Renzuko posted:Why does Sargent hatred have breasts? I think they're meant to be side-effects of taking the drug he agreed to test when he joined the OSI to be the Ventures' bodyguard, which curves his cravings towards Hank and Dean. It's called "Nomolestol" or something.

Great episode, even if only for the revelation that L. Ron Hubbard is a ghost inhabiting a robot body (Perhaps maybe a connection to that Ghost Robot superhero?) and also a super-villain.

muscles like this? posted:There were 10 episodes for this season but the double length premier counts as two and the Halloween special counts as one more. And I read that the season finale is going to be double length, too. So it gives us roughly 13 episodes, pretty good going.

Well, I had to get the OSI Shirt-Of-The-Week-Club Shirt as I'm still kicking myself for missing out on a Guild of Calamitous Intent when this all started. Even if it does cost me just under £20. Did the guy-in-a-dog-costume just disappear before Bum Rush got killed along with Shuttle Cock, Tank Top and Slap Chop? LashLightning fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Jul 1, 2013 |

Have the Dienamonster or the Slaughter Engine, also products of the project that created Vendata, shown up before? Also, nice to know that Rusty apparently did better with his Venturesteins (i.e. got them into production, even if the military just used them for suicide bombing) than Jonas did with his Weaponise-The-Dead project. Great episode, looking forward to the finale! Edit:  Joseph and His Multicoloured Nightmare Coat! LashLightning fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Jul 15, 2013 |

notZaar posted:The best new OSI guy was Bum Rush, just because was an actual bum with a shopping cart. I burst out laughing when they called him out in the episode. But when we first saw him, he had a guy in a dog suit in his shopping cart, but when we later see him where he, Shuttlecock and Tanktop are killed there's only a bunch of weapons in his shopping cart. Where'd the dog-guy go?

I'm amazed by how much Rusty's voice is just Urbaniak's but... I don't know, him trying to sound like himself but a couple decades older? More cranky? Jay-Jay and Phantom Limb sound so different to me, so he has a great range.

DrBouvenstein posted:(Bolding mine.) But he, himself, would die. Sure, a clone with his memories upto a few days or weeks (maybe months depending on how long the "mission" that took his life was) would be alive, but not the Rusty Venture he knows. It'll be some other Rusty Venture. He probably had bad feelings about the second Hank and Dean not being the real Hank and Dean but then got over it - part of the comedic sociopathy everyone in this show has. (edit: hell, Dean got over the fact that he was a clone, eventually) I don't think he had the whole thing planned out from the start, he cobbled it together when the boys first died. Sure, you can play Eclipse Phase and think "Hey, technical immortality is cool!" but your character isn't going to be slitting their throat to give the "ride" a try. It could make sense in an "emergency backup" plan, but then he could think that the idea that he would "survive" in such a way would sit at the back of his head and dull his "fight or flight" senses and thus lead to his first death. This is Rusty Venture - I think he'd rather he doesn't die at all.

LostRook posted:I still trying to figure out how Wide Wale is a top tier villain with only 40 henchman, 4 personal guards and a barnacle encrusted valet. Probably the location, it's easier to accomplish a crime in New York with 40 henchmen on the payroll than it is with ~100 in the Grand Canyon. (I like it that he took the Sperm Whale Tank when he lives/operates right across the street from Venture's place.) Plus he has connections with the other New York villains whereas The Monarch burns whatever bridges he can from the looks of it. Also, he's a clear King Pin parody, so maybe he hires extra help when needed? 0-Hour contract henchmen?

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Colonel Gentleman and the Action Man also live in NYC at this point so presumably they will make an appearance. Action Man is dead, right? Orpheus predicted his death by stroke, I'm sure he was buried in the same episode as Dr Entman was. I'm sure Rusty is meant to be great at cloning, only continuing his work is illegal.

Sash! posted:I thought that was just a joke. Like everyone thought he was gay and she was his beard, but nope. They tried for a kid, I'd guess it's safe to say he's bi. I was showing a friend a selection of episodes from season two last week, and it reminded me of what I felt was the best joke in the show at the time - Brock telling that Ünderbiet henchman about the henchman's testicular lump. I wonder if we'll ever get a callback to that.

Mr. Nice! posted:Red Death has been around for decades and only actually works one night a year. What is he doing those other 364 days? Obviously he obsessively lives on the internet and learns every little bit about everyone he might encounter so that he always has the upper hand. I'd think he had been working for a while and the whole one night a year thing was a relatively recent occurrence. Man must have knocked over quite a few banks in his youth to be living at the standard he does now.

A lot of the time you'd wouldn't recognize the reference Venture Bros. is making, but it's still be funny as there is a joke in itself built around the reference. For example, I have no clue as to the regulars of Andy Warhol's celebrity groupies, but the episode about the Doom Factory arching Venture was still hilarious.

pnumoman posted:To me, the alternate universe, super-scientist, Broadway hit musical writing, perfect Rusty was just a Rusty that was, you know, not raised like a cartoon child-adventure hero and didn't have all that associated baggage. I thought the Rusty!© musical would be about his whole being a sidekick. Was there any reason for him to be known as "Rusty" otherwise? I think the Alt!Doc Venture just recovered from his childhood better.

Mraagvpeine posted:Bit of a tangent, but I thought The Monarch was the one who blew off Underbheit's jaw (in an attempt to kill Rusty) and Rusty was wrongly accused of it. Yeah, I was about to ask that - "Wait, his original jaw or prosthetic jaw?" I think part of the problem could well be that they don't have enough money to have more than four or five voice actors per episode, with Hammer, Publick, Urbaniak and Warburton being must-haves. Damnit, Urbaniak and Warburton, Pull your weight! You each voice, like, one character each and Hammer and Publick voice, like, twenty each!  (I'm kidding about that last part.)

I believe that Doc and Jackson may well alter how they write in order not to get pigeonholed - see the whole "show is about failure" thing. I could see Jonas Sr dying at the end of the arc, but the interesting bit is that Rusty is shown to care about his father despite what had been shown before.

I'm using Edge, and I haven't put any extensions, or really ever touched it before, so I don't think there's any ad-block on it. Although I've noticed that Brock's "hup!" climbing up on the Ven-Tech logo, and the scream falling down, have been pitch-shifted up for some reason. Edit: gently caress, my VPN automatically uses a Ad-Blocker, so I'll turn that part off and see how things go. LashLightning fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Aug 18, 2018 |

Comrade Quack posted:I’d love to see that book. But I really wonder what it would do to production time on the show itself. I think the greater issue is possibly tying them down with "canon" if they were to write it. Most of the time for new seasons is most likely arranging a contract for the new season, recording and then the studio they hire to draw it.
