An ending with meaning.Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. An ending that will give closure to some and infuriate others. That is what this ending is: the final revelation to the players of the ORIGINAL Secret of Monkey Island. An ending that we finally have an explanation for: the ending of Monkey Island 2 was actually Guybrush's children reliving one of Guybrush's adventures. An ending that is still being discussed and debated today. An ending that was discussed and debated for years. Instead, we got an ending that WAS meaningful. We never find out what Big Whoop is, and if we found out, it might not hold any meaning for us as players. Think about the ending of Monkey Island 2. It's very possible that the "true" secret is something like that for Guybrush. Something that leads to an understanding. People want the Secret to be something meaningful. But what the secret is to the characters in the game isn't what ultimately matters, I think. Within the narrative of the game itself, it makes no sense and is probably just something silly made up as part of the framing story. Maybe they changed their minds about including it. It wasn't included there for some reason. I mean that the theme park is what the Secret was intended to be in the original game.
