I think a One Piece Monkey Island Au could be possible. The style and humor could definitely be interesting to see play out. Pirates + More Pirates = An absolute win to me
Guybrush is still a pirate wanted for many smaller crimes like MI2 but also his incredibly unique sword style. He would also still be happily married to Elaine who is now a member of the world government as a marine and governor of Melee or the tri-island area. They live in Melee located maybe in one of the Blues or the grand line before the introduction of the New World.
Side characters like Morgan, Stan, and The Voodoo Lady could also big players in this universe. Morgan admires Guybrush for his admirable swordfighting but also a pirate hunter working for the marines. She could have history connecting to Zorro or connecting towards Nami’s backstory. Stan could be an annoying nuisance who comes and bothers the straw hats with lackluster products and random things due to a change in career, probably wooing over Ussop, Chopper, and Luffy.
Now the voodoo lady could be a bit of a villain or a source of uncertain waters. Her powers could be magic or even the use of a devil fruit, like Basil Hawkins and his voodoo and tarot card based powers. No one knows if she’s on their side, the other side, or a side of her own. She could also be able to see very clear visions of the future like Madam Shirley. She like in the Monkey Island games could stay a mysterious force that looms over all and watches all.
Lechuck’s power could be a devil fruit that allows him to become a zombie but not face the consequences of dying after contact with sunlight. His power could make him still alive but also allow him to become a ghost or spirit at will, like Brook. He still would seek vengeance for the hand of Elaine and be seen as a feared pirate over in the “Caribbean” area of the world and maybe spread towards other nearby islands and their folklore. Not many would be able to have proven him real especially since there would not be many who would live to tell the tale, maybe Guybrush might be the only survivor. Something he might take with great pride i.e. “That Time I Blew Up Lechuck”.
The straw hats could arrive on melee and the island in between looking for treasure hunting purposes but then get roped into the hijinks of Tales. Where they meet the plunderbunny couple in the middle of the action or the moments before.
Either way I could see it, pirates, pirates, and more pirates? Hijinks and humor littered throughout? Sounds like quite the adventure to me!
Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams (and your rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle too)!
Day Four: Monkey Island AU
What’s this? You want to shift outside of canon? You have an idea that wouldn’t normally fit within the structure of the game’s canon? You have a…. gasp! An Alternate Universe?! Share with the fans, what’s an AU you would do with Monkey Island?

Be more chill is closing tomorrow, ending the run of a beautiful musicals with an amazing cast. What Be More Chill mean to me is a homage to the losers, geeks, the whatever in highschool. The need to be noticed, to be popular, the need to Be More Chill. I feel as though Jeremy represents how many in highschool struggle with fitting in and standing out. How many can relate to his insecurity and what many people do to be noticed. I’ve heard stories that people have cried during many performances. Not only teens but, also adults who could relate or reminisce on times when they acted just like them. This story is a link to many’s past and an example for the future. To show that you are not unnoticed and the peer pressure to be someone you aren’t. Even Rich, Jake, Brooke, Chloe, and Jenna are examples of insecurity. The Squip showed that they are as strong as you think they are. All of them are not completely confident and are just like Jeremy, scared of never being enough. They lyrics show the pain that they feel but, don’t show. They express the anxiety every character feels. A big thank you to Joe Iconis, Joe Tracz, and most importantly Ned Vizzini. Without Ned this beautiful story would not even exist. Joe Iconis and Joe Tracz for creating an amazing musicals, score, and cast. Thank you the directors, costume designers, and all who work to make this happen. Thank you to every Be More Chill actor ,old and new, you have been an active representation of these characters and their adventures. We as fans have always supported you and we will still do so. We know this production has helped many in desperate time of anxiety and peer pressure. Thank you for making a story of adventure and most importantly a story that warns for being some you aren’t. Thank you for everything you have done, ever since Ned Vizzini put his pen to a paper with a story of a loser with the name of Jeremy.
Thank you we are in-depth to you forever.
OH GOD IT"S HAPPENING.
I'M SHARING THE GIFT OH NO
CHILD NO NOT THE WILLIAM WOOD NONONON
knowing a friend who hasn't listened to will wood is like getting a birthday gift. I have to try and hold my excitement while i give them the funkiest little trinket that I will also enjoy.
Now hanging at the Kurt Vonnegut memorial library in Indianapolis.
if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"
you:
build community & involve yourself locally
learn self sustainability skills
choose kindness
protect others & yourself
join or build a mutual aid group and/or network
find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)
MI 1 + 2: Really just the first special edition I would love to just tweak. The art direction and some of the redesigns just have me preferring the older style compared to the new and improve version. And I feel even some of the most simple of movements are not very appealing to watch. (watching Guybrush use the rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle was not as satisfying as the original). Though I’d also say that trying to barter with Stan was kinda a hassle to me. Also give the voice lines and background ambience noises included in the original for the special edition. Please please please god please. I don’t think I have any gripes with Lechuck’s Revenge. These two games were great and it kept my attention and got me interested in the monkey island series, they’re great games and great introductions to games like them.
COMI: The more cartoony style done for the Curse was great and made it feel like a wonderful visually-interactive pirate adventure :). But, I do realize I wish we could have gotten a little more Elaine action and more of her involvement other than Guybrush having to save her. And also have a little more bonding time between Guy and Elaine towards the end. Without it, it makes the ending feel so rushed like, “I’ve saved you. Now I’m married to you.” It would have been nice to have a little back and forth banter between the bride and groom to be. Maybe a little more dialogue like when Guybrush proposed (and maybe have him try to sing and the barbers shut him up for something idk). Having that would make the ending a little less rushed than before
EMI: Oh dear. Really wasn’t a big fame of controls. Arrow keys and function keys were not fun to navigate with or for any item collecting. They were a pain.
The humor was kinda hit or miss depending on the joke or maybe a little reference towards a topical joke at the time. It kinda made me want to skip the dialogue sometimes, even though most of the dialogue is so fitting and great.
MORE GUYBRUSH AND ELAINE AS A HAPPY MARRIED COUPLE MOMENTS. Please please please. Playing Curse and then directly going into Escape feels like their relationship is now kinda on the rocks compared to the ending of Curse, where they seem very much happy and content with each other. Would want to have more cute plunder bunny moments for the soul.
and speaking of guybrush. I’m all for that goofy deep voice guybrush pulls off but it feels weird to have a happily married man and seeing him casually flirt with some of the other characters. Please more plunderbunny.
The randomization of certain tasks did lessen my enjoyment of the game. It made me go, “How the hell was I supposed to figure that out?” instead of making me feel proud to have understood the rules of the puzzle. Like the sushi boats, prosthetic order dial, and Boulder throwing.
Just a big no on the monkey kombat or at least modify it to instead do monkey noises you learn Australian slang to defeat Ozzy Mandrill. Just fix it to get rid of the tedium.
Could have gone through the series without the monkey head being a giant fighting robot and instead maybe just defeating Ozzy but then have him possessed but Lechuck to give him a role in the final battle. Also just put a big giant ‘x’ over the whole Charles L Charles thing, It didn’t make much sense to me. Just straight up Lechuck would be fun.
TOMI: Tales is great, there really isn’t Mapuche i have. The game is great and a nice neat story that combined a lot of what people love about the series. The characters, dialogue, humor, etc. All of that was there and combined to give us such an enjoyable game to a lot of people. I would like to change the controls on Tales but it’s mostly just for inspecting items and combining them for tasks. Maybe have it be like Curse and just drag it from one part to another part of your inventory. Also sometimes using the music to drag Guybrush along was a little uncomfortable. But really don’t think I have much to say other than more plunderbunny. I really don’t think you could have too much of that. You know?
Day Three: Something You Would Change
Monkey Island isn’t without its fair of flaws. Whether glaring issues or something small and trivial, there’s that one thing that if it were up to you, you would change. So pretend for a moment, you have that ability: What would be something in the series you would change?

Dear listeners I come to you with a query I guess more of a proposition to spread the word.
To finally make Wolf 359 popular!
Sense tumbler had graciously given us polls I’ve noticed that w359 has been over shadowed by other bigger podcasts and I think that w359 deserves some recognition as an Og podcast that lots of podcast creators have drawn inspiration from.
Like Johnathan Sim has literally recommended it in one of he’s Q&A’s and people still over look it 😔 for shame.
A lot of people haven’t listened to it because of the title ect. But it’s literally so good and funny, I love all of the characters sm and none even knows who they are and it KILLLLS ME oh so much.
SPREAD THE WORD WOLF 359 WILL HAVE A COME BACK.
I’ve done my part of showing this podcast to many a people please help me in this endeavor.
Good luck ⭐️
