I've had exactly the same idea for a gag! The multiverse would explain the whole "Herman Toothroot is Elaine's grandfather" retcon. COMI, EFMI and TOMI could be separate versions of reality. In gact, I would enjoy EFMI more if I knew that the whole Herman Toothroot thing and the giant Monkey Robot under Monkey Island thing simply belong to an alternative reality, separate from the Ron Gilbert's plotline.

If RTMI was merely an in-between-quel, then Murry couldn't be in it. Yet he is featured in the game... I'm sticking to my multiverse theory!

Ok... Ok... Let us all have faith in Ron and simply enjoy whatever he delivers! Can we all agree to this?

I will stand for Mr Gilbert and support him no matter what kind of creative decisions he made. I'm going to enjoy this new game no matter what. I just dearly hope that the whole "COMI is Canon" thing is his own creative idea, and not something that was forced upon him by the supervisors from Disney.

I feel exactly the same! I've waited for many years to know Ron's version of the story! I would feel quite a bit sad if the plot of RTMI was somehow modified to make sure it dosn't contradict COMI. Getting to know Ron's original idea is what gets me excited the most about the new game...

I'm very curious how Ron Gilbert will be able to tell his own version of the story and keep COMI as part of the Canon at the same time. I'm personally opting for a multiverse type of solution. It would give Ron the creative freedom to tell his own story and still keep COMI intact. It would also explain how Murray can be featured in the new game, even though we only meet him for the first time at the beginning of COMI. Maybe Guybrush will vistit alternative timelines at one point of RTMI and meet Murray there... Just a thought...

My reaction was very similar! I started hyperventilating and had to force myself not to scream of joy! I didn't scream, because my grandpa - with whom I live - is not aware of what adventure games or Monkey Island are. He would have thought that I went crazy or something. But if I was alone at the house, I would have definitely screamed from the bottom of my heart. I've watched the trailer contless times already and I still can't get enough of it! I 'm 36-years-old by the way, and I'm new to the forums so "hello"!
