Telltale Games

Sir Craigius · 11/22/2009, 10:35 am

My recollection of my dream in the other thread got me thinking about what Elaine and Guybrush would be like as parents.

I imagine Guybrush as being a caring, but rather iresponsible parent, letting the kid get upto all kinds of mischief. Whereas Elaine would be stricter and definetely the one calling the shots.

But like I said earlier, if TT or Lucas ever went down this road, I think it would mark the final chapter in Monkey Island. Would be a pretty nice way to round it off if there was no more story to tell though.

Thoughts? Comments? Opinions?

Use...pliers...with...full diapers. --> That doesn't seem to work.

...and so doesn't the idea of the Threepwoods becoming parents.

But if I try to picture them as mom and dad I'd agree with what you wrote. Elaine would have to repeatedly tell Guybrush to "look after the baby" and he still would lose track of it.

<Use Baby Wipe with Baby>

"I don't wanna wipe that."

If a kid happens I would prefer the baby phase to be skipped entirely and just go from the walking-talking stage so he/she could be a useful character. Unless of course they want to make "throw baby" jokes.

Ok, that would be an option. Like in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull where Indy's son is already about 16 years old when he's introduced to the audience.

Still, I hardly see a chance for this to happen. After all, Guybrush would have to be the one who "takes care of the pregnancy" - Elaine's way too busy and emancipated for that.

PecanBlue · 11/22/2009, 11:53 am

Hey, you never know, unplanned things happen. Anyway, while I really, really doubt a kid would happen in-game, if it DID I'm sure it's easy to just skip the preggies stage by having the game take place some time later after the whole ordeal, even though I'm sure Elaine's mannerisms would have been funny to see.

I made a whole hypothetical kid with some friends seen here too, haha.

Gryffalio · 11/22/2009, 12:02 pm

Children wouldn't work for oh so many reasons. But what they could do, is have some kind of a time-warp thing like in the Mysts o'Time on Lucre Island in MI4, except a warp that lasted the entire series. Here you could have an older Guybrush and Elaine (I believe TT actually did this briefly for S&M?) and also Guybrush's kid, whose only slightly younger than Guybrush: awkward!

That would be a vaguely interesting concept, and one that could be "undone" by the end of a season.

I agree with your view on their dynamics as parents, though. I can't see Guybrush being responsible, but also I reckon he'd definitely care for the little kid.

Ooh how about this one... They don't know it, but Morgan La Flay is Guybrush's daughter from an affair with... Winslow?!

Well Arnold Schwarzeneggar managed tohave a baby in that film thing...

Epic Kiwi · 11/22/2009, 12:32 pm

This is totally what Guybrush would be like later in life

His son is probably a ninja or something, and Elaine would go off to form her own elite pirate crew and grow some manly muscles.

Actually, Guybrush could probably pull the "old man" thing off pretty well..

That is one of the coolest fan arts I've ever seen, lol. I'd totally play it.

Gibbeynator · 11/22/2009, 01:18 pm

Guybrush... Guybrush? GUYBRUSH!

Scrawffler · 11/22/2009, 01:20 pm

Doubt it would ever come into the canon series, but I bet it would make an awesome fan project. The idea of them being parents is really entertaining!

Need someone to make a point and click? Looks like a job for Silver and Majus!

BeeKay84 · 11/22/2009, 02:47 pm

I could never imagine Guybrush and Elaine as parents... until I read these fanfics:

The Second Element I
The Second Element II
The Second Element III(this one was never finished, unfortunately)
by a very talented author called Tyraa Rane

I recommend that y'all read them (but take your time, they're loooooong), they're so awesome. They take place one year after the events of EMI (only thing I don't like about the stories, too many EMI references, but oh well...), and them being parents absolutely works! I guess it's because they don't really get to do much parenting, because their daughter is separated from them, and both Guybrush and Elaine are turned into ghosts and don't age for like 17 years. So, they're still the same age as they were when they had her, while their daughter is already 17, when they're resurrected - very funny image.

So, I guess it would be possible to add a child to the whole story, if most of the early parenting years were skipped.

Use baby with hook hand
"I don't think he'd like that..."

Use baby with cannon
"Hmmmm... No."

I like this fanfic too!

In fact, Tyraa is rewriting it in her blog ^^

Mmm... the idea seems interesting and fun xD
A child with parents like them would be funny ^-^
I can imagine a little Guybrush or Elaine
Hehe xD
It would be so cute

Bye!

Hmm, I always thought that when the kid was little, inbetween useless baby and single-minded teen, Guybrush would probably get along with it really well, seeing as he's so much like a kid himself. xD Although I see Elaine getting along with them better once they reach the teen stage and get sick of their father.
