The Real Monkey Island 3

- Start date
Because in MI3, Big Whoop was a giant mindfuck trap set by LeChuck, fooling Guybrush into thinking he was a child who dreamt it all, while LC could sail off and try to steal Elaine. That's also why Guybrush gets hit by the effect again at the start of Act IV hand has to make a hair of the dog that bit him.
Which kind of spoils MI2, which worked brilliantly on its own, as taxalot explained earlier.
It may spoil M2, but it was a decent solution for continuing the series.
Come on, people, it should be obvious by now that Gilbert is an old troll who enjoys watching us poor nerds writhe in anguish as we speculate about a game that came out, what, 23 years ago? I'm not even sure he really does know how the plotline would have resolved. He has already said that the interpretation in CMI was not what he had in mind, but he has also said that the "it's all a child's imagination" theory is wrong, too. I don't think we'll ever know what he had in mind.
In the end of monkey 2, after the reveals everything is a child's imagination, you can see at least two events that it's a spell by lechuck. One is LeChuck himself as a kid looking to the "camera" and his eye flash red with lightning. Two is that after the first credits, we have a scene with elaine, still adult, wondering if lechuck used "that" spell...
Monkey 3 just took that idea and moved on.

Oh FFS I explained this shit years ago.
There's no child's imagination (debunked by Gilbert, and besides makes no sense in the game's context). There's no spell by Le Chuck (this is all Curse act 5 crap, and the less said about that entire act the better). Did anyone forget what Big Whoop was supposed to be in the first place? Voodoo Lady spells it out earlier in the game: it's a gateway to another world, which Guybrush can use to escape from Le Chuck. So he does get it, and does use it, and does escape to another world (ours).... except Le Chuck also ends up using it and follows Le Chuck. Hence Kid Le Chuck evil flash at camera: it's still is him (not some random kid brother of that other random kid who thinks he's Guybrush), and he's managed to not let Guybrush get away from him. Elaine is still there because she doesn't know any of this has happened and thinks Guybrush is just gonna come out (which he could've if a Gilbert MI3 had been done in which he finds some excuse for Guybrush to go back to his own world).
Elaine's spell reference is because THE ENTIRE DAMN SEQUENCE is Le Chuck trying to cast a horrible spell at Guybrush (the doll).
