As far as I can see it's literally giving the franchise new life...

NOOOOOO!!!! Guybrush is merely a child himself. Getting married wasn't exactly a good idea in the first place, but children? What for? OK, so in an action game you need someone to save, but this is an adventure game: What the hell would you do with them? Use diaper with son?

Well I don't want to always give a serious answer but I guess you're some what right unless it's like a genius baby or something that can solve puzzles.

Guybrush is too much of a kid himself to lug around another one, he'd just mature with the task or something equally horrible. I could see him pestered by a younger version of himself though, like in The Kid with Bruce Willis. Or even better, I could see him having to look after a youthified LeChuck.

On that note I thought it was pretty damn funny in Mi-4 when he got a hold of the Lechuck and Guybrush puppets. The scene where they start arguing was one of the funnest moments in Monkey Island 4. Good stuff really, that game has problems but its humor is under rated. Anyways if done right it could work, a youthified Lechuck. Sort of abstract but that's often a good thing for comedic flavor.

Guybrush doesn't have sex.

He doesn't know what he's missing and I want him to tell me what it is!

I can't think of anything I would hate more.

No, man. It's like Shia leBeouf in Indy 4 or Jack Ryan, jr. And I hope that Monkey Island never gets as stale as the Jack Ryan stories did.

(Although they weren't that great to begin with.)

LennieMelvin · 09/13/2009, 07:18 am

I've read too many fan fictions with Guybrush's children present that the very concept now gives me nightmares

Olaus Petrus · 09/13/2009, 07:23 am

Yes. Absolutely fantastic idea. I want to see Monkey Island 6: The Son of Guybrush Threepwood, where LeChuck has kidnapped both Guybrush and Elaine and our 5 year old hero (who is surprisingly smart and can outwit adults) goes to rescue.

I don't know if that was sarcasm but I actually like your idea. I think it already has a comical subtext to begin with. Though I don't know if we could call it Monkey Island 6 before a few tweaks were made.

Monkey Island is not a comedy it is a game with a few jokes thrown in. No children. Ever.

All monkey islands are comedies, you're absurd. No offense, don't take this too personally, I hardly know you...

You're out to lunch...being fired out of a cannon to land on monkey island.
Lechuck marrying a Monkey...
million other unmentionable examples
Monkey islands are constant comedic adventure games.

Games like Fate of Atlantis or Simon the Sorcerer are games with some comedy thrown in but not Monkey Island.

I can't think of a better way to kill the series.
