      PotC was definitely not planned as a trilogy, the sequels were a mad rush to cash in on an unexpected windfall

      I... don't think this is true, since the whole reason the PotC movie exists is Disney capitalizing on the IP of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland/Disneyworld

      It's actually kind of the other way around, Ron Gilbert at LucasArts said his favorite ride at Disneyland was always Pirates of the Caribbean and that's what inspired him to create the Monkey Island series, so that's why they feel similar

      I did some googling and I'm pretty sure this is an urban legend According to this Monkey Island fansite the writers of Curse of the Black Pearl actually got pissed at being asked about itpic.twitter.com/ywK59Rqvuz

      It is a bit darkly funny that since purchasing LucasFilm, Disney now owns both of these franchises.

      Replying to @LuigiHann @isitspag and

      The funny thing is I think what clinched the Monkey Island connection for a lot of people was the "Voodoo Lady", since that's not something you typically saw in old school pirate movies that generally avoided the supernatural

      But that was just because Ron Gilbert and Elliot/Rossio were both fans of the classic Tim Powers book On Stranger Tides, which deliberately mashes up the Golden Age of Piracy and a bunch of lore about Caribbean sorcery And then Disney just straight up bought the rights to it

      Yeah. Every once in a while I think about how dramatically adapting "Secret of Monkey Island" into an actual PotC sequel would be one of the worst things that could happen to Monkey Island, and yet it's one of the better things that could happen to Pirates of the Caribbean

      I dunno that the sheer anachronistic wackiness of the Monkey Island universe works as a movie, especially not a live action movie
