awesome.
I can't wait.
Thanks for the heads up. I can't wait for this either. Also really want new Metalocalypse.
Thanks for sharing this. At the last New York Comic Con they didn't have anything to show for Season 4, so it's real nice to have a small taste of what's in store. Doc said that 21 is going to be really screwed up after the last season's cliffhanger so I can't wait to see more of him and his LARP group.
Anticipated eagerly.
Such a fun show.
Dammit I need to watch the last 4 or 5 of Season 3.
I just rewatched Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD a few weeks ago.
:mr_t:
Dude, season 3 is awesome.
Indeed it is. I had a friend who didn't like the first season that much but I told him to stick with it and he loved the third season more then the second one. Doc and Jackson keep getting better, season after season. So I hope the fourth season will continue to be just as funny.Quote:

FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCC-
forgot all about it, which is unprecedented -- I've never before missed a new episode of this excellent series.
will watch it tomorrow, yay DVR
I'm pissed off their not doing the Friday Night Fix on Adult Swim's website, so I made sure to tape it. I was half watching it because I was busy with other things but I plan on watching it again tomorrow night.
I forgot that it was the start of season four however I've been recording Venture Bros. lately on my DVR (along with Titan Maximum). Pure gold as always. This is going to be a very intense season :)
Not sure I cared for the disjointed stories and the odd comic book overlays through out the episode, but it did serve to condense a lot of story into a very short amount of time and get us to the "1 year later" time period without wasting a lot of time on prologue.
For those of you who forgot and missed it the season opener is being repeated every night this week.
I didn't quite get the 'odd comic book overlay' thing until the comic book-to-clone #24 scene came up and then saw the book was Marvel Comics #1. It was rushed but agreed...fast-paced without doing the whole prologue let-down.
Yeah, it was confusing 3/4ths of the way through until you see that little 15 seconds of dialogue. Still kind of an odd joke.
******SPOILERS*********
Still though, I love what the did with Sgt. Hatred. He was one of the best new characters they brought to the foreground in season 3. Having him return to being a good guy with all the same quircks was a good move that I think will pay off. Getting into the Golden Sphynx vs. O.S.I. conflict and backstory should be fun to see unravel over the course of the season, especially with Brock and Hunter having defected to the Sphynx.
One odd plot point, why couldn't Orpheus bring 24 back to life? Was he just blowing 21 off? That scene didn't make much sense to me, Orpheus takes every opportunity to remind everyone about what he does and the power he wields, why the heck would he pretend to just be a "magician?" He said himself that he's brought back Reagan and Evel Knievel. Not sure they'll explain that later or not, but it was kind of a weird out of character moment.
Also, a kid clone of 24? Who know's if Venture is going to actually do it, but from the preview it may turn into a Lonewolf and Cub situation.
Enough speculation out of me. Eh.
Definitely a lackluster season opener, considering how magnificent the past three have been.
I don't know why but it just seemed depressing.
What I thought was out-of-character was for Molotov to shoot Brock. I know they've fought before on a hardcore level (Brisby episode), but not to kill. And then Brock's got those dark bags under his eyes. Dunno what's up with that.
Eh.
It's like a Bond girl, sure they fuck, but she'd slit his throat at the first opportunity. Plus she's said that nobody can kill him but her. It's kind of obvious that Brock would fuck up her assasin plans. She's already fucked him over severly in season 3, what's a gunshot on top of that?
Also, watching it again, no 24 clone. I realized that it was running in complete reverse order and not jumping around as much as I thought. The comic book thread makes a lot more sense on a second viewing.
Amazing episode on Sunday! So what do you guys think of the season so far, three episodes in?
Nice to see Hank and Dean have separate adventures with their own episodes.
Other than that, just kind of looking forward to how all this stuff ties into everything later.
Second episode was brilliant. Kevin Conroy was at the top of his game in that one.Quote:

Animation was bitchin' in those psychedelic scenes, though.
hahaah floyd hole
Three episodes in and this season is far and away the darkest, most depressing season yet.
I did like when Hank goes up to the attic and sees the Dean shrine and just says to himself "Its all about Dean isnt it." Made me giggle.
Oh yeah that definitely made me giggle too. It's making me smile right now, even!
I taped it on my DVR and haven't gotten around to see it yet. I'll try and watch it tonight or tomorrow.
I love the Venture brothers. The first ep is better the second time or freshly after watching last seansons finale. Eps 2 was the usually stuff we see from the Ventures. Eps 3 did feel like a rehash of some of the ideas they used in some of the other seasons. I can't say I care for the image changes in the characters. Hank trying to look cool but still a doofus. Dean actually wearing the "speedsuit" and now with lip hair. And I need more Brock, Hatred is OK but a poor substitute. I really hope they bring 24 back I love his Ray Romano voice.
Maybe Patric Warburton is too busy to be in the show or something (doing what who the hell knows). He's only been in 1 ep this season and Brock came in without any dialogue in the last episode.
I hope he sticks around to play Brock. Not having Stephen Colbert play Dr. Impossible was kinda lame.
Best thing to take away from this past episode was Doc and Sheila sharing a cool, sitting under the roof while it's raining moment, just talking about stuff.
There will be a new Venture Bros episode tonight
I imagine you saying this like Dr. Orpheus.Quote:

Their already up to the season finale? What's the deal? How many episodes was that? There wasn't even 10 episodes! I might have the episode count wrong, but I can't believe they said season Finale already. It's been one of the best seasons yet and I don't want to wait for the next one in another year or two.
Looking at the latest post on Jackson Publick's blog, it looks like the season is broken up into two parts (4.1 and 4.2). As of November 15th he was finishing the audio mix for the first finale of the season (4.1) and had finished writing the finale for the second half (4.2). So, looks like there is more to come. They'll probably break until sometime in January then pick up again.Quote:

So instead of the usual 13 episodes a season, we're getting 16 this season, broken into two halves. Not bad at all. Hopefully this means Cartoon Network is finally taking them seriously and won't jerk them around with the "are we being picked up for another season?" crap they normally do to them (causing the nice year to two year gap between seasons).
Ah, gotcha. The way they announced it was like it was the end of the 4th season, see you next year or whenever we feel like renewing the contract!Quote:

This season is interesting, like they are breaking everyone down in their own ways to turn them into a new version of each character. Can't wait to see what goes on with Brock in the half-finale, barely been any of him.
This season is so damned weird, mainly because it feels like it's not going anywhere, there's no progression.
It's al character progression & growth right now. It's a bit slow, but it's actually interesting when you take it all in. It's gonna pay off.
Sorry I haven't bumped it with each new episode. I don't know what to say. This whole season has depressed the piss out of me. 24 ragequitting in the season finale mirrored myself, I just feel so done with this series now. Pretty much every episode this season was about nothing, like there was no real progression to whatever aim there was. The whole set-up with Phantom's new revenge society lead to nowhere. Never revealed why Monarch hates Venture (for fuck's sake).
I loved the scene with Brock and Mol, even if it was sad.
I don't know. I suppose I'm in the minority here. Guess I'll read the adult swim boards and see what they think. Maybe Doc and Jack posted there.
It was great when the show was a parody of Jonny Quest and everything else. It was great when the parody took itself seriously. And now it just feels like it's gotten too...'real'. I don't know how else to describe this. I'm at a loss, maybe I saw way too much of myself this season.
You guys really have no idea how much this show has meant to me. Just kinda depressed over this now.
Seems like that was kind of the point of this season.
But that was the point of the whole show really.
I liked the season finale.
Chin up, stage. Archer is coming back.
I thought the finale was downright amazing, alot of things got pieced together. 24 ragequitting brought 21 to peace, and that shitstorm with him and the mrs. being brought to monarch's attention was great too.Quote:

I thought it was freakin' great. I really love this show, what can I say. I came to it late, too, so I watched most of it in a short period of time.
Here's hoping for a fifth season, coming to us soon in 2018.
Really enjoyed the whole season. There are a couple duds and sme of the jokes we're forced, but overall venture bros remains a really fun watch. You can tell that dc and publick put a lot of care into each ep and this finale was great culmination of a lot of things the show stood for.
It feels like a lot of things were wrapped up and Brock came to the realization that happiness was always right in front of him. And it was good to see 21 evolve as well. It felt great to get a lot of thee dangling elements out of the way.
The next season will be a good opertunity to have a fresh start on things and Kane even advance the timeline forward a year or two.
The last five minutes of this episode were just epic. Great choice of song with pulp's like a friend. Sad to see that Mol and Brock are finally over.
I really liked the finale.
How many more years until the next six episodes? :annoyed:
We probably won't see anything until Fall of 2011 at the earliest.Quote:

The shortest gap between seasons was from 2008-2009, but that was only eight episodes.
I'm putting my money on early 2012(!), possibly Spring.
2011 might be the first Venture-Free year since 2007:confused:
Anyways, how awesome is the character's costume design in this show? It never ceases to amaze me how good a lot of these designs are. Everything just seems iconic about the way characters look.
I wonder how long Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick will continue to live in the Venture Playground, because I'd like to see them do something else in animation. Fantastic artists.
The animation is the only real thing holding this show back sometimes. It can be very inconsistent and often lacks the dynamism of some of the episodes in the first season. Season 3 had a lot of good animation as well, whereas season 2 disappointed me. Season 4 was all over the place, but they went all out with the last episode, and I appreciate that.
I know this really is a low budget show (which is why Doc and Jackson do most of the voices), so I'll have to live with the sometimes inconsistent animation. I'm not trying to say this show doesn't look great (far, far from it), but I just like to nit-pick about animation. I would love to see a feature length Venture special with a killer animation budget...
I really wish they would switch over to hour-long episodes after seeing the finale.
