If you ask a super scientist to build a bionic eye they'll inevitably end up building a walking eye instead. Who could resist the allure of the walking eye?

That's why the promises of the jet age never came to realization. You can't have a world of flying cars and all that other good stuff when all of the superscientists who could make it happen are being constantly arched by antagonists. Honestly, that might actually be a good thing for humanity, and if that's how the villains see it (at least on some level), then their aversion to the pejorative "bad guy" makes a lot more sense. They know, even if the "good guys" don't, that their dastardly deeds have an objectively positive net impact on the world. Also, can we just appreciate how VB basically turned "arch" into a verb so seamlessly? And how much work we, the fans, have to do to push "superscientist" further into the lexicon?

The OSI being connected to some ridiculous conspiracy Illuminati we never see makes a lot of sense with their role as brutal enforcers of the status quo. Also comes to mind that a LOT about the OSI and its flagship (like the Nozzle) makes sense as basically a clearing house of random mad science poo poo they commissioned, bought or otherwise acquired.

There's exactly one super scientist who ever made a significant change to everyday life for the masses. And it's JJ. And it's not superscience devices but the VBverse version of the iPhone and iPad.

Really though, was JJ a super scientist? I mean, yeah, Gargantua 2, but it was a hotel/casino. Everything else was consumer electronics. Anything super science-like died in the basement of the Venture tower and archived. He had the chops to be a super scientist, but he was wholly uninterested in actually doing it. JJ was a capitalist and his biggest vanity project was a floating vacation spot for the rich and influential. I bet he didn't even visit Enzo ONCE when he was in NY.

JJ: I've got most of them complete. I think there are two left. Yeah.The sound that kills and a teleporter. Dibs on the killing sound. Rusty: Dibs? Screw you! Those are my contracts! JJ: They were addressed to Dr. Venture, and since you've been gone I've received two doctorates. So I'm a Dr. Venture, too. Rusty: I was only gone a month. JJ: You can have the teleporter. Rusty: Fine. I'll clean up your mess. JJ: Great! I'm half done with it. It's in the manufacturing wing. I put your staff on the job.

Honestly once he got the murder attempt out of his system JJ ended up amazingly well adjusted for someone who spent the first forty something years of his existence as a tumor

S1 Jonas sucks as a character but after that his inflections are great. If I say Go Team Venture out loud it’s exactly how he says it walking the lady out of spider skull island after she mentions her bi-kini And yeah he’s very much more obsessed with the commercial success of Jonas Sr compared to Rusty trying to live up to the wacky being a huge piece of poo poo aspects.

I do like how they had fun with the idea of someone who doesn't know the super-scientist game, which Rusty for all his many flaws understands all too well.

JJ was just the right blend of being arrogant and being actually a good guy to make him infuriating to his brother(s).

And it's so in character Rusty would think something that stupid. I just love after all that back and forth the teleporter was used to transport the Guild to the loving HQ. That and trying to kidnap Brock. Which went poorly. Shindragon fucked around with this message at 20:55 on May 15, 2022 |

They were literally calculating how many henchmen they had to throw away on Brock so they could use Doc for the whole ritual.

Yeah the fact that Dr Venture personally knows a bunch of people in the Illuminati was a clue that it was fake. There's literally no reason for Dr. Mrs. The Monarch to be there, but OSI knows that she's his type. And one of the silhouettes is just the Mexican university dean that he met in season 1 lol

I like to think that it was both. Does the sex dungeon exist? No. Are all those people that turn up in there because of invention that the government wants to surpress getting a VR BJ? You bet.

I mean more the frequent allusions that OSI characters made to the Secret President and Hunter Gathers mentioning the Second American Revolution- 'the invisible one!' and all. What with being a universe where genre fiction, especially the cheesy pulp, is mostly true, makes sense that there's a bunch of airport thriller poo poo going on in the background that justifies how vague and seemingly unaccountable the OSI is. Rusty getting invited to the Illuminati doing a bunch of Eyes Wide Shut stuff is obviously playing to his ego and worldview but he's probably not entirely wrong. Especially since it comes down to presenting him with the options available to him- play along with the status quo or get quietly brutally murdered. TK-42-1 posted:I love how excited Brock is to gently caress with some blackouts but then eventually gets bored again. So bored he starts using a sword. He's basically a slasher movie villain.

Brock was always a slasher movie villian. First episode he gets hit with a truck and buried alive but comes back to deliver one of the greatest lines in the series before brutally killing a poo poo load of henchman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdgD8OP04RE
