Voodoo Lady is the real villian, not Lechuck

[Isaac Goodluck]

After seeing the intro of Siege of spinner cay I just keep thinking that The voodoo lady is the real villian all along, just pulling strings on Lechuck. here are some things to strengthen my theory:

*During the intro of chapter 2 of tales of monkey island the voodoo lady show tarotcards of the bad things happened guybrush, like it was she who decided what bad things were going to happen him, and in the end says "if he lives long enough... hehehehe.."

*Also, during the episode, LeChuck really seems like a good guy without the voodoo, His fight scene was AWSOME xD It could be that Lechuck was being controlled completely with the voodoo energies he obtained through big whoop, that maybe was the Voodoo ladys fault too.

* I think that during all of monkey island series she just pretended to help him like in the direction of the Lé Sponge el grande, the only thing that could defeat her and when its gone, she would rule the Carribean forever with her zombie pirate army.

* The last chapter is named "rise of the pirate god", might be the voodoo lady its refering to :P

*I think that its weird that shes at the frontpage of the website with guybrush, elaine and lechuck, she seems to a much minor character, unless shes the real villian

* The only one having used voodoo besides Lechuck in the series is the voodoo lady

* She didnt want to tell guybrush, when on Flotsam island if elaine was alright or not, she should obviously have powers for it.

* She is allways nearby helping guybrush and perhaps pulling the strings of the bad guys, like in the pirateship on plunder island in curse of monkey island and Booty island in escape from monkey island and flotsam island in tales of monkey island

part 2 of mah post

*After playing chapter 3, while possesing the voodoolady, you get to use tarotcards that can command everything, and the intro of chapter 2 and 3 she shows cards of the current "bad" events so shes behind it all!

*also during chapter 3, shes so angry when you play with the locket xD

I love twist endings, I really do, but Lechuck is pulling a fast one I think and is playing possum...

I dont think Lucas Arts would allow Telltale to make the Voodoo Lady a bad guy to be honest... I give you marks for being original though...

[coolsome]

it would explane why she told guybrush to find big whoop then scold him after

[Planeforger]

Plus, she gave Guybrush the cutlass which started this whole mess.

Eh, I don't know.
It looks like she might be playing a bigger part in this game than in the previous games, but we've already got plenty of possible Big Bads to choose from, so I don't really see her being evil.

*edit* Oh, and she supposedly killed that guy on the Isle of Ewe. Creepy.

Then again, the cutlass worked, she helped Guybrush get off Flotsam, and she set him on the right path to curing the pox - not to mention all of the times she helped him out in the previous games. So no, I don't think that she's all that bad.

Well that evil laugh was preeetty evil.

She had an evil laugh in the intro?

on chapter 2 when she shows the cards from that tresure bg and she laughs when she says guybrush might not survive morgans attack

Plus:
- She wants Cutlass with LeChuck essence back in E1.
- She looks annoyed \ scared when Guybrush tells that LeChuck turned human.
- She was never very helpful: SMI - tells Guybrush's fortune, LCR - sets him on search of cursed treasure, CMI - well, tells Guybrush where to go, but that's all, EMI - reveals instructions about constructing Ultimate Insult

also she sends guybrush to blood island thinking he will die

Wow, I must admit I thought this would be a very ridiculous theory, but it's very well thought out. There is a lot of evidence to support this and it does make for a great story and plot twist. I'm still hoping for LeChuck to be behind it all, but this is a great theory! Well done, you should ask Telltale for a job as a writer.

Yeah, but wouldn't an evil person hide that fact? She made it pretty obvious...

[Novotnus]

- She lies about her role in destruction of LeChuck - pirates on Scabb are led to belive that she destroyed GP LeChuck; in CMI she says she helped a lot and that's not true.
- By constructing Largo doll she caused resurrection of LeChuck. She might've know that this will happen, as Guybrush shows her the beard.
- It's strange that she's always on different island including unescapeable Flotsam - maybe there is more than one Voodoo Lady?

[feverfew]

I was under impression that in the Ep 2 intro, she was floating on water, sailing somewhere...

[wisp]

also, she was selling voodoo supplies to lechuck in mi2..

[coolsome]

and she had a voodoo doll of mort and let her voodoo kids hurt him

[Novotnus]

- When Guybrush asks about human LeChuck, she seems worried that he doesn't have any voodoo on him. It's strange, as without voodoo LeChuck is much less dangerous. Only one who might be worried is someone who used voodoo to control LeChuck
- Ron had something to do with Tales and we can never know what was his plan for Voodoo Lady - in LCR there are many clues about Voodoo Lady not beeing as good as she wants us to belive.

To be fair, some people can make you think that Yoshis' are the real bad guys. (They hurt innocent shy guys...) How do we know we're not reading too much into this? Are we confusion "Sketchy" with "EVIL"?

Aw, but where is fun in beeing rational? We have to do something waiting for Ch3 ; )

To be fair, he DOES "die" twice, but wakes up. Maybe she knew he would, just decided not to tell him.

Or maybe the fortune teller there was supposed to finish him off...
Maybe somebody didn't uphold their end of the bargain.

But seriously, the character I think is behind it all is that seagull that keeps following you around. Who would suspect him? I bet he's (or she's) teamed up with Jaque, who is secretly manipulating Marquis while De Singe thinks that he's manipulating Jaque.
