He already did the "it's a theme park" ending in MI2 and it was fine. Not tbh my favourite part, but fine in that context in that time. There was something about the new one which was appallingly "fuck you for still liking Monkey Island".

Oh wow. I got bored of Return a few hours in - I guess it's validating to hear that the ending is also bad I guess.

I couldn't bring myself to finish Return either. Which is a huge bummer, since the first couple games are near the very top of my list of favorite and most (personally) influential games ever. But the nostalgia tour and nonstop callbacks to prior games, rather than actual new content, didn't really do it for me.
