Dang it, I even questioned including her in the list cause she always sounded a little distorted, but I thought I was good enough at identifying their voices by now!

They do that every so often, like with Vain Gloria (the Eartha Kitt-sounding lady who has one line at Sgt. Hatred's party). The hosed up part is that Stephen Colbert did want to come back and do the voice, but his agent or whoever immediately turned it down and didn't know about it.

Colbert voiced Professor Impossible in seasons 1 and 2, Publick did the voice in season 3, Hader took over in season 4, and Colbert came back for the Gargantua special. Also I think Publick's brother voiced him in the pilot?

I do like how they hammer home Jonas is such a huge piece of poo poo that he ends up doing horrible things to people who consider him a friend without a second thought. Like, Rusty knows at least to use people no one cares about as fodder for his experiments. Considering everything we know about Jonas, it was probably both.

feetnotes posted:I don't think it holds a lot of water to say they "weren't able to" hire female voice actors until later seasons. There were plenty of women voice actors from early on, from one-offs like Dr. Quymn and family, Moira (though she came back later), the saleswoman when Doc and Dean go to buy his first speed suit, or Lt. Baldavich, to recurring roles like Molotov and Triana. I think Doc and Jackson have said at some point the lack of female influence in Rusty's life in particular is part of the point; that the super-science adventurer Jonny Quest lifestyle is male-dominated, where women are objectified and ignored, and the results of that can be seen with Rusty and the boys having no idea how to act around girls and having to figure it out from first principles, which obviously reflects on how badly their initial relationships go. (Frankly, it's a surprise that Hank and Dean aren't much worse)

I'm doing a full watch-through for the first time after catching bits and bobs on Adult Swim many years ago, and man the first two seasons have not aged well. The amount of homophobic, transphobic and ableist "jokes," is a really unfortunate time capsule. I hope the show moves away from this particular style of "humor," soon or it'll be hard to keep watching.

VB's original pilot was put out in 2000 or 2001, and these days what I remember most of it was Dr. Venture being gay as a joke and Dr. Girlfriend clearly being set up for trans jokes (some made it into the show proper, but never at her expense thankfully). It existed over a longer period of time than most shows due to its long seasonal development cycle, so it's a rare case of its seasons being products of their times rather than the entire show itself. If your humor can't evolve with the times and your own understanding, you're a hack. Thankfully, Publick and Hammer weren't hacks. It still makes it hard to show the earlier seasons to friends, and it's hard to skip over them too since a lot of their stuff is foundational to the series as a whole.

I think it helps that the whole concept of the show lends itself more to examining issues of sexism and objectification critically rather than taking them for granted. Like, the stuff with Dr Girlfriend's backstory is from her perspective dealing with sexism both institutional and personal, and puts her character and relationships into a new light. Also, Warriana is a funny one given she comes off as a hella dated stereotype especially for the time at first glance, but actually works due to some humanisation and ridiculous mythology deep cuts, and Brock actually coming around and finding he's into her. (or maybe he has a thing for women who are missing one of two things)

Brock likes women who aren't infatuated with him. If you notice, whenever a woman goes out of their way to try and seduce him, he's all  about them. Sure, he might sleep with them, but he has zero interest in seeing them again. He likes teasers who make him work for it.  Alexis/Warriana keeps him on his toes. Probably literally, most of the time. >.> Her complete absence in the last season was one of the worst parts of it but I guess Kate McKinnon had better/more profitable things to do.

How is it, 20 years later, I'm still "getting" jokes? My friend's retired parents are apparently raising some monarch butterflies as a hobby. I was reading up on the wiki for the monarch butterfly and stumbled across a factoid. All this time, I though Gary chose the name Viceroy due to its title having similar connotation to King(Monarch). But that wasn't just it, the viceroy butterfly is a well known mimic of the monarch butterfly.

The real funny thing is that the Monarch himself doesn't know anything about the butterflies and Dr Girlfriend is the one who has to tell him they only live about nine months, that 'monarch' is also a term for royalty, etc. Kind of a vibe that at least half of costumed super-scientists, heroes and villains are, of course, massive goddamn nerds, while the other are obsessive lunatics with particularly bizarre fixations, with some overlap.
