 Just look at that sad quivering face. And Rust's deadpan face is just hilarious. Also to think, a few seasons later and he becomes The bat.

Wouldn't the animation be normal speed then? It all just moves way too fast. It's distracting. And I hate that there's anything that detracts from that sequence as a complete package.

prefect posted:For me, the weird part is looking at it from after having watched the episode and realizing that Doc is running away from his life in general, not because of any grief over Hank and Dean. I dunno considering what we saw in the episode where they went into Rusty's mind, I'd say that every time the boys died it ate at him, even if it was just a little bit(due to Doc being kinda messed up in the head), although if it happened now that clones are no longer a solution it'd probably break him

Doc becomes less terrible by retconning degrees. He's come a long way since the man who butchered an orphan to make a private masturbation chamber.

I am always partial to "until you're nothing but a pelvis wearing a belt!". The inflections on Fred/Ted slay me. That and the usage of iold school hanna barbara sound effects for really horrible stuff was great. I'm always curious, how many of you guessed who everyone was the first time?

I also loved that episode, but I'm pretty sure The Tick has made me biased towards anything that has Ben Edlund's name attached to it, especially a writing credit.

Doctor Venture is a great super scientist, it's just that almost every successful project he undertakes is a sin against man and god. He is amazing at bringing things back from the dead, for instance. Hank, Dean, Venturestein, that one congresswoman, Major Tom, and almost Hitler.

Another great episode with Henry Killinger. It is probably one of my favorite Rusty episodes because the writings on the wall. Rust is a jerk, he's no good guy. He's selfish, clearly only cares about himself and hates his twin brother. But is he a bad guy? What do you think brock?

Eh, I think Rusty being evil or villainous is kinda subjective. It kinda seems like Rusty is honestly emulating his father without the rose-tinted glasses. It's just not socially acceptable in the modern age to break a few eggs for your science omelette. I mean we've seen that Jonas Sr in spite of being seen as a heroic icon was capable of some monstrous behavior in the name of science; the guy gassed a group of orphans touring his facility and abandoned them, also abandoned the growing/shrinking team member Dr. Entmann in the same accident, dooming major Tom in another, and experimented with brain washing for military purposes. He also abandoned Hector and Swifty in the manufacturing wing for 20 years, and kinda ran Team Venture like a personal hit squad. All beyond being a completely self obsessed swinger who would pawn his kid off on anyone to chase strange. All sorta makes Rusty's indifference to orphan bodies, militarizing reanimated corpses, groupie humping, and lackadaisical parenting as an apple fallen not too far from the tree.

It's just not socially acceptable in the modern age to break a few eggs for your science omelette. Rusty is his father's son - at least character-wise. If anything, he hates his twin because 1) he reminds him of his father, and 2) everyone likes Jonas Jr. more even though it's been shown he has a good amount of his father's contempt for and penchant to use and abuse 'the little people.' But he also has *just* the right amount of 'desire to help his fellow man' that it makes Rusty hate him all the more because he's completely incapable (both morally and physically) of considering doing something that doesn't have a profit margin attached to it. If anything, I've always thought Brock was there to *keep* Rusty from becoming his father. Sort of like a really hosed up six-and-a-half-foot-tall moral compass with a really sharp point. Also, don't forget Rusty's Superego - it was basically a red-headed Jonas Sr. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Apr 21, 2014 |

Now that Rusty has basically assembled his own Team Venture, I want to see them start to fill the role of the old team. Maybe some tragedy wipes out the established superheroes and forces the OSI to turn to Rusty. Just something to merge the OSI and Venture storylines.

Jeffrey posted:I missed the post-credits scenes when I first saw season 1, I think the season 2 premier worked better without knowing they were clones. Oh boy, hate to drag this up again, because I know it's "I quit"/"I acquit" all over again*, but Doc says "get their clothes" in the post-credits sequence. If anything, "Are you There God, it's Me, Dean" was the confirmation they were clones, with Doc saying he should have fixed the testicular torsion problem in the prototype phase. And "The Incredible Mr.Brisby" lays down the groundwork for the cloning stuff, too. Though I do remember the fun speculation on how the series would continue. Clones was the primary front-runner, but other popular options were that the twins would be gone entirely, and "The Venture Brothers" would just mean Rusty and Jonas, or Dr.O would resurrect them with his magic, or perhaps even using Grover Cleveland's Presidential Time Machine to go back in time to rescue them. *Actually, I think this aired a couple years before that episode of The Office, so really, I quit/I acquit is a re-hash of "clothes/clones."

I think that "clones"/"clothes" thing was intentional, they set up a lot of different red herrings in season 1, and then they ran through them all in the season 2 opener.

That's one of the reasons I still love the Season 2 opener. Little things like the intro being changed to show Rusty and Jonas Jr. running around, and Jonas saying "But we're the Venture Brothers!" Nice fake out.

It's "clothes", clones makes no sense. The boys die all the time, sometimes in ways their bodies can't be recovered, and there are literally hundreds of slugs. Rusty is just too jaded and cheap to see beyond the 10$ of clothes on their back.
