The title of Season Two...

[presidentmax]

Everybody keeps calling it Tales of Monkey Island season 2, am i the only one who thinks this is stupid?

I really hope they don't just go for that as the name and go for a whole new name.

What do you all think?

[spelling_nazi]First, that's not a question. It's not punctuated properly.[/spelling_nazi] Second, no, you're not the only one, though I'm fine with it if they directly follow the Tales storyline.

umm... lemme take a sec to find a previous thread on names. I had good ideas there.


edit: okay... so I found the other thread: http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/...ad.php?t=14627

Also you could call it:
Monkey Island 6: The Might of LeChuck's Big Evil Hat.

I think we only call it TMI Season 2, because we don't have a better name. It's simple and practical. You know, you hear TMI2 and you know exactly what people are refering to. Is it going to be the official name? I really, really doubt it. So relax.

[corruptbiggins]

I'm just going to consider any potential sequel as Monkey Island 6 until any official to the contrary is announced.

[Avistew]

Also, Tales is a vague enough wording that it would work fine as a wider title, with a subtitle for each season.

[shovell]

I don't mind what they call it as long as they make it

True true, season one was only one "tale."

[apenpaap]

IMO "Tales of Monkey Island Season 2" is a really silly (and not in a good and/or funny way) of calling it. It's Monkey Island 6.

[Remolay]

I'd be fine with the subtitle thing
Like Maybe:
Tales of Monkey Island: The Pox of LeChuck for the first one
and
Tales of Monkey Island: (insert Subtitle here, maybe The Secret Revealed)

Tales of Monkey Island Season 2: The Alternate Version of the Monkey Island Storyline if Curse of Monkey Island never happened and Ron Gilbert made Monkey Island 3, Now finally a reality after 20 years.

Longest name award received!

[Hayden]

Oh, I think I can beat you.

Tales of Monkey Island II: The Dangerous Journey to Mysterious Worlds Beyond the Edge of the Horizon - The Adventures of Morgan LeFlay, Reginald Van Winslow and Guybrush Threepwood aboard the Screaming Narwhal.

[Shale]

If they go with Tales of Monkey Island: Subtitle Here, then my best idea is Tales of Monkey Island: Bad Mojo.

Tales of Monkey Island 2: The Sixth Installment in the Canonical Monkey Island Storyline Which Does Not Follow Ron Gilbert's Monkey Island 3 Because The Curse of Monkey Island is the Only Monkey Island 3 and Even Ron Gilbert is Uninterested in Creating "His" Monkey Island 3 But Certain Monkey Island Fans Won't Just Let it Go

I win.

If we are to go with subtitles for each Season does that not make the Chapter/episode titles redundant? E.g. Tales of Monkey Island [name other than 'Season 2'] rise of the Pirate God.

I think seasonal names would be overly superfluous, it'd be like naming every season of your favourite t.v. show then having really quirky, apt names for each episode. I think eventually TTG would run out of impressive/captivating names.

Besides I don't mind "season 2" providing it's styilised differently to the standard MI logo. In the way that Lechuck's Revenge placed the "2".
At least the Tales season-by-season games add an interesting dimension to the Monkey Island franchise, adding an epic Tale between younger guybrush from EfMI and that of a prophetic Monkey Island 6.

I'm no LucasArts evangelist that prays that MI6 will come one day, but I would like to see a new direction after Tales for Guybrush. Perhaps LeChuck will
be finally defeated (even though I love LeChuck to bits - no pun intended) and that leads Guybrush onto new adventures/bad guys. I'd be happy with TTG making an MI6...
But I think I've offered to many tangeants for this thread. So whether to subtitle each Season individually in my opinion would clash with the Monkey Island praenomen and the episodic cognomen.

"More Tales of Monkey Island" seems too perfect to not use, in my opinion

[prizna]

No its going to be "Tales of Monkey Island 2: Voodoo Vengeance"

Shouldn't that be Tales of Monkey Island: Electric Voodooloo?

Tales of Monkey Island Season 2: The Sequel to the first Tales of Monkey Island which continues on the story of Voodoo Pirate Huntress Morgan LeFay and indeed does not continue upon the storyline outlined for Monkey Island 3, not to confuse with the Curse of Monkey Island, by Ron Gilbert in the Special Edition for Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge even if many fans cried out in agony to Telltale Games to do so.

Tales of Monkey Island 2: That's Stupid and You're Stupid and Yes I Have Stooped to Childish Insults

[meander]

I also do not mind what they call it, but I think that calling it season 2 may be confusing for new MI players, especially with the re-release of MI2 happening soon. However, I'm sure some bright spark at TTG will figure it out somehow.. after "season 2" is different from "monkey island 2".

If they make season 2, that is.

I hope they do
