Future Governor of Monkey Island™!

[Marius]

In the german version of Escape they made a funny translation error. In his introduction, Charles L. Charles claims he is the future Governor of Monkey Island™!

Watching an english playthrough I suddenly remembered that small moment from 2000. Back then I didn't think it was an error at all. I was like, "Huh! Interesting!".

Today I'm happy to discover that I wasn't misremembering things. Hear it for yourself in the video below

Interesting! Whereas he already has a fancy church there and religion and politics should not be mixed - not even on Monkey Island! ☝️

 

I'm currently playing "Tales" on the iPad (which works pretty well, actually!). Every now and then I switch to the German dubbing, just for fun. But unfortunately it's not very well done and every third sentence is chopped off because the sentences in English are shorter and no one has adjusted that. 😒

Also, the subtitles call Guybrush "Mr. Threepword". 😊

That was my typo I couldn't find a german, no-commentary playthrough with subtitles turned on, so I wrote them myself.

Oh, I was pretty certain you typed those woods. 😇

Funny how even the biggest fans can't get his name right! Poor, poor Goalbrush! 😟

On that note, SURELY at some point in Return he'll get called Thimbleweed, right?

Muphry's Law: You make a typo when you're pointing out someone else's mistake.
