I wonder if Scare Bear is actually a guild member or even a villain at all, maybe they're just a weirdo who likes walking around dressed as a bear and carrying knife. This isn't their day job, it's just their weekend hobby.

I could definitely see the Doom Factory bringing him to their party because they think it's a brilliant way to make it unique

I hope that Scare Bear is just a literal regular bear.

That is dressed as a bear.

That's why the costume is filthy. Bears don't know how to do laundry.

Scare Bear saw all these super villains running around New York and (s)he thought "Man, these people are always freaking people out. I wonder what would freak THEM out?" and so now Scare Bear shows up at villain gathering dressed up like the mascot from Hell and breathes heavily just because (s)he can. No one has EVER asked Scare Bear what (s)he's doing there because they're all so freaked out.

Scare Bear is a legend.

I am the only one who thinks ScareBear just randomly came across Hank in the snow and took him to Dean's dorm because Hank ASKED him to?

axelblaze posted:

It is going to be hilarious when Scare Bear isn't even brought up in the next week's episode.

This is probably what's going to end up happening, maybe we might get Dean asking Hank "Who was the guy in the bear suit anyway?" and Hank just shrugs and its never mentioned again.

Scare Bear is obviously Sally Impossible.

The costume hides her powers from accidentally manifesting, I think the first appearance WAS to intimidate Prof. Impossible, and Sue Storm had an evil alter-ego for a while in the 90s. She's using the knife to kill people to make a Buffalo Bill skinsuit to wear as Sally without worrying about her powers.

Spoiler tags can now be dropped until Friday

One thing I really like in the episode is how Doc and Billy come out of the time machine, indicating that Billy and Doc will continue going on adventures. They've always had an uneven relationship with Billy hero worshiping Rusty and Rusty being very reluctant to admit that he's friends with someone like Billy, so it's honestly kind of sweet to think that they'll eventually just form an adventuring duo which is a pretty nice future for both of them.

Also it is funny that both Dean and Hank have had pretty messed up first times but both for reasons that don't involve the actual sex but who they did it with.

Omnomnomnivore: Nov 14, 2010; I'm swiftly moving toward a solution which pleases nobody! YEAGGH!

How did S-464 get from Doc and Billy on the plane back to the Guild to have his brain messed with? They said something about a prisoner exchange but I didn't quite follow.

Maybe they just let him go when they got back to Ventech building. He went to the guild, and then they brainwiped him as punishment.

Try considering the scenario by limiting your knowledge to what a random stranger in a scary bear suit would know when he found a blond kid with a head wound in the snow, and the kid was asking to be taken to his brother's place.

Scare Bear (hereinafter SB) has to know who Dean is if Dean were asked for by name. Otherwise, he'd have to know who Hank was, and he'd have to know who Hank's brother was.
SB would have to know where Dean lived, down to the exact dorm in the correct building.
Hank would have to ask to see Dean in the first place instead of just asking for help (implying a request for medical assistance).
Hank would have to ask to see Dean instead of Sirena, his girlfriend and the entire reason he Ventured out into the storm in the first place.
Hank would not seem surprised to find himself being taken to Dean's dorm room instead of, say, a hospital.

Each one of those items is pretty unlikely to be true. The odds that all of those things happened are extremely remote. Then again, this is Venture Bros. Lining up all of these unlikely elements and explaining them might be a clever homage to Dirk Gently.

I assume they brought S464 back to VenTech, handed him over to the OSI, and then the OSI traded him to the GCI for an OSI prisoner being held by the GCI.

OR someone who lives near the University (and likes to freak people out) would know somewhat where the dormitories are? As for the exact location Hank is still semi coherent enough to point out the building/room that Dean is in.

Would it be so hard to believe that Hank is a little confused about what to do and would say something along the lines of "Hey Dean would know what to do, he's the smart one, take me to Dean magic murder bear! <whispers> he lives in the dorms on campus... Hey can we stop to get snacks on the way?"

He's not the brightest bulb in the box to begin with so seeking medical attention when he needs it isn't a priority for him.

Has the possibility of Brock as SB been raised? Seems like it makes good sense, other than "where and why did he get that specific costume."

otherwise I choose to believe SB is a random-rear end serial-killer-cosplaying furry on the street in NYC during a blizzard, which doesn't sound like much of a reach
