They really need to figure out how to have more Hank/Monarch interactions along with Brock/Monarch interactions.

Hank: I had to sleep in my clothes. Now I feel gross wearing them two days in a row!
The Monarch: You're kidding me, right? That's the only outfit I've ever seen you in!
Hank: Well, that doesn't mean I never wash it.
The Monarch: Fair enough. Number 27! Get the kid a change of clothes! (Looking at Brock) How 'bout you? You ok?
Brock: I didn't sleep in my clothes.

It's true!

The Monarch: Well, Hank, what's it like to be a... liar? Huh? You like being a liar with pants constantly on fire?
Tiny Attorney: Objection your honor, leading.
The Monarch: I'll rephrase that: Hank, are you a liar?
Hank: No sir, I don't think so.
The Monarch: Yes you are!
Dean: You're the liar!
The Monarch: And may I remind you, that I am rubber and you are glue and whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!

Good episode, but I'm beginning to feel the absence of Orpheus.

I'm also missing Orpheus. Hopefully we'll have some Triad action in the near future. Also the Revenge Soiety.

I forgot that Hank and Monarch had an episode together. I was impressed with how often they had characters who shared the same voice actor do scenes together in Season 4 and that episode is from the first season.

I'm really hoping Killinger makes a return to the Venture compound for Dean.

Yeah, from my point of view Hank's voice is way higher and more enthusiastic, and if he did a "high class accent" it'd be all sarcastic and wouldn't sound like St. Cloud at all. I just don't hear it.

And now that we know The Monarch was never an officially licensed Guild Villain, it makes sense he wasn't in that book.

Though one would think he'd know he wouldn't be in there.

It would be pretty funny if the Monarch and Rusty are half or step brothers and Rusty has been giving him a portion of his trust fund every month which the Monarch uses to troll Rusty.

Rusty never noticed it because he was too lazy to actually look where they money was going.

Certainly in line with what we can expect from Rusty. Especially if it were under Rusty's control the whole time, and he could have pulled the plug whenever he wanted.

The One True Oden

Personally, I think the Monarch/Rusty thing is going to end up hilariously anticlimactic. His parents were friends of Jonas, they played together as kids, Rusty does something that makes the Monarch develop his insane grudge. But he doesn't even remember what it was anymore, just that he really hates Rusty Venture, and has for as long as he can remember.

The place crash was just a place crash. No secret half-brothers or anything. The trust fund is from his parents, who were rich. I mean, they're obviously rich from what we've seen in flashbacks. Why do people think the money is coming from the Ventures somehow?

Well, they're also the guys who brought us a massive 'twist' in a Holiday special of all things, so yeah, I guess we can expect everything. They're also the guys who had the brass balls to just change the whole dynamic of the main characters between two seasons.

Speaking of, where are we with the Halloween special twist? The new season obviously started just after Operation P.R.O.M., but are the current episodes before or after Dean found out about being a clone?

So does episode 1 happen on and off throughout the season? Are we slowly moving through that timeline? Or does only the Halloween episode happen offscreen during episode 1?

it looks like 1 happened, the Halloween episode happened during it, then the rest of them happen. There was nothing to suggest the Monarch's appearance the other week was before his appearance in ep 1.

Actually, we know for a fact that everything is happening AFTER episode 1. Sphinx was blown up, so the fact that it still existed at the end of Cleansuit makes the timeline clear.

Same with non-walking-eye Helper.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
One thing that struck me was that Hank still seems to be going around in an androgynous body suit and in a rock band, at least for this episode.

Given the still vaguely-villainous reputation of Sphinx despite he and Gary's best intentions, Hank seems to on his way towards maybe becoming the next Bowie.


VVV
edit: Not so much the suit, I guess, but he's doing a female and male look with the robot lady body and his typically male-looking face, head and hair with the total package. It's like an inverse of Ziggy Stardust.
