Guybrush91789 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 How does the curse have anything to do with Monkey Island. The closest they went to Monkey Island was Big Whoop
Ray Jones Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 but big whoop has nothing to do with mi1...?? this again would mean mi2 has nothing to do with mi1.. and even more. except for the characters and some jokes mi2 hasnt much related to mi1.. the same is for mi3 .. ..
Thrik Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 Well you didn't really go on Monkey Island in MI2 either, just the underground tunnels beneath and Dinky Island. But yeah, CMI was designed with a different plot direction to what was intended with MI1/2 - it's still an awesome game though. Of course, this article explains how the locations all fit together anyway.
Joshi Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I think we're basiocally led to believe that the cursed ring came from monkey island. That, or they were using the same characters and had to use the words monkey island in the title.
Ernil Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 What do those darned "Two Towers" have to do with "The Lord of the Rings?" What does a small wooden cup have anything to do with a man named after a State? Etc. P.S....Do not answer these questions. They were to prove a point.
Joshi Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 The two towers one didn't really prove a thing considering it has everything to do with the lord of the rings. And I really don't see any point to make, Guybrush91789 had every right to ask that question, a bloody good question it is.
Demon Chuckie Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 erm, the themepark is on Monkey Island so technically Monkey Island features in both games. what is the proble|m?
Bushmeister Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Hmmmm well I suppose. And you can see the giant big monkey head in MI3 from various movie clips and in the bit where Guybrush is a child.
Ernil Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 The two towers one didn't really prove a thing considering it has everything to do with the lord of the rings. A untrue, in my opinion. I never put down his question, just tried to answer it using examples, so you could see what I'm saying better. My answer was also legit, considering I was showing the point that sequels can bring in new plots to bring depth to their game/movie.
Joshi Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 Despite the fact that The Lord of the Rings had been intended from the start by Professor Tolkien to be a six part book (often published in three parts for those of you who are now lost) and The Two Towers was just another part which did indeed have everything to do with the story from the very start of The Lord of the Rings saga which is why both towers were featured in the second book to show that they would both be of some importance in the third book and later on. And the point that you seemed to be making in your point was that there was no point in this thread, or at least the question and just saying that the curse had nothing to do with monkey island and therefore you shouldn't need to ask. I apologise if I am wrong, but that's the vibe I got from your post (do not ask why I used the word 'vibe', I'm currently listening to R Kelly)
Ernil Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Yes, yes, I know my Tolkien. It's my passion in life. I was just saying that having a "curse" in MI3 was another plot development...such as having the "Towers." The Lord of the Rings, books 3&4 just happen to involve two specific towers...no one is 100% sure which towers those were. When they published the book "The Two Towers" the publishers decided that it should be 3 books, not 6. It is said that Tolkien was forced to find a name for these 3 books, naming the second one "The Two Towers." He later quotes that this name is not satisfactory name for the book, and does not quite like the name. I was saying that "The Lord of the Rings" is not wholly based around those Towers. It happened to involve many towers, but also envolved 4 hobbits, 3 Wizards, and many, many other things. Seeing that it was named after some towers in the book, it also could have been named "Nan Curunir," "Emyn Muil," or something of the sort. None of these are the basis of the book, or shown to us in the first book. The fact that we are introduced to them in "The Two Towers" does not make them irrevelant, or not necessary, but makes them different from the first book. Sorry for any confusion. With Love, Ernil
Anomonous Guy Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Maaaan, now u have got me confused guys Anyway, CMI has quite alot to do with the first 2 games... It has guybrush in it as lead character for a start as well as many of the characters from the first 2 it also includes monkey island in the game.... So, what isnt there in the game that is anything to do with the first 2 games?
Guybrush91789 Posted October 5, 2003 Author Posted October 5, 2003 In MI1 you go to Monkey Island In Mi2 you go near Monkey Island (the underground tunnels) In EMI you are exiled to Monkey Island by LeChuck and Mandrill
Lemon Head Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 and in CMI you go to the monkey island theme park...was there any reason you didn't mention this GB91789?
Anomonous Guy Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Please correct me if i am wrong, but i dont remember anything about being near monkey island or anything on MI2... As far as i remember LeChuck doesnt even live there, he lives on a fortress deep in the caribean...
Lemon Head Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 As far as I can remember, when Guybrush comes out of the tunnel he finds himself in [what CMI later referred to as] The Carnival of the Damned, which is on Monkey Island. The tunnel connects the two islands together.
Anomonous Guy Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Yes, but the carnival of the damned is supposed to be a dream i thought, as in something lechuck made up, and by the time guybrush was kidnapped at the last part of CMI the real carnival of the damned was ready... although i havent played the game for many moons so i cant really remember..
Joshi Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 That's a theory but was enver actually stated in CMI. And it has nothing to do with it. the Curse is the surse that turns elaine into a statue. What was the link to Monkey island and the ring?
