reignofevil posted:But who is that pale skinned fellow all in black. Sure it reminds me of that pete white fellow but on the other hand maybe the creators were intentionally making them look very similar in order to fool me. You're right, but it wasn't in order to fool you! That's actually Rusty's mental image of Pete White, so it makes sense that you'd see some similarities.

Phenotype posted:I just didn't understand why, if the prostitutes were all Blackhearts, they hadn't attacked the party by the time Brock crashes in with his knife in his hand. I guess that explains while they're having a good time, if they were all date-rape-drugged. I just figured the Spanish Fly didn't have any effect up until they all turned into monsters, since you usually can't count on Rusty's inventions to do what they're supposed to. Think of it in terms of going too far. The drug, I mean. Well, yeah, Rusty went too far, but... OK... just talking about the drug. At first, it works as intended: the ladies get fuzzy-headed and physically aroused. So Pete White gets a BJ, some of the others ladies are making out with some of the guests, and everything is going mellow--the mission is forgotten because they've got other things on their minds. Namely, how to scratch a sudden itch they have in a spot that they probably don't know is slightly mutated to facilitate such scratching of said itches. Brock arrives one minute late. Things are going good. But, the drug keeps working, and the girls continue to mutate. And then, boom: brundleflies.

Yeah, there's no way Dermott's (justifiably) vindictive grandmother would want to take advantage of Rusty's new found Nor would it be out of the question for Dermott's mom, who has the hots for Hank, to comeback in the picture now that Hank is starting to have a (relatively) healthy relationship.

I'm mean, we've already said the show isn't a puzzlebox because it isn't written that way. We know they were Blackhearts simply from the evidence and statements by the people who wrote the show. Whether or not they were supposed to attack and we're overwhelmed by doc's Spanish fly or if Molotov was bluffing on what they were doing they're is irrelevant. The scene played out the way it did because it was a cool as gently caress musical/animation sequence that ended on a perfect coda for Brock.

Hah, I'm not arguing here, that picture posted last page was pretty definitive. I didn't know there was official word on it either way, I just assumed it was a bluff because of how it played out. I've never gone back and checked the prostitutes against the Blackhearts or whatever.drrockso20 posted:If they aren't then it kinda leaves a massive plot hole regarding that group since they never get brought up again even though they should be kinda important Well that's not really true. None of them even had names or gimmicks. What happened to the nameless OSI mooks who survived the battle with the Monarch? You can just assume they broke up or some of them are running mission control the next time you see Mol, or something. Phenotype fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Aug 7, 2018 |

Counterpoint, Molotov knows drat well if she slaughtered the Venture clan, Brock would stop at nothing to bury her. No more cat and mouse, no more second chances, just brutal death would be coming for her. That's not something she wants.

Also Jonas Sr becoming a permanent character and being instantly killed by Pete's axe are both equally unlikely and bad ideas

That's not something she wants. brock and molotov are shown to be equally matched, i dont think she's worried about that. she just needs to get brock to go somewhere else for a while and the best way to do that is threaten to kill the boys

Thinking about stuff from episode 2 of this new season... What was the deal with with the Blue Morpho basement switcheroo? Did 21 tilt the candle a different way and it opened to a different room? Did the real Blue Morpho come back and do something so his secret room couldn't be found anymore? Are we supposed to think that 21 was crazy and it was always a lovely basement? In any case, why write it this way? Why is it important to the story that DMTM not see the hideout? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Not sure what the in-universe explanation will be, but the out of universe reason would presumably to get the Monarch in the clear: with the other Blue Morpho showing up, people will assume that Monarch was merely taking advantage of the Blue Morpho situation and pretending to be him to try to spook Wide Wale out of arching Venture, while DMTM writes off Gary's confession as him being crazy or something

Random thoughts I really like the part in the first episode where Doc told Orpheus that they aren't friends and Orpheus completely mishears him and no one corrects him. In the second episode I really like when DMTM tries to assure Gary after snapping at him

For some reason, the thing that made me laugh the most in ep 1 was The Alchemist quoting Stevie Wonder's Living For the City as he got out of the car. "Skyscrapers, and everything!"
