Well, yes, Monkey Island games always have some dark and violent motives in them. But until now they worked like parodies of.. just everything. Including cliched stories. MI was like a cartoon version of our world, with all those heads, skeletons and scenes included for the sake of laugh.
And I think they were ideal family games, as there was no strong language, no violence, no sex. Only parodies and subtitle jokes. It worked for both children and adults.
But now everything have gone too serious. I don't mind it, it's just.. not canonical.
