I watched Now Museum Now You Don't and thought it was on point when Prof Impossible put his mouth over the bomb and ended up saving everyone and everyone praised him for his ingenuity and bravery. Then everyone left and Pirate Captain said "you were trying to kill yourself, weren't you."

I love it when he walks in on Sally, who is getting dressed. She's naked, tries to cover herself, and her skin goes invisible. Sally screams. Pirate screams. Sally screams louder. Pirate, seeing Mrs. Visible Woman, covers his eye, screams in horror, and dives behind a wall. Sorry! Sorry! Geez, this is all kinds of uncomfortable. On, like, a couple of levels, here.

qirex posted:“Is Brock Samson jealous of my super sweet death ray?” Is probably my favorite Jonas Jr. line. Their entire discussion about the VINTAGE Death Ray like they're discussing an old car is gold. Season 3 was a very large step up from 1-2, as everyone promised, almost every episode was a banger. Season 4's kickoff was also bananas, and I'm excited to see what comes next with the insane new status quo. Hunter apparently faking being trans as part of some kind of bizarre quintupple-agent scheme was kind of a bummer, I had actually really appreciated how the show had MOSTLY not taking her (his?) transition for granted in any way and just accepted her as a woman with barely even a comment on it.

My read was that Hunter is trans but had to detransition for spy reasons, they talk about missing having breasts, for instance

Yeah. In the chronology of the VB story, way before--his physical transition, in "The Invisible Hand of Fate," when Billy says he wanted to go to MIT, Hunter says, "And I wanted to be born with big, beautiful tits!" Most men don't express the desire to be born with tits of any kind, much less big ones, and even if they're beautiful. I think his story has, like most things VB, evolved. When he first physically transitioned (or confirmed; sorry, don't mean to offend, but I do not know the lingo), I think the implication was that he was doing it specifically to retire safely. That episode establishes the whole "no women, no children" chivalry (or benevolent sexism) aspect to the spy game. Kill anyone you need or want to. Just, you know, not if they're a child or a woman. No exceptions, unless they're also a dracula, which makes them fictitious according to Hunter. (Not sure about their rule on blackulas, which do exist in the VB canon.) I think the actual trans aspect to his character was simply added in later out of convenience. It gave a more character-building explanation to his physical transition, and it provided them not only with another woman who has a man's voice, but one whose face was clearly and unapologetically coded male. Then again, I could be wrong--was Hunter seen with that antique cigarette holder in the episode "Assassinanny 911?" Because while not exactly a dead giveaway of female identity, those cigarette holders (especially the long ones like Hunter uses) were generally associated with women.

Well obviously the whole joke with Hunter (and the OSI) is that just like in the movies, everything is a septuple bluff of increasingly ridiculously proportions. Venture Bros was really good

Hunter Gathers is modeled on Hunter S. Thompson; the voice, glasses, hairline, and the cigarette holder are all references to the late journalist. Thompson wasn’t trans, though, and he had a history of misogyny and homophobia.

So the cigarette holder thing isn't a clue, then. OK, I'm back to thinking that his physical transformation in "Assassinanny 911" was done largely because it was an anti-murder loophole, and his trans identity was retconned in out of convenience to advance his character later. Which, well, is about as Venture Bros. as you can get.

Pretty much every bit of serialization on this show was from them going and rewatching the whole series every time they would start writing a new season and I love it. It ends up feeling a lot more tightly plotted than a lot of shows that plan ahead, there’s not really plot lines that sputter out or anything

So the cigarette holder thing isn't a clue, then. the sunglasses, mumbling manic speech, intensity, cig holder, and substance abuse are all essential aspects of the hunter thompson caricature - and not very far from the man himself. like the hunter gathers -> hunter thompson similarities are super telegraphed, to the point that i think they dropped the whole awkward trans thing because it was simply overwhelmed by the characterization. hunter gathers can't be trans because hunter thompson isn't trans, and hunter gathers is basically just hunter thompson dunked into the venture universe johnny depp played him in this movie which is a sort of psychedelic version of the man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m662obIvhY and uh this clip is too good not to post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHeSC_Ws5Ic Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Apr 5, 2021 |

The Criterion edition of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has a commentary track featuring Thompson. He has some insights about writing the book, some stories about helping Johnny Depp get into character, and a lot of unprompted screaming.

Regarding living with HST for a few months before filming Fear and Loathing:quote:"He hands me a propane tank — I've got a cigarette hanging out of my mouth — and he hands me this thing about the size of a matchbox and says, 'Tape these on the propane canister.' I was, 'What are these things?' and he says, 'Oh, that's nitroglycerin.' The cigarette immediately went in the sink." After completing the bomb, Thompson had Depp shoot it in the backyard. Depp hit it on his very first try, resulting in what Depp recounted as "a seventy-five-foot explosion, an enormous, huge burst of fire."

Probably rewound and watched it for a good ten minutes until I stopped laughing enough to keep watching the rest of the episode. Then I laughed at her "edict."
