Who knows what lunatic is subtitling the Netflix version. It could be Brainulo, trying to cause trouble by getting goons to argue about something on the Internet. And for the record, Brock was getting the boys' clothes so he could get their IDs. It's why the IDs are all charred when they get them in "Hate Floats."

tarlibone posted:As for what I don't like... well, I would like to see some genius from Doc. Somewhat misguided, perhaps mildly evil, dangerously lazy but still undeniable genius. I haven't seen much like it since the joy can. The really sad thing about Doc is that I get the feeling that if he weren't the 'Head' of his lab, he'd really excel. He's obviously gifted when it comes to science, I just think that he's not much of an idea man. If he was part of a team, if he wasn't thrust into the limelight because of his father's accomplishments, maybe even if he and JJ had been born at the same time, I think he could have contributed a lot to the scientific community. As it is though, he was set up for failure because his 'original' ideas are either unethical (Joycan, Oo-ray, Venturestein), not very good (GUARDO), or just rehashes of his Dad's old stuff (Hoverboots, Walking Eye, Learning Beds). But, put him in a situation where he needs to solve a defined problem, like losing his kidneys, and he has no problem turning HELPeR into a makeshift dialysis machine.

Bust Rodd posted:Honestly I could use more of the Rusty we see when he is in the sewers with the cult. He just uses his insane luck/charisma to sweep them, and then when it turns to actual adventuring, he is able to shimmy up the rocket and slip out of the ropes like a circus monkey. i love that he was forced to grow up comepletely raw and want to see more of that scrappy resourcefulness, even in the lab, because it's his most redeeming quality for me. Urbaniak's delivery of "I KILLED YOUR GOD" gets me every time in that episode. Doc's become so jaded by the super science and adventuring lifestyle that, even when being held hostage by a cult who worships his dad and lives in the tunnels under his house, he's more annoyed by the situation than scared. It reminds me of the opening of Escape to the House of Mummies when the leader of the Osiris cult demands "Give me the hand of Osiris" and Doc responds "Give me head." He's seen this shtick before, he's seen it over and over again since he was a kid, and he can't even force himself to play along anymore. I think little jabs like that are Rusty's way of getting back at Jonas for filling his childhood with all the superscientist/supervillain crap. He sees through the charade now, he knows that supervillains enjoy the 'game' much more than actually blowing up the earth's core or whatever they're threatening to do, and by refusing to take it seriously he's calling his Dad out for caring about it so much.

It became clear he just read some wiki pages and saw The Monarch's real name is Malcolm and wanted to seem like he was hip to Venture Brothers. Whaaaaaat, is that in any of the episodes because I've watched this show quite a bit and I don't remember it ever coming up.

Squeeze squeeze "oh I'm keeping this" and he slides it up his sleeve. That doesn't mean that the joke was it was his dick. It could have been the invisible arm that Phantom Limb had to have Dr. Impossible regenerate. Fake Rubber Fists are a thing.

"At that point" is regardless. They've fleshed it out now and I'm not going to ignore all of it just to make a joke work. If, in the three seasons since that episode, they've mentioned Phantom Limb having an invisible dick or losing an invisible dick or Al having an invisible dick, that would be confirmation of what you're saying. They haven't. They HAVE made the fact that Phantom Limb had to reach out to Dr. Impossible to regrow his missing Arm and Leg part of the show.

I'm pointing out that in that show with a shapeshifting not-Bowie, clone boys, and dog Hitler, there was a scene where Phantom Limb put his limbs in muscle growth accelerators and gave himself invisible arms and legs. There is not a scene in this show where he puts his dick in a muscle growth accelerator and gives himself an invisible dick. That does not happen on screen during this show. EDIT: And I'm really not sure why that is such controversial information

Dazerbeams posted:What guy wouldn't give his dick electrical invisibility powers if they could? Phantom Limb perfected his growth accelerator machine off screen and gave himself another upgrade. That is a possible explanation. It requires an assumption of events we aren't privy to, but it also makes sense. All I said in my first post was that it doesn't NECESSARILY have to be Phantom Limb's invisible dick for the joke to still work.

Dr. Girlfriend was pinned under Phantom Limb's leg. Al also picks up an unspecified invisible part of him. Phantom Limb is missing an arm and a leg the next time he appears in the show. Just saying it could be his arm

X_Toad posted:Not in that show it isn't. I've been saying "PLOT HOLE! AH!" ever since the revelation about Dermot and nobody paid attention to it! May I remember you that Doc admitted to not having had sex in 19 years back in the Qwymm episode? Well, that also might be the result of Doc denying/repressing reality, but I see your point. There's plenty of contradictions between Trial of the Monarch and Shadowman 9 in regard to Dr. Girlfriend and The Monarch's backstory as well. EDIT: The bit of dialogue from Trial of the Monarch I'm talking about : Monarch: And there's a whole collage of you and Phantom Limb. Dr. Girlfriend: All right, fine! I used to work for him. So what? Monarch: Holy crap! Look at your costume! What, did Frank Frazetta design it for you? It's tiny! I can see your dirty pillows! Except that we know that the Monarch knows Dr. Girlfriend used to work for Phantom Limb and what costume she was wearing at the time, because that's how they met.

tarlibone posted:It's true that nobody in the Ventureverse is an eyewitness to the Sovereign's death. The OSIfolk know that Head Shot killed a bird, but that's as close as it gets. Killinger and The Master both probably know. Also, The Master is the only other shapeshifter in the series besides The Sovereign, right? Their names are pretty similar, too. Like The Monarch and The Viceroy. Maybe Sovereign was a wayward pupil of The Master.

Tatsuta Age posted:I think the point there was just 'it's been so long, I can't believe how loving skimpy that costume was'. Yeah, I could see that. Also, from a little later in that same episode, Monarch: Holy crap! What are you wearing? Is that your Queen Etherea suit? You're wearing your old costume now? Dr. Girlfriend: My clothes were wet, and he- Monarch: I can't believe you're falling for that floating smooth-talking jackass! I can't even look at you in that slut slut slutty slut suit! Dr. Girlfriend: I was wearing this when you first met me. I don't remember you complaining then. Monarch: That's because I had you out of that rag within the first five minutes of meeting you. I made you the Monarch's! This conversation implies that he remembers more than he's willing to admit during his original testimony. Also, the original dialogue I posted is his TESTIMONY, so it would make sense that he'd tell the story in a way that makes him look better (the unaware boyfriend having problems dealing with newfound details about his partner's past) than the truth (an aware boyfriend having problems dealing with that information being made public, even though he already knew it).
