Hey guys, I haven't watched this ever and I know this isn't exactly the best thread to get a impartial opinion, but how good is this show and why would you recommend it to me?

>>79678875
>>79678999
I was a little disappointed
And considering it's 8 episodes with no payoff I'm a little pissed
But, I think it will pay off all together

>>79679089
Yes
Because it's awesome for 13 years running

>>79678999

i loved the shit out of that episode

i guess im a massive fanboy

but theyve never let me down, been years injecting these fucks right into my veins

Awesome ep.
I like seeing Brock and Hatred become buddy buddy and seeing Dean (seemingly) over his douche phase.

>>79679116
It was a little week but good for the lore and they put a shit load of effort into the stop motion segment

>>79679149

I loved this episode, I know a lof of people do too.

Very slow episode.

Slowest episode in the series?

It felt like nothing happened.

>>79677054
>>79679224
Why did this shit take so long today?
I hate that I'm being impatient but fuck this is frustrating.

>>79678999
Fuck you, Spanakopita was okay -- And I'm not just saying that because I'm literally wearing the shirt right now.

>>79679224
thank you anon!

>>79679269
"Scene"/"P2P" groups failed to pirate the Eastern Time broadcast, so we had to wait until they pirated the Pacific Time broadcast.

I remember some episodes where the release groups completely forgot about Venture Bros and it took days for the new episode to show up. This show kinda flies under the radar.

>>79678999
Those are trips of lies. Spanakopita is a good episode.

>>79679089
Yes, it's very good. It's a show with an ongoing story, made by an extremely small team of people who do not compromise on quality for anything as trivial as releasing more than ten episodes per decade or believable animation for the first few years. The writing, comedy, voice acting are all very good and the characterisation and character interaction over short- and long timescales are probably the best out of all cartoons.

Astrobase go shirt is... eh this week.

Also having Triana's face on the female shirt gives me a 3d model to work with for her body...

>>79679089
It's the kind of show where watching in order matters, so go start at season one rather than the most recent.

>Hank is fucking dressed like Steve McQueen now

Love it. Anyone kind of feel like the whole tranq-addiction story was just started and stopped really abruptly?

>>79679408
I get the feeling they wanted to end that story in the next episode to give it some breathing room, but decided to dump all the uninteresting stuff in this episode to tie up all the loose ends.

>>79678999

Rusty was sort of adorable in this episode, its rare you see him this happy and he's full of child-like excitement.

I hope the Brock Hatred bro trains continues

>>79679351
Better than that god-awful Destiny shirt. That's my benchmark for the bottom end of the shirt club.

But it's no Rusty's Day Camp shirt...

>>79679578
It's kinda weird. I wonder if doc and hammer forgot hatred was once Brock and hunters superior In the osi or just the characters. I thought it was cool though glad to see hatred leading the security team.

>>79679619
>tfw bought 2 Shallow Gravy shirts, one for normal and one I tore off the sleeves like Hank
I love that shirt

Best moment was the surprise polar bear.

>>79680054

>tacked on

Did anyone else notice the whole cuttlefish thing? I get the feeling wide whale is trying to cuck him for revenge for killing his bro.

>>79680054
Poorly executed, had no punch, something about the timing was off.

>>79680618
When did Venture kill a cuttlefish man?

I really want the venture brothers to get more screen time. They don't seem to be the focus of the show anymore.

>>79680645
The monarch, do you not remember this shit?

>>79680677
Huh, I remembered it as gentle manatees. Odd.

>>79680705
Nah man, you're thinking of what he is.

>>79680721
Well it's a sound theory, research in same thing, manatee brother to a whale man. It works.

>>79680746
Plus Dr. Dugong's real name? Douglas Ong. It's completely confirmed.

>>79680705

>>79680885
>>79680874
>tfw my bullshit theory is right

Well fuck. Should I screencap this or something?

>>79677733
You mean a Ka-bar Brock is like the one operator whose deadlier without guns than with his time with Spinx shows that.

>>79679578
Both are bad asses who at the end of the day love the Ventures the fact they can put guild/OSI stuff aside for the greater good is one of the strongest parts of the episode. Plus I loved Hatreds arc not where else is someone like Hatred gonna get redemption
>>79679627
>>79680645
Oh shit! He does want to cuck arch the Monarch.

>>79678999
I agree with you for this episode but Spanikopita was great.

>>79680874
I'm so happy about this. Dr. Dugong was one of my favorite one-shot (heh) villians, and Wide Whale reminded me of him. Gotta say, this revelation alone made the episode worth it, plus it got Pete and Billy to NY.

>>79681015
What is it about the Ventures that Brock and Hatred love?

>>79681174

Don't forget it also gave us bro-ing Brock and Vatred and the hope that Ventech might not file bankruptcy by the end of the season.

>>79681174
Weirdly, Dr. Dugong was a guild-sanctioned super scientist, Monarch was assigned to arch him. That means Dugong must have turned good at some point and left the Guild.

So does the Monarch's parent's house having a lair in it confirm that they were villians (and probably arching Jonas Sr?). Feels like that would make the most sense for him being obsessed with Rusty.

I hope the Pirate Captain stays on board, it's always fun to see weird side characters suddenly upgrade to main cast.

>>79681228
You're totally right. I always think of the Monarch as a protag, so I forgot that Dugong was on the side of good. That makes Wide Whale's heel turn make even more sense.

>>79681234
It strongly reminded me of the Batcave, I'm thinking they were Batman-styled vigilantes, maybe allies of the original Team Venture.

So I was taking a crap and it came to me. What killed Jonas Venture was the Investors. The Investors were not new but likely millenia old in their affairs. Jonas' desperate call of love to Rusty indicated he knew his time was up, it was all coming to an end. Jonas had fame, money, all the pussy a man could want and 50% extra, the life of an adventurer/spy, and super science like no other. Jonas was a virtual god. I'm also betting Jonas was not born with that large stature and a dick so mighty it could traumatize children for decades. Look at Rusty, look at what is probably going to be his other son the Monarch. Both are of a slender frame. Or take JJ, twins are absorbed because they're weak and look at his cancerous final days. Look at Dr. Qynummy. She is also a bit of a let down, desperate enough to fuck Rusty, and having a severe seizure disorder. Jonas was not shooting the best DNA.

>>79681234
That house is the orphanage he grew up in tho

>>79681628

No, it's is Mansion from before the plane crash.

This episode was too chaotic imo. Season one episodes could be recaped in a single sentence. "Venture family meets the Impossibles"; "Venture family goes to their space station."

This could only be summarized as "Billy and Pete fight their archenemy. Monarch and Henchman 21 attempt to win back the arching rights of Venture. The Venture family tries to fix their company."

I like the Greece episode a lot because it felt like one of the older episodes. A single plot episode essentially.

>>79682386
>Billy and Pete fight their archenemy

This was required for the build up in the next episode where Billy and Pete will start working for ventures and with their tech help them face Wild Wale

>That scene in the end with Monarch

>>79681174
>>79681228
dugong was never part of the guild. he was always a super scientist doing good, it was wide wale that joined the guild by himself in the 80s. one brother was good, the other became bad. hatred say "HE" not "THEY"

You are doing good work, and should feel good as a human being.

>>79682430
Was I the only one who thought the last minute sale of Conjectural Technologies was tacked on? Couldn't they have done more with it if Billy and White went to work at Ventech and later all their contributions to super science get remanded to the custody of Augustus and the Guild by some legal precedent or the like? Billy and White already had no where to go, and no friends except Rusty, it was a logical choice for them to go to Ventech palms out and hungry for work.

I suppose the legal scenario could still take place under some kind of legal nonsense as part of the sale of CT.

>>79679351
>>79679619
Anyone have a list of last season's shirts?
I can't remember half of them.

>>79679089
yes, but keep in mind when watching the first season that it gets better, I wasn't into it at the start but i love it now. Season 2 is where it really took off for me

>>79679089
The show has one of the most unique types of humor there is.

The main character is Rusty, who essentially is a parody of Jonny Quest. Then the ACTUAL JONNY QUEST shows up. The character that is parodied ends up in the very parody. This isn't the only time something like this happens. There's a parody of the Fantastic Four called the Impossibles. They end up winning best costume at a Halloween party for dressing up as the Fantastic Four.

Venture Bros., from my point of view, is basically /co/: the show (less tumblr than /co/ is).

post theories, about anything

The original Hank and Dean are still alive. They live with their mother. They are about 23.

Rusty couldn't handle having his kids taken away so he cloned them.

The mother is the true antagonist of the show and the original Hank and Dean work for her.

Holy Christ

Vendata is The Monarch's father.

>Going by other recent theories, the Monarch's father was a vigilante of sorts, an expy of Green Hornet it seems.

Jonas didn't die.
He left to become Secret President.

So what was the deal with the red ball exactly? I mean it didn't really have powers. Was Billy just being a sperg?

Also does anyone else think Whale's henchmen have stupid uniforms?

>>79687443
Low power level henching.

>>79687443

I think the better question is if doctor girlfriend fucked Whale

>>79687544
You're kidding right?

>>79687443
They're sea lice. What do you want them to wear?

>>79679278

>>79686227
Rusty, Monarch, and The Pirate Captain are half brothers.

>>79687544

I don't think she would have betrayed the monarch in that matter. There must be a twist to the whole deal, no doubt

>>79686227
-Vendata being Monarchs dad
-The Orb still having some unbelievable power and will play some key part in the overarching mythology
-Whatever god entity the Investors and Killinger are will definitely play a huge part, possibly a balance of good and evil ideology as was hinted at by his quoting Shakespeare in season 3 (and General Manhowers referencing the Bible thereafter)

How the fuck do phantom limb's limbs work

why did he need prosthetics while he was putting together the revenge society

>>79687802
hell, add Billy into that mix too

>>79688019
Some of his invisible limbs got blown off during the Season 2 Finale. Later, he grew them back using the machine that gave him invisible limbs in the first place.

>>79687724
Man I dunno, suits and lice masks? Whale looks like a classy businessman so the idiots in plastic lice armor really clash with him

>>79687702

No, as a matter of fact. Dr Girlfriend didn't act like a slut in all of these seasons only but for the monarch

>>79688196
He's a bit more of a colorful villain than say, Monstroso, so it makes sense for him to have goofy ass looking henchmen.

>>79683628
>>79686511
wrong, the quote Hatred said was:
"When the Ong Brothers joined the guild in '87..."

>>79688048
Given Rose's actions on Gargantua 2, why not.

So, Rusty, Monarch, Pirate Captain, and Billy are Half-Brothers via Jonas Venture, Sr.

>>79689119
Pretty sure he says "One of the" instead of "When the", albeit very fast.

If you listen to the rest of the quote, "When the Ong Brothers joined the guild in '87, ruthless", it doesn't make any sense

>>79688567
What if it's a creepy powerplay.
Like he brings in these badass Well Trained mercs, lays out a bunch of money on the table and says, I want you to dress like a Lobster themed villain from a bad Power Rangers knockoff.
And then they do it.

Is St. Cloud just some lazy excuse for the writers to shove in references up the ass?

>>79690474
This is why I liked this episode. The first of the season had me fearing he was going to shit all over himself, but now he might actually sustain the company.

>>79690474
I loved that scene, and not just because it looks like he's going to stay out of the poor house.

I guess that's Rusty to a core - he's trying to live up to this image of his father that he both admires and resents, but without the basic practicality to achieve that. When he predictably fails to achieve his grand vision, he becomes depressed and everything falls to shit.

Sea Captain, you are the best.

>>79690474
>>79691182
I still want Rusty to be a bad super scientist. All the money in the world can't make him better at inventing.

I want the pirate captain to stay clean

>>79691260
Pete and Billy getting bought by Venture probably means Rusty is gonna gather super scientists to actually do inventing under one roof.

>>79691260
he invented the joy can, brought a man back as a zombie-man, and made the OOO Ray. dr. venture is good at super science only when it's morally wrong super science, which is why Henry Killinger thinks he'd be a better super villain.

>>79691388
Will my doughy German Mary Poppins husbando be back?

>>79691388
Or what if Killinger knew Rusty would turn him down? He just had to show Rusty how close he was to being a bad guy.

>>79681200
Brock's been with them since the twins were toddlers. You're bound to bond with them emotionally in that much time.

Hatred originally loved the Ventures just to spite the Monarch for stealing his shit. Who knows why now, though.

Monarch likes him though.

I'm watching the episode now. I don't get why they don't just look for the ball themselves.

>You will never have a 24 to your 21

>Wale is Dugong's brother

I had wondered if that guy would come back in some way. Wonder if Wale's acquisition of arching Rusty was part revenge for what Monarch did.

>>79692114

He was also in a bad place since his wife left him, actually NTR'd him. The man was starved for attention, and since Princess Tinyfeet was his crutch against young boys, he wound up playing den mother to the Venture twins after Brock left.

>what with there being a new guild or whatever,

I wouldn't exactly call it a new guild. They're just filling the empty voids of the guild hierarchy the Sovereign made.

>>79690664

It could work. The creators did say they wanted to start showing some measure of success with the characters now instead of just endless failure

>>79696601

>>79686227
>Monarchs parents are doing SOMETHING secret with the lair
>Baby Monarch sees the lair, they go to Jonas Sr for a mindwipe, which he does
>Pic of Rusty and Monarch is right after the mindwipe, Rusty being a spoiled brat probably stole Monarchs toy or something
>Monarch could possibly hate Rusty for a childhood dick move that snowballed into arching

>>79679203
Is it me or did St. Cloud actually do them a favor.

>>79686227

The batcave Monarch finds reveals what really happened. His parents were killed by members of the Guild, who may have also been the real reason Jonas Sr. died.

Thus, the Monarch becomes an assassin not because of an overreaction to the Guild not respecting him, but to avenge his family for the life that was taken from him.

>>79682386
The issue is the episode limitations, If we had a larger sized season it would have covered the same content but we would have had less sub plots per episode.

Either he was unaware that him and Rusty are good friends which wouldn't make sense since he saw them at Spanikopita together.Or he wanted to gloat over flipping a penny into a million dollars, or he just wanted the money and was fine with having humiliated Billy that once

When is the Christams Special set? I mean it was made after the Season 1 finale but the brothers are still alive though.

>>79698364

Before trial of the monarch.

Is it just me or is Brock planting death flags all over the place? Acting weirdly happy, not loading his gun out of some misplaced sense of pride... this might be the end for him.

>>79699076

He's hardly ever used guns, and it's not like he was depressed, just either on edge most of the time or restless because of whatever new shit Doc was making him do.

His little getaway from the Venture family pretty much gave him a chance to reassess things and get his head back in the game

Did anyone else think the gun Brock had was brought up a lot?

>>79681621
Yeah, and the fact Billy is also probably his kid, and maybe the Monarch (His eyebrows and whatever else goofy shit he's got) if this is true, then JV SR was probably a much more capable phantom limb type, who in turn used his powers for good.

>>79699264
I don't really know where you're getting it from other than maybe the "when was the last time you went to the zoo" but the implication was pretty clear he got the idea to steal a polar bear.
>>79699737
I think the point is to show maybe that OSI is forcing him to take things seriously.

>>79699811
He was also being cute with Shore Leave and Sergeant Hatred in the same episode, and also playing pranks on Wide Whale

Hypothesis: Monarch's dad was a Batman-style vigilante and reserve member of Team Venture. He will become a vigilante, killing or disabling the Rusty arches on the list ahead of him.

When Wide Wale finds out Monarch killed his brother, shit hits the fan.

Bonus points if Wale goes through Guild procedure and becomes Monarch's new arch.

And some deleted scenes in her debut episode made the allusions a bit stronger.

>>79691302
he was off the wagon for, like, half an episode. i dont even know why they bothered doing it in the first place. I think they're keeping him clean now. We've seen that what haunts him is the people he's failed that he cared about, so now we're probably gonna see him give it his all.

>>79701869
The season 4 finale would have been a good series finale.
I'm glad it didn't end, because I still enjoy watching the show, but you're right... it's not as amazing as it once was.

>>79677054
Why did it take everyone so long to see this ep?

I watched a rip of this Sunday after it aired.

So the running idea is that blue 'Green Hornet' is the Monarch's dad. His wife dies in a plane crash while also believing his son perished too. Turns him into Vendetta and then somewhere along the way he dies. Then his friend Jonas Sr. makes him into Vendetron. So is that about it? Man that guy had a rough life.

Remember the first Season 6 promo? The one where Watch and Ward (love those guys) warn you about the guy killing villains who looks like Doc? I think it could be the Monarch. This episode gave him a motive to kill villains, to get back to arching Venture. Would he turn to murdering his fellow villains?

>>79700463
Plus her "dad" was a homo and Dr venture sr was a swinger.

But the BEST part is when they come up with stuff they actually use during the commentaries.
>>79702418

Where can I find the dvd commentarys online?

Do you think Sheila knows that she and her husband killed Wide Wale's bro?

>>79705653
Probably in his file.

>>79687841
She should have given Monarch a seat on the Council to keep him happy.

Doctor Girlfriend should know by now that if he's not allowed to arch Venture, bad shit happens. Give him some power/a seat on the council (there are like 5-6 openings!) and that would let her keep an eye on him and probably soothe Monarch's ego enough for him to let go of Rusty and not make trouble.

Yes, Killinger will probably have a huge cow but hey! There is your new storyline for Sheila (Killinger not liking her going against him and giving Monarch a council seat) and there would be talk and whispers about it being nepotism, but hey they can have Doctor Girlfriend justify it by claiming Monarch's roll in stopping Phantom Limb's coup alone justifies giving him a council spot.

>>79705860
Monarch kills his men willy-nilly and despises Phantom Limb for being his ex-boss and for fucking Sheila without his consent. Let him on the council and he'll be dead within a week after killing half of the not-13 for startling him.

This episode with him discovering the cave is probably how he becomes the blue guy murdering villains, using all that old pulp gear.

>>79706028
They could get some mileage out of Phantom Limb and Monarch being forced to work together and eventually becoming friends.

Also, they could go the angle of Monarch actually being GOOD at being the head of a super-villain cartel and have Sheila become jealous because her husband has found his niche and she no longer has the position of being the "competent one" of the pair.

>>79706335
I remember listening to the commentary for S1-3 and hating them. Doc and Chris are just terrible to listen to sometimes. IIRC, they didn't really say anything funny or interesting. To be fair, I had just listened to the Futurama commentaries and those were awesome, so I had high hopes.

Haven't listened to the other seasons, but yeah.

>>79703228

Zero.

I was really impressed he got out of his relapse so quickly. They could have easily have had it lasted the entire season, but they didn't.

I don't know, Sheila actually enjoys when the Monarch is competent as well, like when he "crushed" Doctor Venture.

>>79706592

>>79682430
>This was required for the build up in the next episode where Billy and Pete will start working for ventures
Not required at all and could really use some Checkov's Gun (the REAL Checkov's gun: "remove everything that is superfluous to the plot")

Doc could have bought Conjectural Technologies directly, WITHOUT having to go through St Cloud.

That entire plotline was done for comedy, but it wasn't funny. They could have spent that time with more hwhacky drug addict pirate jokes.

>>79707588

It was plenty funny. Despite the three being all giddy about becoming part of the costume adventuring, Billy and Pete, and St. Cloud are just a trio of geeks goofing around compared to the likes Rusty deals with. And that's saying something given now Rusty has to deal with a serious 10 on the villain scale for once

I do wonder where Orpheus is staying now. Did every building in the compound go up in smoke, or just the main building and those by it? Because if the further ones didn't burn, he might shack up in there like Hunter and SPHINX did.

Though I could see him winding up in Outrider's house for a few weeks.

>Tries to dote on Triana once more while Outrider and Tatyana just let her do whatever
>Has to deal with hearing Outrider and Tatyana going at it at 3 in the morning
>More annoyed by the fact that Triana's room is nearby and exposing her to their "noises"

>>79707660
We already know this from an entire five seasons of seeing how geeky they are and how inept the Monarch is.

A recap consisting of "these guys sold all of their assets in exchange for a red rubber ball" is redundant, and personally I didn't find it funny at all, just boring. "Oh he's using a hand puppet to wash his groin/butt, hilarious."

>>79707719
Orpheus is one of the few characters in the series that actually has gainful employment. He could probably find an apartment anywhere.

If there's a takeaway from this episode, it's "you can't live on your father's/brother's money forever, you have to get a job."

>>79707812

Never know though. Wasn't he staying at the compound since Rusty wasn't charging as much as some places?

>>79707799

It gave them some spotlight, even if it wasn't t hat relevant to the main plot until the end.

The concept of falilure has been an overarching theme through every season.
This season though, is looking different.
If you look at how things are going, even in the first 3 episodes, it appears that we may finally have a season where the Ventures achieve, ACTUAL, great things.

So many fucking archs in this show.

>>79707915

Eh, they've been showing some measure of success with certain characters here and there all the time. Monarch's life was practically rising from the end of season 2 until the end of 5.

>Reconciled with the love of his life, marrying her
>Became partners instead of the boss and his #2
>Got a nice house in a gated community
>One of his most incompetent henchmen turned himself into a professional, as far as more henches go
>Wife started to get into the higher echelons of their group

Hell, the only real failures are the strain Mrs. Monarch's responsibilities have put on their relationship, and Monarch losing all but one of his henchmen to a freak cocoon fire.

And depending on how you look at it, Brock taking a break from babysitting helped him regain the zest for "crazy, mind-blowing weirdness" he had been kind of losing interest in late into season 2 and through a chunk of 3.

>>79707998
>>79707915
Yeah, people can't distinguish between "theme" and "constant eventuality." The show can have the theme of failure without everybody failing all the time.

Almost everyone on the show is mostly-successful.

>>79708034

I would say Doc was in a gradual tumble. He was pretty much just skirting by on the military hardware or whatever he did while trying to hawk his inventions. And it does seem like the whole costumed villainy/arching biz was stagnating, which is likely why "Bowie" decided to blow the whole thing for a kick.

>>79698006
Like any good arch-nemesis he knows that if he completely destroys Billy it'll be the end of their relationship. He still won but provided Billy with some hope that things will get better so that he can knock him down again.

>>79679408
Hes a heroin addict. That isn't the kind of shit that just goes away after withdrawal. I doubt this is the last we see of the Sea captain jonesing for his fix

>>79708169

Do have to wonder if he'll try to bother Rusty with his crap. I'd imagine he might almost step on Wale's toes, since we can assume Billy and Pete are now going to live in the new building. Though of course, Wale might very well bust Cloud's ass if he does anything to bother Venture/violate the arching laws

I really hope the Monarch gets what he deserves.

This scene has always rubbed me the wrong way. A lot of people are a part of the Guild and the super science community as a hobby. The Monarch and Phantom Limb are the only true villains I feel. The Monarch doesn't even care to have the Guild in arching Venture. Where as all the villains are assigned someone to arch, the Monarch's arching is probably the only personal one.

Dr. Dugong seemed like one of those people who was just having fun with everything. He was presented as childlike, sweet and naive ("I have a tank full of gentle cuttlefish"). Definitely did not deserve to die.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eICyqjtsizo

>>79708069
I think Bowie was smelling The Investors about to make a move and decided to make a move himself.

>>79708434
It's implied all the time that this arching thing is dangerous and leads to violent death.

Sgt Hatred killed all of The Monarch's henchmen (except 21). The Guild has helicopters and assassins and whatnot. OSI operatives have a license to kill.

Dr Dugong had it coming.

Anyway none of this "universe" makes sense because all these paramilitary organizations exist while the actual government and the actual military exist too. So the government lets all this killing happen and does nothing about it.

It'd be more believable if the Guild and OSI and whatnot had a strict "no killing or maiming" policy, but that would lower the stakes so much to make it literally a LARP society.

>>79708574
>helicopters
fighter helicopters

>>79706335
does that artist not know Wolverine is 5'3?

>>79708574
Remember, back during the pyramid wars the guild was still completely unknown to OSI. I think for the most part they keep their shit subdued, or at least kill all the talkers.

>>79704405
Get out of here, Brock.

>>79703228

His whole addiction recovery-part in the last episode could've been replaced with something else IMHO.

>>79709017
This makes zero sense (but most of the stuff on the shoe doesn't make sense anyway)

You might have some rich crazy bastards running personal armies, but covertly. The Monarch has openly killed several people and openly shot tranquillizer darts into several more people, this isn't the sort of thing normal governments put up with.

Which means either the US government in the Venture universe is incredibly corrupt - taking kickbacks from the Guild that even killing and assaulting innocent people is ignored on all levels - or it's incredibly inept and can't even arrest The Monarch.

We get to see a hint of this in Momma's Boys, where the police hand over Hank and 21 to an asylum because 21 cites some Guild byline.

>By Guild of Calamitous Intent [memo?] 28 3 21 M H, we are both clearly obsessively insane and we demand a Guild representative to take us to Duwich asylum.

The police acknowledges and respects Guild rulings, which means this is all legal (or corrupt)

Hunter Gathers and the other OSI boss seem to suggest this is all legal too (or the corruption goes all the way up to the President and the Secret President.)

Which means the police and other law enforcement give fuck-all about private armies and innocent people getting killed.

>>79710049
Remember the original guild had some of the most influential people of the day in it. Chances are the guild is basically intertwined so deeply with the governments of the world that they can't expose or remove them without causing irreparable damage to themselves. In the last big special OSI seemed to be tasked with simply observing them to make sure they didn't go crazy.

>>79710049
Oh and Phantom Limb's grandfather (?) founded the Guild (during Teddy Roosevelt's presidency?) which kind of makes sense because "super science" was really coming into its own in the early 20th century.

So the government goes "okay we got mad scientists running around everywhere, maybe we can form a union and let them do their thing under certain conditions" which doesn't work for me, since this means the government accepts that people can openly murder one another.

>>79710105
This works for covert corruption (like in China) but out-and-out killing people is a very hard pill to swallow.

>>79710156
Maybe the theme of failure is just a individual focused thing but that the setting as a whole is a failure. In the Venture universe, the patients are running the asylum. It's a totally upside down world that kind of still somehow finds a way to function.

Your question makes me think would Killinger be considered evil or good?

>>79715471
I'm not sure it would be as accurate to categorize him in that sense, maybe more in the lawful sense (though he is clearly affiliated with evil). Him keeping an order to things doesn't automatically make him good though.

>>79691997
>>79692077
>>79712978
I hope there's a scene of him happily playing with Cuttlefish, maybe even suggesting someone else play with it for its therapeutic affects.
>>79715280
Outright Evil was probably the Investors, still living probably Moltov. Good probably Dean and Hank.
>>79715471
Killinger is simply an agent of self-actualization, evil and good have no meaning to him. He wants to help people be the best villains they can be or help them realize they're not villains at all. Either way, super nice guy.
Though putting Venture characters into neat little good and evil boxes is mostly useless since good and evil has more or less been turned part game part business, the parts that aren't just play fighting the great moral struggle are ridiculously grey. Hunter has and will unashamedly ruin innocent lives for what he thinks is the greater good.

>>79715544
I feel so torn about Killinger. I want to see more of him but I also don't want to lose the mystery around him that makes him so great.

>>79715662
The mystery surrounding him would probably be final season stuff, if they decide to touch on it at all.

>>79715629
>or help them realize they're not villains at all
I fully believe that's what he was doing with Rusty. Even if he wasn't originally written for that to be the case, it would make so much more sense.

>>79715280
The Monarch. Every other villain seems to be doing this for enjoyment. The Monarch is a villain because of pure hatred. He just doesn't seem to be outright evil because he's too much of a joke.

Dean gave prior Guild leader his title officially. With him gone does Dean have a shot at involvement in Guild related leadership position?

>>79717262
That's dumb reasoning. "Enjoyment" can still include malevolence and malice, and Monarch's hatred extends mainly to Rusty, is mostly the equivalent of a schoolyard rivalry, and even then he's pretty lax in that hatred half the time.

>>79706107
This could actually be the Monarchs father in his suit, a kind of green hornet/dick Tracey type guy, which would make sense, with his tons of money and under ground layer. Who's to say he doesn't have a side kick like Kano that could be 24

>>79717903
Nah Monarch is a generally hateful person, his hatred doesn't extend to very few people, like his wife, his dead cat, and maybe Gary.

Man, more 80ies music references? We get it, you're old!

>>79680966
Brock would be deadlier if he used Guns, Gary and the other butterflies even said that was an issue when Hatred took over the role since he actually shot them and they had no body armour.

The hell you say?

He might be referring to the special.

>>79714629
>Turns out the Rusty that we assumed was from another dimension, is the future version of our Rusty.
>So Rusty almost killed himself.

>>79707915
>>79720108
I think he's counting the special as the first episode.
Though really if you looked at the last two seasons there's been different successes and wins.

>>79720279
Hell, Rusty went from trying (and failing) to hire illegal immigrants, to hiring college interns, to inheriting JJ's business ventures. There's definitely been an upward swing to the whole series.

>>79720506
I wonder if Manolo is one of those illegals.

>>79708526

I thought they said something like he was collaborating with them, but doing things more in his own way instead of being totally submissive to them

>>79720704
Their bit seems to be "make a deal" then down the line they murder the fuck out of you/take something so they can use it in another deal.
King Gorilla signed away his heart so he could die on the outside. Or maybe they gave him cancer in the first place

>>79720807

That was probably the smoking

>>79716044

Somehow I doubt they'll ever truly answer everything about him. Hell, the most we learned in the season 6 premiere special is that he's not the only of his kind, or even remotely human.

>>79691997
It was stated in that scene that they were brothers. Christ you people are dense

>>79723537

They didn't Dugong, you fucking mong. But yea, it's pretty clear what they were getting at.

>>79723877
>>79723537
Not literally stated but with some knowledge it's obvious.
Especially since it's stated somewhere in earlier episodes his name is Doug Ong.

>>79723928

True, but we didn't know he had a brother back then. Or at least, it wasn't stated his brother was one of the most famous villains alive.

Still, wish some people would stop being cunts over people not getting everything right away. This kind of shit borders on the levels of obnoxious Dark Souls fans

>>79714545
Yeah you should reread that and probably the tread too, Dr. Dogong was Wide Wales brother Monarch killed him

>>79723928
>>79723877
Shore Leave says, "In the 80's he worked with his brother Doug trying to find a cure for cancer in cuttlefish DNA" at the 13:40 mark

>>79679578
Realized I hate Hatred a lot less when he's not replacing Brock

>>79724306

Yes, DOUG. Not Dugong.

>>79679627

That was nearly 20 years ago. The man clearly fell on hard times, even before becoming Rusty's arch during season 3. Hell, he probably wasn't even a 6 or 7 given Rusty barely acknowledged his attempts, and his henchmen just seemed slightly more competent than the murderflies.

>>79686227
Killinger's refusal of a Council seat to The Monarch was to push Monarch down the road of his destiny: to uncover the truth about his past and parents, prove his skill via triumphing over the best the Guild has to offer as the villain-killer, and eventually take his rightful place as the Guild's new Sovereign (I mean Monarch and Sovereign basically mean the same thing, and Meteor Majeur has the stylized M theme going on in its Council room.)

As the Sovereign, the Monarch will be perfectly placed to make outrageous archings against the still 'top client' Rusty Venture, who is now supersciencing with the money from his brother's Angry Birds business model, succesfully ran by the Captain. Rusty and the Monarch's relationship will become the focal point for the war between the Guild and the OSI.

Also, St. Cloud on the Council.

On a tangent: I could go for a whole episode of literally nothing but St. Cloud mocking the Quizboy.

>>79706107
What scenes are these shots from?

>>79726135

While I'm not too sure about Malcolm taking the role of Sovereign, especially after Sheila and the others decided to abolish the concept, the idea of Killinger denying him a seat to essentially lead him to the not-Batcave is a fun possibility.

>>79727030
>especially after Sheila and the others decided to abolish the concept,

Doesn't necessarily prevent Monarch or someone else from strong arming them.

>>79727776

I don't know, they seem pretty set on it and probably aren't going to let some just take control since most of the guild is envious and would break into a fight if one attempted to just jump the ranks like that.

Though I could see it that they place Monarch in control when they realized the Guild just isn't the same without a figurehead, and they let him take the position because most of the guild hardly acknowledges him

>>79728008
>probably aren't going to let some just take control since most of the guild is envious and would break into a fight if one attempted to just jump the ranks like that.

Well that's kinda what I was getting at. The Guild is in a tenuous position, what with them trying to figure out who to bring onto the Council, and trying to re-establish themselves, so power plays could crop up. Monarch could get drawn in and emerge top dog. Would also feed into potential GoT references, if Hammer and Publick even still care about that. Though it would be difficult ground to cover with such short seasons now.

>>79728008
>they place Monarch in control when they realized the Guild just isn't the same without a figurehead, and they let him take the position because most of the guild hardly acknowledges him

Although, yea, this is way more likely to happen.

>>79724530
It is stated his last name is Ong.

>Doug Ong
>Dugong

It's a pun.

>>79728818

And yet people can understandably fucking miss it

>>79726161
The two of the background character are from the episode 'Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman' and the wanted poster and car are from season 6 teasers.

>Rewatching Return to Malice
>Get to the scene where the Moppets try to threaten The Monarch
You know, you never really think it, but Monarch's pretty damn hardcore.

>>79731072

Really wonder if the Moppets are truly dead. I know they said they were, but we've seen characters return after being "mentioned" as dead

>>79731072
remind me what happens?

>>79733185
He tries to leave the house, and they're standing outside with knives trying to threaten them. He says something to the effect of
>"I'm only going to say this once: I don't like you two, and if you EVER try to give me an order again, I will personally kill you two and feed you to the neighbourhood cats"
and they both let him pass.

>>79680618
I came in here to see if anyone else thought he wanted revenge for Dr. Dugong

>>79732697
Nobody liked them.
Not the fans.
Not Jackhammer.
If anything I think it was just a reason to write them out of the show because they didn't like them nor did they have any plans past "they're midget creeps."
Though they died off screen, followed by a big explosion. So if Doc and Jackson get any ideas they're easy to resurrect but until then they're probably hanging out with Kim trying to fix the ORB.

>>79734290
If no one liked them, how the hell did they last two/three seasons?

>>79734331
I believe they put it as they weren't sure if people hated to love them, loved to hate, or just hated them.

>>79734331
One season to learn nobody liked them, another to get them the fuck out of there. Seems pretty simple. I mean they were barely in their second season and they had the only character who liked them say she was getting fed up with their shit.
Then they died.

>>79734290

Plenty of people thought they were funny

I figured the Moppets were supposed to be kind of off-putting so I wasn't sad when they died but I can understand their purpose.
