Is there any other animated show that is anywhere near as good as this??
>>
After almost 10 years I've learned to appreciate the new york seasons.
But the venture compound seasons will always be the best.

no idea why they cancelled this. Wasn't this considered one of the major adult swim franchises?? What else do they have now - rick and morty and acquired programming??? lol

Because nobody watched it when it was airing.

>>221189317
because it was written by only 2 people, so a new season would come out like every 5 years

Actually this is out best bet to get another season or movie. Pop out every quotable scene in the form of tiktoks or shorts and get a bunch of gen alpha to get “nostalgic” about a show they dont know. Hundreds of thousands of views would generate interest and execs will think they will make a lot of money if they bring it back.

Also found out that go team venture book is now worth like 500 dollars, lol

Lol, most people would complain the show sidelines Brock too much. Believe me, you're going to get much, much, more than just Brock, maybe too much. This show is fucking stuffed with characters.
>>
>>221195728
Season 1 is when the show's still getting a feel for itself, so most episodes follow the "villain of the week shows up, Brock eventually goes apeshit on them" formula. They're not all like that but they're pretty common in S1 up until the later episodes and early S2, when it starts to become less formulaic.

Its a very niche show that cultivated an intended audience and was liked by the producer at Adult Swim who allowed the staff to take as much time as they needed between seasons. Ideally this is how all shows should operate, good ones at least. But it wasn't doing Family Guy or Rick and Morty numbers so it got cancelled. It might be for the best because it practically ended before the current culture war brainrot and AI bullshit we've had to endure.
>>
Venture Bros. is kind of a perfect series. I followed it since it debuted when I was 14 until it ended (if you count Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart) when I was 34. Kind of fucking nuts.
>>
>>221189317
unironically capitalism kek the show is actually handdrawn by real artists with distinct styles (requires specialized skills) compare that to fuckin RIck and Morty where every character is essentially a rigged puppet with each body part being a modular part of one big animation rig, it's not NEARLY as expressive but it sure as shit is cost effective

Nta but I've never thought of VB as edgy. They'll occasionally make edgy *jokes* but it isn't the tone of the show. You could say it's bleak, but that's a different thing. It's too character focused to be mean for no reason.
>>
>>221189739

only just started watching it this year. Remember seeing ads for it when it was airing and thinking "weird-looking scooby-doo parody thing", ultimately ignoring it. Which is hilariously ironic because it's a self-aware big fucking parody of old cartoons and I adore it top to bottom.

Venture Bros ending is the sign that the Gen X era is completely over. The shows it parodied and especially the music it references is completely alien to modern youth.

The point was they are regular people and this superhero supervillain lifestyle is just a job for them. Rusty's a shitty person because he had a shitty childhood.

That other anon is right, your wife has shit taste.
To answer your question, you’ll probably want to catch the Dr. Orpheus intro episode, but otherwise if you just want to watch the setting unfurl start at Ghosts of the Sargasso. Every episode starting from there establishes either a major character, a meta plot point, or both.
One caveat is that I’m pretty sure the funeral episode (Past Tense) ends up getting retconned in later seasons as they elaborate more on the old Team Venture and Rusty’s backstory. But it’s one of my favorite episodes in the whole series so I can’t tell people in good faith to skip it.
Once you’re in season 2 the show really hits its stride. If she can’t get into it after Hate Floats, just give up. You’ll both know that the show isn’t for her at that point.

That's because the creators never let go of it. Every single episode is written by Jackson Publick and/or Doc Hammer. Rick and Morty was by design meant to be monetized and Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland rarely wrote episodes.

Doc and Jackson set out to make the best, funniest show they could. They spent years writing, editing, and rewriting each season. You waited a long time but it was worth it to watch a new episode as it aired. You zoomers are lucky, you could literally download and binge the entire series. Too bad you can't find it on Netflix, that's the only software you know how to use.

It was fun following it as it came out too though. The fandom is toppest of tiers, and it had all the possible ingredients to make it suck too so it's miraculous. And with a high level fandom you get a lot of good talk when it's actively being released or even between seasons. It has cooled down a bit now, but it never got to the stage where it sucked.
>>
>>221201822
First episode is not great though. Other than the "they hit me with a truck" and Speedy of course. And the stolen kidneys.

>>221202347
Ben Edlund wrote some episodes too (since both Doc and Jackson worked for him on The Tick), most notably the episode where the scooby-doo gang parody breaks into the venture compound.
>>
>>221189160
I finished the show yesterday (still have the film left). I first watched it about 10 years ago, so I was a full two series behind.

Some of the late episodes were very strong, but I missed the chaotic energy the early series had. They never really matched series 2 (on average, the peaks like Arrears in Science or Operation PROM get there).
>>
>>221203605
Just keeping things straight as a viewer was tiring, I imagine writing it was the most exhausting TV job ever. Season 2 was them discovering the amazing feats they could attempt with their silly little parody, the last seasons were them being trapped inside it.
>>
>>221202993
Is there still a fandom, anywhere? The last season came out 8 years ago, and I rarely see posts on /tv/
>>
>>221203070
I recommended to maybe watch episode 4 to get introduced to a major set of characters that will stay relevant for the rest of the show, then skip to episode 8 and keep watching.
Now that I’m thinking about it, the garage sale episode should probably be watched too. The shrink ray comes up a few times throughout the series. So my recommendation is episodes 4, 6, 8-on (skipping the christmas special)

For the record, I don’t think anything should be skipped during a watch through other than clip shows, but anon wanted to keep his wife engaged with Venture lore.

I agree that episode 1 is basically a redone pilot, but there’s enough there to be entertaining. Still, probably the most skipable episode outside of the season 1 Christmas special.
>>
>>221203776
Not sure, don't think so. I would have been posting about it on some old school 2000's style forums, as well as on /tv/, but I don't remember much discussion about Baboon Heart anywhere. Saw some on Discord, even got some good discussion for a while, but I couldn't find a place specially for Venture Bros (or similar) talk, and discords for general adult cartoon or similar genre shows can be very cancer.

Point being - for a very long time it had a decent and active fandom. I guess it has cooled off since then, but it didn't go rancid.

Operation PROM should have been the series finale and I stand on that opinion

>>221204024
I went as Jonas to a comic con like a decade ago
>>
>>221203706
I think my big problem is I don't care about the Guild rules, and we spend so much time on them later on. The early series make it very clear how stupid the entire arching system is (Brock butchering henchmen and villains, the Monarch just murdering scientists other than Venture but having no idea what to do when he gets Venture, JJ almost destroying the Cacoon in one hit, etc.) Series 6 and 7 are almost entirely about rebuilding this absurd organisation and navigating its rules. It does eventually call it out as childish, but then goes right back to caring about it.

Well, maybe this is the result of watching 20 years of TV in a couple of months.
>>
>>221204541
They seemed to be trying to make the point that the Guild and OSI rules were quite childish, but also that it was the only stable system that prevented nutjobs from shitting all over everything. It even seems like the childishness of the rules is part of why it works.

And we had many characters who had different views on it. Someone like The Monarch was 'self-made', they actually lived up to the Guild stuff without caring too much about the Guild. Someone like Monstroso joined the Guild and lived it just in order to get the benefits. Someone like Doctor Zin really bought into it, but that's because he was on the board and he had it how he liked it. And then we had Augustus Saint-Cloud, who wanted to use it to get one specific thing (fucking with Billy Quizboy). Dr. Mrs. The Monarch was the best fit for it, she was upwardly mobile, talented, and bought into it, clearly she was going to end up running things. And many others but you get it.

It all works because the writers had a good idea about it in their head, and they were able to draw it out over a few decades and subtly show how every character interacts with it. They just so happen to be the kind of characters who would also talk about it with each other, diagetically, and even give exposition and information dumps to each other.

It’s too gay and goes from the first half of the show making gay jokes and being gay is a punchline including groomers then the latter half is being gay is some kind of coincidence now and we can’t joke about gay. And that is actually what led to its demise.

Not many. There's a few that are better. I just can't remember the titles anymore. I have seen LITERALLY -every single animated adult comedy cartoon EVER MADE- (literally).

That's why I can't remember the titles of anything. After you watch like 1000+ things you just can't keep it sorted anymore.

Also because some are more obscure, yet more kino, its hard to remember obscure things because by definition they don't get brought up much.

Try Drawn Together its not the same but its pretty good.

>Season 2 was them discovering the amazing feats they could attempt with their silly little parody, the last seasons were them being trapped inside it.
Eloquently put. I always thought that the show peaked in seasons 2 and 3. After that it struggled under the weight of its own lore.
Season 5 is the nadir, in my opinion. It completed Rusty's flanderization into a dumbass and completely wasted Sgt. Hatred as a part of Team Venture. It would have been a neat change of pace to have a body guard that is able to leverage his extensive knowledge of Guild rules and politics, and use guns. He wasn't going to be the force of nature Brock was, but he didn't have to be so lame and useless either.
The NYC seasons correct a bit by bringing Brock back, continuing the Hank & Dean stories, and putting more focus on the Monarch, but it never got back into the swing that seasons 2 & 3 had.

The show spells it out to you that the Guild "rules" basically only exist to maintain the "beat up the bad guys, send them to jail, they break out and do bad guy shit in a few months" comic book status-quo, preventing villains from doing anything too retardedly evil and heroes from overreacting to what basically amounts to sanctioned buffoonery for the most part.
The OSI is just the G.I. Joe to the Guild's Cobra after they replaced SPHINX.

Back in the day adult swim would re run this show constantly. I've probably seen the first 2 seasons half a dozen times. New eps never seemed to come out so I just assumed it was cancelled, I didn't realize they just took forever between making seasons. I stopped watching Adult Swim sometime in the late 2000s so it's a shock to me to learn that this show ran as long as it did. I don't remember it being anything more than okay to good. Is the whole series worth watching?

The first season just felt like a generic Johnny Quest monster of the week parody. I do recall the second season getting a bit more interesting as it started to establish the nuance of a world where heros/supervillains were real (also kind of retroactively interesting that they were doing this before the explosion of Marvel movies) and they seemed to actually explore some character depth. Does that continue in a good way, or does it crawl up it's own ass into meta self-referential, look-how-smart-we-are-we're-clearly-using-this-to-vent-about-our-own-issues-and-therapy-sessions bull shit?

Anyone else grew to like Dermott over time? I hated him at first but realized it's because he's such an accurate depiction of "that kid" I grew up with. I liked his character development and I like that he kind of has his own life.

Like another anon said, cost. I distinctly recall the creators and Adult Swim publicly calling the budget into question because it was so costly to produce.

no it doesn't do any of that gay shit, the NY seasons are weaker but still alright imo

"Betty Bug-Lady" is my immediate go-to for any insect-themed character name.

Absolutely. Like the other anon said it gets a little weak towards around S6-7 or so but it's still a great watch.

Somehow it manages to explore the world and build lore and all of that but without any therapy or trauma bullshit. The most you get is a single episode in season 3 about dr henry killinger trying to make doc into a villain, and its great.

That episode with JJ nearly destroying the cocoon is a great outcome of guild rules focused episodes though, the whole master play of the monarch to get jj to threaten his life and earn the right to go after jjs relatives, like doc

Thats the second episode. The first is the science conference with the japanese pervert

I can't bring myself to watch a lot of it because there's so much self referential stuff that I barely remember the details on because there's so much time between the seasons.

Skill issue
>>
>>221211749
I think it's fair to consider memorization of random details on a TV show a skill that I lack in, at least for this particular one. I don't think it's a particularly reasonable ask after a certain point though, and I just can't bring myself to catch up on it for that reason

Could Rusty have been a good arch nemesis or antagonist? Say he leaned into the role Dr. Killinger tried to set him up into and used his brain for super villainy. With all that he already knows and experienced throughout his life, could he be successful?
>>
>>221211937
he wasn't even a good super scientist, so he'd pretty much be the monarch

He's actually a pretty decent one just not where it counts:

>Able to make sentient zombies and revive people from the dead
>Made a vacuum that can suck up radiation
>Understands biology well enough to cure diseases and fix some superpower related problems
>Created a remote portable force field

>>221212144
Making super weapons is the exact opposite of being the super scientist jonas was, bringing super tech from the 60s to the 80s for humanity. Yes Jonas was a shitty person but that mostly affected Rusty cause he was the closest to him.

i always hated this argument of theirs because they were both such "um, actually" nerds, especially 21. they should know that smurfette was literally a creation of gargamel, and not part of their original village, so eggs vs mammals is retarded and irrelevant. ALSO there ARE mammals that lay eggs anyway.

It heavily references my favorite gay pederast William S Burroughs with the Dr Gentleman character and even directly includes WSB’s real-life dead 14-year old Moroccan houseboy and lover Kiki as a character

Sure, plenty. Venture Bros is definitely A tier but it's not S tier.

I'm enjoying rewatching Archer. Besides that, the usual suspects ATHF and Xavier the Renegade Angel.
>>
>>221211731
Yeah that was the problem with the show for most people. It had a lore that relied heavily on callbacks to previous episodes but then took two years off between seasons. The only people who could follow the plot perfectly where obsessed nerds who revered the show and re-watched it consistently during the years it wasn't airing. Which is not an insult, it's cool to have a dedicated fanbase and make a show that caters to it, but it's understandable why it wasn't profitable for adult swim. I would've liked to have seen a season 8, but to be honest it did feel like it was running out of steam. That final movie was horrible

I actually met Dean Venture's VA a couple of times as it was airing. Got him to sign some DVDs. Also got him to sign a Berserk DVD since he was the voice director for the dub of the series. He also was part of those outtakes.

>>221189317
While Venture Brothers was a decent enough hit for Adult Swim, it was also by far their most expensive show to produce. Mike Lazzo was eager to help considering he loved it, but feels like one of those things where it broke even with each new season.

I've watched since the pilot dropped. The ending to S1 and watching the S2 premiere blew my mind as a teenager.
