Publick: "This show... If you'll permit me to get 'big

>>90412641
You really don't get it?

>>90412641
>MUH FAILURE
Thanks for reminding me why this show became garbage. They went too far up their own asses and forgot the comedy and pathos made everything up to season 4 enjoyable.

>>90412674
Apparently not
Enlighten me

>>90412738
They said the theme was failure back in season 2, which was one of the (imo) best seasons.

>>90412641
Faikure doesn't always mean that you are bad at something. Brock failed a relationship with Molotov Cocktease. 21 failed to save his best friend. Hank may even be the reverse where, despite being dubbed a failure at everything, could actually end up being awesome and surpass his self-loathing father just by being Hank, with Dean being the failure despite being coddled to be great.

>>90413042
*Failure

I typed too fast

>>90412738
Actually this is from pretty early on. They've since said that they moved on from that.

>>90412738
In 2013, Publick and Hammer have discussed moving away from the theme and embracing the "successes" of the characters as well.

>move away from failure theme after s4
>blame failure for everything sucking after s4
Publick: I think you and I are both sick of every interview mentioning the “It’s a show about failure” from five years ago. I don’t think we made a conscious effort to fight that or anything, but every year, we push what we do as writers a little more. An area we hadn’t gone into very much was positivity. I mean, all our victories are still satiric, but there are definitely places where we said, “I want to see these guys do something. I don’t want to just have everything fall on its face all the time.[13]

>>90413074
Hank is likely the personification of "beauty in failure".

>>90413083
What has he failed at?

The ambiguity of value
The want to succeed versus the need to be satisfied
The existential crisis of aging

>Not liking seasons 5 and 6

The show has been costiently great since the end of season 1. While you might not like them as much as the previous seasons, I don't understand the people who dismiss seasons 5 and 6 like if those seasons were bad or awful.

>>90412641
That's an old quote, and they've moved forward a bit from that.

That said, you are taking too literal a definition. If they failed at everything, they would choke to death while trying to eat.
Brock might be the hottest shit secret agent you could find, yet he's assigned to being Rusty's bodyguard.
21 is a henchman for the Monarch.
How is that not being failures?

>kills anyone trying to arch Venture
If he kills The Monarch I drop this show

>>90413897
This.

>>90413915
The monarch is no threat so he is safe.

>>90413915
The Blue Morpho story arc is so fucking good that I seriously hope they don't go back to being The Monarch and Henchmen 21 and they just stay as The Blue Morpho Kano for the remainder of the series.

>>90413897
I feel like the latter two seasons, while good, don't live up to the earlier ones.

I can't put my finger on why, but one of the reasons I don't like them is because they handled Dean poorly. They set him on a good path with his angst (while still showing his more caring and empathetic side), then ignore him for most of the season. Hank says he's happy about being cloned, and Dean's attitude changes back to normal and there are no more issues.

Then come season 6, his angst is still gone, and he's back to his naive (but still smart) self. And he's still barely explored because his university life is barely touched, and he's been shoved into the background even further.

>>90414334
I don't mind that too much because I never liked Dean. I used to dislike Hank too but he got a lot better.

>>90414295

It's unreal, it's like the most fun I've seen the Monarch have EVER and he'ss not even arching Venture.

>>90414535
>Monarch is going to realise he doesn't need Venture next season

Why didn't he just move the table closer to the plug
It even had wheels

thank god season 7 is coming soon

>>90417256
>soon
you mean January 2018 soon or 2019 soon?

>>90414334
Maybe Dean will surpass his father by getting a degree in something mundane and living a good average middle class life.

>>90417276
>he expects it this decade
See you in 2023

>>90416731
Hindsight.

>>90414334
Yeah. This always slightly bothered me because I feel like I'm one of the few people who prefers Dean over Hank (Still like Hank though). I guess they wanted to focus the majority of the season on the Monarch, which is fine. My biggest complaint is that the last episode of season 6 didn't really feel like closure in the slightest. Season 5 was also really short but the last episode of that season at least tied a few things up (Ending the whole Dean clone drama, Billy finding his mom, etc).

"My name is Killinger, Doctor Henry Killinger, and you just read this in my voice"

>>90418539
Even the showrunners have admitted that Season 6 ended on the wrong episode. If they could have gone back, they'd have ended it with the episode where Dr. Ms. The Monarch nearly assassinates Dr. Venture because it felt more conclusive to the season than the episode it actually ended on.

>>90412641
they've gone back on this theme of failure after people kept questioning them about this every year

>>90420012
Oh I didn't know that. That episode would've been a more fitting finale.

>>90412641
neat
