I was about to say, when has Brock used a gun? He used cross bows, but we all know Brock does not use firearms.

It was delivered more like an ironic quote than a query. It was more a setup than anything. Not every line of this show is a reference, though if you look through the history of media you'd be sure to find a similar setup to which you could attribute this line.

THE ROAD BEFORE YOU IS BESET WITH MANY PERILS! EVERY TURN YOU MAKE WILL BRING YOU CLOSER TO THE COLD WAITING HANDS OF SISTER FATE! FEAR ME THESEUS! FOR I AM THE MIGHTY MIN-O-TAUR!

So is the Monarch's father going to turn out to be a riff on the Green Hornet or something like that? Except blue. Blue Hornet or some other butterfly murdering insect? The similarities in the costume cant be a co-incidence. And thece the Monarch takes up the mantle of the Blue "Hornet" and 21 becomes the more murderous sidekick "Kato"?

It had that same almost whimsical tone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWLjzosQk8M&t=79s

poo poo, Wide Whale's primary motivation for arching Venture is probably to spite the Monarch. After all, the Monarch murdered his brother.

I love the weird stuff Doc interjects into the episode. Like the part where they discuss how it was like that documentary, "The Man whose arms exploded" and how it was the most awful thing ever filmed. Something like that outta left field just makes this show the awesome poo poo it is. Also, don't watch that documentary. Might literally be one of the most awful things ever filmed.

At the risk of over-explaining things but who knows, someone might not know:elentar posted:the "CPR" on Night Dick's bike apparently stands for Crimefighting-Punishment-Revenge  I don't know if Night Dick is outing himself as the alter ego of a police officer or just contrasting his methods with the police's. Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:hank shops at "markup and spender" Also I don't know if Monarch-Dad's character needs to be a Green Hornet joke, though that would make sense. All the screencaps conspiracy-minded people put together earlier reminded me of The Spirit as much as anything.

What I loved is how Rusty, when trying to rally his impromptu board of directors around his vision of speculative engineering, is talking about stuff that's straight out of jet-age futurist buffoonery. Seriously, take a gander of his vision of the future, and tell me that it doesn't sound like what someone from the 1960s might think was the way of the future: "Jet-powered automated trains! Conveyer belts on the streets. Plug-in replaceable kidneys!!" He even makes the one thing in that short list that isn't a common example of the quaintly retro-futuristic--artificial organs--sound like something his dad might exclaim to the engineers at Venture Industries in 1967. And, I mean, it's not like poor Rusty doesn't have a point. The Venture name was built on superscience, and not so much on consumer goods. But he's incapable of even speculating about things in a mindset that's not trapped 30-40 years in the past.

X_Toad posted:I think we're going to see a redux of season 3 when Rusty's new arch took on the job partly to get back at the Monarch. Wide Wale will turn out to have kept a soft spot for his brother and is pissed at the Monarch for killing his brother. Hank is already like, halfway to being Batman by virtue of being filthy rich.

The mask is more like Green Hornet that The Spirit. The thing so far this series I am enjoying is the distinct impression that the Monarch / Ventures / Hatred are not heading for failure. Dean basically telling his father how to turn their fortunes around, Hatred being competent, Monarch clearly about to go on a villain murder spree.... love it. I hope they continue to succeed.

But yeah, Rusty is lucky one of his sons has some common sense and is apparently interested in making JJ's legacy (seriously, I feel like Dean has an interest in JJ's legacy that he never had in Jonas and Rusty's legacy) endure. Speaking of JJ, is anyone else a bit surprised by the characterization they seem to have going for him, as someone who focused on consumer goods rather than super-science? The man almost completed a teleporter and built a gigantic space station, clearly he was interested in higher concepts and grand projects! As for Hatred, yeah, they found a nice spot for him : with Rusty entering the big leagues and getting a slew of new, powerful enemies, Brock is a tad out of his comfort zone and Hatred can definitely helps him with his intelligence on the guild and its villains.
