Tony Jay would’ve been a great choice, though maybe a bit too recognisable as well. Maybe if he hid it behind a pirate accent. He did have the same vocal deepness and nuances that Earl Boen has, so it might’ve worked. I’d still prefer someone like a classicaly trained stage actor with a deep voice and not too many voice acting roles to his name. Someone no one on the forums could name, but would absolutely nail it!

Noooo!! I absolutely LOVE Jim Cummings, but I just know his voice so well that I’d be completely put off by it. I’d hate to hear LeChuck and be able to hear “oh, this sounds like his Pete”, or “here he’s going into Monterey Jack territory” or “this has a touch of Tigger”. What I love about Earl Boen is that he wasn’t a very familiar voice actor to begin with. Jim Cummings voiced almost all of my youth!

The 16 colour versions have a sunset at the Melee docks. It’s quite a sight of EGA beauty!

Could be a nice touch, it’d be nice if it was toggalable (looking at you Sam and Max remasters.) Although, to be honest, to please everyone I think they’d have to put in a No Grandpa and No Monkey Combat mode too.

Nice catch with the key theme. It totally went over my way too excited head!

Damn! This was actually the first thing I woke up with this morning. Guess I had a hunch! Decided to start with my regulae starting word though… 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 2/6 💛🖤🖤🖤🖤 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Hmm… I’m not convinced. They tried to sell me a different LeChuck once (with Adam Harrington) and they failed miserably. Although I have to admit, Kevin Blackton was pretty good as a friendly human LeChuck.

I just rewatched the Curse of Monkey Island intro and I miss Earl Boen already… So curious about who will replace him.

Great observation, although I’m sure the art style was specifically chosen for Dott (and Sam and Max Hit the Road). If Ron had done MI3 back then he might have chosen a style that was more like MI2 or a maybe completely different style. We’ll never know.

I actually really like the new screenshots! They seem like a perfect way to incorporate grit and detail into “clean” vector like shapes, while at the same time using the familiar colour palette from the first game. The humans look interesting too, I’ll have to see it in motion, but I like what I see. It’s actually a really smart way to move from pixel art to this. Don’t take me wrong, I would’ve loved backgrounds with the hand painted detail that Curse provides, but the animation would have to match that level of detail, and I’m not sure how well that would look on a budget, (Ron probably does not have the budget that Curse or Escape had). I’m really sad about hearing that Earl Boen is not involved. I understand, but I would’ve loved one final take on this classic villain. Especially with Ron finally involved, he could dial it up to really scary. Boen has such a unique and beautiful voice, it really made LeChuck for me. His replacement sure has a hell of a lot to live up to. Hopefully it’s an inspired choice. Also, really excited about the mushroom hell returning! It was such a unique moment in the original, having explored Monkey Island and then ending up in this gruesome, grizzly place! At the same time, I do hope they don’t overstuff on nostalgia locations.

Never heard of this… 🤐 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 3/6 🖤💛🖤💛🖤 🖤💚💚💚💛 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

My first fail!! I thought of this one, but then I thought, “nah, couldn’t be…” Eep ook ack! I failed at #Mojole. 🖤🖤🖤💛🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤💛 💛💛💛🖤🖤 💛💚💚💚🖤 🖤💚💚💚💚 🖤💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Ruurd M. Fenenga, although he is credited in Twin Peaks as Rudy Fenenga Jr., he was the first camera assistant for season 1. I don’t remember what his lessons were called, but he taught us all about the movie making process. Great times.

I understand completely! And I do agree that The Return is a difficult first watch. I was completely open to everything being wiped off the table, but the series walks a very thin line in which it constantly gives you the nostalgia you crave in very, very small doses, which keeps you hungry. I loved it the first time, but it definitely needed a rewatch in which I knew what to expect to fully appreciate it! It felt a lot faster too the second time! Man, I’m looking forward to the new series Lynch is making! And you were married to someone on production! What a good story! I used to have a teacher who worked on season 1. Those were the only lessons I never skipped! Ahh, the memories… Anyway, I agree that the ending shouldn’t be provocative to be provocative. If you can organically come up with a surprising resolution that fits the story and setting and blow people’s minds in the progress, than DO IT! (And you’ll pretty much have hit the creative jackpot.) (And if you do, don’t use a movie parody in the climax. I never liked that about MI2’s ending…)

I guessed a word it didn’t recognise, but does have a far, far connection to Mojo! In the meantime: 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 4/6 💛🖤💚🖤💚 🖤🖤💚💚💚 🖤💚💚💚💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

I wonder if he played all the sequels. Based off that tweet I’d say he knows about CMI, but has he played EMI as well? And I wonder how he involved he was with TMI since he was only credited as “visiting professor of Monkeyology”, if I remember correctly.

I love you for bringing Twin Peaks’ ending up in this context! That was absolutely amazing! Monkey Island shouldn’t focus on being a David Lynch thing, but it would be wonderful if the ending had the same kind of impact! @ThunderPeel2001, did you see TP3? Just curious, since you hated the Thimbleweed Park ending, what did you think of thát ending?

Yes!! Finally my starting word came around! I was so proud of it! 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 1/6 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

I actually always liked his April Fools rendition of the character. Never cared for the SE’s voice actor though, way to heavy and gruff, like they casted a generic bully instead of looking at the way the character looks and acts.

Easy peasy!! (Not!) 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 4/6 🖤🖤🖤🖤💛 🖤🖤🖤💚💛 🖤💚🖤🖤💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

I’d say a sixth Monkey Island helmed by the original creator is a pretty nice thing. 😉 But yeah, I think it’s a very scary company as a whole…

Watch out what you say online, if you keep this up the Disney lawyers will cease and desist you quicker than you can say fan ga…
