It's one of my favorites because, I mean, come on--a bona fide march in 5/4 time? Who does that? At the end of the episode where they're rebuilding the cocoon, the music you hear when all the villains show up to help is also from that suite: "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity." That's probably one of my favorite movements from the whole thing.

I don't know if my favorite music moment in the series is the beginning of season 2 with Everybody's Free or the end of Operation PROM with Like A Friend. I think Pulp might barely edge it out.

Everything about that cold open is good.
It's perfect. And, this is the first time we see the proper Season 2 title sequence. I miss the title sequences, because the first episode was always different than the rest of the episodes', and I thought that was pretty cool.

tarlibone posted:[*]One of my favorite moments that would have made the sequence great if it had ended here: the Monarch slams the phone down, which falls because everything is sideways. Then he tries to climb up, but he falls, landing on a door... which then opens, causing him to fall down the hallway, into the darkness. I love the thought that he probably went through 3 or 4 doors before the shape of the hallway gave him something to grip. Best of all from a comic-delivery standpoint is that he's falling SILENTLY and WORDLESSLY into the abyss. If he were screaming in terror as he fell it wouldn't be anywhere near as funny as how apparently what's going through his head is "oh for gently caress'S sake".

I hadn't thought about that, but you're right. Also, I think that "OH FOR gently caress'S SAKE" is going to be the epitaph on Monarch's and Doc's tombstones. What does Hank want on his? Pepperoni.

He pretty much got the cussing out the way climbing to the phone in his sideways command room. The Monarch does his best to roll with the punches in that season.

Is there a season finale that doesn’t involve The Monarch having a really bad time? He’s in jail for S1, his wedding gets attacked in S2, his power armor makes him barf in S3 followed by one of his best henchmen dying, S4 has 21 quit on him, S6 has him kidnapped and S7 has him find out his archenemy is his brother. I think he may avoid that with S5 but I don’t really remember that finale.

That’s why he works so well. Yeah, he’s a villain but you root for him to succeed so the poor guy can catch a break. One of my favorite parts of season 5 is when him and venture are talking about how messed up their lives are.

I also consider the scene of the Monarch emerging from the sewer pipe after his prison escape to be part of the same cavalcade of amazing comedic moments. “Oh thank god! I thought the whole plan went down the — WAT.” That was an ATHF-grade (or Ghosts of the Sargasso grade) smash-cut-to-credits moment right there.

I think one of ny favorite things to happen right before the smash cut to credits was in "Perchance to Dean," when the deformed Dean clone hugs one of Hatred's fake Docs, which explodes. Doc sees just the explosion and asks, "Who the gently caress was that?" And then Thirlwell kicks in. Deformed Dean and Doc spent the whole episode unaware of each other's activities, and that problem took care of itself.

Perchance to Dean has the prog rock opening, though, which is top-tier.

I'm not the biggest fan of Guess Whose Coming to State Dinner? either, but it is worth it for the ending of Ghost Lincoln cheekily saying "penny for his thoughts?". I could pretty much just take Ghost Lincoln from that episode and leave most other things.

I feel like I’m the only one that really likes that episode, even in the art book Hammer and Publick just talk about why they think it didn’t work for like two pages. Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Yeah not a favorite of mine - after season 1 I usually skip assassinanny 911, Dr quymn, state dinner, and that one. I skip Doctor Quymn too sometimes, something about it just really doesn’t work for me. I usually skip What Color is your Cleansuit but I actually watched it on my latest rewatch and it was better than I remember but man it would be better without Aziz voicing a character.

I think it's just that he's fallen into a hole of pink floyd and wasn't ready for it. The only episode I really don't like is the one where they crash in Unterland. Mostly because I don't like when people are trapped in lovely situations.

One thing I always appreciate about the Brisby episode is that in making a villainous expy of Walt Disney they didn't go the lazy way like a lot of shows would and have him be a racist and/or antisemitic(which have no real basis) and instead had Brisby's nefarious aspects be based on Walt's actual flaws but magnified to the extent the role needed
