In Assassinanny, Hank accidentally stabs himself with Molotov's poison heel and hallucinates Molotov talking to him. She has cold breath coming out of her mouth. What's that a reference to?

I thought it was just a call out to the fact that she smokes like a chimney, but I wouldn't doubt it being another obscure pop culture reference.

Even if Season 8 were already approved, it's still just Season 7 for the foreseeable future. I'm emphasizing that because we are talking about a future we can foresee. Who knows what will be happening in 2525? I mean, if man is still alive... if woman can survive... what may they find?

RIGHT. Geez, I can't believe I missed that.

This whole time, I thought Tompkins and Jared were both professors considering how Tompkins was loving with him when they were first introduced out of costume. (And Jared is drawn in that ambiguous way that made me think he was at least in his early/mid-thirties.) His being a student makes his random jobs make a little more sense but paints Tompkins as an even bigger dick.

Doc was super cagey about the details. (Meaning he gave none.) He even joked about allowing us to make up our own reason for the injury and listed out some specific examples he would accept. Dude was super lighthearted about the whole thing.
The Fudgie the Whale bit was amazing, especially since they couldn't let it go. Every time they saw the guy in the Fudgie suit through the back doors after he left, they'd point him out.

I was lucky enough to get to be one of the questions at the NYCC panel, and they were handing out character model and 'tween drawings from the Korean studio they contract out to. Here's the one I got:


The girl behind me got one that was one of the shots of Gary talking with Shiela, and there were a bunch of notes scribbled on it. I wanted that one. :v:

Phantom Limb is a wanna-be old-school villain. Even at his most bad-rear end, he was calling a Blackout Team to kill the Venture Family instead of doing it himself. He has the *ability* to do cool things (as evidenced by his escape from Guild custody), and might even have telekinetic abilities, but all he *really* wants to do is be ~important~ and have people *under* him. Remember back when he *had* Dr. Girlfriend again when The Monarch was locked up and she was all :rolleyes: that he was more interested in selling art and hobnobbing than doing villain poo poo?

His rant about the Mona Lisa actually inspired me to look up the history myself.

I just got caught up on the series through a complete rewatch after having had fallen off somewhere around season 5 (lack of money for DVDs and lack of access to cable). I'm enjoying reading through the backlog of discussion here. It looks like we typically have a couple of years between seasons; I assume it's reasonable to expect that we may be hearing more about Season 8 later this year or around this time next year?


As for the previous comments on Hank vs Dean accepting the Venture lifestyle I'm not surprised they're showing Hank as more accepting of it and wanting to do the costume thing. He's grown up idolizing Brock but remains idealized about what he (Brock) does rather than having a grim acceptance of killing others like his idol. Doing cape stuff lets him act out on those dreams without having to get his hands dirty. Plus that second Venturestein episode shows that he's pretty capable when hopped up on caffeine. I would say they'd spin it as a vigilante, but we only just wrapped up the whole Blue Morpho thing. We don't know a whole log about the capes in this world and it would be interesting to see if there's some organizational bodies for "good". The OSI appears just to be a regulatory group rather than a proverbial Avengers/Justice League.

This would be the Crusaders Action League.

I have a soft spot for season 1 but even then I think Brisby is kind of a slog to get through considering the plot is basically:

Brisby asks Doc to clone him
Doc says no
Brisby knocks him out and takes him to a different room
Brisby asks Doc to clone him
Doc says no
Brisby knocks him out and takes him to a different room
Brock comes in and kills everybody

It's a shame because I like Brisby's character design and it works really well with the limited animation of season 1
