Wanted to voice my appreciation that the following characters haven't come back: Monstroso, The Investors, Molotov, Baron Underbeit, the Baron's underlings, Captain Sunshine. Because, holy cow, Doc and Jackson cannot stop writing characters. For the most part, they're good characters, but there are so, so many.

Yeah, all those characters feel like they've had all the juice squeezed out of them. Glad Doc and Jackson have moved on.

Am I remembering right from the art book that they admitted they just never hit the mark they were looking for with Underbheit...namely a goofy Dr. Doom send up?

Underbheit owns and his season 1 (2?) episode is not quite etthomp2 good for introducing the show but it's not far from it either. It really nails that episodic johnny quest feel.

Yeah I think they've said as much in the commentaries I've listened to. I still think the Underland episode is one of the best, but I guess the character can be a little one-note.

Victor Von Helping now oddly enough fills the 'Dr Doom stand-in' role but as a hero. Actually he also reminds me a lot of JJ; a super-scientist mostly by family obligation who's more interested in actual science and affecting the world for the better and is both only reluctantly involved in and not very familiar with the Guild's game. And also has to be talked down from going total overkill. (Surprising in retrospect it took so long for Jonas Jr to get a proper arch assigned, but I get the feeling that they were waiting a while to scope out JJ's capabilities, and then once they did they were 'whoa, okay, let's save that one for a suicide mission...')

The college flashbacks were the best because the boys are like holy poo poo you guys all knew each other in college? And you see Rusty and Brock look back and shrug like that’s not that surprising or shocking at all. Plus the prison scene was great when Brock regains conscious he immediately tries to blame and attack Underbeit and he has like the best retort ever: congratulations Samson, you’ve undercovered my master plan to lock myself up with my rival while being chained with an ALBINO.

I remembered the college flashbacks fondly but somehow totally scrubbed the canned audience laughter and funky soundtrack from my mind. When I got the book I did a full-series rewatch, and the only thing that convinced me they hadn't been edited in later was the fact that they are referenced in the episode guide.

I think the college flashbacks having a laugh track is really neato. Rusty's childhood was filled with adventure; so much so that they made a show about it. It's somehow sublimely fitting that his college years, at least in flashbacks, are also a TV show, but now instead of a 60s/70s cartoon, it's an 80s sitcom.

Speaking of hidden camera., that was another good bit when the league has Monarch on trial and he points out that the song being played wasn’t the original one he was listening to while banging dr girlfriend. Them admitting they couldn’t get the rights it was funny, double funny it was the training montage Brock song in Season 1. https://youtu.be/m4W56w-eCGI

A little late, but my theory for what Rusty did to the Monarch to get him to hate him, was that as a kid he did something colossally stupid and killed them both. Hence why Docs a clone and why Malcom had no memory of them playing as kids. The actual event wasn't cloned in the memories, but there's a latent feeling of what he did.

I hope they never explain it. While the three parter about how Jonas Sr died was really good, I kinda wish we'd never found out what happened.

I personally think the best explanation is that Monarch hates Venture just because Venture exists. We are told, and Monarch repeatedly demonstrates, that Monarch's hatred is something special, something other villains cannot even aspire to. Basing that on some random, mundane, or even major event cheapens the hate and reduces his archenemyship to a run-of-the-mill vendetta. Monarch hates Venture just because. That works for me.

Laundry list of stuff followed by "He wasn't even the right guy, been arching him for all these years and the guy I was angry at just died without knowing how much I hated him" at a funeral for a series finale might be funny. I can't see revealing it at any other point.

Considering the 'Malcolm? What are you doing here?' 'Did he just call me loving Malcolm?' interaction I hope they end up becoming somewhat friendly and at least doing a lovely teamup in a skewed mirror of the Big Villain episode where theyre proxy rivals. The Monarch seems so close to actually getting past his hate and feeling happy that I feel like that's probably where they're taking his arc. He'll probably remain a villain but be happy in his role as an elder or whatever and not so actively involved in arching. With the Hank/Dean growth itd be good if the current generation starts to move aside for the younger ones coming up and settle into their quasi retirement. It'd be a good place to end the series on without being all hokey and try and wrap everything up because we all know they can almost never wrap poo poo up and just smash cut to the credits.

So friends have been hosting a venture Bros watch through and I thought I remembered the first three seasons generally, but I completely forgot this muther episode and apparently it doesn't tie into anything later. That's pretty surprising of all the obscure things they brought back that nothing from this episode came back.

That's pretty surprising of all the obscure things they brought back that nothing from this episode came back. I don't have a lot to back this up, but I always thought the God Gas / Mind Control Gas was basically the same thing that Muther pumped through the vents into Jonas's underground society that made Team Venture freak out. I base that solely off of it being an archived Venture Industries product, and Action Man's line about Billy ("Looks like this one can't handle his God Gas!") made it seem like he had encountered it before. Mr. Nice! posted:I’m trapped in here with a serial arsonist! Speaking of wild theories, I don't know if it was this thread or somewhere else, but someone once suggested that Hank's weird cultural reference points that Dean doesn't seem to share is the result of Hank's bed also getting VH1 Classics in addition to the learning bed lessons. Which is why he thinks the Michael Jackson Bad outfit is the perfect thing to wear on a first date to seem cool while seemingly not knowing that it is the outfit from the Bad video. I don't think that was an intentional thing, but it is a fun explanation. The truth is that he's channeling dead crazy people.

Funny thing, Myra is probably actually one of the most dangerous regular enemies of the Venture family, for a crazy delusional middle aged lady she's someone that even Brock dreads having to deal with, and still has enough skill and charisma to be a massive threat. I mean hell, she basically took over the equivalent of Arkham Asylum from within by forming a cult out of the majority of patients and staff.

I just watched the last season and a bit of Metalocaylypse and I was looking at the wiki looking at the guest stars apparently James Urbanik was in at least one episode. I don't remember that at all.
