My best answer is pure speculation. I figure they were probably kidnapped one at a time over the course of a few days. Butt-Eater was kidnapped first and woke up first. The others were kidnapped and woke up later. So he'd kill them one at a time as they woke up.

I could see Manolo being responsible for the butteaters, and then it turns out that Mexican day laborers are basically the VB equivalent of Discworld's Igors. They don't question why somebody would lockup a butteater, since they've seen much crazier things than that. So every other super villain uses Mexican labor to cut down on construction costs, so being part of some crazy experiment is just part of doing business. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Mar 27, 2016 |

You don't need to be in a fantasy land for a foreign day laborer to overlook some atrocious poo poo in the name of a dollar.

However, I feel like Hank & Dean have gotten the least amount of screen time. This was pretty much all about the Monarch and a little bit about Rusty and his entourage, Hank & Dean each get one side-plot in one episode each. The show has such a rich cast that I'm only just noticing this after the fact, but it is called Venture Bros... I hate the second half of this season provides closure on Sirena & Nano-Dean

This show is way too aware of/resilient against fanboy speculation to ever give us Rusty and The Monarch being brothers.

WrathOfBlade posted:This show is way too aware of/resilient against fanboy speculation to ever give us Rusty and The Monarch being brothers. Agreed. It would seem a little cheap, somehow. It'd be much more venturey if there's some event in Monarch's past that made him what he is. Well, I suppose that's already there, what with his parents dying and all that. But add to that something so horrifically traumatic that he blocked out early memories of being friends with Rusty as a small child (as well as anything else in his childhood related to the Ventures)? Something that not only blocks those memories but seeds an subconscious, uncontrollable hatred of Venture that Monarch is compelled to act on even though he can't describe why the hatred exists in the first place? That works fine.

I feel like The Monarch and Rusty are definitely related somehow since, in addition to that one picture of them together as kids, they have the same hair color, the same facial structure, and the same body type (although the Monarch is in much better shape). If I had to guess I would say they were cousins and that the Blue Morpho and Dr. Venture were secret twins. Or maybe they're just half siblings and Dr. Venture and The Blue Morpho were involved in a ménage à trois with whoever The Monarch/Rusty's mother was. Because while Blue Morpho and Dr. Venture are both pretty bulky guys The Monarch and Rusty are both pretty thin, just like the red headed woman seen in the old photograph.

I'm inclined to believe that they are half-brothers, like you said, different fathers but the same mother. If that revelation ever comes, I really hope we will get to know her before it happens.

Jonas is The Monarch's father, and Blue Morpho is his mother. That's my theory and I'm sticking with it for the next five years while we wait on the next season.

If you are in the market for rolling your own I have to recommend these http://www.independenttradingco.com/products/mens-zip-hooded-sweatshirt http://www.independenttradingco.com/products/copy-of-mens-independent-pullover-hooded-sweatshirt I got one of them as some merch from a band I am friendly with about 2 years ago and fell in love with it. Best quality and fit of any hoodie I have ever dealt with. Took me a bit to find the original manufacturer but those are it.

I was rewatching the Gargantua-2 episode, and watching the scene where Dr. Mrs. The Monarch is crying and saying that the Monarch is the only good thing in her life that she knows is true and right (paraphrasing) and knowing what happens in the season after that, I don't know how I'd feel if she ever finds out the truth about the Blue Morpho.

I was thinking how despite the Monarch's voiceover, the level 10 villains are waaaaaaay skewed, if not in their power sets then in their effectiveness. I had some real problems with the idea that Wes Warhammer and Red Death are the same Guild Level, but I chalked it up to Wes being a level 10 as a result of the Sovereign wanting to get invited to some weird as hell parties.

Wes Warhammer was a very effective supervillian. He made Rusty think he was interesting and then broke his heart. Also it seems like Guild Level is based on your abilities or the size of your operation. Wes had a bunch of other villains working under him.

Monarch mentions that if you have a lair, an army of henchmen and a competent partner, that was level 10 material and Wes had all of that. I mean he basically had an army of villains under his weird command. He's not as scary as red death but he certainly has the chops. Think Tank being a level 10 is slightly harder to explain.

I thought the point was that Wide Whale was a 10, and he had sublet his arching rights to his subordinates? I don't remember anyone mentioning that the lower people on the flow chart were all also level 10.
