Title: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: Chesire Cat on 20 Aug 2008, 07:45
Seriously, have any of you been following Season 3, they finally got rid of that dullard Phantom Limb and now its just full of awesome.  Its one of the few shows I watch religiously.

*edit*

Crap wrong forum

No, you suck. Venture Brothers is awesome.

I've been loving this season, even though they've been focusing a lot more on actual plot development rather than just ridiculous shit going on. Totally excited for the season finale this week, they love to go out on something crazy.

Yeah I just watched part one today, it prompted me to spread my Venture love.  Though Id have to say my very favourite episode from all time was season 2, Escape To The House Of Mummies Part II.  Ironically there is no Part I.  They just let you assume crazy awesome shit had happened in Part I and suddenly Caligula, Poe and "The Perfect Man" basically a retard version of the Golden Speedo dude from Rocky Horror are helping the Venture crew lay waste to yet another incompetent villian.

I could've sworn we had a TVB thread.

Anyway, it's been a bit tiring with the mythology building that up until the last few episodes was the sole purpose of this season. They've spent a lot of time fleshing out the back stories and personalities of the old Venture Team, Billy Quizboy, Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, etc. But the final episodes with their rather surprising twists and revelations have shed new light on some of the main characters.

I love this show. So much. I am quite glad that my roommate had the first two seasons on DVD to watch. But now I don't have cable so I can't watch season three, which makes me a little sad.

Unfortunately, I think they only show the last two aired episodes online (I missed the second episode of the season due to this) Torrenting may be the only way to go.

Kind of sucks that the season's almost over. Hopefully the next one won't idle around till 2010.

Supposedly, Adult Swim renewed TVB for seasons 3 and 4 at once, so they began production on Season 4 right after Season 3 wrapped. I read on Publick's blog that they're hoping to have Season 4 air by Fall 2009.
Title: Re: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: KvP on 25 Aug 2008, 00:33
So anybody else see the season finale? I won't post spoilers, but one of the great things about the Venture Brothers is that they like to reference throwaway lines from the past, way back into past seasons, and there were some fine examples of that tonight.

Ahem, getting non-spoily, I'm betting the ending twist is a fakeout, even with the T-shirts they're selling.
Title: Re: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: Storm Rider on 25 Aug 2008, 00:52
I saw it, and I like how they undermined that thing they built up all season. It'll probably end up a cop-out, sure, but I thought it was a great twist. I feel like less happened in this season than in Season 2, but the finale definitely gave them plenty of things to explore next season. I think that because Adult Swim renewed them for seasons 3 and 4 at the same time, Publick and Hammer wrote Season 3 mostly as setup. It fleshes out a lot of characters, and introduces quite a few new ones, but there isn't a whole lot of forward action to the plot. I'm guessing that they're preparing for a much more dramatic season 4 since they knew they had the liberty of a season in advance of it.

My only real complaint about Season 3 was that there just wasn't enough Dr. Orpheus.
Title: Re: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: Chesire Cat on 25 Aug 2008, 09:40
Theres some ups and down for the character fleshing out theyve been doing.  Notably, they havent been toying with the multitude of villains that they made up and paraded in episodes like the one where Dr Venture has the yard sale.  Sgt Hatred is a knob of a char, and the other goto villain seems to be Truckulese.  Id like to see more used.  Also, yeah I totally love Dr Orpheus, his the blackula hunting, and gay alchemist, not s much.  I just always enjoyed the fact that he always seemed to be doing menial tasks, like using his powers to rake leaves, and generally never getting any respect.  Even though it would take Brock to take him out with his powers.
Title: Re: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: Chesire Cat on 31 Aug 2008, 17:21
Wait what?  Its done for the season?  This isnt how its supposed to end.  24 was a rock, he cant be gone, and Brock?!  What the fuck he cant go anywhere.

Not to mention H.E.L.P.E.R. not that he cant get rebuilt but seriously!  I thought there was another epi to seal these gaps in how things are supposed to be.  Thankfully it was as good of a season closer as season 1 I guess.  But really, what about Orb, did nothing come of that.

I don't really watch the show very much.  It's ok, but it's not like I'll go out of my way to watch it.

However it may interest you that a couple guys I know will sporadically yell "LOCK DOWN AUXILIARY POWER!" at people while they're drinking, and won't leave until the person either a. asks what they fuck they're talking about, or b. yell back "WE DON'T HAVE AUXILIARY POWER!"

I kinda like how the show is progressing in Season 4.  You don't see a lot of animated shows not afraid to lose their audience.  That's one of the great things about a great program not being on FOX, you know what I mean.

Finally got to see the full epi. It was a gooder Im excited to see the follow up episodes, in a regular format mind you, since this episode worked to line up the new alliances. Helper Mk II, Dr Hatred, the boys and Dr Venture. Brock and the rest of S.P.H.I.N.X. and finally, the bad guys? OSI.
Title: Re: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: pilsner on 22 Oct 2009, 21:15
So is it pretty much settled now that the OSI and the Guild of Calamitous Intent are the same thing?  Based on the OSI guy who put on a Guild ring in Season 3....
Title: Re: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: Muppet King on 22 Oct 2009, 23:38
If I remember correctly, the OSI agent that put on the Guild ring was Sgt. Hatred before he officially defected.
Title: Re: Dr. My Wife is a Babe or How The Venture Brothers rock
Post by: pilsner on 22 Oct 2009, 23:45
Sonofa... OK, I totally missed that Sgt. Haine was Sgt. Hatred, good catch.

OK, still, OSI and Guild are the same thing... makes sense doesn't it?  Like when Jonas Venture, Jr. was talking to the Guild henchmen and they were joking "Sure, there's a red phone to connect you to OSI", I half expected the screen to zoom out to a red phone.

I'm not seeing this.  The whole point of the scene you mentioned was that the Guild and the OSI were not officially related, let alone the same organization.  Not to mention that if the OSI and the Guild are the same, the Monarch/OSI battle at the end of the last season makes no sense.

Really, all we know is that the current incarnation of S.P.H.I.N.X. is made up of (seemingly) ex-OSI agents.

As I'm in the UK and impatient I'm having to download this :( it took me 3 goes to get anything watchable & now I am pleasantly confused.

I love this show soooooo much. I'm trying not to have too many theories about whats going on as everytime I've done that before I've been wrong (Apart from Davie Bowie, I actually guessed that right!).

The little comic bit's from the first Marvel were great, I'm enjoying fat Brock & the idea that boys actually get to grow up now, if they don't die first...


(The flashback showing all their deaths is one of my favourite moments ever.

I think that was one of the most unsettling episodes I've ever seen.  I thought they would keep the fact that he was a pedophile on the down low or just hint at it, but they really went all out on him.  I love Robot Ghost though.

Did anybody notice in the credits for last episode that Captain Sunshine is voiced by Kevin Conroy, aka Batman from the Animated Series? I was shocked, he actually sounds completely different as Captain Sunshine. I never would have guessed had I not seen his name in the credits. I think it adds a great little subversive layer to the skewering of the homoerotic subtext of the Batman-Robin relationship in the early comics.

The first two episodes of the season are so satisfying because they are so clearly committed to the Season 3 trend of making the show both increasingly character-based and also completely fucking off the wall. I love the chances they're taking, and I think they're paying off in spades so far. Can't wait to see what the deal with SPHINX is.

Also to be fair, Doc and Jackson have basically said they would've been totally okay with Conroy just doing the Batman voice.

The Monarch's speech in the Wonderboy costume was probably the second-creepiest thing I've seen on Venture Bros.  First, of course, was the Monarch fucking G.U.A.R.D.O.

The one part I didn't like is that I thought that Hank was progressing toward something else other than being the lame ass comic relief stupid kid.

Then he cuts his cool new haircut and prances around in a sidekick uniform yelling "dodge" and shit.

Though he did call his dad a honky.  That was pretty amusing.

I liked how Captain Sunshine and his pals comprised the entire News Team, not to mention the implication of his "real" name being very similar to that of a NYC anchorman's, heh.

I can't believe no one has posted about the most recent ep yet!  Especially considering Dean used science as a verb!!   :-D  Some messed-up stuff with (do I even have to say spoiler in here?) Dean's aborted clone, excellent fun-pokings at progressive rock, hijinks with Hank and Dermot, and "Hank!  Just because he's a black man doesn't mean he has 'The Shining'!" (cut to scene where black man has the Shining).  The scene of Dr. Venture, er, proceeding to the panic room made me laugh so hard my husband looked at me funny.  Well, he does that anyway.

What did you guys think?

the newest episode was wonderful, and as soon as it was over and they showed the preview of next week's episode, I was filled with the agony of anticipation "aahhhh a whole fucking week! shit."

very rarely does a television show leave me so enthralled and entertained that I literally cannot wait for the next episode.

Post by: Chesire Cat on 04 Nov 2009, 15:32
Im kind of in the minority where I preferred the serial installments to whatever is going on now. It feels like the beginning part of a book while you are waiting for something interesting to happen to the characters to engage you.

Hopefully later in the season it starts getting better, but frankly, its already pissed away 25% of it on the worst episodes since the worst episodes of season one while they were still trying to figure shit out.

And as I dont have a TV and D/L this show, I quite simply have to wait 3 or so days from the original air date for a real torrent to even appear which isnt really the shows fault, but irritates me nonetheless.

Ok, let me more specific, watching these first three episodes I feel like I am biding my time before the invariably better episodes start airing.

Perhaps I like reading books for the enjoyment of the story, and not for the black shapes on white paper. And well, 10 pages in there isnt much story.

I'm pretty sure Dr. My Wife's boobs are way bigger than they used to be. I mean, they were always huge, but now they are...massive. Just something I noticed.

I'm really interested to see where the plot goes with 21 being crazy and talking to a skull and all. Espescially after the end of last night's episode.

I think the only sanity 21 will get back is if
1)he gets a super hot girlfriend/nemisis

2) 24 comes back to life

3)he kills all of the monarchs enemies, including the monarch himself.

Not exactly.  It was the finale for the first half of the season; for some reason they're splitting the season into to two parts....probably to annoy the fans that have to wait a year or two before new episodes after every season.

If you can use Ninjavideo (not sure if it works everywhere), just stream them.  They should have everything in Divx, and the site is fantastic as long as you use AdBlock.  The only thing you have to do is open an applet they have in order to access the videos.

Best call-back ever:

"Brock Sampson.  At last we meet."
"Do I know you?"
"Don't give me that shit!"

You know what was really silly and minor, but I totally love?  How White nonchalantly gave Billy a high-five so they could get on with their conversation with Rusty.  Poor Billy always gets antsy when he's left hanging.

Ahhh, I picked up seasons 1 and 2 for a roadtrip with my family and girlfriend over the holidays. I couldn't get season 3 before I had to leave to go back to school, and my girlfriend is very unhappy about this. In other words, loving this so much. Personally I love how they started with all these parody/cliche characters, and suddenly they're giving them complete interconnected backgrounds. The wikis I've found for the show haven't been super detailed, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone was able to put together a complete timeline of all the character's lives.

Also, I know it was a minor point 3 seasons back, but was anyone else struck by how the introduction to The Trial of the Monarch is basically what this show would look like if everyone were competent?

Hey, don't know if anyone noticed this, but there was a new episode of Venture Bros last night. I'd say they started off the new "half season" off pretty damn well, probably the only time Billy has been funny.

I'm praying we see some more development of 21 as a leader. Maybe even going solo?

Also my girlfriend was kinda displeased because she felt that they left a ton of things open-ended at the end of the last run, but to be frank it's been so long that I don't even remember.

haha I thought the same thing.  back in season 2 24 scolded 21 saying he wasnt ruthless enough to be a arch.  at this point I think he has found his ruthlessness.

I think my favorite Billy moment was from last "half" season: "I wanna go back in my bag!"

I'm really glad VB is back.  ^_^  It was a solid ep, if not their best.  Also, SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER . . .

I can't decide which was my favorite part, them finding the shrunken sub (with the skeletons of previous Venture clones inside) in Rusty's brain, or Sgt. Hatred supersizing the Doc to stop the Monarch from flying away.  It'd be awesome if they filled in the giant impact crater with water (Dr. Venture-shaped pool ftw?).

And more 21 is always good.  He sort of already went "rogue" when he teamed up with Brock when last we left them -- having him become an arch himself has potential too.  At this point, I'm wondering if he'll actually hook up with Dr. Girlfriend.

As much as I like the tension between Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and #21, I kinda feel like they spent so long hammering into our heads how dedicated the Monarch and she are to each other and how they'll do anything to be together. At this point, I can't really see her character leaving all that behind.

And yeah, #21 has acted "on his own" in the past. Still, with his newfound leadership skills I wonder if he'll get fed up with the Monarch's incompetence and start arching on his own? Maybe setting up a confrontation with S.P.H.I.N.X. and Brock if he works outside the Guild structure?

And what of his special friend the Giant Question Mark?

Alternate dimension Rusty is a possibility, as is time travel Rusty, or possibly older Dean (!), or clone Rusty (made by his dad? or by future Dean?), or maybe just Professor Impossible contorting himself to look like Rusty -- many possibilities, all ridiculous.  I look forward to finding out when they show how Dean's summer went.

I loved the noir stuff with Hank, and the Bewitched discussion between Orpheus and the Alchemist was gold.  Wonder if Dermot's real mom will get pregnant with Hank's kid . . .

Fuckin' called it.   8-)  Well, sorta.  This won't go well for anyone involved, I'm sure.  Loved the Moppets backing out with expressions of horror at the 3-way tableau they staged.

I like that they left it vague as to what Orpheus did for Rusty's Id -- so many horrific possibilities.  and with that whole "The Rusty" thing, I loved that first they did a scene with Orpheus et al that was a call-back to the Star Trek episode with Clint Howard as the creepy "Roman" kid, and THEN they had Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and 21 discuss that very episode in the next scene!  'Behold as we reference our reference, ha ha!'

It was also nice that Dr. Venture actually put things to rights after he woke up.  He's a terrible father and a mostly miserable human being, but it turns out he does have at least a couple of Dad skills.

I haven't heard if there's any word on more seasons. I don't want this to be the end, but... on the other hand, I'm kinda worried that it'll go downhill from here. The second half of this season was just a long string of C+ episodes in my mind, and that worries me.
