Exploration is ill-advised.
I'm reminded of the disturbing detail that Sgt Hatred said the Guild considered his pedophilia to be a special talent. For all their quirks and charm they're a hosed up bunch.

Also was a plot point Gary points out in the Very Venture Halloween that as soon as nerds are exposed to super-science weirdness, they go completely loving nuts really fast. Explains a lot.

Almost could explain Red Death - the movie quotes he monologues arent an accident, he's a literal movie nerd and probably was one of those nerds who cant shutup aout movies and was endlessly repeating movie quotes before whatever happened to him happened. And OF COURSE Red Death went to Movie Night and kept the ticket. That's not a memento of an Guild arching gone wrong, movie nerds do that kind of poo poo. I bet Red Death has a DVD collection that would rival anyone and might even top Gary for memorbilia

Except of course Red Death found a way to stop the madness consuming him. But he's still a huge movie nerd

I may have missed it, but have they gone into Purple Pete Rose's backstory yet? Gambling accident? Ephobophilia issues?

Kind of dense of them, though, because Red Death was very explicit that he was only down with the plan if he got a chance to kill somebody.

If we ever get an episode that is set in the future, I always thought it would be a neat idea to have her as an adult arching an older Rocket Impossible(cause with a name and heritage like his, there's no way he doesn't become involved in the world of Super Science and Adventurers)

They could have adult future Rocket show up in the present, having gone back in time to prevent something that screws up the future timeline.

I feel like Sally and the rest of the Impossible family got forgotten somewhere around when JJ goes to space to build Gargantua 2. I can't remember the episode where Monarch actually arches him (maybe I was doing something during that episode of my rewatch where they make the Voltron thing), but I feel like that's about the last time we really see them outside of the cameo at JJ's funeral.

The episode you're tying to remember is The Lepidopterists. And I think you're right that we don't see much of Sally since season 3.
