Bah Humbug.
LeChuck would never want Morgan..
Although Morgan and LeChuck would make an awesome pairing.

I'm not too sure about this anymore. Him falling in love with some other woman would free the plot from the neverending "LeChuck-after-Elaine" subject- Plus, I wonder whether that "Le" in "LeChuck" and "LeFlay" is a coincidental commonness?

I agree with your statement.
It's been the staple of the Monkey Island series since the beginning.
I was a bit worried when they de-voodoo'd LeChuck, to be honest I hope he gets re-voodoo'd by the end..
However your, Le note is quite interesting.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I like the human LeChuck as most of the people in here do but I really want him to have an evil master plan that involves eliminating Guybrush and winning Elaine for himself - at least for one more time. ;-)

Smashman2004 · 10/12/2009, 01:05 pm

It a requirement of the Monkey Island series!
Much like Monkey Island its self, which appears to be lacking at the moment!

Well, when Guybrush first meet LeChuck on Spoon Isle in episode 2, Lechuck is saying "Go and write with the shingle, the clam has almost grown feet." to a monkey, while LeChuck has a pretty evil facial expression, before he notices Guybrush and goes all nice.

I'm pretty sure LeChuck has something fishy going on.

GaryCXJk · 10/12/2009, 03:34 pm

I think Elaine should just ditch Guybrush for Morgan LeFlay, and I'm pretty sure Winslow is already smitten with LeChuck.

Captain Mickey · 10/12/2009, 04:10 pm

All the way for Elaine! Let's look at it this way: While Elaine did sucker punch Guybrush, Morgan hacked off his hand clean off, which in turn worried Elaine (and of course question the whereabouts of his wedding ring).

Even after punching him in the jaw, making him hang over a pit holding a heavy treasure chest to his supposed demise, and sending him off to do silly errands, Elaine loves Guybrush where as Morgan (and don't get me wrong, I think she is a very cool new character) pretty much dropped all enthusiasm when she sees Guybrush negotiating as oppose to hacking and slashing the pirates in Chap. 3. I did feel bad for Morgan when she was hitting on Guybrush and he just brushed her off like it was nothing....but I think that just proves his loyalty to Elaine, and also Elaine got pretty P.Oed at Lechuck when he took his time and she wanted to go quickly to Guybrush. And this is just a fan's perspective, but I think Elaine purposely didn't go with Guybrush because she fears that because she has the pox (her not being aware Guybrush has it as well) she would harm the one person she cares about most.

....But yeah, I'm all for Elaine.

hellary · 10/12/2009, 04:48 pm

Maybe Telltale should just program in multiple ending scenarios so as to please everyone.

I know it'll end up being Elaine but I can still wish otherwise. I wouldn't want to see Morgan broken hearted again.

LowMoralFiber · 10/12/2009, 05:23 pm

The case for Morgan:
Telltale has been doing a lot more work to endear Morgan as a character and a love interest for Guybrush to the players then they have for Elaine, and in Ron Gilbert's interpretation of Elaine's character their relationship would never have resulted in her and Guybrush being married. That and Elaine's character has become much less dynamic since Curse...

The case for Elaine:
She's been Guybrush's lawfully wedded wife for two games now! Breaking them up would cast a pall over the previous two MI games (especially Curse) and the only way it would work would be for Elaine to leave Guybrush, since Guybrush leaving Elaine would be pretty damn out of character!

Questions, questions...

gachupian · 10/12/2009, 06:32 pm

Morgan i way hoter than elaine

MusicallyInspired · 10/12/2009, 07:07 pm

Male. Chose Morgan. It's different and would be a fresh switch up for the series.

Unless TTG comes up with a way to make us/me want Elaine again. Or at least make it acceptable to us/me by the end of the game to have Elaine back with Guybrush (or stay with Guybrush, depending on how you look at it).

**puzzlebox** · 10/12/2009, 11:42 pm

Looks like the theory was pretty much on the mark! Updated the original post with results so far. Thanks for all the responses!

Very well said. I couldn't have done it any better and I fully agree.

punkmario · 10/13/2009, 02:48 am

If youd asked me this about a week before episode 3 came out, i would have said hed stick with elaine, seeing as my girlfriend at the time looked like elaine and for a joke i used to call her plundy bunny, well....that bitch up and cheated on me. so yknow what Guybrush, go plough that morgan chick, hell of a set on her!

And in my humble opinion, Elaine does love Guybrush (though maybe not as much as he loves her). Would she have been worried sick about him after the explosion on her ship, or would she have been mad at him for losing his wedding ring (along with his hand), if she didn't love him?

oooh so freedom of speech. I guess i don't have it cause i cant even express my opinion.

All joking aside some people here may not have freedom of speech.... I.E. people from China do not get to view youtube videos they are blocked by their government.

dahoughtonuk · 10/14/2009, 02:40 am

For me it's always been about how they're acting. Guybrush is loyal to Elaine which is definelty good. Now an exotic young girl, who reminds him of the woman he fell in love with appears, and actually has interest in him. Is Guybrush attracted? Certainly. In love? Certainly not.

Elaine does care for Guybrush, but it seems weird to yell at someone for losing a wedding ring when the bigger problem is he lost a hand and then hand your ring back. We're starting to wonder what type of love she has for Guybrush. She's worried, yes, but it's looking less like a wife and more like a mother or big sis.

Morgan's downside is her obsessiveness, and mood swings. To be fair we've seen a lot of her character. We have seen her already deal with a false image she had.

If I voted, my bet at the moment would be neither. Morgan needs to face a bit more of herself, and Elaine needs to show plainly even if subtly that not only does she love Guybrush, she is in love with him.

You know this explains the neccessity for 'Execution of Guybrush Threepwood'. Something to get past Elaine's reserve perhaps.

Me, I want Guybrush to win.

Mermaid · 10/14/2009, 04:54 am

Well put dahoughtonuk! Really well put!

shref · 10/14/2009, 05:08 am

depends if she actually starts cheating on him with lechuck or not. if so, drop her and get some better booty, aka morgan
