>The MI2 ending is ambiguous
I never understood why people believe this. What's actually ambiguous about it? Obviously the exact nature of the MI universe is generally mysterious by design -which is part of the appeal-, but the nature of the events in the last act and ending of LeChuck's Revenge is pretty much set down by the elements you mention (Elaine's remark about a curse, and the behavior of "Chuckie").

I'm mostly looking forward to the Gilbert-led sequel, but I'm wary of him leaning too hard on the "Theme Park Reality" angle because he's pretty much cornered himself . He was so vocal for so many years about the sequels made without his involvement getting things WRONG, that at this point he's basically obligated to double down on something that doesn't really bring much to the table. Honestly I'd rather play a tongue-in-cheek pirate game than one explicitly set in a self-aware Theme Park world.
