Murray was first introduced in CMI, so he's not been there all the way.
Stan, as annoying as he is, I kind of enjoy him. And Murray is awesome.
Back to the topic, I don't think the trio would make any appearance. Maybe one of them, but everyone? Nah. They came and they went.
Murray's been confirmed already. I love him though, so it's all cool.
And if they contributed to the story? If they were actually a part of it?
(Well, Stan not so much. He's always an element in some larger puzzle, never part of the story.)
No. It's usually a bad idea to bring someone back when there's no reason too (and so far ToMI story doesn't show at least a single reason to bring the trio back), especially on fans' demand. It's not the matter of contribution to the story, but of the story's logic.
Stan kinda became a running gag in the games, just as "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" and things like that, something that's in every MI game, so I don't really have anything against him (and with him it doesn't really matter how, where, or why he started some new business, he was making laminated business cards in a coffin, for crying out loud). More than that, I will be surprised (though not frustrated) if he will be left out of the game. But I doubt barber trio would do any good. Heck, I'm not even sure that Murray would be in his place (and, let's face it, although I did enjoy EfMI pretty much, and loved dialoge with Murray in that game, he WAS out of place there. Heck, he was out of place in the second half of CMI). So, it's kinda a hard thing to think about, actually...
I WOULD like to see Herman Toothrot/H.T. Marley and Marley Family Lawyers in Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood, though. I mean, H.T. being Elaine's grandfather and Guybrush being a part of Marley family, it would be logical for them to appear. Besides, the Lawyers have yet unopened potential (while barbers don't really have much of it left, considering how much time we've spent with them and little with those lawyers), and I love their music theme from EfMI.
Looking back at the older games, the only characters who are in multiple games are the core characters (Guybrush, Elaine, LeChuck) and a few other secondary ones (Voodoo Lady, Stan, Herman...maybe even Wally, Murray and the SOMI crew, if they count).
So the majority of characters that you meet in Monkey Island games are new and interesting - I don't see why Tales should be any different.
If not, there are references to two of them in chapter 1. If you show the Morgan LeFlay leaflet to Nipperkin, he says that some say he's a red-bearded giant, and some a peg-legged midget.
Might not be a reference to them, but to put two members from the same crew into the same sentence like that...
I'd love to see Marley's Lawyers. It just makes so much sense for them to be on the trial. Plus the three of them use pretty much the same model. :P
Someone in another thread had the brilliant idea of using Stan for Guybrush's defence. He's the only one I see being incompentent enough to lose the case without losing face (much like Lionel Hutz in the Simpsons).
I agree, that would be some pretty cool twist on the character
Hehe, I think it might have been me.
The men of low moral fiber on theother hand... what happened to them after MI2????
To be honest, I, personally, couldn't care less about them. It was fun to talk with them in MI1, meeting for the first time and such (plus rum and jam keg talk
"A pirate I was meant to be..."
The theatre had a pretty big part in CMI, I recall. If a developer made it a more integral part, it would be going down a similar route to EMI, which most agree is wrong.
Sorry but that would suit Sam & Max much better than Monkey Island
Are you talking about the Carnival in Hit the Road?
I wasn't thinking of that specifically at the time (meant the atmosphere and humour, where it's a fucked-up modern theme park type thing) but now that you mention it, something similar has been done, just not by TellTale.
