Plot Holes 09 Apr, 2001 / Comments: 9

By Spaff


An article posted on Ledgend of MI entitled "LeChuck's Life and Plot Holes of MI4" talks about exactly that. It was pointed out that this was a spoiler.. you should have completed it by now dammit!!! anyways highlight the text to read the quote
In MI4, you find out that Herman Toothrot (the hermit of Monkey Island) is actually Elaine's grandfather! How is this possible? You see, the story about how he got to Monkey Island contradicts the story he told Guybrush in the first game. I've narrowed it down to two possibilities..
An interesting read, if rather nit picky.. i'd rather let sleeping dogs.. well you get the idea. Read it here.

    THE Secret of Monkey Island has nothing to do with that. Only Ron Gilbert knows it and he claims that it has something to do with all the anachronims (Grog machine)

    Anyone else notice that the guy who wrote the article can't tell the difference between Capt. Marley (Elaine's father) and HT Marley (Elaine's GRANDfather). LeChuck never made an attempt to sink HT Marley's ship (though Stemmle and Clark did butcher the whole HT Marley = Herman Toothrot thing, did they ever play the original games?! :P )

    No, the game's consistently said Captan HT Marley was her grandfather, looking for the big whoop, former governor, ship-whirlpool, whole thing. Although, the writer of the article does seem to be under the impression that Elaine's parents had the same last name- both of her grandfather wouldn't have the last name Marley

    Nonono, what I'm saying is the writer of the article thought the story of HT Marley and the story of Capt Marley (Elaine's father) were about the same person (presumable HT Marley)

    That article doesn't seem too nitpicky. In fact, it's defending EMI if anything.

    Hey, uh... I've finished EMI, but alot of people haven't, and isn't this a giant spoiler? Without any warning, too.
