There was not a single wasted second in this episode. VB manages to pack more plot and character development into a half hour than most movies manage in two.

You know, looking at this thread again, I just realized something. If I could ask any question of Rusty Venture, it would be: "...Do you trim your eyebrows?" Followed by: "Does it look like the Monarch *ever* does?"

Captain Blaargh posted:Not sure if it's the case for that track, but the few original songs that aren't Thirlwell's are Doc Hammer's band doing horrible pseudo-covers like the fake Zeppelin and such. Or Doc And Jackson doing Shallow Gravy obviously. They did actually buy the rights to some song used in the climactic scene of the home-school prom episode, IIRC.

Oh my god, JJ is wearing a little admiral's uniform from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. And his security guys are wearing the same uniforms as the Federation Security goons in Search For Spock. Right down to the Gargantua logo, which looks a lot like the little Federation logo they had on their sleeves. Also, Hank is going to be the best spy. He beat all the other spies at baccarat.

As someone who spent the three worst years of his life in New Jersey, the "magnificent view of Elizabeth, NJ" line loving slayed me. Because that's exactly what it looks like. Also "Fetch me...

Tatsuta Age posted:Question: did I miss the insinuations of why the sovereign suddenly decided to go nuts? The investors or something? I don't get that part. As far as I can tell, the Sovereign had a deal with the Investors to keep control of the Guild and the bill was going to come due soon. Note that several other major players had deals with the Investors that came due (JJ, Monstroso) in a very short timeframe. My theory is that the Investors were going to assume direct control of the Guild and kill the current Sovereign, so the Sovereign decided to declare a scorched-earth policy and kill everyone who could threaten his position. When Killinger interfered, he panicked.

JT Jag posted:She honestly isn't portrayed well in the show. In her first appearance she's fed up with her aloof husband and goes out of her way to try and cheat on him, and in every future appearance she's kind of depicted as a hardass. I think the portrayal is fine, she just apparently has a "type", and that "type" is condescending douchebags, which causes understandable frustration on her part.

Red posted:It's neat that, in the universe of the show, the Rusty Venture cartoon is 35-40 years old, but there was enough interest from younger children to attend his day camp. I wonder if Rusty Venture is just a timeless nostalgia thing, like GI Joe or Spider-Man. ...Now imagine an episode about the Rusty Venture Show being rebooted.

twistedmentat posted:Al has great taste in music I assume. "All my signed albums are totally worthless now!" I've also been shafted with living in NY/NJ the last few years, so the local references crack me up too. "We are going to SPACE. Fetch me... A NEW JERSEY TRANSIT SCHEDULE!" Also in Gargantua-2, Rusty looks out his window at a tangled industrial mess of pipes. "I've got a beautiful view of Elizabeth, New Jersey!" I cracked up so hard because I know he's talking about the PSEG Cogeneration Plant.  Which is technically in Linden.

Tuxedo Ted posted:poo poo I just realized. The Monarch had to move into his old family home in Jersey, and the Ventures are taking over Jonas Jr.'s corporate HQ in New York. I hope there's an episode about the Monarch's crappy commute to go arch Venture. Edit: well I guess we already got some of that stuff in the pilot with the subway. FETCH ME A NEW JERSEY TRANSIT SCHEDULE I have done that commute. Nnnnngh.

Hank looks like he's wearing a Cobra Kai gi, which he has done in the past. Or maybe a metal t-shirt with the sleeves torn off, which also makes sense if he's gotten even more into Shallow Gravy. And Dean is in a wifebeater? Also, has the (new) Sovereign done something different with her hair? It goes well with the Guild uniform. It'll be cool to see her in the leadership role, though it'll absolutely gently caress with the dynamics of their marriage...

Pope Guilty posted:Possibly my favorite thing in that whole special is that the Monarch knows what kind of kitchen knives Phantom Limb prefers. He's a real professional of hate. It helps that Phantom Limb is loving obsessed with fine kitchen knives. He even dragged Dr. Ex-Girlfriend (at the time) to a knife store to look at them. "I shall prepare a MARINADE tonight!"
