Earl Born would have been great on one hand. But in the end … I’m not completely sure it would have been the perfect match for this LeChuck. I really love the look this time and can very well imagine a much more frightening voice this time. Boen’s always had much energy, it was very theatrical, almost campy (in a good way!). And although I could listen to him talk forever, I always thought he was a bit too clean, too “normal” for the MI2 LeChuck. So I think this could be the chance to give him a really horrifying voice. I think I’d prefer that to a simple Boen imitation… but we’ll see.

Knowing Ron he's messing with us and its a obscure returning character like the guy who sales you the map in mi1 or the rat from m1 and m2. 😂

LeChuck is pretty much a glorified henchman in EMI--does he count?

I also would like a different take on Le Chuck's voice. No offence to the voice actor who voiced Le Chuck for Tales in episode 1 but I found it jarring where it drifted in and out of sounding like Earl Boen and then not. I think its better to have a voice actor do their own thing, i'm also all for an even more sinister threatening voice.

he's seen the herman toothrot discussion itt and decided he needs to weigh in edit: serious answer. we haven't heard from Elaine yet, and I want to hear from her. But my money's still on a bit of a gag like HT or something tbh.

What if we have the choice to free either Stan or Otis from prison?

And Cruff.

If Ron is serious and not pranking us then i think its either Stan or Murray. Ron knows that they are both fan favourites. In fact, I'm calling it now the next video will be this scene with Murray:

It it's LeChuck, that would mean that it's not the same voice as Judge Plank, which in turn would mean that Judge Plank is not an alias of LeChuck! And it's so embarrassing when my bold predictions go wrong. 😔 It might be Elaine, which is dangerous spoiler terrain, because her whereabouts, calling and relationship to our protagonist is still very much an enigma. ... I think it's Elaine. But I'd be ready for a deliberately falsified teaser (like for "The Siege of Spinner Cay". That was awesome.)

I reckon if we do get to hear LeChuck for the next Monkey Island Monday, it'll be one of those "Meawhile..." cutaways after Guybrush has made some progress on a puzzle.

With all due respect to the actor, the main problem I had with Adam was that he sounded like someone trying too hard to be a villain. The "HAR, HAR, HAR" just didn't work for me. Earl Boen just made his villainy seem so organic. Curse was my first Monkey Island game and LeChuck's monologues at the end actually frightened me as a child, in a good way. Up until that point, I was used to harmless and stereotypical cartoon villains. LeChuck was the first instance of me realizing that the villains in media can actually torture and kill people. The conversation between Guybrush and LeChuck at the end of Curse not only fascinated me, but horrified me as well lol Again, in a good way.

I really hope it's LeChuck, but there are lots of characters we haven't heard yet. It could be Elaine, Herman, Wally, Stan, I think if it isn't LeChuck then it'll probably be the Lookout. But yeah...I'm excited and nervous about who they've cast, but I trust that Ron and Khris Brown found someone good. It's just hard to picture anyone else but Earl Boen, and when I try my brain just goes to Adam Harrington, which was servicable but not ideal.

My first thought is LeChuck. Anyone wanna place some bets lol

I honestly can't wait to see this iconic area in Return of Monkey Island. 😍 I'm happy they haven't shown it yet. Also do you think the Voodoo lady is in the same room as Secret of Monkey Island?

I'm curious what specific plot points Ron really advised in Tales during the discussions on the game's story and structure. I would imagine the Voodoo Lady's character was a pretty big piece of those conversations. If Ron spearheaded that in those discussions, I think it's very likely it will at least be touched upon in Return, especially with Dave also involved and Tales already getting a reference in the first trailer.

Mr. Fossey should be on the list! His loyalty to LeChimp is noble, and it's impressive what he is able to achieve with his crew of monkeys.
