LeChuck

I thought it would bring me fame and glory.

Instead, it delivered me into the clutches of my enemy, the zombie pirate LeChuck.

I thought it was a plot to marry Elaine and

he was after revenge.

Like, it just doesn't have...

It does, it even, like, its structure breaks it from, uh, the first half is in one map and the second half is in another map to being like, nope, we're actually gonna do this four, four, um, you know, four island or th- I guess three island interconnected thing that then at the end sort of funnels you into the, into the finale in LeChuck's Fortress and Dinky Island or Inky Island.

Um, and just realizing, oh, "Monkey Island 2," which I think for a l- like, sorry Jess, but for a lot of us it was the, it was the, like, number one favorite game in the series.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, I guess the, the, the other thing that we talked about a lot at the beginning of the game was the characterization of Guybrush, LeChuck, and Elaine, which was...

That was the part that was like, is, are we gonna...

These tales were passed along by sailors who needed cautionary warnings about greed.

Fast forward to the late 20th century, and you see ghost pirates popping up in video games like Monkey Island, where LeChuck haunts the Isle's cursed crew.

The 2003 film series Pirates of the Caribbean even fused Davy Jones with the Flying Dutchman myth for a sea-bound purgatory.

These modern retellings kept the core of betrayal, but added cinematic spectacle and merchandising hooks.

Yeah, I was looking at all, like, the voice cast of this, because Adam Harrington does Bigby Wolf, but he's never really had, like, a big leading role.

I think his most standout is that he was LeChuck in Tales of Monkey Island.

But a lot of the other ones, he's, like, a narrator, or he sort of, like, plays multiple sort of, like, supporting characters.

He doesn't really have a lot of leading roles, apart from Wolf Among Us, where he's both Bigby Wolf and the woodsman.
