Sgt. Politeness posted:Look at my face I'm pretty sure Action Jonny was supposed to be just Jonny Quest, but somewhere around Season 3 Cartoon Network was planning a Jonny Quest revival and Doc/Jackson got pushback. I'm having trouble finding a citation for this, so there's a good chance they mentioned it in the commentaries. It's at the very least a plausable fan theory, because in the first season they use "Race Bannon" in Ice Station, and the pirate says "Mr Quest" in Twenty Years to Midnight.

ultramiraculous posted:I'm pretty sure Action Jonny was supposed to be just Jonny Quest I know, that's what I mean, they have parody characters(Doc) interacting with the characters they're parodying(Action Johnny/Quest) Normally I'd nitpick that kinda decision but Johnny's one of my favorite side characters on the show. Looks like you got a little herpe on your lip there, you been kissin' your wife's rear end? After I put herpe in there.

Sgt. Politeness posted:I know, that's what I mean, they have parody characters(Doc) interacting with the characters they're parodying(Action Johnny/Quest) What are the big differences between the equivalent characters? Like why are Doc and Johnny so different when they had relatively similar upbringings? They both seem to do drugs. It just looks like Johnny went more overboard? Or maybe it's because Doc had kids, so he had to bring himself at least partway back down to earth. Then there's Hadji, who seems to have turned out okay, compared with Hector, who's in some state of arrested development. I guess we don't seen enough of Hadji to make a good comparison though.

I suppose the difference between Johnny and Doc was that Johnny never had a lick of scientific acumen, while Doc is actually a pretty decent super-scientist, just really negative and lazy. So while they were both good kid-adventurers, Doc tried to prove his worth by stepping into his father's shoes, and Johnny, presumably, wasted all the Quest money on thrill-seeking and drugs.

I'm pretty sure they explicitly stated that Johnny got hooked on drugs as a teenager, while Doc is only on a little weed by the time college comes around and doesn't start going full on "diet pills" until he's an adult. So that probably has something to do with that.

# ? May 28, 2013 03:55 |

The difference is that Johnny had Race Bannon, whereas Rusty had Colonel Gentleman, the Action Man, and Kano. No, wait, that does the opposite of explain anything...

Don't forget that Johnny was actually a villain at one point. He was the Lizardman that stole the serum.

I thought that Johnny ended up so much worse than Doc because he was the more experienced and prominent of the two, the archetype of the boy adventurer. Benton Quest was an A-lister who defined the category that Doc and the others later fit into. Because his experience was an order of magnitude greater than Doc's (fame, adventures, clueless super-science father), Johnny's an order of magnitude more messed up than Doc.

Really? Within the context of the Venture world, it really seems like Jonas Venture Sr. was the tippy top of everything. He had all the compounds, estates, islands, space stations, conglomerates. Not to mention he's all big and buff, while Benton Quest has a figure more like Rusty Venture. I haven't seen Johnny Quest since I was a kid, but even in their own universe, were the Quests like super rich industrialists? I guess they did have their own plane, but it seemed almost like Benton Quest was like a researcher for some company and using their jet or something.

This is partially on the meta-level of Johnny Quest being an inspiration for the show, so Doc and the rest are necessarily shadows of the Johnny Quest show. I don't know that it's untrue in the world of the show, either. Jonas has great importance to Doc and his circle because he was a big influence on them, but the Venture world is pretty big and full of poo poo that doesn't touch on him at all: magic, superheroes, robots. I'd imagine there are a lot of big wheels occupying various corners of that world that may not overlap, and we're just focused on one.

So apparently they're doing screenings of season finale followed by the premier on the big screen (up to five before it airs) in select cities. People taht go will get a lmited edition print and a chance to win actual film cells. It's coming no where near me, and I hate all of you that are going to be able to go to this.

Melbourne is my hometown and is nowhere near any kind of cool metropolis/city. I'm dumbfounded that it's playing there. That theater isn't even *that* cool. Well, I guess it is now. I can't believe this. Anyone I know that would go to this is now on the West Coast (including me). I just want to live vicariously....

Williams Street Productions is headquartered in GA, but that's just the production company. To the best of my knowledge most of the contributing work that Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick is in NYC, but enough nitpicking. It'll be on in a few more days, and I can wait in all honesty. I don't have time to drive down to anywhere it would have been playing anyway.

What's the preferred method for those without Cartoon Network to watch the new season? During either season 3 or 4, I was able to watch the new episodes on Cartoon Network's site 24 hours after it aired on TV. Are they still doing this? Even if it was like a week after the episode aired, I'd still be okay with it.

Also considering how huge and popular VB is it would be really stupid of them discontinue.
