Rusty was unable to fix it because he had no idea it was an advanced progressive life extension module and thought it was just an error light for Gargantua-1. (I've had tech support calls like that.) Yeah but the double combination of not necessarily really wanting Jonas back but still following his last wishes, plus not necessarily having faith in Rusty to do science good, I can see why they just left it alone. Especially since Gargantua 1 crashed.

I think it's a bit rich that Rusty complains that Jonas is a terrible person when he's just as bad. Their whole lineage is filled with monsters. Lloyd Venture acted like he was working for the best of humanity, but his workers died in a fire when he had the doors locked (ala the triangle shirtwaist factory fire). Jonas pretends he's working to make humanity better but he treats his son and his closest friends like garbage. He abandoned a bunch of kids in an underground complex. Rusty likes to think he could possibly make humanity better but always fails at it. Along the way he treats his kids just as terribly as he was treated himself. He lets a bunch of college interns get killed when working on his project. I wonder if Dean will be just as terrible. He seems to actually care about how things affect other people. I kind of want to see what Jonas' childhood was like. Maybe Lloyd took him on terrible adventures when looking for exotic felts and fabrics.

Cojawfee posted:I think it's a bit rich that Rusty complains that Jonas is a terrible person when he's just as bad. The difference, at least as far as the viewers are concerned, is that this is Rusty's story, and we're shown all along the way how his father and his terrible upbringing are responsible for the way he is today. Jonas doesn't get that excuse. Even if Lloyd Venture was a similarly lovely parent, the Jonas we've seen hasn't been affected by it -- he's immensely successful and genuinely the greatest scientist of his generation, he's incredibly confident in himself and motivated, he's proactive and doesn't passively let the world affect him like Rusty, and he's a real leader of men as far as we've seen with Team Venture. I mean, they can reveal that all of it was a facade he created because he was scared of his overmasculine father or whatever, but we never see it, Rusty never sees it, and even if we did, Jonas gives the impression of someone firmly in command of himself and doing what he wants to do. In comparison, Rusty's life has never seemed very under his control.

I think Jonas is morally worse and that Rusty is reasonably well adjusted and moral for being raised by sociopaths. Jonas wouldn't have taken Killenger's offer because of his image. Rusty didn't because it was wrong.

Even so, Rusty of all people knows how bad of an experience it is. It doesn't give him the right to perpetuate it onto his children. I was wrong earlier and Lloyd was actually Jonas' grandfather. Maybe Jonas' father was a decent person and that's why we never hear about him. He took over his father's business and told his son to get into science instead because it would be better than running a business in a dying industry. Then Jonas just turns into a complete rear end in a top hat on his own.

Rusty at least has some self reflection on what he does. Dr. Venture: Brock… am I a bad person? Brock: Doc, what the hell just happened? Dr. Venture: Am I, Brock? Brock: Ehhhh… I can't imagine Jonas having that same conversation

Rusty's not nearly as bad as his father in that he is occasionally introspective and understands why he's so hosed up. Recognizing he's hosed up even if he rarely tries to do much about it is a step above what we've seen from Jonas. He does care about his sons even if it gets misplaced sometimes. For all the bravado about JJ he also cared about him too. It seems abundantly clear Jonas cared about nothing but himself and his image.

When Ghost Robot goes undercover and Brock beats up Vendata to take his armor, Rusty shouts ""The metal murder man from my nightmares! He was real!" when he sees Brock.

I hope Hank & Dean don't end up fighting over Sirena. That doesn't seem very Hank. ^^Hover belt was cool. Wonder if Rusty did anything to it vs JJ. Looked the same^^ I can't wait to rewatch the end of last season with this seasons 3 to get the full weight of it.
