* FauxSymbolism: According to [[http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18337 Telltale Games' forum thread]], there are PLENTY of examples of faux symbolism. They include:
** In Chapter 3, Guybrush and his friends last a few days in the belly of a manatee, similar to when [[TheBible Jonah survived for three days in the belly of a whale]].
** [[spoiler:Guybrush befriends Morgan and then gets betrayed by her and handed over to the Marquis De Singe on Flotsam Island for 30,000 pieces of silver... kind of like when Jesus befriended Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed him and handed him over to the chief priests for 30 pieces of silver.]]
** In Chapter 4, [[spoiler:Guybrush is brought to trial for charges, including that of spreading the Pox of [=LeChuck=], and almost sentenced to death before [=LeChuck=] arrives to save him. In the Bible, Jesus was brought to trial before the Sanhedrin and before Pilate and Herod before being condemned to death with no one to help him, in order to fulfill the Biblical prophecy of long ago.]]
** In the same chapter, [[spoiler:Guybrush cures Elaine and everyone else across the Gulf of Melange of the Pox of [=LeChuck=], and then gets betrayed by [=LeChuck=] and pierced by his Cutlass of Kaflu before dying; kind of like when Jesus was pierced by the nails of the cross and died to save humanity from all ills.]]
** In Chapter 5, the map of the Crossroads is shaped like a cross where Christ was crucified. [[spoiler:The map patterns are: Gateway = feet, Center = heart, Swordfight path = right hand, Treasure Hunt path = left hand, and Thieves' Den = head. Coincidence?]]
*** Arguable since it resembles more the veve/symbol of Papa Legba, [[spoiler: who, like Galeb, is an important figure in Haitian Vodou who stood at the Crossroads and was responsible for allowing/denying communication between the land of the living and the afterlife, often portrayed as an old man with a walking staff, a pipe and an affinity for dogs, sound familiar?]] This makes it less of Christian symbolism and more a case of the people at Telltale Games actually doing the research.
** In the same chapter, [[spoiler:Guybrush makes his journey through the Crossroads, manages to unite himself in spirit with his body, and returns to destroy [=LeChuck=] once and for all through his trials and pains, before closing up the Crossroads with a sacrifice of his Shred of Life and using Elaine's ring as a part of the Crossroads exit spell to return to life and reunite with Elaine in the living world in his fully revived body. All of this makes a pattern to Jesus' descent into the netherworld and resurrection from the tomb to destroy death and Satan once and for all. Guess that's one more bit of faux symbolism added to this trope!]]
