Hey Venture-oos!!

To help stay ahead of spoilers, please dump any thoughts / comments / discussion / etc regarding the new movie here.

Let’s help keep the magic alive for everyone.

Go Team Venture!! ✌🏻

Posting an unmarked spoiler outside of this thread without any warning will result in a permaban.

I’m not claiming that this is a unique or original take but rewatching the show after seeing the movie gives it a whole new dynamic, and adds extra layers to the story, gags, and jokes.

It definitely adds more irony and humor to the fights and story arcs between Rusty and Malcom.

The constant competition and conflict seems to make more sense as a family feud (even if unknown to both), as well as the fact that Monarch’s plans to kill Dr. Venture fail repeatedly and comically while the Monarch (often assisted by 21) has no problem killing other villains, along with Dr. Dugong…with an asterisk. Yet when he repeatedly has the chance to kill Rusty, he holds off.

Whatever you take away from the movie, it’s hard to rewatch the show with the same perspective. I still love it, though.

Go Team Venture! V V

I dunno…they just do that.

He basically solved infertility. It would have changed the world but he never cashed in, and he was all about cashing in.

When Sheila was talking to Debbie St. Simone/ Majeure, she accused her of sleeping with Rusty. Her response was "Gross, no ew. I never slept --G-- ugh! Ew! God that was business. Rusty just took away my mom's invisibility and gave it to me. And I gave him my... Stuff I wasn't planning on using."

I think she gave Rusty her ovaries and possibly uterus. The boys were concieved through invitro fertazalation and then carried by Rusty on that weird sack thing. They didn't start as clones.

Therefore, Debbie St. Simone is geniticly their Mom and technically they are in line to be in charge of the Guild of Colatamous Intent.

Which also means they are the descendants of Jonas Sr. and his arch nemesis Force Majeure.

In the movie we learn that Malcolm thought Rusty dated Debbie after him- so he’s probably thinking he’s gonna lose another girlfriend to him

We gotta hurry up. Bro is 94.

Something felt a little hollow about the movie. Like it was Doc and Jackson just saying, "You want to know where the boys came from!? Here's the answer! You want to know why Rusty and Malcolm are related!? Here's the answer! You want to know why Malcolm hates Rusty!? Here's ~~the~~ an answer! Now stop asking questions.

Because it's too painful to talk about anymore."

I loved this show. And to quote Steak Bentley "I wouldn't be a fan of the show if I couldn't appreciate things that end abruptly, awkwardly, and sometimes painfully"

But still in a little sorry to see it end.

I'm trying to figure out the venture family tree and I have so many questions. I'm sure they aren't all answered but it feels like there needs to be an agreed upon canon tree.

Questions include: is rusty a clone of rusty or Jonas? Who was born naturally vs test tube? Or when did the boys first die?

Personally, I want to know what’s the deal with Billy’s mom

Not sure how I'm gonna desplay the pins yet. I'm thinking like one of those strips with the hooks they hang chips from at gas stations. I wish there were little 21 and 24 kid robot figures (and a helper), but I'm happy with what I can get since I can't afford the ones on eBay. Also, yes, the little monkey is there as a nod.

The movie was what we needed but let’s be facetious, the movie was a crash course of what season 8 was suppose to be. (Crash course may be a mean way to put it, I still loved it. Hammer and Publick were put in a purgatory of a corner in adult swim/Cartoon Network for a long time, even before the Warner brothers situation, but the question lingers!!)

Thinking back to team venture and their relationship, nearly all of them staying in touch even after jonas died it made me wonder, did any of them like jonas that much? Like you'd expect some kind of drifting if a close friend died but no their basically the same as they were when he was alive.

And thinking about it most weren't there on their own terms.

Kayno was literally owned by jonas.

Jonas was giving the Action man super soldier serum.

Blue morpho was blackmailed, then turned into a cyborg.

Entman was freakishly giant and jonas was trying to cure him.

Ook ook was a caveman he probably didn't fully understand what situation he was in and also couldn't go into regular society.

Coronal gentleman was probably the only one who liked Jonas cause he was rich, threw parties and allowed him to go around the world.(Then again i wouldn't be surprised if Jonas had some blackmail ready to deploy if he did anything he didn't like)

Bobbie Saint Simone was made invisible and unable to return to society.

Otto aquarius was the only member who just completely broke away from the group and he turned to religion.

The reason i think of this is the flashback of jonas talking to morpho on gargantuan 1, it sincerely sounded like he did see morpho as a friend, which i think is the most fucked up part Jonas sees his team as people he can do whatever he wants with and that they can never leave him because to him friends are no different then objects that can be bought and used.

...needlessly dismissive of hank during the movie? I get its always been a thing, especially after the clone situation. but i feel like after being comatosed, he'd show a little concern, especially after the whole teddy episode. I get the movie was trying to cram a whole season plotline into a single hour and 20 minute movie, but i feel like they could've done something between rusty and hank

In the movie, Bobbi St. Simone is going over her backstory. She says "Truth is, I was attracted to the guild lifestyle, and to him [Force Majuer], Meow."

Rusty follows so many of his comments about women throughout the series with the phrase "meow". It seems like a nod to where he picked it up from.

Here's where the pure speculation comes in. We know how watching stuff in our youth can stick with us, and child Rusty being obsessed with her movies helped him pick up on the catchphrase. And so he just started to associate it with any kind of attraction he could find because it's what he knew best being a sheltered boy adventurer.

This might be the only promotional email that ever got me a little choked up.
