There wasn't a B-Story or character I wasn't 100% delighted to spend time with in the entire series. That's an absolute rarity in any show or film, really.

scary ghost dog posted:its really surprising how wholesome it is, as well. not nearly as many betrayals as i expected This show is so drat good at red herring plots that they just drop when they're supposed to climax. Like implying Tick being a figment of Arthur's imagination/paranoia when he's talking to Dot or Superian's moment of heroism when Arthur called out and he just shrugged and ignored him. The best part of Arthur thinking Tick is a hallucination is that it implies literally everyone in The City saw a big blue guy in a tick suit wandering around and went  .

TychoCelchuuu posted:Haha yes, I loved that too. I also liked how in that sequence (the tiniest of spoilers, basically not even a spoiler) the Tick and Arthur's antennae are sticking out the sunroof. That detail always makes me laugh. especially when Kevin gets out and they're supposed to be under cover so he can execute a Daring Plan. If Kevin wasn't enough on his own, the two sets of antennae poking out from the car roof is a dead giveaway.

I think the low key physical comedy is the best part of the show, like Tick drinking straight from the coffee pot

I like how he poured Dot a cup, and then drank from the pot, and Dot's like "Yeah, I'm not drinking this."

All the nerdy Superman references in regard to Superian are killing me, particularly the "Can you read my mind" bit. "I think you should take a long walk." "...On the ground?" - has to be a reference to this, right?

In every iteration of the Tick it's the secondary superheroes I love the most. Bronze Star and Sage the Supernumerary are amazing.

I hope this guy is wrong but it makes sense, I feel like this season was barely advertised: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9PRcL_ljyc (basically arguing that executive lineup changes at Amazon may explain lack of promotion for The Tick / possible upcoming cancellation) Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Apr 14, 2019 |

TychoCelchuuu posted:I heard something similar although for all I know it's from the same source so this isn't a confirmation and instead it's just repeating what you said. It would be a real shame if the show doesn't get renewed for a third season (especially given that they already renewed Hanna for a second season and by all accounts that show is a snoozefest). We need as much goofy, friendly, non-cynical superhero stuff as we can get these days! Hannah was pretty good. It wasn't a snoozefest.

I expected too see some iteration of chairface chippendale, especially when they brought up human furniture, and that being only phase one of hobbes's plan. I really hope the show survives enough to see the marvel hype machine die, and ride it into the ground. I feel like it was a bit of a missed opportunity that the show didn't seem to reference avengers at all, except in general, super team terms. It spent this season dunking on old superman movies, but nothing recent.

I liked this season more than the first since it seemed more focused overall. In season one it just seemed like we were waiting around for The Terror to do something.

The Duke being decapitated and the human furniture thing also definitely hinted at the possibility at Chairface, but The Duke's thing being mad super science wouldn't mesh with Chairface's typical M.O. though so it's only surface hinting.

Found some neat stuff in Ben Edlund's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/tickarthur/status/1114292327629983744 https://twitter.com/GriffLightning/status/1114014932788342784 https://twitter.com/lizlet/status/1114192799723687940 quote:When it comes to a third season, Edlund is hopeful. “It’s a big show, so we need to prove ourselves in this season, in its response,” he said. “I think we got something going that people would like to see more of. So, I am cautiously optimistic that a response will be tendered that gives us a shot, you know?” So what I'm hearing is, make sure you're reviewing and rating the show on Amazon itself.

Yeah, the weird rogue's gallery and weirder heroes roster is where its at in the Tick, and season 2 delivered. Edgelord was amazing-er. I loved that he was never the punchline of any joke, just delightfully juvenile in the background. I cracked up when he busted out a pair of nunchucks when all the other mobsters pulled guns.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:fuckin' Edgelord He walks between the raindrops! FINALLY got to watch this season. And it was great. So many good lines in this season. Small Bunyan and his Big Blue Ox... dance parties... "I gotta get self-centered...." "I have to touch you!" "He's dressed like a rest stop straingler!" Then there were the many visual gags, like seeing Tick get thrashed around like a rag doll, reminiscent of his fight with Evil Clone Tick on the animated series ("The Tick vs. The Uncommon Cold"). Few things will top that arm wrestling machine. I mean, c'mon, Tick actually says, "that is over the top!" My wife and I about died when he said that. (And if you don't get that reference, shame on you and go and watch every Sylvester Stallone movie until you do get it.) I really hope we get a third season. I want to see some more of that monster in the black hole in T. Rathbone's chest. And I think really delving into Dot's character was a great move. She's turning into quite a badass, and she doesn't let her official, card-carrying superhero brother protect her. Even though he tries. She develops her own powers and isn't dependent on Overkill to protect her, either... even though he tries. And I love that she used her favor to undo the Tick's "no kill rule" favor. When the next season of Venture Bros. comes out in 2024, I hope we get that crazy doctor saying, "Ever since The Tick, everybody wants-a the black hole heart!" They did a good job making a believable world in which superheroes and supervillains are just a part of our everyday life. And, there was a good blend of drama in with the comedy. I had some good belly laughs, but the dramatic moments really landed well, too. That's not easy to do. Bravo! I couldn't tell what the voice at the end was saying. I just went back to check it out again... are we 100% positive it wasn't, "LAXATIVE LOG?" tarlibone fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Apr 17, 2019 |

I think the big problem with this show, and all shows, is that when it's all released at once, it's hard to not binge-watch, and when you do that and the show is really good, you end up forgetting half of the stuff you really enjoyed because you can only take in so much at once. There's something to be said for doling out the episodes one-per-week. Someone said something about the "hotel" joke... what joke was that?
