Monkey Island Heardle #412 🔉🟥🟥🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️ #MonkeyIslandHeardle

The crime scene hadn't been picked quite clean: https://mixnmojo.com/news/Sam-and-Max-2s-grave-disturbed-again-stray-bone-fragments-collected

I just wanted to see how much you would waffle on to get the last word.

Not sure I follow this, but my understanding (from the plaque in ReMI) is that the "it's a theme park" was the "original" secret, and that basic idea was expanded on to become the nostalgic Boybrush explanation in ReMI.

If we accept that Guybrush was imagining effectively the whole game, it's not a stretch to think he might also have imagined the glowing eyes and Elaine's line on his way out of the park. I accept that the ending was likely intended to be taken literally, and that if there were a third game shortly after MI2 it likely would have elaborated on that and had Guybrush going in and out of the imaginary world. Could've been neat. The only thing it leaves me wondering is that if "the secret of monkey island" was that Guybrush was just a kid playing, why would Ron pretend it hadn't been revealed when MI2 had effectively revealed that. So I think the titular secret may have been something else altogether.
