VB content: There is a Transmetropolitan reference in Venture Bros. The glasses the Sovereign wears when he appears to Rusty pretending to be "You! From the future!!" in The Revenge Society are a mirror-image reversal of Spider Jerusalem's dataglasses.

The Transients are a bit of a weird case that come off as more a furry/otherkin metaphor sometimes. (Though there's always been some mixed signals there, especially since it seems probably the majority of furries are somewhere on the LBGT+ spectrum) That said, they also get objectified and fetishised by the same people who oppress them, resulting in a lot of them ending up in sex work, and their marginalisation makes them vulnerable to predatory and manipulative people. Hell, kinda the whole theme of Transmetropolitan is about how the newer generations are different in ways the older ones don't understand and are increasingly violently hostile to, which was way more on the money than anyone could have feared.

Final episode of OK KO: Let's Be Heroes had a cameo of Brick Frog in it, appropriate since the show's creator Ian JQ had worked on the show as his first professional animation gig

speaking of cartoon network shows with a tangential relation to VB, the recent show Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart (the show was originally going to be called I Love You Mao Mao but it turns out the world of international copyrights is a very complex place) has Jackson voice the main recurring villain (Orangusnake), one of his henchmen (Boss Hosstritch) and a few of the minor extras (plus it's made by Titmouse, so there's some crew overlap, like the show's creator having been one of the animators on the Shallow Gravy special) https://twitter.com/enjoy_mao_mao/status/1164708972437417984

Kind of re-watching the series from the beginning with the new french dub that is currently airing. The traduction is decent, as are the actors, but the Sargasso episode makes me sad that we don't have a stereotypical pirate accent.

Now I'm curious as to what would be the French version of a stereotypical Pirate accent, kinda like how Anime dubs will give characters from Osaka or Kansai stereotypical Southern or Texan accents

Reminded of how the Spanish dub of One Piece apparently originally played up the 'pirate' aspects a lot more with their version of pirate accents. And even a regional one; Usopp was styled after a Barbary Corsair.

TK-42-1 posted:How do they do the pun names? Like does Harangueutang work in french?  . Yesterday was only the third day of airing (three episodes each time) and from what I've seen, they've only planned to air season 1 through 3 for the moment (for context : the reason there is a dub in the first place is because Adult Swim itself has launched in France in July). Right now the only punny names I can remember are Baron von Underbheit (Baron von Schumâchoire) and Underland (Mâchoireland).Smiles with teeth should just not be a thing. At best it makes you look like a laughing horse, at worse it's creepy. X_Toad fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Sep 15, 2019 |

Wasn’t on this thread when the latest season came out but was there something going on with the voices in the first couple episodes? They sound kind of off and then it goes back to the same old after a bit. I think it was on some characters voiced by different people so it’s not like it was one person had a cold or something.

Phantom limb sounded like Stewie in the opening episodes, it was pretty jarring to me. I forget who else sounded weird though.

Phantom limb has always been voiced by James Urbaniak. If rusty sounded off, too, it might be because he had a cold or something.

With the exceptions of Rusty and maybe Brock, voice quality is proportional to theatricality.

I really hope they deliver on the time traveling Venture that’s apparently buried the hatchet with him from the blizzard episode. I think there’s a good story there.

The Monarch is such a great character that the writers manufactured a way to make him a Venture Brother. e: Of course what I posted earlier meant The Monarch is only the second-best character after DOCTOR ORPHEUS !!! why can't I find a Youtube video with just his majestic theme...

I could've sworn one of the albums has his theme but I could be misremembering. I just know one episode it plays nearly the whole thing but he's still talking. I could quote Byron Orpehus all day but still my favorite: GET ME MY BLUE WINNND BREAAAKER. edit: I'm very aware I posted that quote before but gently caress it the best one because just the dramatic sting stops for a second for Triana to interrupt him and then BAM STING again when he says BLUE WINNND BREAKER kills me everytime.

Dr. Orpheus was funnier than any other character on the show, and his prolonged absence from the last 2 seasons was palpable.

I still love that the Blood Vessel's license plates were the plates I grew up with, the classic Itallic Illinois jobs that lasted from 1984 to 2001. Truly a novel of graphic design? No, but an instant nostalgia rush. I wonder why they picked that particular plate style? In any event, it's cool when something random like that pops up.

I get a kick out of the fact that in the diner scene where they’re planning movie night, the ad on the back of a magazine is for a powder blue Nissan stanza. That car hadn’t come up since what, season 2?

We see it in all its final... glory?... as he bemoans the fact that he never finished paying Doug for the car. Ha. "Little midge-Hitlers." Forgot about that. * an amazingly hard word to spell right on the first three tries.
