Cojawfee posted:He was in Past Tense and Now Museum Now you Don't. In Past Tense, he says he became a Jehovah's Witness so that's probably why he only shows up when specifically asked or for reunion things like Spider Skull Island. He probably doesn't want to associate with Team Venture anymore. But he's also not in flashbacks often.

I've noticed that too. Maybe Doc and Jackson just don't like using him as a character. He is kind of lame and his only purpose seems to be pulling off whatever part of the plan involves water.

Those kinds of powers are 100% totally useful... about... oh, 7%of the time. Many of the flashbacks feature different characters. The way I see it, Team Venture was a large ensemble, but on any given mission, you could probably only count on 4-5 of the 10-or-so in the team to be present.

I think in the 1st recap Gary says something like 'there was a fish guy from Atlantis, but you never hear about him - because he was wicked lame.' So almost word of god there.

After this last episode I feel like 21 getting darted in the crotch, along with the Wandering Spider's leg apparently working when he's unconscious / dead(?) is going to come into play in the finale. The legs are going to bust into the Monarch's house and then into the doorway to the Morpho Cave while 21 is down there, and Dr. Mrs. The Sovereign and whomever else will find him there. If it's a bunch of people that discover him he'll take the fall for being the Blue Morpho and say he was killing the Monarch's competition so he could arch Venture, if it's just Dr. Mrs. then she'll put 2 and 2 together and figure out it's her husband. After that I have no idea what happens. Maybe they'll have discovered that Monarch's dad is the one who collected the bounty on the Blue Morpho, sacrificing some random schmuck in order to get out of the game and they'll do the same thing again.

Wouldn't be surprised if most of said trauma came from Action Man being hopped up on the low budget Super Soldier drug cocktail that the government had him use during most of his tenure on Team Venture, figure most of the others had a little more tact in using violence outside of emergencies(except probably Jonas, he was almost as bad as Action Man was in that area, albeit for different reasons)

All of them abandoned the orphans in the fallout shelter. All of them. Even Kano! Probably because he is a crafty Oriental.

Well, we know there were key parties. Can't remember which episode that was in, but the Venture crowd weren't exactly family values poster boys.

I have a theory that the Venture clan is a bunch of men who continuously clone themselves and pass down their wealth/corporation/memories/history to each successive generation, and that the titular "Venture Bros." refers to the collective "family." That's their super power. Cloning. I believe Rusty is a clone, and Hank and Dean are clones (without an actual biological mother), and possibly Jonas and Brock and other related Venture associates. We're never shown any evidence of any women in the entire Venture family, at least to my memory. I also believe that The Monarch is the bastard child of Jonas and the Blue Morpho's wife, making him Rusty's half brother and the generational equivalent of Dermott Fictel. I'm halfway through season 2 on a rewatch and this theory is holding up so far with all the details I've forgotten. Some of Rusty's dream imagery is pretty blatant when viewed through this lens. Exhibit A (slightly NSFW, captured from S02E05 "Twenty Years to Midnight").

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:It's like a running theme that none of the characters know (or at least acknowledge) who their mother is. The list who do is short - Triana, Monarch, Billy as of S5, the quymm twins, is that it? Pretty sure Brock knows his mom--the first time we meet Hunter he mentions that Brock was raised by a single mom.

That makes a lot of sense, especially if you grew up watching 80's cartoons designed to sell toys, like He-Man, G.I. Joe, or Transformers. There were a handful of core characters that regularly showed up on the shows, but then there were also a ton of guys that showed up in like one or two episodes to look cool, but did jack afterwards. They made for some really cool looking action figures though. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Mar 18, 2016 |

The season is really over isn't it I've been having some trouble with the shirt club. I ordered two subscriptions (one for my girlfriend), and I got the two of the first shirt, then only one of a combo third episode/bonus shirt. No second episode at all! I emailed them and they were super cool about it -- I got a package with all 4 missing shirts like 3 days later. But keep an eye on the shirts, it seems like they're having some logistics problems. On a related note, has anyone received week 4 yet?

LividLiquid posted:You're, like, super not allowed to like Venture Brothers, aren't you? Only if I live in Provo, Utah. We get told to live in the world but not of the world which is open to interpretation, but a lot of the stricter church members interpret that as "Let's bury our heads in the sand and never watch anything with implications of fake violence and sex regardless of how good the actual story is." At the same time you have scriptures like, "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out" so like I said, interpretation. In the end, you have to choose what's best for you and govern yourself.

Not sad to see less of Dermott. There are a lot of characters I'd like to see in expanded roles but he's pretty far down the list, unless he turns up as a super villain.

It'd explain why OSI was keen on managing it over shitcanning him outright.
