The Venture Bros Season 7 |OT| - Sundays @ 12 on Adult Swim - Solving PRO-BLEMs... poorly
- Thread starter metsallica
- Start date
I never thought I'd see the day Jonas' cause of death was revealed. It felt like one of those things that would be teased foever
Whenever the show ends, they so do an 80s prequel series. I want to see more of the Guild from back then and Jonas Venture in his prime.
IF he's dead.
IF he's dead.
Man, these three episodes were just an out of this world retcon. Love it.
It's a homage to a Doc Savage cover.
Man this episode...
...so much to process but man this is such a fucking treat if you stuck around for the whole Venture ride. Maybe we'll have more answers to come but I'm kind of glad we're getting something new next week.

I really want one episode with an escapade with that Suicide Squad of Red Death, Stab Girl, Laugh Riot, H8-Bit, Vendata, and Mr. Fahrenheit.
The "who opened the bay doors" and "Monarch's real father" things seem like fake-outs to me, like how in ORB they heavily imply Sandow and Kano kill their Dr Ventures, only to explicitly reveal that they didn't
Apparently a real place too
They still didnt reveal it, technically. Jonas assumes blue morpho killed him, but blue morpho never confirmed.
Do we? This show is full of fake outs. Why was jonas venture found frozen inside gargantua 1 when, if they opened the air locks, he should have been floating in space like everyone else?
EDIT: Also remember -- Bud Manstrong was the paper boy on the ship, and he obviously survived. I'm guessing he is somehow related to the death of Jonas. I'm thinking somehow the orgy tape got shown to the entire crew, and the "massacre" was some how part of a cover up, perhaps relating to Manstrong being so insanely prudish.

Man, watching again, it's pretty awesome how the Monarch is finally re-revealed after basically being absent for an entire season. I love the way the show over does his schtick, the shrill sound of his "evil" voice, the bombastic and overwrought music that plays when he shows up. But in this particular episode, it actually works without sarcasm. His re-reveal is legitimately epic, and he shows up at one of the best moments when the heaviest lore bombs start dropping.
The re-emergence of the Monarch has to be my favorite part of the episode.

watched it.
so after this episode, got me thinking.
M.O.T.H.E.R.
on JONAS
manstrong in his panicked state started pressing random buttons to try to stop/eject the cassett, and ending up spacing everyone.
manstrong lived because he was in the central command room.

is mother the monarchs mom? did dr venture salavge two brains from that airplane accident, turn one into his advanced missile defense system, and the father into venturian.
and after venturain's failure, did he mind wipe the mother to make her more reliable??

I dont think he is a "villain" as in a member of the build, but he def is a villain.
I think Jonas managed to switch the brains, if so, OSI will clone blue morpho, and Jonas will create himself in secret through venturians body.

100% manstrong saw the cassett laying their and put it in, thinking it was the movie, everyone saw the orgy.

Thus ensuring his skittishness towards sex for the rest of his life.

Updated the OP with next week's synopsis, too, if anyone wants a mild spoiler.

I love the idea of Manstrong accidentally being the cause of the massacre, dude was a paranoid weirdo so it would kind of make sense if he was living with that knowledge in secret.
Also didn't see it posted yet, this week's t-shirt:
lol nm it's at the end of last page. anyways, it's creepy! Would have liked something with vendata/BM on it tbh.
It has been a theory long since they revealed Jonas and his wife were swingers, before this episode people just assumed he had fathered the monarch in at a Swinger party.
Those first 3 episodes are some of the best the show's ever done. I felt like my head was exploding with all the lore and callbacks and years old plotlines being resolved. Imagine having to write all these plotlines down and make sense of them in three 22 minutes episodes. No wonder this season took so long to get here! Amazing stuff.
Remember in season 1 when this show was nothing more than a Johnny Quest parody? Seems like a lifetime ago now. Pretty incredible to see where it started out and where it is now.
He gets brought back to earth by the aliens that visited to kill the IGNORE ME guy.
Hey, that ties into Twenty Years to Midnight and Operation P.R.O.M.
He's Lex Luthor in one of his "has convinced everyone he's good" phases.
Superior Spider-Man works as well.

This show really is great I just wish we got seasons more often yeesh!
And whoever it was that said we need a 80's spin off show is 100% on the money that would be a blast!

oh man, such a good episode coming off last week's
Should've figured Monarch was gonna run out of money, at least he didn't buy more Buttergliders.
Dr. Mrs. The Monarch made such a good moment motivating The Monarch to keep going.
H.E.L.P.E.R. working front desk security oh my god, I need more of that.
THINK TANK IS STILL ALIVE, in a coma, BUT STILL ALIVE (with Stars and Garters playing him music). But man, Hank and Dean are having terrible luck, is Dean gonna try to avoid Sirena now?
Also, Gary Cole was awesome, I hope he shows up more as Dean's science mentor, because godknows Rusty isn't capable.
...What happened to those Germans after Brock and Hatred went all in fullforce, that couldn't have ended well

I dunno what's up with AS posting all these episodes days before their air, but fuck I love it. About to watch the latest episode.
I think it's more
Monarch rising through the ranks and Rusty trying to stay a float as he is crashing his new fortune (having none of the ingenuity that JJ had). I'd think it would be hilarious if after all this, Monarch finally reaches his level 10 status only for Rusty to be busted back to a low level and can't arch him due to Guild bureaucracy.

We live in a streaming-first world! Wasn't the case last season...
That was a pretty cute episode. Saw the Hank-Dean-Sirina love triangle coming from a mile away last few episodes, though, haha.
Another great episode.
I would normally be dreading the evidently-incoming love triangle, but I think a Hank vs Dean sibling feud could actually be interesting. Professor Von Helping is Red Death-levels fantastic, and I loved his transformation scene. I'm curious what their plans are for Think Tank.
It was weird they left the AirBnB couple dangling. I thought for sure that would be the after-credits stinger.
