twistedmentat posted:From what I've heard, NYCC has been exploding in recent years because SDCC is, I hate to say it this way but, too corporate. Plus, so many people live in NYC its easier for them to get there. I can imagine Doc and jackson on the subway carrying all their stuff for their panel. Seattle's con is Emerald City Comic Con. They've been fighting the corporate swing but it just got bought out by Reed Pop. Last years 3-day passes sold pretty quickly. 2016 will be 4 days and I expect it to sell out quickly too.

DragonCon has been worth going to the past couple years, if you can stand the stupid rear end heat/humidity. Always been great VB panels there, and great cosplay as well.

When you can't walk through a convention without having to navigate a sea of shoulder to shoulder people, it's time to move on. yet we get HALF the cool poo poo SDCC gets. the nycc is really bad.

Rusty's lucky that he didn't go the supervillain route. Jonas Jr. would've killed him.

In fact, I think he'd probably make quite a big show out of not being able to bring himself to do it. "But we're the Venture brothers! I can no more spill your blood than I can spill my own." Or something like that. "You spared me when I tried to kill you, and I find that I can't kill you now. Enough Venture blood has been spilled." I'd love to see Doc finally lose his poo poo, go hyper-competent, and start to finally try to kill what's been killing him his whole life: the entire world of costumed aggression. Powerless in the Face of Death showed us that he's not as far from the edge as he'd like everyone to think. I want to see him Ooo-ray Guild HQ.

I want Doc to get accidentally hopped up on amphetamines and become incredibly productive and brilliant, then crash down and realize that he's finally settled down into middle age and is pretty content at this point not to do any real superscience. Then drink another one of his disgusting drinks while surfing channels for another Dolly Parton movie as empty nest syndrome starts to settle in and he starts going stir crazy.

Just Doc and Hatred watching TV in their underpants. I really hope the Triad will be renting space in the Venture HQ in NYC. Also, a real HankCo shop in the lobby.

I'm actually hoping they move him forward a bit story wise, simply so that we can see him mostly mess things up on a whole new level. I think it could be really cool if he was actually semi competent but still managed to screw things up the way only he can.

It'd be interesting if the only thing he was good at was running a company that made lovely dumb stuff he considered beneath his talents. Doc settles into mediocrity instead of stumbling into it.

For my part, I think it'd be interesting if Monarch managed to bring down Venture's new giant company. Granted he did just burn down the Venture compound on accident, so he's already coming off of a big success, but it'd really make Rusty take him seriously. Alternately, it'd be pretty great if he flies over in the Cocoon to Arch Venture and just gets owned by a PMC Doc hired for security.

Hilariously, I'm pretty sure that no none, including the Monarch, know he's responsible for burning the compound down.

Angular Landbury posted:I hope by the beginning of the next Season, Doc has already bankrupted Venture Industries. No, no, no. That wouldn't do. That'd be like having a Star Wars movie where a couple of Jedi talk to each other while riding in an elevator or something, and they just talk about all their awesome adventures over the last few months or years--really memorable stuff that you would rather watch than an elevator ride--and then spending the rest of the movie watching politicians debate and overwrought special effects battles fought by masses of characters who you simply don't care about. Would anybody ever make a Star Wars movie like that? Of course not. You'd have to hate Star Wars to do that. Likewise, in a show about failure, you can't skip the failure and pick up from there. You have to show the failure. As for me... honestly, I'd rather them not destroy JJ's company. I find the constant talk about not having money a little tiresome, and it's getting harder to suspend my disbelief. I mean, what broke person goes around in a supersonic experimental jet all day long? Even if they're selling off memorabilia to rich collectors, sooner or later, you just can't do that anymore. Instead, why not show what happens when the sometimes hyper-competent Doctor® Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture has some real superscience resources at his disposal. This is the guy who made the Ooo-ray and the joy can. Yes, terrible things to be sure, but it's superscience! Could any of you build a giant can that functions as your own personal holodeck, even with the knowledge that some of the components are harvested from orphans? I'd like to see him accidentally invent his way onto the Guild's poo poo list, and see how he deals with being a legitimate threat.

I just have a horrible feeling that JJ's 'huggy' mood on Gargantua II had a purpose, and he's somehow back 'inside' Rusty again and will pull a Tyler Durden on him whenever he sleeps.

Doc is going to be surprisingly competent at being a super scientist at the big league level. He'll finally have the tools to refine his unethical work to acceptable quality levels.

I think that is the best part of the joke. By all rights Doc should be a massive and successful super villain but deep down he is just a messed up guy from a messed up family. But I would love to see the semi evil stuff he would come up with and try to market.

Basically Rusty is good at being the evil mad scientist. That's why I really liked the Venchmen episode. All the misery and hate towards his brother. He pretty much screams it. Really hilarious how he just asks Brock if he's... bad? And Brock just goes. Ehhhh. I hope the new season Rusty has some bit of success and not run the industry to the ground. You guys who keep wanting Rusty to fail make it seem like that this show can't show any terms of success otherwise it ruins it. I rather he manages to keep his brother's industry afloat and having to deal with new problems instead. Also I wish that promo picture reel was real of Rusty going around as a masked vigilante destroying villains.

I kinda hope that Rusty does end up going the supervillain route, especially in really 'Outside of the GoCI' ways. Thus leading to Brock being forced to do something about it, and it's either super heart wrenching, or it's the chillest arch-nemesis situation.

The problem for me is that Rusty's more of a villain (in the selfish, careless rear end in a top hat sense) than a supervillain. Supervillains are really wrapped up in the mystique of being a supervillain, as witness The Monarch. Rusty isn't going to build a super-ray that turns all of the Bronx into killer frog-people. However, he might cheap out on waste disposal and bury leaky barrels of toxic waste near drinking water that does the same thing.

Especially if there is a moment involving regular people not realizing that's how Rusty lives gets attacked by the Monarch.
