I loved the ending of TWP just as I loved the ending of MI2.
So I just grew even more confident in Ron Gilbert’s way of thinking the end of the whole story.
Talking about the ending of MI2, it just makes me feel like there is a secret gate to the world of Monkey Island. It’s not a dream, it might just be a kid’s fantasy, but there is certainly a “world of Monkey Island” somewhere where one can go when one wants to play the pirate. A bit (a lot) like Peter Pan’s Neverland.
