Talk:Monster Carnival Island/@comment-Monty Mongoose-20141231224658

I have to say that while this is one of my most favorite Islands so far, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed- it still feels like the story is unfinished. What ever became of Ringmaster Raven? Did he stay hypnotized permanently? Edgar was quite easily snapped out of his trance, so couldn't the same have happened in his case? And if it did, then did he keep the promise he made to the player in his hypnotic state or did he seek vengeance against them? I literally watched the bonus quest walkthrough just to see if the creators would surprise us with answers to those questions but was a little saddened when they dove into a mini side-story instead- while they made us care about Dr. Dan and showed us that the townspeople had learned a lesson, I kinda' feel that they denied us the rest of Ringmaster Raven's story. It's like they forgot that they gave him a background that made the players feel sorry for him and just assumed "well, he's still an antagonist, so who cares?"- I mean, he was tormented and exploited for birth defects that he had no control over, he was left behind by the closest thing to a "family" he had, accused of a crime he didn't commit, chased out of town, and spent years plotting revenge only to be hypnotized and exploited again just like he was as a child. Though Monster Carnival gave me another reason to love and adore Poptropica, it also left me secretly wishing the bad guy could've gotten his own "happy ending"- though I like to imagine that one day they may eventually release a "sequel" of sorts similar to Super Villains Island, or possibly even add an episode if they ever make any updates to the Island itself, but for now, I'm pleased with people's fan theories and my own Poptropica head-cannon.
