Are we talking about the green guy? He's a Guild member, I think. The Hammerhead guy, I dunno specifically.

He's the guy in Fallen Arches who doesn't know the difference between Blackulas and African American vampires.

He's also the one who asks "what if your name starts with no earthly letter?" in "Bright Lights, Dean City." He pops up all over the place.

Rico (Recombinant Lusus Naturae) the ball-sniffing monkey-man from the Halloween Episode was on one of the boats of freaks.

I'm watching this right now and am so confused and so happy- this show was worth the wait, like how gloriously dark and crazy can this show get?

A small detail: I loved how Venturestein's army all had brand new sneakers, because the leader of the revolution apparently spends his free time making them.

I thought this episode was really sweet  . I'll be happy if this is their "gently caress you fanboys for tying 'failure' to everything because we said it one time" season.

Everyone enjoying the new season so far? I feel like it's not scratching the itch I hoped it would. I don't know if it's been too long or my expectations from how fantastic the last season was, or if the drugs have ruined my pleasure center.

Eh, I like that they're going back to largely episodic things now, I think the last two seasons were a bit heavy in spots. But I always liked it best when stupid adventures and good jokes were happening.

I don't know if it's been too long or my expectations from how fantastic the last season was, or if the drugs have ruined my pleasure center. Thus far, I think it's brilliant. Unbelievably funny in parts. Seconding the love for the episodic nature, at the moment, though I doubt I'll be upset if this season has some heavier bits to it. These first two episodes (I'm not counting the Halloween episode) have been great and I think they'd work wonderfully as introductions to friends of mine who've never watched it--though there's a lot of baggage that wouldn't make sense if you went back to Season 1 (lack of Brock, competent Gary, emo-Dean, Hatred's breasts, etc.).

Maybe it's just I'm missing Brock and the monarch and the osi guys. Not much face time with them yet. Hatreds flashback was promising.

Holy poo poo. Is Venturestein built from the remains of henchman 24? Doc said he built him from one of Monarch's henchman and the batman masked showed he was a nerd.

No, he's not at all. Did you never watch the previous seasons? He was in season 2. He's basically some unnamed henchmen. It was a pretty cool introduction to him because of the POV of a henchmen was great. Seeing the bodies/corpses and Brock coming in for the kill.

Cobalt Chloride posted:Eh, I like that they're going back to largely episodic things now, I think the last two seasons were a bit heavy in spots. But I always liked it best when stupid adventures and good jokes were happening. Definitely. One of the reasons I loved the first season so much was because of the little things that tied the show together, while allowing each episode to remain self-contained. Like Dr. Venture's nightmares, or the Brisbyland bee, which both eventually wound up serving a purpose. Two is still my favorite season, because three became too overly focused on making a big deal about revealing the past, and four started to get, as you said, heavy with itself. Venture Libre felt like it was getting back to its Johnny Quest-parody roots.

Let's face facts, Hatred really isn't their bodyguard at this point. He's just another hosed up member of the household.

Question : does anyone know where I could see the preview for next week's episode? I missed the broadcast.Bobulus posted:I'm trying to remember, have we ever seen Hatred actually use physical force, or otherwise show that he might have above average strength? Of course, Brock kicks in a steel door with his foot, so it may not be that impressive. Amedeus posted:I like to think of him as their nanny.

I thought maybe it was from the show. Unless I missed the line this episode, it is not. I also got some very odd results. So, uh,  I also would not have googled it if it had not made me laugh. I read it in Hank's voice.

Someone said this in here already but Haine is French for hatred so there's that at least.

Courtney does has an interesting little factoid on Wikipedia, though.Wikipedia posted:Courtney was used as a given name for men beginning at least as far back as the 17th Century (e.g. the British Member of Parliament Sir Courtney Pool, 1677[1]). As a given name for women, however, it gained wide acceptance only in the years following the 1956 publication of the novel "Chocolates for Breakfast", by Pamela Moore, whose protagonist Courtney Farrell sometimes wishes she had been born a man.

Pick posted:I must be one of the only people who likes Hatred more than Brock. I just love his goofy enthusiasm and bizarre outbursts I like Hatred.  His gungho attitude and weirdness plays off as a really nice contrast to how generally cool, collected, and normal Brock is/was as the Venture bodyguard. I imagine writing jokes and comedy for Hatred is easier than Brock, but the household doesn't really have a straight man anymore, although Dean is starting to sort of become one.

If you want to overthink the whole thing, It's kind of funny that his full name is technically 'Courtney Hate', an interesting spin on 'Courtney Love'.
