Episode 4 Speculation "The Trail and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood"
Ok, everybody. It's been alittle since the release of the third chapter. Most of us by now are through the game, and starting to wonder. What do we have out there for ideas on what is going to happen?

Stan will be GT lawyer.
He'll lose.
GT will be "executed" and/or needs to escape.
OR
The Pyrite Parrot will be executed. (Croooak! I'm Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate!)
Also: We'd see how Flotsam and the locals changed due to the Pox. I also espect McGillicutty to be back.
Guybrush will lose but somehow be executed a la CMI where he "dies" but isnt really dead or escapes JUST in the nick of time, and then I think we will also see LeChuck's plan finally or whoever the pirate god might end up being, and the episode will end with us going to a new (or returning from an old game, MI perhaps) location for the final chapter
That would be a very cheap way to make him evil again. It's sort of the easy way out in making him evil again. I would much more prefer it if he was actually behind everything and has a master plan. Everything he was doing in the game was part of sinister plot.
After all, the synopsis of the game makes mention of an insidious plot and it doesn't seem to be connected to De Singe as he just wants Guybrush to prefect his elixir. That would only leave LeChuck to be behind this insidious plot, it's about time LeChuck made an ingenious plan that swoops over everyone's heads until the right moment.
Yes i thought the same. Well, charges there are many, but who brings him to trial?
I belive maybe DeSinge cant just kill Gybrush and open him up to start his experiments, so first he needs to make him executed (legally) so then he can start experimenting. There sholudnt be any problem if a doctor wants to take the dead body of an executed prisioner to experiment.
Now another question that i have is: now that Guybrush is cured from the pox, would he be of any use to DeSinge? Uhm....
Maybe.
No?
>.<
I actually like this idea. It's very unique. I hadn't considered we'd be playing as the hand kind of like Thing in Addam's Family. I like it.
Could Stan be a lawyer? Possibly, and it would be great to see him back.
As others have said, Flotsam by night could be very atmostpheric.
Seeing the interior of the bar would be great, but Im not sure there could be enough unique characters to make it feel truely like a pirate bar.
But when Guybrush is sentenced to death and about to be executed, I'm sure there will be a big rescued-in-the-last-second-by-someone-surprise in the end. And that someone could be...
...Elaine?
...Morgan?
...LeChuck?
...or someone completely different?
And then, Guybrush will escape to.... Monkey Island? Would be great to get back there for the fifth chapter.
Personally, I hope we don't go back to Monkey Island and feel 99% sure we won't.
I think the Vacaylians might be brought back for the fourth or fifth episode, but either in defense of GT or not I'm not sure...
Oh, and we're bound to end up on the Rock of Gelato at some point, possibly in the execution part of the game (if not the fifth episode). Oh, and there's bound to be something involving the monkies of Montevideo and their swordfighting prowess.
I'd say it's a bit too Red vs. Blue. And we all know how well the coming-back-as-a-ghost storyline worked out for them. :rolleyes:
It would be different to either of those. In Sam and Max it was pretty much just a joke (like everything in that series), and... well, Red vs Blue is just a totally different style of humour.
Guybrush coming back as a ghost pirate would be totally in keeping with the MI universe, and I know they can do it right. Mark my words, I think when TTG decided to name the episode 'The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood' they meant it.
@SurplusGamer: Guybrush as a ghost/zombie pirate would very well go along with the MI universe, I give you that. I even read a fanfic once where something like that happened, and it worked out pretty well (and he was brought back to life eventually). But it wouldn't go with the LucasArts or Telltale Games universe if the main character got killed, would it?
Besides, Guybrush simply doesn't deserve being turned into some kind of an undead zombie, after he was cured from the pox...
I haven't seen such claim confirmed either, but since Stan has been in every other MI game, and TTG was said to respect the traditions, I see no reason why he wouldn't be in either future chapter.
I don't know, I think that would take LeChuck a little too far away from his roots. I love that his character is finally getting a new side to him, but I think him sacrificing his humanity for Guybrush is taking it a little too far. As plausible as it may seem, I can never wrap my head around the idea that LeChuck is truly a nice guy. I can accept him pretending to be nice and is up to something evil, but him going to the extreme to save a former, or perhaps not depending on his real motives, arch enemy just seems a little too out of character.
ok, thats kool. wasnt sure if i missed some anousment.
I actually wondered about that myself. As soon as he turned human, I thought, "well, he's done that before." I guess we'll have to wait and see...but that would be an interesting plot development. I like the idea of LeChuck being behind it all along. He really is a pretty smart bad guy, despite the fact that he's been defeated 4 times already
Aw... maybe I'm just a sucker for a bad boy turned good, but I want to trust LeChuck! He's so lovably inept without the voodoo zombie thing going on.
Another idea: Maybe the execution is actually a voodoo ritual to expel Guybrush's soul from his body so LeChuck can steal it... or maybe I've been reading On Stranger Tides too much.
I totally need to reread On Stranger Tides. I remember loving the book when I read it years ago. Blackbeard puppet, as I recall? Ha!
Anyway - I think that Guybrush is going to die and become the risen pirate god. That'll make him a truly mighty pirate! Although, I'm curious to see how they'll resurrect him as a human in the end. Can't have a Monkey Island game without Guybrush still being goofy in the end.
As for the next chapter, I'm thinking this is going to be a gathering of all of Guybrush's enemies that he's made so far in the last 3 chapters and they'll all be testifying against him a la Seinfeld.
I don't know.
Morgan brings the captive Threepwood back to Flotsam, but in an effort to stop (or at least delay) the dissecting, says she's taking him in for his pirate reward instead. Guybrush goes to jail, safe from the Marquis De Nutcase (as he fondly calls him).
Then the case opens, with Guybrush's many cases of property damage, disturbing the peace, rigging public events (an example of all 3 would be him failing the pirates test in MI4 to get the dunce hat, pulling the fire alarm on the side of the school and using said dunce hat to cheat in a diving competition) and his many many MANY kleptomaniac-styled robberies.
By the end of it, his own lawyer Stan would probably jump sides, remembering out loud when Guybrush used a stolen note of credit to buy (and sink) a ship, as well as locking him in a coffin, Elaine and LeChuck would have arrived to drop off the last of the monkeys, Morgan would realise that while Threepwood isnt a buccanereíng, corsairing cut-throating blood-thristy pirate, his own unique style still makes him a "Mighty Pirate™" and Winslow would be more harm than help when the pox (still uncured as the sponge would be exhibit number 3, unique artifact carelessly stolen by the defendant) still hasn't cured him. Our boy Guybrush is sentanced to the gallows.
The night before, the Marquis would perhaps try to free Threepwood for his experiments, meeting up with Elaine who wants to free him (maybe with a good LeChuck) and a small argument starts, before Morgan LeFlay sneaks in to extract Guybrush Threepwood, (admitidly) Mighty Pirate™, before Van Winslow stumbles onto the scene, remembering a similiar tale where he tried to rescue a former crewmate and meeting a whole cast of others (who broke down into petty arguing) before a poxly outburst causes enough of a disturbance to have them all locked up.
And I reckon they'll watch from cells as Guybrush, "Can't we talk this over?" Threepwood has his neck in the noose and the words "To be Concluded in Part 5 etc etc".. and I dunno.. maybe the Voodoo Lady would magic him out of it.. Im guessing number FOUR, not five.

And Murray! GT's head talking to Murray.
Er, I mean. Violence is not the answer! (Es ist nur die Lösung.)
