The thing is that whatever Gilbert thinks about it, the ending of MI2 sucked. MI2 was genuinely <i>scary</i> in places (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;monkeyisland.wikia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Screaming_Chair" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;monkeyisland.wikia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Screaming_Chair</a>), and the revelation that it was all a daydream just made everything you&#x27;ve done up to that point feel completely pointless. This put the writers of Curse in a difficult position, and although their solution was a bit awkward, I can&#x27;t really see that they could have gone forward any other way.
