scary ghost dog posted:first ep i saw is the one with race bannon and i watched johnny quest as a kid so i was really drawn in from moment 1, and i treat the show like prestigious serial television a la twin peaks and the sopranos. i like how it blends the kind of bizarre superhero universes from cartoons like the super friends or the tick with the long form character development of more acclaimed dramas. rick and morty appeals to me for its clever episode structures and escalations, it works best as a sitcom with very specific scenarios in which the characters can interact. ultimately they are dramatically different shows in format even if they share a sarcastic shell around an emotional core. yes i know ben edlund creator of the tick also wrote a couple eps of vb If you ever listen to the R&M commentary Harmon loves to talk about the sitcom formula and how he lampoons/uses/deconstructs it in most episodes so you basically hit the hail on the head there

twistedmentat posted:Yup. A lot of the episodes sound like SA threads. Its probably not needed to be said, but start from the beginning, as the Batman TAS episode is great, and it never really dips in quality, even when they're talking about shows I didn't care about (Dexters Labratory) or outright hated (Bobby's World). Most of the episodes are good but I stopped listening to the clone wars episodes about 90 seconds in after the disappointment of realizing its not about the amazing Genndy Tartakovsky miniseries but the CGI cartoon from years later

tarlibone posted:(Metalocalypse was great. I'm a metalhead, and a musician, and even a bass player, so maybe I'm biased. But, as much as I loved the show, it, along with China, Illinois, didn't fare as well as hoped when it went from 15 minutes to 30.) I hate metal music and Metalocalypse is still probably my 3rd alltime favorite adult swim show behind Venture Bros and Sealab

So back in Season 5, after Entmann died Action Man said he was the "First of Team Venture to go" which always struck me as odd and I always took it to mean he was the first of the 'team' to die but it looks like they've had it in mind to bring back a not-dead Jonas for at least that long

Phenotype posted:i'm curious to know why you say that. I didn't rewatch the whole episode just now, but I caught the starting bits on Youtube and it doesn't seem at all like they planned for Jonas to be in the Problem box. Manstrong had a card that said to contact Dr. Venture, which I GUESS could mean to talk to him in the box, but that seems like a real stretch. And IIRC there was an actual problem onboard that Rusty solved, something about a toy of his from ages ago that melted and shorted out some wiring. For my money it was just supposed to be a silly '50s-sciency problem indicator until they decided to write this episode. the problem light goes right back to blinking after Rusty leaves so taking out the melted cowboy didnt actually fix anything

JJ's hologram projector in Rusty's bed cant be the only one in the penthouse can it? Thats plausible enough to explain where the hand came from if there's one that can project into brock's room.

No way in hell do I expect Blue Morpho and Jonas Sr. to stay dead forever. This episode was a great way to kick the can down the road on some big questions while still telling a great story in the past and present.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I got the impression that Treister liked the big G.I.Joe-style OSI, heavy on offense and kitsch, while Hunter seems to be more enthusiastic about an smaller OG OSS-style organization, with more emphasis on espionage and spycraft, hence his hiring Molotov to clear out all the moles and dead weight. On the commentary for season 5 they mention how while writing episodes they would come up with absurd names for a new OSI guy only to discover that there were already actual GI Joe characters by those names

He went from being homeschoooled on a superscience compound to being a billionaire in new york city. Yeah i'm pretty sure Dean has 0 idea of the value of a dollar. Hank at least seems to have some measure of financial savvy from his multiple business ventures. Also being a billionaire, a single payment of one million dollars is not a significant hit to the wallet

There could be separate rankings for different levels like weight divisions in boxing. Phantom Limb used to steal original Rembrandt paintings and those each cost a mint by themselves.

There was no mention at all of the Morpho Cave being out of stealth mode or really any mention or reaction about the Monarch's doublelife from Dr.Mrs. The Monarch this episode which was a little strange. I get the morphic trilogy is over and they moved 2 months on but not even a peep in what was otherwise a fairly monarch-heavy episode

luxury handset posted:sure they didn't air the parts where rusty was nearly drowned or shot a man to death, but also rusty had to live those experiences so he could be propped up as a celebrity. and also as an excuse for jonas to drag his son around on horribly dangerous and traumatizing adventures under the pretense that it is character building Except they did air exactly that in the first ORB episode. Billy is watching the cartoon and they show Rusty being forced to shoot a guy to save his dad. Billy freeze frames right as Rusty fires so we dont know what the result of that shot was but it was obviously Rusty trying to kill a guy.
