I caught up with this show a few months back and lemme tell you that (outside of some jokes early on that haven't aged well) this show is great, and so were these first two eps of season 7

you know I saw someone point out something interesting: The version of Street Life that opens Sharky's Machine is infamous in that the opening slow part unique to it is left off of the album versions. So that's why Pete was able to instantly tell it wasn't on the system, needing only to cite his past as a college DJ

glam rock hamhock posted:God I hope Bud Manstrong doesn't come back. it's interesting how there's been literally only 3 episodes to involve a writer who isn't Publick or Hammer, with all three of them involving The Tick creator Ben Edlund: Careers in Science was written by Hammer and Edlund (and was also Hammer's first episode) Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner?'s story was written by Publick and Edlund (though the script is just Publick) ¡Viva los Muertos! was written by Edlund, and is literally the only episode written by neither Hammer nor Publick

here's some inane trivia: while most seasons either have an equal balance of episodes written by Jackson and Doc, or there's one more Jackson ep than Doc ep, season 4 actually has more two more Doc eps than Jackson eps.

Bobulus posted:Thinking about stuff from episode 2 of this new season... Not sure what the in-universe explanation will be, but the out of universe reason would presumably to get the Monarch in the clear: with the other Blue Morpho showing up, people will assume that Monarch was merely taking advantage of the Blue Morpho situation and pretending to be him to try to spook Wide Wale out of arching Venture, while DMTM writes off Gary's confession as him being crazy or something

The Notorious ZSB posted:I feel like Sally and the rest of the Impossible family got forgotten somewhere around when JJ goes to space to build Gargantua 2. I can't remember the episode where Monarch actually arches him (maybe I was doing something during that episode of my rewatch where they make the Voltron thing), but I feel like that's about the last time we really see them outside of the cameo at JJ's funeral. Sally did some stuff in the Gargantua 2 special and not just at the funeral

Venture Bros is a lot better about race stuff compared to how it's been with LGBT and handicapped stuff, and a good chunk of the racial humor that is present is usually couched in terms of satirizing the racism of the types of source material that the show draws from, but yeah there's still a few legit iffy things early on. I remember hearing that the villain of the pilot was originally gonna be a middle eastern terrorist before 9/11 happened.

pablo gbscobar posted:The best racist joke on the show is Col.Gentleman stating that Kano is a crackerjack pilot despite his 'racial handicap' yeah most VB jokes with racial elements tend to be like that, where the viewer is supposed to laugh at, not with, someone saying something racist and also to be reminded of how uncomfortable the type of media VB draws from such as pulp adventures could get.

TK-42-1 posted:I mean Wide Wale's henchmen have powerarmor, he's got that tunneling whale tank thing, and he owns a massive skyscraper. That's definitely a step up from the monarch crew in its heyday. the artbook mentions he doesn't own the skyscraper, he simply owns a suite there (not that I don't agree with your overall point)

One thing that stood out in the artbook is how positively Jackson and Doc talked about Sirena; they like writing for her, they like her as a character, and they they think her VA is great (some of their favorite Sirena lines were actually ad-libbed). It stood out in contrast to how neutral they talked about Triana and how confused they were over Kim having so many fans.

I noticed they changed the OSI Agent (the eponymous "Inamorata")'s VA: Back in Red Means Stop she was voiced by Jackson, but in Inamorata Consequence she has an actual female VA.

One thing that might be an element to the whole rusty is a clone thing: Malcom and Rusty appear to be the same age, and Malcom appears to have been around 8-10ish when the plane crash occurred in 1976. But rusty was pretty much the same age appearance wise when the original Spankotopita kidnapping happened in 1968, a full 8 years prior.

I've noticed that this season has a weird gimmick with episode titles: Arrears in Science is an odd duck out, but the rest are "The [some sort of obscure and/or ominous sounding phrase]" The Venture Bros. & The Curse of the Haunted Problem (okay this one also doesn't quite fit, though it fits more than Arrears in Science does) The Rorqual Affair The High Cost of Loathing The Inamorata Consequence The Bellicose Proxy The Unicorn in Captivity The Terminus Mandate The Forecast Manufacturer and presumably this holds for the season finale as well

tarlibone posted:and if he's writing most of the episodes this season (I haven't been paying attention to who wrote them) It's been an even split so far: Jackson wrote The Curse of the Haunted Problem, Arrears in Science, and The High Cost of Loathing, while Doc wrote The Rorqual Affair, The Inamorata Consequence, and The Bellicose Proxy edit: now that I look at it, Jackson's eps are the ones which don't quite fit the "The X Y" format: I'm making a prediction that he wrote The Unicorn in Captivity, Doc wrote both The Terminus Mandate and The Forecast Manufacture, and that the finale's title doesn't quite fit the format and is Jackson written Digamma-F-Wau fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Sep 7, 2018 |

not only do I mix up their names but I also can't tell which one's voiced by Doc and which one's voiced by Jackson (like one of them kinda inflects words similar to Dr. Girlfriend, so I figure that's the one voiced by Doc, but I can't remember which design had which voice anyways)

For people not liking the episode, how do you guys feel about the monarch plot? I'm guessing it's mainly the rusty plot that people are taking umbrage to.

Pope Guilty posted:One of the silhouettes was the Mexican professor from episode one, it was already VR at that point. most of the council of 13 silhouettes were based on preexisting character models; though of the three untweaked silhouettes (Wild Fop, Mommy Long Legs, Monseñor), for the former two they later decided that the extras whose models they used were said council members; meanwhile Monseñor's silhouette is based off of a gaucho-themed extra who showed up in the background of eps like Fallen Arches Digamma-F-Wau fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Sep 15, 2018 |

axelblaze posted:I'm glad they dropped the thing where the Monarch kept attributing things to butterflies that they can't do after the first episode. I don't think they ever completely threw away the "Monarch doesn't actually know poo poo about butterflies" dynamic, it just doesn't come up often (for instance, he had no clue that Morpho was a term that related to butterflies)
