Telltale Games

I don't think TMI should necessarily be the last one - what they shouldn't do is exploit it and overexpose it. A two or three year gap between a second season would be beneficial in helping to not turn the series stale. Between the wait in the gap you could remake MI2.

LucasArts really ought to re-release the other games they're not probably planning on updating like 3 and 4 or even patch them so they can run on modern systems.

A darker Monkey Island?

Hmmmmmmmm... No.

I can't really see it working. Weren't MI2 and MI3 dark enough? But Tim Burton on MI?

Hmmmmmmmm... No.

"Cartoonish" is not the opposite of dark. Case in point: MI2 has a cartoonish art style.

Besides, how can you ask for a successor to TMI to be darker in tone than TMI when you haven't even played the game you're using as a comparison case? I don't trust your judgment of the game's tone given how little of it anyone has seen.

The question is more complicated than a person might think, because there are multiple ways for a story to be darker. Does the overall plot become darker? Does Threepwood become a more serious character? Or will there be dark side stories like the Goodsoup family?

It all depends on how it's handled, but I'd ultimately like to see it remain cartoony. For the most part.

I always complained about what you're saying, and went into lots of discussions in these forums.
With TOMI, I think the dark side of the series has been focused again, I really couldn't be happier. LeChuck feels menacing and dangerous again with voodoo rites. You can feel to be unsafe. It didn't happen since MI2. Good times.
