I liked when Gary came to the realization that Rusty and the Monarch are basically the same level of sociopath. If anything, the Monarch is more laudable because he's got a woman who loves him who doesn't have to be paid to do so, and he actually has a *reason* to be a dick since he's a card-carrying supervillain.

Lupus Rufus posted:IN reply to whether Dean will remember being a clone, I don't see why he wouldn't. It would cheapen the Halloween episode significantly if he forgot it, and I don't think Doc and Jackson would do that. It seems like it would just wipe their memory of everything that just happened and they might all think it was just a dream or hallucination that they became a mutant super race for the past few months. To say nothing of the fact that all they need to do is bring back J.K. Simmons' character (which supposedly will happen) and have him ask "feeling better about being a clone?"

I'm mainly worried because he doesn't remember who Thalia is and he's met her before Halloween, and presumably interacted with her a lot more than with Ben. You're/we're overthinking this way too much, but it's conceivable that once he finds out he has a new room that it might be a shock to his system to allow him to remember SOME of what happened. Knowing the way VB is written, he'll remember Thalia but she won't remember him, and he'll just become a stalker or something (potential supervillain root, maybe). I'm also wondering what happened to the streaked-hair chick from Victor-Echo-November. I remember her being mentioned last season but for the life of me I can't remember in what context.

My guess for this season's jaw-dropper/cliffhanger? Jonas Senior is still alive (having been in stasis or something) or gets resurrected. Hopefully J.J. then gets to find out how much of an rear end in a top hat his father really was. Kano never *confessed* to killing Jonas Sr., he just lapsed back into his trademark silent treatment, which could be as simple as having been sworn to secrecy by Jonas. My guess, he wanted to be put on ice until such a time that technology would have advanced to the point where he could repair Orb - and Rusty, J.J., OSI, the Guild, *and* Phantom Limb's little offshoot have to band together to stop him.

LashLightning posted:Great episode, even if only for the revelation that L. Ron Hubbard is a ghost inhabiting a robot body (Perhaps maybe a connection to that Ghost Robot superhero?) and also a super-villain. LRH wasn't a 'ghost' so much as his 'spirit' left his robot body (the same way Scientologists said it did when he died in '86). The thing that didn't make sense about it is that if that was in the 60s and 70s, he was still alive then. Umph posted:Really not feeling St Cloud. Give it time. Monarch was pretty lame his first few outings as well, but came into his own. I think part of the reason St. Cloud's a bad supervillain is that he hasn't given Billy and White adequate reason to consider him anything other than a nuisance. I think that might change after this episode simply because St. Cloud actually *did* try to kill White. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Jun 26, 2013 |

You know, they really should explain how St. Cloud went from a non-affected "ooh, girly mags" in Tag Sale and the Quizboys flashback to his current voice by saying that he suffered from an acute bout of "excess smugness" in his teenage years. That or he tried to have his voice altered to sound like Hank's so he could crack the Venture Compound's voice recognition systems and steal some one-of-a-kind items, and something went horribly wrrrrrronnngggg because his surgeon wasn't a frrrriennnd.

This episode loving ruled. Of course Gathers telling Brock that Molotov was assigned to just kill the *traitors* in OSI made me think - she actually DID try to kill Shore Leave, but went dry on both Uzis. This suggests that Shore Leave's dirty.

Mr. Fowl posted:Or that Gathers is crazy. Or that it's a double bluff and that Molotov knew that Shore Leave took the clips out. Keep in mind, he was the only one who survived that volley. Not even poor Bum Rush made it out of that bloodbath. Shore Leave? Not a scratch! That was drat near surgical. Not to lapse into another "Hubbard + Apollo" thing but you have a point about how carefully she shoved him into the closet - she'd know the weight of a loaded Uzi and a spent one instinctively. That being said, Brock's scream when she started loving Monstroso was priceless, as was seeing the Brock/Mol first encounter.

Given how infrequently Rusty gets laid or is able to *pay* to get laid I'm sure he was nuzzling by instinctive necessity, to say nothing of the fact that while we know a healthy amount about Jonas Venture Sr. we've never learned a single fact about Rusty's mother, so he probably has some pretty unhealthy 'mommy' issues.

Also has a direct line. I still think somehow Jonas Sr. is still "alive" and in stasis or something. Hell, make the plotline that he stole Walt Disney's (or Brisby's) cryo-stasis unit or something because he picked up the world's first antibiotic-resistant strain of the Clap from an unnamed villain's Femme Fatale, and have him thawed now that we've got better stuff. It'd be formative for both Rusty and J.J. since Rusty'll finally get to stand up to him and J.J. will learn he needs to stop idolizing and carrying on the legacy of a horrible man.

I also noticed on second watch the vaguely-disguised trope from Prometheus in regards to Dr. Entmann (the tiny guy) getting crushed by the rocking chair because he ran lengthwise to the descending leg, when he could've run sideways or diagonally and lived. In regards to Zin, though - for as many characters as they brought in/back I'm surprised Action Johnny didn't get into one episode, maybe even as an inmate/patient at the loony bin.

revolther posted:Eh, I think Rusty being evil or villainous is kinda subjective. It kinda seems like Rusty is honestly emulating his father without the rose-tinted glasses. It's just not socially acceptable in the modern age to break a few eggs for your science omelette. Rusty is his father's son - at least character-wise. If anything, he hates his twin because 1) he reminds him of his father, and 2) everyone likes Jonas Jr. more even though it's been shown he has a good amount of his father's contempt for and penchant to use and abuse 'the little people.' But he also has *just* the right amount of 'desire to help his fellow man' that it makes Rusty hate him all the more because he's completely incapable (both morally and physically) of considering doing something that doesn't have a profit margin attached to it. If anything, I've always thought Brock was there to *keep* Rusty from becoming his father. Sort of like a really hosed up six-and-a-half-foot-tall moral compass with a really sharp point. Also, don't forget Rusty's Superego - it was basically a red-headed Jonas Sr. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Apr 21, 2014 |
