea of a section being just on the ship, SoMI style - although in confined areas puzzles do tend to get easier.
Of course, there are multiple threads about the mystery swordswoman at the end of Ep1, but I'm excited how this will fit into the story, whoever it is.
Thoughts?

Well, obviously something's going on with human LeChuck. He seems to be getting along with Elaine a little bit too well. The fact that LeChuck is actually quite a nice guy apparently is going to be a big part of the next episode. At the same time the pox is continuing to affect Guybrush, so he's getting a little bit more zombie-ish. He's prone to outbreaks of getting angry and things like that. So there's going to be some character development that will be real interesting for people to see.
They're off at sea and they do a bunch of island hopping in this adventure. Going around to different islands and exploring more of the area that is the series of islands that Guybrush lives on. There's a lot on the ship, a lot with Winslow, and you get to find out who is the one that puts the sword to his throat at the end of the last episode. Much is revealed, new relationships are established and the affect of the pox starts showing itself.

The actual quote is "LeChuck is actually quite a nice guy apparently", so I have confidence there will be a twist at some point
While I hope the person with the sword is someone we already know, I don't think it will be someone we know, but a completely new character.
But it seems as if the plot is getting darker to some degree already, with Guybrush getting more zombie-fied.
So at some point you'll have to sit down and spin around :eek:
Yeah, LeChuck may be acting nice, but he probably still has very sinister intentions in mind. We might not find in the next episode but I'm sure LeChuck has something terrible planned. Also remember, that this series is said to have betrayals. If Guybrush actually works with LeChuck, LeChuck may eventually reveal his true hand and betray him. I think he might use Guybrush to obtain his own ends, he has to notice by now that Guybrush is actually a pretty intelligent if not lucky guy. Why not use that to his advantage?
I don't know, I quite like the theory that the pox is everything that made Lechuck evil. Thinking of it as all the nastiness sucked out of him and infecting the Caribbean.
Either's possible really, depends where they're going with it:D
As for my hopes and predictions:
Hoping for possible Wally return for the episode (but not banking on it)
- Maybe Stan's return?
I'm also hoping for some epic music from Michael Land and awesome scenes as Guybrush becomes more and more zombie-fied.That'd be cool:cool:
I also hope to see some
I also hope that the
...I really want to see interludes featuring Elaine and LeChuck in this episode, leading up to Guybrush getting aboard the ship for the finale, then Episode Three beginning with that exchange...
- those white flowers will be important - Voodoo Lady's little spiel about them was interesting in Narwhal, and wasn't it the same type as LeChuck gave to Elaine?
I hope we get to learn more about the Vaycaylians, but also hope that they're not standard Disney merpeople. Something a bit edgier would be cool.
I can imagine a scene (maybe in Siege of Spinner Cay, maybe later) where Elaine is confronted with Guybrush-acting-evil-because-of-the-pox and "good" LeChuck - and somehow you have to convince her the real Guybrush is still there... or maybe she'll see Guybrush with mystery lady and assume the worst...
Please don´t screw up the merpeople, i fear that they won´t fit into the Monkey Island Universe.
Could he, Morgan, be she, Morgan?
Based off that, I think LeChuck may seem nice, but still has a very sinister agenda. Based off the bit Guybrush said, I think LeChuck has a very clever plan in mind that will swoop over all heads until the last chapter.
yeah when i first heard the name morgan in the game i intantly thought of a woman because the only morgan i know is a girl
I wonder about this Leviathan in E3...
What about Morgan Freeman?
Interesting... I hadn't thought about it like that... makes perfect sense.
I hope that's not it. Two shipwrecks in one season would seem really repetitive.
I think there will be a certain amount of "Have to get off this island!" for one reason or another, just like the other games.
can't get used to the fact that lechuck may be a good guy... I want the evil zombified lechuck back ..lol
Anyway I am sure he has a sinister plan so he may appear nice but actually isn't.
As a complete guess (obviously) I could see Guybrush being taken completely by the pox right at the very discovery of La Esponja Grande, turning him against the very idea of curing himself and the Caribbean.
Then good Lechuck...activates?...activates the Voodoo Sponge and somehow in turn absorbs all the pox back into himself.
Then you get the usual show down between Guybrush and Lechuck.
I'm probably waaaaaaaay off the mark considering i've not even taken into account the final episode title "Rise of the Pirate God" but i've still had fun speculating:p
Elaine maybe? Perhaps for good?
Oh, and hello everyone!
It is just for the series I bet. When Guybrush get's rid of the pox I bet Le Chuck will inervertently get it back.
Oh and I bet upon giving Esponge the pox it turns into a pirate god or something.
Could LeChuck be the friend?
Unlikely but not outside the realms of possibility:p
Here's an idea: since LeChuck first died while trying to court Elaine (before SMI), I've always though that the only way he could actually 'drop dead' for good was if he actually married Elaine. Throughout the games, he's always tried to get her to love him; how ironic if that was the only thing that could undo him for good. Just a wee theory.
I reckon we are going to see what appears to be Elaine falling for LeChuck, even if it is just Guybrush misinterpreting what he's seeing or taking it out of context, though I actually hope Elaine does fall in love with LeChuck, as it would shake things up a bit and everyone would guess the truth otherwise.
Well, no, since LeChuck (or anyone for that matter) hadn't even heard of Guybrush before SMI, so he died before even meeting him.
I like this idea of uninished buiseness leading LeChuck to drop dead once and for all as soon as he finally gets married. Hell, i like it A LOT. I could even see it at being the actual secret of monkey island if done right.
But...
I higly doubt that's going to happen in tales. This would just end the storyline once and for all.. No more LeChuck = No more reason for guybrush to keep trying to kill again, right ?
I don't know if Telltale plans of doing other seasons or not, but it seems unlikeley they'd end the series so drastically.
If so, he does seem to take the whole thing with a pinch of salt, as if it is a rumour / myth.
But I still think
Not heard that one yet! Seems unlikey IMO, a pirate-hunting pirate! Would be fun though.
(Also, do you need spoiler tags in a thread that has spoilers in the title? Especially for pure speculation - not a dig, just curious)
The Secret being that all of Elaine's husbands are destined to die after marrying her and die an old spinster? Could be humourous, but as you said they are unlikely to do that, though I do hope that if the MI series carries on for any length of time that LeChuck isn't always in it, otherwise it could end up like the Legend of Zelda series (don green costume, get big sword, save princess from evil wizard guy). Heh, if they do break up Guybrush and Elaine we could end up with her as the bad guy in one! :eek:
Well i was more thinkin of something like "just let him marry her and the bastard will drop".
Not saying that's it, but it would make for a fun twist indeed (having bothered so much in SMI to learn that not only Elaine could handle herself, but also that just letting him marry her would have actually gotten you both rid of him).
