JethroMcB posted:At this point the show is like 75% just Doc and Jackson arguing with each other in funny voices, and it works because the voices really are that good. Doc Hammer has said his basis for Red Mantle is "Drunk Obi-Wan Kenobi," which is just wonderful (And, when you're listening for it, spot on!) Wha? How? Neither one of them sound remotely like Kenobi IMO...

door Door door posted:Just realized that for seasons 2-4 they had incredibly epic sounding titles. "What Color is Your Cleansuit?" was an excellent episode but the titles pales a bit in comparison to "Powerless in the Face of Death," "Shadowman 9 in the Cradle of Destiny," and "Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel." It's a reference to "How Green Was Your Valley," a movie awful mining conditions. The color of the clean suits were green. My guess! VV huh, that fits better i guess. guidoanselmi fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jul 18, 2013 |

JethroMcB posted:Still kinda wish they had left Billy's arm unexplained forever, because "That's an excellent question; I have no idea." was among the show's greatest punchlines. The episode that gave us all the backstory was wonderful, but...something about the concept of a brilliant, discredited hydrocephalitic living with a mechanical limb and not giving a poo poo about where it came from. That's comedy. Have no fear, citizen, your precious joke remains unharmed for Master Billy Quizboy, Boy Genius didn't remember a thing until "The Invisible Hand of Fate." I don't know why I typed like that. It felt right.

I'm pretty sure that Jackson came up with Phantom Limb while working on the Tick, but knew that wouldn't work on a kids show.

So I watched this again last night, and find myself really hoping that Vendata isn't dead, and that he appears again in a later episode. Sure, he may be a super villain, but I just can't help but empathize with the poor guy

Midweek theory to argue over: Rusty's attitude toward the Orb changed drastically from the episode when he found it and treated it very carefully and said he needed to study it to "The Revenge Society," when he couldn't give less of a poo poo about it. Maybe Rusty was actually competent enough to figure its intended use AND that it was broken.

Pretty sure it is most likely considering the VA roles for nearly every character is done by the writers. I mean we got some others like Brandom Small etc but it's most likely a yes. At least they put variation. Unlike South Park.

I think part of the problem when you have a passion project like this is you tend to make a lot of last minute changes and make alot of alterations and those changes are WAY easier to make if the voices of your characters are always available and the easiest way to do that is just make yourself those voices.

So my joke theory for the finale: the Monarch, having finally crushed his arch-nemesis upon whom he's wasted decades of his life on some subconscious, borderline-psychotic hatred, realizes how empty his life is without his arch and/or how hollow his victory was as it was completely unplanned and not at his own hands (or he convinces himself it was planned all along, see: realizes how empty his life is), and decides to follow the lead from Rusty's scrapbook, and finally uncover the truth behind his parents, or at least more knowledge than the fact that he's been spending their inheritance on a giant flying cocoon and the Butter-Glider for years, and in the process, discovers Rusty has been re-living the events of "Powerless in the Face of Death" and has been on an almost 24/7 Ecstasy trip with Skye for however long the A-plot of the episode spans in TV-years.
