There's no way that Doc Venture is all the way dead. If they really wanted to kill him off they'd make it more gruesome to really ram it in.

(also 24 is totally still alive in some weird way because one of Monstroso's henchmen recognized him :v:)

in the slate interview from a week ago, they talked about how a lot of things are related to the actions of the original venture crew, so it'll be interesting to see how it all pans put and what chickens are coming home to roost.

Is the season finale an hour long?
I'm pretty sure Hank and Dean, who are going to be sent to their godfathers per the finale description, are going to be living with two old Team Venture members

Monstroso's henchman used to hench for the Monarch.

That henchman was actually an unwitting psychic who could see Gary's brain-phantoms. Once he realized the extent of his abilities, he moved quickly up the Guild ladder.

Guys, I think Vendata is The Monarch's dad.

Also holy gently caress

Man, Jonas, Sr. really was an enormous son of a bitch, wasn't he? Guess that explains the Monarch's seething hate-on for the Ventures, if it's true.

My only reaction was a loud, sharp bark of a laugh. The second Brock said "It's just the Monarch, what's he gonna do," the fix was in - but that wasn't the resolution I was expecting.

All I'm saying is, Rusty suffered a catastrophic industry in the same episode we were introduced to the concept of Venture Industries' take on Robocop technology.

I think the way they'd do it is leave him possibly dead going into the finale and completely finish him off in the final episode.

I'll also echo all the holy poo poo in this thread. The only way this gets better is if the big finish is resolved by supermecha Treister showing up to be the deus ex machina.

That can't be right, Major Tom was in the crashed ship, we saw his body be resurrected by Rusty's time device.

Is this scene that was cut on youtube or was it never animated? I really want to see it now after tonight's insanely amazing episode :munch:

It's both amazing and terrible that they just dropped so many twists into the story with a single hour left to tide us for the next two to three years. Next week can't come soon enough.

I also thought Brock was going to go back to his roots when he was heading towards that stage.

This was an even better episode than O.S.I. Love You, mainly because the jokes were a bit thicker on the ground. Don Hell's guild nightclub was such a fun setting, and the guild guys are pretty solid material.

Holy poo poo what a great episode. I knew Dr Z was one of them. It is pretty great to see most of the guild members.

Also there is no way in hell Rusty died but it probably messed him up pretty badly.

No way would Monarch would want Rusty to die like that. He would want him to die by his HANDS.

It's a pity they keep having Rusty being shown as scared and panicked when hes in danger. I love the moments were he's just nonchalant and jaded as gently caress. I mean he's been dealing with poo poo like that nonstop for decades.

:tviv: I thought the Monarch was going to try and use an acid magnet on him or something, then WHAM. I laughed so hard I woke the whole house up. It's like the end to Season 3 all over again! Seriously, the only time Monarch or one of his minions successfully slays someone, it's completely by accident.

Also, Brock just leaving Vendata there, malfunctioning and poo poo. Cold, even for Brock. He could have at least sung him a song. :colbert:

Nah, they could have just grabbed him coming out of the restaurant if that's what the plan was. They just wanted to get him talking about his "co-workers", name them if possible. And I thought GhostRobot was killed in the Every Which Way but Zeus episode.

Also, what was Vandata/Major Tom saying at the end that's making you guys think he's Major Tom and The Monarch's father? I couldn't understand him. :(

So from what's been shown so far, the finale might reveal The Monarch is Jonas bastard son, Rusty did something to accidentally cause their plane to crash, which is why when Jonas brought him back as a Cyborg he choked Rusty, thinking they got his kid killed, and why the Monarch hates him

I'm pretty sure he isn't Major Tom since he was busy being a screaming skeleton in the first season.

Vendata might well be the Monarch's father since he kept asking where his wife was and their plane was crashing.
