El Carlo and Lord Jack—That Monkey Island 2 Story Document
That El Carlo was to be LeChuck’s Revenge’s antagonist and that Largo’s original name was “Lord Jack” is common knowledge by now, but have you ever read the full pitch for the Monkey Island sequel? If you haven’t—or even if you have, I suppose—this is as good time as any to read the game’s story document. A snippet:
“Nice to meet you,” said Guybrush, offering to shake hands. Lord Jack looked at Guybrush’s extended paw and said, “El Carlo was LeChuck’s brother.” The words “LeChuck’s Brother” echoed in Guybrush’s head. Lord Jack smiled and started to walk into the water towards his rowboat. “You’re a dead man Guybrush! El Carlo has been looking for his brother’s killer for many months, it looks like now we’ve found him. You should also know that of the two brothers, LeChuck was the nice one.”
