I'm loving it so far, but it seems like we might end up with an episode that's all setup.

soupcan58 posted:Holy gently caress. All of Hatred's problems seem to lie with the OSI! From that fever dream it kinda seems like we might get an arc with him where we find out he was never a pedophile to begin with, but that the OSI hosed with his brain for some reason and the pedophilia was a side effect. I hope not, that'd be a copout.

Bloodnose posted:So JP and Doc Hammer just write the show as they go along, right? It really seems like there's no overarching story that they've outlined since the beginning. It looks a lot like they're winging it, considering the threads they've left out in past seasons and never tied up. So it feels kind of pointless to speculate and sperg about stuff when, unless it was already written for this season, the showrunners probably have no more idea what they were doing with that thread than we do. That's... kind of the point. They use the fandom as a way to make meta-commentary within the show and let the show evolve on its own terms. I would hate it if they tried to plan too far ahead. Then we wouldn't get so many sad fans being disappointed that Kim became Christian and lives in Florida or whatnot. Otherwise this show would turn into Adventure Time where fan fiction becomes cannon and it disappears up its own rear end. If Venture Bros. wants to give a character a tragic backstory, you'd better believe they're not going to take themselves so seriously that it ruins the show, they're going to gently caress with people's expectations.

What a weird finale. I like how it was a smaller episode, but outside of the post-credits sequence it felt a bit like filler.

bobkatt013 posted:He really does not care for him. I wish we'd seen that on screen, though. What we saw was him running around trying new things and being mediocre at them, there was no character journey there. And yeah, it really felt like we were prepped to have something with that photo of his dad that Monarch found, or the Revenge Society popping up last episode, or Molotov/Brock OSI something-or-other. To me it feels very intentional, but ultimately dissatisfying. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Jul 22, 2013 |

It's obvious there's a split amongst people here when it comes to our feelings on this season. I have a theory that it chines down to whether you tend to lean more towards Doc Hammer episodes or Jackson Publick episodes. If y'all would indulge me, I'd like to get a sense for if those really correlate in an informal poll. Me? Writer: Hammer [b]Opinion:[b/] Mediocre season

Pope Guilty posted:My understanding is that they're close enough to a borg mind when it comes to writing that the writing credit on a given episode is almost completely meaningless. They have very distinct writing styles and their episodes tend to have very different tones. McCollough tends to be more plot, structure, and character focused and Hammer tends to be more theme focused, heady, and irreverent. They definitely collaborate but they absolutely write their episodes separately. I'm sure story planning sessions are very mind-meldy, but from everything I've heard in interviews and from the clear differences in episode types, I'm surprised so many of you don't seem to notice.

Trabisnikof posted:What are the most prototypical Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick episodes? I don't know about most prototypical, but to me Hammer's style is kind of encapsulated by Escape to the House of Mummies Part II, and Publick's is more along the lines of The Invisible Hand of Fate or Perchance to Dean. I think the most well-rounded episodes are the ones where they share co-writing credit, like Powerless in the Face of Death or Showdown at Cremation Creek.

Dracula Factory posted:I think people don't like Spanikopita because it isn't heavy on the popular characters and takes place outside any of the normal settings. I really liked the backstory portions of it and I think there were a lot of good jokes in there. Spanikopita is the new Dr. Quymn. I also happen to very much like both episodes

Other than Comic Con panels or the AV Club interview or their commentaries, are there any other interviews/panels/podcasts/etc that we could see or hear Hammer or Publick on? I think I could listen to them be Cool Nerds forever.

Hedrigall posted:Okay I was sold on this show the instant they kill the fake nun with a handful of change to the face. Oh snap, looking at the related links on there, the whole series is available. I think the absolute most Venture Bros.-like episode is Lizard Soldiers of the Third Reich, in which our original Team Venture-esque heroes fly their jet to Antarctica, only to find it a tropical jungle inhabited by Nazi dinosaurs and a sinister super-scientist. I don't want to spoil anything, but let's just say some highly evolved primates with a penchant for jazz play a large part in the plot.

Maduo posted:I don't care what Doc Hammer says, I would play a Venture Bros game in the style of Riven. Yeah, I'm the sort of guy who loves their dumb mego dolls. I'm sure I'd love whatever dumb game they come up with. Though my vote goes to an awful one-screen Atari 2600 game, or a mostly text adventure game like Mystery House. e: Programmed and released for an actual 2600 or Apple II, of course.

How much direct experience do you have with rednecks? It is easy not to like that show if you can't stand rednecks, despite how good the writing may or may not be. I, for one, can't stand watching them even if it's satire, so sadly I'm missing out on Trailer Park Boys as well.

Frame them on your wall. Or give them to me to frame on my wall.Mr. Nice! posted:Hank & crew are good ol' boys not rednecks. I use redneck as shorthand for white trash, I don't even know what a good ol' boy is but the difference to me is negligible - either way I knew too many people like that growing up and don't enjoy watching them in my televised entertainment. I don't care if it's making fun of them, I find the characters unpleasant to watch.

Phylodox posted:The difference between Seinfeld and Arrested Development is that I never actually ended up hating the Bluths. But I loved that I ended up hating the Seinfeld-ians, as humans. That doesn't mean that I found them unpleasant to watch, though. I reveled in their badness, and loved how low they had become by the finale. I get no such pleasure out of Hank Hill vehemently defending fossil fuels, or destroying his son's self confidence. Either way, this has nothing to do with how amazing Venture Bros is.

Um, guys. Live action The Tick is coming back with Patrick Warburton and Ben Edlund. AKA the closest we'll ever get to a live action Venture Bros. I'm so happy we live in this world where the live action Tick gets a second chance, but hopefully this time without the lovely writing in the post-pilot episode. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Aug 30, 2014 |

Heh, as pointed out in the CBB thread, Netflix has detailed content warnings for shows. "Brock is a bodyguard with no boundaries and a deviant sexual appetite; Dr. Venture is a manic depressive with a nasty disposition" and "Brock always has a cigarette clenched in his teeth; Dr. Venture is addicted to prescription painkillers and drinks a lot" sound like they could be a DVR description of like half the episodes.
