RandallODim posted:Having just rewatched the episode, it was definitely just a badly phrased line. The lines are supposed to parse as "He was a henchman for some prick in a butterfly costume! Two [henchmen] actually!" Because Venturestein was technically two henchmen, who are now one Venturestein. This is the joke.

I think you guys are misinterpreting the line, seemed like he was explaining venturesteins ridiculous origin and mocking his former attire to discredit him as leader, not lumping together the monarch and Dr. Girlfriend's style choices. Edit: beaten

Another question about the authors : does Jackson Publick have more experience as a VA than Doc Hammer from previous work? He seems to have a greater range and the list of characters he voices is just huge.

My money is on Jonas going the rusty route and slapping c4 and a reskin on an ipad and then renaming it jpad.

You know I rewatched that episode where Henry von Killinger made Rusty a supervillain, and I actually think it would've been fun for at least a few episodes. VENCHMANNNNNNN!

Of course, one thing to keep in mind about Hatred is that he's definitely not in his prime anymore. He's the oldest of the regular cast after all, and he didn't age gracefully.

The reanimated corpses all have bombs inside of them in order to kamikaze the enemy. But they themselves detonate their own bombs. That's why Venturestein never blew up. He realized what was going on and chose not to. The jPad has its own bomb inside that, as you say, is activated with the cherry bomb icon on the jPad itself.

Hatred's been shown holding his own while struggling with Gary/21, so he's not entirely out of shape.

Entropic posted:So how many times has the X-1 crashed now? I think its only three right? Once by a giant magnet in Ünderland/Michigan, then that assassin shoots it down in season 4, and then this episode. I thought it was more. And who keeps repairing it? Is it just one of those things Rusty is actually good at like the cloning, or was it one of Brock's many job? They'll probably end up fly coach or drive a beat up 92 Honda civic to their next adventure.

They'll probably end up fly coach or drive a beat up 92 Honda civic to their next adventure. Jonas had a mostly automated factory to produce X1s on the compound, and when he kicked the bucket Rusty managed to work out how to fully automate it so he didn't have to keep paying the workers. Simple.

And I'm sure there are plenty more that we're both forgetting. But supersonic jet crashes are just so much fun to watch, is it any wonder?

The forming of the Revenge Society kind of ruined a lot of good prospects, too. It would be fun to see him try and help somebody who doesn't want to be helped, though.

X_Toad posted:That was through ingenuity and quick thinking though, he didn't display any sort of super-strength. I'm not sure Brock would have needed to weaken the glass before crashing through it, for example. He does push through a bunch of tranq darts to do it, but yeah even that episode puts a point on how old and out of shape he is.

Silver Gadget posted:Ünderland/Michigan This has to be one of the best Venture Bros. moments in the entire series. The reveal of Ünderland being a small country somewhere in Michigan is just too perfect. What's even better is that when I'm making my wife watch the series with me after all these years I completely forgot about it. It was just as amazing as the first time. On that note, what's everyone's personal favorite moments? You can't say Major Tom, because that's everyone's favorite.

Probably, "Nnnnnnice rear end, Sampson," or, "The guy from Labyrinth just turned into a bird!" Maybe the "I'm going to kill your boys!"/"Join the club," convo from House of Mummies. Whatever my favorite is, it's probably from Season 2.

Actually, now I'm thinking Scott could be involved with the Revenge Society somehow since he couldn't cut being a villain alone. He'll probably try to join and a running joke will occur where we constantly think he died. Kind of like the Kenny McCormick of the Venturverse.
