Only way someone could get close is if Pixar opened a gaming division and let them do whatever they wanted. And that won't happen because Disney.

Purcell did a little on the beginning of MI3's production (pic related), but Bill Tyler is the actual responsible for the ultimate art direction of the game.

It's known, and he even recently said MI2's wasn't a cliffhanger. But he says that if he WAS to continue the series, he would do it his own way so it can be the unquestionably conclusive chapter.

At least Peter McConnell can still crush it. The Hearthstone music sounds like its lifted straight out of Monkey Island.

Isn't it just a dream in MI2 ending? How does current MI3 start? How would Ron's MI3 start?

It’s implied Guybrush is trapped in some sort of illusion or curse set in a theme park in which he’s a child again. Curse of Monkey Island starts a bit after Guybrush has just managed to escape and is adrift at sea, quite a while later apparently. You later return to the cursed theme park -which is located in Monkey Island, hence the title- and get turned back into a child for a while.

Nobody knows what Gilbert had planned (if anything), but given hes a contrarian fuck his version would have not involved any of the above

>Isn't it just a dream in MI2 ending?

MI2's ending is intended to be a clusterfuck of twists because two months from gold they genuinely had no idea how to end the game once Guybrush found Big Whoop, and they were even running low on data budget so they had to cut stuff. MI2 was probably the most crunched game to ever see release by LucasArts.

Point is, that in the MI1 days, Gilbert flat-out admitted all the anachronisms in a 16th century setting were not just played for laughs, but had an actual connection with the story. Many rumors started to appear in the early 2000s about how supposedly Brian Moriarty or Noah Falstein (can't remember which, probably someone else entirely) dissuaded Gilbert from dropping "the bomb" in Monkey 1, which apparently was going to be something along the lines of Guybrush playing pretendo pirate on an appropriately themed multi-island park complex. There are MANY hints for this in Monkey 1, even more than 2 in perspective. MI2 though is probably the closest he ever got to flat out revealing what was up with this pirate world.

>How would Ron's MI3 start?
He says he's thought of a plan these last few years, but nobody would ever know. Gilbert is very Kojima-like in his work, he would probably do everything and its opposite to prove a point that you need to stop obsessing stuff like this and decide on your own, so that he can finally stop being Secret of Monkey Island-man, just like Kojima is seen as Metal Gear-man.

I still remember Gilbert taking a pot shot at Tyler in the MI2 special edition audio commentary. He's kind of an arrogant asshole

Does that theory mean he's been a kid through every game and he's just been playing make-believe?
