WIP, Wanted It Out Before November

We've all been here, or will be soon enough. You'll get your answers if you haven't yet, some earlier than others. Some maybe not at all.

Who the fuck is that narrator???

Soooo after playing a bit more i think i'm starting to get a grasp who the princess is - she is a reflection of me. She will always react according to my actions (and grow some more personality in the meantime) But who is the narrator - he sometimes has power over us (especially in the first chapter) and sometimes not. He clearly can't be trusted. Is he one or many?? He loses power the more power the princess gets...and he seems to be disgusted almost jealous whenever our realationship to the princess gets better. SOOO who is he? Is he our self preservation? Our pride? Why isn't he able to see the mirror (something i believe he isn't lying about)

At one time he let slip that we were MADE to slay the princess - so what are we? Are we a clone? What is this world which is completly under his control? Will I ever get answers. I fucked around a little bit but havent found any satisfying answers yet... So my question is - what can i do to really piss him of so he makes a mistake and reveals to much. I will ponder this.

Ironically, the Sea of Thieves tall tale is the worst offender, though made by fans.

It's great as a way to lure SoT players into Monkey Island, but they botched it in a few ways; mischaracterisation of Cate Capsize, relying on one of the limited time Adventures for build-up, taking place immediately after Curse but not referencing Demon LeChuck in favour of the most toned down version of his zombie form yet, incredibly tedious movement and not playing around enough with the inherently weird in-universe explanation; it doesn't take place on the real Meleé or Monkey islands and instead in the delusional realm of Guybrush's memories, distorted by his nemesis.

Rare had the chance to give us a world of Guybrush's own desires turned against him by LeChuck and it's just Meleé island but he's a popular has-been, and not a hated has been? Maybe it's so lukewarm because of the demographic of SoT, but come on. We could have had the nightmare pirate LeChuck positioning Guybrush in a much wackier torment nexus.

Sorry for the rant, and don't get me started on the questionable ending of Guybrush apologising to the fake townsfolk.

It's really funny that MI2 predicted Guybrush as obnoxiously stuck in the past, clinging to iconic moments and places that made him famous until everyone got bored with him completely, only for the franchise to become exactly that after Tales. We got the beautifully and artfully made Sea of Thieves DLC, which really does capture the FEEL of the original SoMI but in 3D, but there's nothing original about it, it's literally made TO be a retread, even narratively. Then Return came, and while we have a lot more original content, characters, and places, the entire story still REVOLVES around LeChuck and the Secret. Playing it with my brother was frustrating because while we both grew up with MI3 and MI4 (and the first half of Tales), he only got to briefly play the other games Return puts a LOT of faith in the idea that you will recognize places and events that shouldn't necessarily define Guybrush as a character. This fandom has been full of mi1+mi2 elitists for forever but now it feels like they've snuck into the dev team, too.

Also: I think Aragorn gets a bad reputation now because so many lesser franchises have tried to imitate his archetype without understanding why he works. In the original movies he’s just a big gentle sad guy with a sword, who knows he’s not the real hero of the story and dedicates himself to supporting those gay little hobbits. The aragorn knockoffs are not his fault

Thank you to everyone who got me to 250 likes!

I can hardly believe that a combination of low effort shitposts and mid quality art could get me so far.

Then again, that's the power of...

wait a bunch of ppl ( in mexico i belive) got togheter and made a mini movie where everyone is poorly pretending to be french in retaliation for the dogshit emilia perez musical this is awesome tjhey all have little mustaches drawn on with sharpie and are spealing the worst french ever

I'm going to do some Transformers redesigns, and I wanted to know which autobots and decepticons are popular across different continuities.

I'm already locked in on Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream.

I'm open to alt mode suggestions for Megatron (currently thinking an alien gunship) and any suggested characters who have inconsistent alt modes.

Please respond with a comment, I look forwards to knowing what you guys have to say!
