If Sony can keep on producing things like Into the Spider-Verse then I am quite happy for them to keep it.

The original Dexter and PPG were lovingly sculpted works of art and the remakes were very mega Garbo IMO. The difference between them and between the art styles of TT and TTG is a good analogy.

TTG is made cheaply and doesn’t take itself seriously at all. It’s just fun especially if you have kids and has consistently solid jokes. It’s not trying to be anything more than that. which I appreciate since a lot of shows have to have some overarching theme or morality or whatever.

Teen Titans Go is kinda weird. I've heard it described as Always Sunny for kids, and that's not far off the mark. Main issue is that there's eighty zillion episodes and they're almost all that CN seems to air these days, as bad as Spongebob.

I’ve seen 10-15 hours of TTG and every episode of IASIP like 30 times and I just don’t see it. Because they are a group? Because they do capers?

I don't know why I thought of this but people refusing to wear masks because they think it's a measure meant to protect THEM rather than OTHER PEOPLE reminded me of Doc Venture being all like "Condoms? Pfft, I don't need gadgets to please a lady."

And that made me think of a line in "Midlife Chrysalis," when Doc also told Brock that he had to go to the store because he was "all out of condom." Hew as out of condom. Singular. I love this show's occasional forays into bad grammar. That is ICED CREAM!!

Iced tea only works if you pronounce it "Ice-ed Tea," like learn-ed. I mean, I suppose you could also call it *glaciated* tea. >.>

I included it as a joke, seeing as how most people say "ice tea" but it really is "iced tea." I enunciate the "d", so while I don't go all Shakespeare and say "ice-ed tea," I do say "iceD tea" when I'm invoking this brilliant trope. What's really weird is that I'm a huge Simpsons fan. (Is there a thread for that?) But, while Burns has done the whole "iced cream" thing, for some reason, it wasn't until I heard Dragoon do it that it really stuck with me. Maybe because while Burns was saying "iced cream" in a way that suggests that he just thinks that's what it's called because he's a trillion years old, Dragoon says it in a horrified realization that his "sweet meats" aren't regular cake, but cream. And not just cream, mind you. This is much worse than regular cream. Worse than clotted cream. Worse even than heavy whipping cream. This is... ICED CREAM!!!! drat straight you're alarmed by that! Those are Red Mantle's arteries you're clotting!!

Weird thing is it makes sense for Doc, since he was basically isolated and home-schooled for most of his life outside traumatic adventures with homicidal weirdos, and some weird uses of language are pretty common for people who've read about things they've never had conversations about. (and we all know Jonas sure as hell wasn't the type to give him responsible sex ed, which is probably why Dermott exists)

I have a theory. We know Monarch and Doc are half brothers but what if this isn't exactly true, what if it goes deeper. We know Blue Morpho and his wife were having issues producing a child and Good ol Daddy Venture offered his potent science to help with it, what if that wasn't just code for his penis in her vagina. We know Doc aka Rusty is suppose to be a clone, or that's what that one Helper robot accidentally revealed or thought anyways. What if we got pieces of the puzzle but not all the parts and it goes something like this. Ol Daddy Venture had begun to tinker with cloning which is why Rusty was able to clone his own sons so much later on, he got all the machines and instructions from dear old dad, I don't believe that any Rusty "slugs" were created as Jonas was still working on things sorting out the bugs but he knew how dangerous life could be, especially his so he was planning to make back ups, likely of himself and his son or so was going to be the plan. Now good ol Daddy Venture decides to make his "good friend" that child he promised and decides hey why not use this newborn baby he's got as a base, but tinker with it somewhat so it won't be exactly the same, maybe even screw with the DNA a bit to prevent it from being as great as his own kid. Classic dick Jonas Venture all around while still being able to say he did as he promised. So Doc makes the new baby using his science and is kinda pleased and then summons BM and wifey who are presented by their new bundle of joy via Helper delivery. Everyone is happy, all continues on with the world. Rusty and dear old daddy dearest do many adventures and time passes as something begins to bother old man Venture, something just isn't right. Despite being of great gene stock especially from the fathers side the son is falling by the wayside, he's adventurous and that's great but....he really ain't that smart. Well, not compared to a Jonas Venture anyways. Rusty gets in trouble, needs to be bailed out constantly and is to put it bluntly, a disappointment. Then one night over a glass of whisky something clicks in old man Ventures mind and he quickly checks and finds out the horrible truth. Rusty, our Doc is the tinkered clone. When Helper went to retrieve the clone the poor bot didn't know which was which and took the wrong child to hand over to BM and wife, it's why the other Helper said that the Rusty we've been use to is a clone, because he knew the mistake or learned of it soon after. Old man Venture is pissed and worse, angry, very very angry. He wants his true legacy back, he demands it back. Or else. This causes a chain of events, BM and wife flee in a plane wanting to keep the child they have grown to raise and love but one of old Daddy Ventures pals from Team Venture (probably someone like the action man) screwed with the plane before take off not realizing Doc didn't want to kill them so much as get the kid. Opps. Plane goes down, BM dies, his wife dies and the child is gone, burnt up? Ate by wild life? Who knows but all that's left is the tinkered with clone and ol Jonas decides to stick with the stupid little turd since it's all he's got left, this also leads to him basically treating Rusty like dirt and the other members pretty much join in not giving a poo poo about some stupid clone kid figuring they'll probably go through a bunch and mind wipe them to a certain point ala Doc later does with his own boys. What Jonas Venture didn't realize at the time was of course Malcom, the true Rusty survived and went on his own butterfly adventure. By the time he does return to civilization old Daddy Venture probably decides the kid is likely a lost cause by that point and plans to make a superior Rusty down the line so stops giving a poo poo about him allowing Malcolm to live free while Rusty(the clone) continues on his hard knock life being mentally abused by all those around him who believe he's living on borrowed time until his replacement can be created. In the end all Jonas plans go up in flames or should I say out an airlock and he never gets to fix his great blunder due to being reduced to a head and stuck in Problem for decades. We've seen Malcolm is pretty smart, he's developed a few things including that sun beam weapon he tried to use against Captain Sunshine and he's likely smarter than even he knows but since he was never pushed into the sciences he never really became a great legendary inventor. What we have seen he's immense and overwhelming hatred for Rusty very early on in life and what if all that subconscious anger he has is because a part of him on some level realized that Rusty got the life he was suppose to have, that everything he was suppose to be was stolen by this annoying failure which only fuels his rage for him even more, he doesn't understand but all there is, is that anger and it drives him to do everything he does in life. Rusty himself knows none of this and is crushed by the worlds great expectations placed upon him he could never hope to reach. So yes, as people said the show is truly about the Venture Brothers, being Malcolm and Rusty but more than just blood brothers, they really are mirror images of each other twisted by life and science.

If anything JJ is the actual son Jonas wanted but due to his hubris or whatever things turned out how they are. Malcolm is savvy but so much of his success is because of his wife.

Yeah, they just happened to be migrating near the crash site and probably stopped there to rest before continuing on. He probably spent a few days in the woods before being found.

Rusty and Malcom are Beavis and Butthead if their similarly absentee and/or disaffected parents were rich.

quote:The Monarch--then only eight years old--was the only one to survive the crash, and spent three months living in the forest amidst a colony of Monarch butterflies, who "adopted" him. Plenty of time for Jonas to move on or decide the kid wasn't worth whatever psychological issues he gained in the wild.
