TwoPair posted:e: ^^^ I don't know, Colbert's probably more just an availability issue/he doesn't want to. Conroy doesn't have much going on in between voicing Batman in some direct-to-DVD videos and games like Arkham Asylum. Just because you don't hear him in cartoons doesn't mean he isn't working. Kevin Conroy does a lot of stage work. Also, the mournful tits dialogue was fantastic.

Colbert has said that doing his own show is exhausting work so I can see why he wouldn't want to really spend a lot of time doing other stuff anymore.

I like how Rusty, as a super scientist, actually was too important to be kidnapped and thus the whole torture thing was completely unnecessary. On the other hand, Sgt. Hatred wasn't cool enough to join the ranks of illustrious henchmen such as the Revenge Society's IT guy and Billy Quizboy.

El Dude posted:Maybe I need to rewatch it, but I think it might have been one of the weakest episodes of season 4 so far. General Treister was great though. I sort of felt this way too. The subplot with Rusty and Hank was the only part that really seemed like it was something that should be happening within the Ventureverse. That being said, it was one of the funniest episodes they've done. It just seemed like they wanted an excuse to get all of the awesome characters together and made the plot up underneath it, which isn't really Venture style. Did they ever explain how that Zeus thing worked, or how Scott managed to organize this whole thing? Using 21 to figure the whole thing out seemed pretty forced too. But I'm also hoping that I'm wrong and that this means at least some changed dynamics between the OSI, the Guild, that 21 will actually somehow make it to #1 and that it wasn't just a way to make Zero mad, and that Ghost Robot is okay.

That was just spectacular. The coke-commercial ending was one of the best done scenes I've seen in a cartoon in forever; the timing, animation, and expressions were just so... beautiful. Outside of that, I think Billy and Pete running away from the fight with Billy saying "I don't want to die!" just slayed me for a good five minutes. Ahhh so perfect. I hope it never ends. dumptruckzzz posted:Did they ever explain how that Zeus thing worked, or how Scott managed to organize this whole thing?

One of the Monarch's other henchmen mentioned back at the beginning of the first half of the season that 21 is basically Henchman 1 now anyway, but he refuses to change his number. He only did it in this episode to make Scott mad. This episode reminded me of Return to the House of Mummies Part II in a lot of ways. It felt really disjointed, and things were barely explained enough to let the story continue. I love this kind of episode.

Wasn't as strong as the first eps, the B-story had legs but wasn't utilized to its max potential and the whole composition felt disjointed in deference of the mystery. Some good banter driven mostly by the General. Publick appears to be the stronger writer out of the gate for the 2nd half, but we'll see.

I wonder if the AS bosses told them to cool it with the pedo jokes, or if they told themselves to cool it after detecting the fan negativity. Because that's been completely absent in these episodes, and Hatred is a better character for it. He'll never rank amongst the funnier characters in the show, but he's better than he was.

I think all this just means its time for hour long episodes, give them enough time to get the whole story out. Actually no, that would probably mean a minimum of 2 years between seasons of 8 episodes, and Jackson and Doc finally getting fed up and quitting. dumptruckzzz fucked around with this message at Sep 27, 2010 around 21:48 |

I thought this episode was a bit meh. It felt more like a bunch of old references loosely tied together with a weak plot. I did think it was funny how deluded Venture was about his children.

To sum up for those that don't watch like us sperglords do: Scott Hall, previously The Monarch's henchman #1, accompanied #21 and #24 on a mission on Spider Skull island. Though #1 proved himself to be extremely capable and bad-rear end, 21 and 24 informed him that he was trying too hard and was being too cliche and so he would likely be killed unless he acted like them. Presumably he met his fate at the hands of Brock Sampson, just as explained by 21/24. It turns out that #1 survived and somehow got the old Capitan Sunshine (the previous generation from the one we saw earlier) to pretend to be Zeus to gather up sidekicks and henchmen. His goal being to exact revenge on 21, and possibly to vent his anger on the other henchmen/sidekicks too. It's all a bit convoluted, but that's the world of Venture Brothers style super-villainy for you.

Well, in this episode we did get a scene where he's getting onto Dean for not looking at porn or whacking it in his room, and Hatred's disappointed in him for not hitting his dad in the balls like Hank's (not actually) doing. Nothing particularly pedophilic, but still vaguely creepy.

I could have sworn I saw a storyboard sequence with voices and everything from before the previous season where Brock was on the road after leaving the Ventures' employ and ran into an out-of-costume 24 at a diner, who explained how he faked his own death. Was that just an idea they scrapped?

This was never confirmed nor denied in the episode itself, but frankly, it's funny either way. The later appearance by the "retired" Wonderboy certainly lends credence to the "is a pedophile" interpretation. Let the record show that he can't even get an erection unless he's tied to a chair with a time bomb strapped to his chest.

Good Lord I didn't think it could be any clearer that Sunshine was NOT a pedophile and that was the entire punchline to the "he's a pedophile!" setup of that episode, but I guess other people have interpreted it differently. Loved the latest episode, especially Rusty finally (unknowingly) telling Hank that he really does love him and sees a lot of himself in him.
