"Go Team Venture!" The Venture Brothers Thread

[Reply #200 on:]

Well, ignorance is bliss. So I guess I'll stay in the dark on this one.

But thanks anyway.

They showed the whole episode [AS.com]? I'm glad to hear it was good, or "tight" as you called it. Hopefully not too many people will bitch about it.

[Reply #201 on:]

Yep, they showed the whole episode.  New episodes that air on the weekend are usually shown first on Adult Swim fix on Friday night.  It's an easy way to get more people to use the service.  I've watched a handfull of episodes on AS fix and I like it so far.  It's not as good as watching eps on a regular TV, but it's great when you don't want to wait to see a new episode.

Great episode last night.

I loved it all, except maybe the music for the closing credits. I prefer the classic Venture Bros. theme.

I'll let someone else do the review, since I'm not good at that.

I didn't like the idea about cloning Hank and Dean. I mean now, I don't look at them the same. And no matter what adventure the Venture Brothers go on, I don't really care what happens because they can just clone them again.

I still love the Monarch, he is the funniest character.  I liked his makeshift costume in prison and how he tried to put together a team with the other convicts. I can't wait until he sees Dr. Girlfriend again.

Maybe, but you have to admit that the "The Many Deaths of the Venture Brothers" scene was one of the funniest things ever.

Forget the Monarch. We need more of King Gorilla.

[Reply #205 on:]

Seconded.

[Reply #206 on:]

Thirded, King Gorilla is an awesome character.

Jackson Publik said this on his blog about fan concerns such as LayZ341's about the boys dying:

"Points taken, but I submit that the deaths of two walking, talking, pie-eyed sixteen year old boys--regardless of their genesis--is a horrifying thing to behold, and something to be avoided at all costs. Hence Brock will always defend them unto death--because they ARE alive, they ARE his responsibility, and Brock IS dedicated to his mission (and has warmed up to them over the years). A conundrum? Sure, somewhat. But no more illogical than the way everyone else in the Venture world dutifully go about their appointed roles (supervillains hassle scientists, scientists invent stuff, henchmen obey supervillains, etc.), which is to say that it's completely illogical but thems the rules of the game. Brock is most certainly wounded by the boys' deaths each and every time they die. He probably beats himself up for a while. But, being a realist, he moves on and tries again (if you're trying to quit smoking and you cave in to cravings and have one, is it better to give up and start smoking again, or to curse yourself and renew your commitment?) His and Doc's shared, somewhat lighthearted reminiscences about the boys' previous deaths is probably a sort of "gallows humor" coping device. The man is, after all, a professional assassin."

That sounds like a good explanation to me.  It didn't bother me at all anyways.  As Captain Long Time No See Kryten pointed out, the death montage was pretty damn funny.

I saw the new episode on AS fix last night.  It was pretty good.  I was pretty tired when I watched it so I'm going to have to watch Sunday again to make sure I catch everything.

Hate Floats airs tonight.

*SPOILERS* - which everyone should see, so I'm not putting this behind a spoiler tag...

The opening of ep. 202 - DUHHHHH DUH DUHHHHHHH!

 http://youtube.com/watch?v=ddbWl4r71tQ

This - THIS is why Venture Bros. rocks so fucking hard.

[Reply #209 on:]

Yeah, great episode.

Show spoiler

I loved the combinations. Hank and Dean with Dr. Girlfriend. Brock with Phantom Limb. And Dr. Venture with The Monarch and Henchman #21 and #24.

I'm glad they finally asked to be #1 and #2. Hopefully it'll happen. Especially since the former #1 was about to bust a cap in Monarch's ass.

[Reply #210 on:]

Did anyone catch the Scobey Gang in the last episode?  Shaggy was so wigged out, it was hilarious.

[Reply #211 on:]

I loved how they had the dog talk only to him in a demonic voice, I also liked Venturestein

[Reply #212 on:]

[Orpheius]THREAD ARISE![/Orpheius]

That Scooby Doo Parody was the best thing ever.

Also, is that ex-American Gladiator Hank and Deans biological mother or not?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was.  Dr. Venture did say he f*cked her.

I'm so glad that Dr. Fiance and The Monarch are back together.  Phantom Limb is crushed and plotting revenge. Oh yeah, I loved how he was hunting The Monarch's former cellmates.

[Reply #214 on:]

I must say, I love this show. A lot. So many likeable minor characters. I mean, a few minor favourites of mine are #21 and #24, King Gorilla, Henry Killinger and the Ghost Ship Captain.

And I'm glad Dr Girlfriend and The Monarch are back together again.

God bless YouTube.

[Reply #215 on:]

"Did I miss anything?"
"Dude, that guy from Labrinth just turned into a bird!"

Hank was great in the finale.

"Brock, why must you be the screen door to my submarine?"

[Reply #216 on:]

"Why doesn't anyone tell me anything"

[Reply #217 on:]

Wow, another great episode this week.

Show spoiler

I have two questions about the ending. 1.  What happend to Phantom Limb?  Is he dead or did he just leave his limbs.  2.  Is Dr. Girlfriend really a man?  Is that what she/he told The Monarch at the end?  I hope not, a girl with a deep voice is funny, but if she really is a transsexual, thats just sick.

[Reply #218 on:]

Those last two episodes were the greatest season finales ever.

Show spoiler

Especially the David Bowie and Iggy Pop cameos. I also think Mrs Girlfriend is carrying a child of Dr V.

Don't you love this show. Oh, and the last bit before the credits with the alchemist is really gross.

As for Limb, maybe.

[Reply #219 on:]

Thank you for bumping this, Nurdbot, so I didn't have to bother scrolling down half a page.

Anyway, over the last couple days I've watched every episode of this series (except for "Fallen Arches" which for some reason the girl I've been mooching recordings off of didn't tape), and I have to say, I've found a new obsession.  The humor's a little crude sometimes, but the characters are great, especially the villains.  I mean, who can say no to a series whose minor villains include Girl Hitler and a white supremacist anthropomorpic representation of TV static?

Anyway, too much new-fanboyness to properly address in a tasteful post, but I have to say my favorite characters are The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, Dr. Orpheus, and of course, Bowie.

Oh, and #21 and #24, of course.

[Reply #220 on:]

How can anyone not like #21 and #24?

Fallen Arches is an excellent episode Nerdo, especially for Monarch fans.

Watch out for the tattoo, that is all I have to say.

[Reply #221 on:]

Yeah, the final two episodes were tremendous.  The last one was especially full of action which I quite liked.  Phantom Limb offed some of The Monarch's prison buddies, but King Gorilla was thankfully spared.  I'm hoping he'll turn up again next season.  On a final note, AS better not take so damn long to renew the show this time around.

[Reply #222 on:]

EDIT:  Wow, that was weird.  Ignore this, some strange PEEL hijinks caused me to double post by mistake.

[Reply #223 on:]

Thank god King Gorilla didn't bite it indeed.

Shame about White Noise though.

[Reply #224 on:]

ZOMG it is my new favourite show!

It just recently came to Canada and it is brilliant! Three episodes was enough to convince me to buy the DVD set...

I haven't seen any of the second season yet, so I'm hoping they'll air it soon. Here in Canada it's on mondays at 10:30pm. They're nearing the end of the first season, but the chances are low that they'll air the second season immediately after... I hope there won't be a 3-year delay... <_<

My favourite episodes are "Are you there god? It's me, Dean" and "Pirates of the Sargasso", both of which were in the original three that I watched.

[Reply #225 on:]

Series 2 is much better, things are more fleshed out and character development is excellent.

Did anyone notice the lack of JJ or Venturestein in the last episodes?

[Reply #226 on:]

No, and i didn't miss Venturestein. Maybe Brock got rid of his guilt and killed him for a third time.

Oh yeah, Fallen Arches Was F*cken awesome!!

I love this season. I didn't know if they were going to be able to top the first, but they did.

@Nerd-O-Rama: Go to http://venture.mancubus.net/

That's an excellent site. They have great episode capsules.

[Reply #227 on:]

What are you? gay? Venturestein ruled. And Brock isn't that heartless. Killing a guy twice might be a new limit on him.

[Reply #228 on:]

I don't know what's up with Brock lately. What the f is up with that dolphin fantasy?

[Reply #229 on:]

Yeah. That fantasy was creepy, reminded me the NGE movie too.

Guess Brock is having a mid life crisis.

[Reply #230 on:]

"Fallen Arches" (and most of the rest of season 2) on the Fix!  Extra-awesome.

"...or, the polar bear from Lost."

[Reply #231 on:]

"Louder! Deeper! LOUDER! DEEPER!"

Damn, The Monarch is the best thing since like Dr Evil.

[Reply #232 on:]

He's like some kind of glam Cobra Commander.  It's awesome!

[Reply #233 on:]

"Toy with me! Treat me as if I am candy!"

I really do hope he says 'fricken laser beam' in series 3.

I really want series 1 for Christmas, but Adult Swim won't release in the UK for ages!

[Reply #234 on:]

Just got season one about a week ago and have already watched every kick ass episode, can't wait for season 3 to air and season to to come on DVD, and I think Adult Swim will be airing a marathon christmas night

[Reply #235 on:]

I have to wait another year to get that 

[Reply #236 on:]

APRIL 17

I reckon they've started writing season 3...

Jackson Publick's journal is quite good for keeping track of the dillio... I've been counting down the days 'til april for weeks...

Also... It started airing in Canada finally. Since new years... I've watched up to Assassinanny 911. So far season two has been... pretty bitchin'...

[Reply #237 on:]

Wow. Awesome poster. I must have!

[Reply #238 on:]

Great art on the Season2 dvd.
But it doesn't hold a candle to Sienkevitch's art on Season 1's.

[Reply #239 on:]

April 17, what'll I do til then?
