Let's make up our own corner in the MI universe and build it there, independent from all existing MI stuff but following the same style.
For example, a silly dystopian idea I thought of in 5 minutes: What if Guybrush had destroyed LeChuck at the end of MI1 and died in the fight? LeChuck is dead, but the army of dead pirates still goes on plundering. Deep in the jungle of zombie pirate-controlled Swash Island, Maxilo McBeezer has found a way to destile rhum that lets switch his sight between the human world nad the zombie world, at a cost of an enormous headache. Our protagonist, the grandson of a pirate, yearns for the stories of his grandfather and wants to bring back the old days of pirating, but now that's impossible with all these zombie ships burning and plundering. His grandfather used to have a nautical compass that would come in handy, but it was lost during one of the zombie plunderings, most likely taken away by the zombies. He hears of Maxilo and goes to him for help, but he's since disappeared. Later, Maxilo turns out to be a zombie himself who is too lazy for the plundering. Etc...
I'm sure we can come up with a great idea to build a MI-like game. There's great minds in here. Let's brainstorm!
