I'm disappointed that the 'Rusty Venture' still has no entry on urban dictionary.

I'm... not entirely sure why Doe and Cardholder taking over would be bad? I missed something there.

Am I right in thinking that the ambiguity of where the show is headed means they're probably shopping it around? Venture Bros could probably be a good fit for FX, and they almost certainly have deeper pockets than Adult Swim.

Either way it would be good for FX I suppose.

"Failure" is the primary motif, not the theme. Themes can't be one word. And just because the writers talked about failure in an interview one time doesn't mean there's not more to the show! Our analysis and enjoyment of the show shouldn't be limited to, "How does this relate in an obvious way to something that's been explicitly stated to us?"

Our analysis and enjoyment of the show shouldn't be limited to, "How does this relate in an obvious way to something that's been explicitly stated to us?" This is pretty much what the creators said. The only reason they have been recently backpeddling on the idea of failure is because fans feel the need to tie the theme into everything. There's still plenty of failure in the show but Doc and Jackson are understandably annoyed at people saying, "So, how does the portal in Triana's closet represent failure?"

In fact I would say "failure" has been more in the background since "The Doctor is Sin" when at the end Rusty says "I really need to get my poo poo together." Since that point, while the characters still experience failure to a certain extent, we do see them succeeding as well. After all, the "spanish fly" did technically work...for a little bit before all the mutating. Earlier this season, they'd apparently worked out all the bugs in the shrink ray when they reduced Hatred in size. Hank passed Hunter and Shore Leave's "tests", and did actually graduate. poo poo, Hank got laid. They're having small victories, but victories nonetheless.

penismightier posted:The animation is just stellar. The animation for Brock jumping off the bike into a run was incredible. Tender Bender posted:On the repeat, the fact that the chick Brock was hooking up with wasn't working with Molotov suggests she was bluffing. Or it might just mean not all of them were assassins. You're reading too much into it. It's simple; Brock is the man and he always gets the girl.

Ensign_Ricky posted:stuff Your avatar got me thinking. It's implied that Kano killed Jonas Venture because he was going to activate the Orb. Later it's discovered that the Orb was already broken back in Lloyd Venture's time. So if Kano did kill Jonas to protect the world from the power of the Orb, it was ultimately all for nothing. I hope nobody ever tells Kano the Orb was already useless, I don't think the dude could take that. ... And then the orb was sent back in time so Brisco County Jr. could find it in the old west.

Ah, but Kano was already a mute-by-choice in Jonas' time, so once the Orb was shown to be a giant useless Macguffin, the whole "Kano killed Jonas" thing gets thrown into question. Also, the Orb in Brisco is waaaaaay bigger than the Venture Orb.

I got the impression he now has V E N T U R D tattoo'd down his body, since he didn't get the D removed, although I could've missed the line where he may have said he got them all removed but not replaced with Venture and just has a big V on his face (edit: and a D on his d).

Hank passed Hunter and Shore Leave's "tests", and did actually graduate. poo poo, Hank got laid. They're having small victories, but victories nonetheless. Through seasons 1-3, Hank and Dean still believed in that promise of a very wholesome world full of adventure. It held them back though. They had no sense of self, they were blind to their father's quiet resentment of them, and had no chance with what they really wanted in life (Friends, girls, careers). Dean finally broke in this finale, but this whole season started with Hank no longer really caring. It's improved his life though. As bad as his relationship was with Rusty early in the season, he's actually had some touching moments with his dad. He had sex. He has a bestfriend. He's actually shown himself to be a fully capable person. I remember one of the writers or producers of The Simpsons explaining on a DVD commentary that one of the core messages of most Simpsons episodes is that, "You're never going to get exactly what you wanted and that's okay." I think something similar runs through Venture Bros. Al is a great example. He's one of the happiest characters on the show and a lot of that has to do with the fact that he's accepted that he's just a pudgy middle-aged gay dude. It even has allowed him to focus on stuff like a cure for AIDS that's infinitely more important than anything any of the other characters have done. So, yeah, people fail, but it's not this extreme cosmic rule that all individuals on the show have to fail at literally everything. There is success in failure.

I thought the last scene was about Dean learning to stand up for himself a bit instead of quietly accepting what everyone around him says.

More like Dean being a petty teenager to a guy who was just trying to be nice to him. Success!
