"That's how I want you to feel. Like you learned jack squat, but felt a part of our frenzied love for The Venture Bros. Before you made the mistake of reading this book, you felt like you, and you alone, understood The Venture Bros. You felt the show was written for you. You were right! It was. Don't let this book tell you differently. Don't believe the lies! Forget the half-remembered anecdotes and cryptic scribbles! It's still your show! Nobody will ever understand it but you! You simply stumbled upon our love letters. "Ignore me!" Yours always, Doc Hammer" Go team Venture
In hindsight, Mantilla's whole character encapsulates the entire show's whole thing; a super-intelligent, capable person who spent so much time and resources on an overly-complicated plan for such a simple end-goal that she winds up getting anyway, fully aware of how crazy it looks like to an outsider, and while it fundamentally effects a lot of people's lives along the way, the ending is ultimately of little consequence. That's not me bashing her; I think it's genius.
1:58, theyve all known Shiela for some time and know of her loyalty, but because of the codes of the organizations, they had to make it look as if she escaped so she can get the truth out. They also established earlier how the OSI and Guild treats suspected traitors, so they didnt want her to be subjected to all that, especially since she was innocent, and they didnt want to compromise their own positions.
Honestly when I saw it, I knew they were cramming like 1 or 2 seasons into 1 movie but I could care less given how the show was so packed of stuff for even 1 season. Finding out WHY the Monarch hates Rusty was both ridiculous and hilarious. My only complaint is that we never got to know if the Action Man ever woke up and decided to see Star Wars after his and Hanks adventures in purgatory
How easily Hank forgave Dean was weird. I thought they would have became arch enemies. Maybe I missed something but I’ve seen the movie countless times.
@@tirsomartinez1808 I felt like it was a little light on Dean in general. I do like that Jefferson called him out for it though. Perfect tone and explanation.
What sweet babies!!! 😍 Masterful as always, Billy! I will miss you horribly.... but will be glad to see whatever you decide to cook up for the future. Thank you for your amazing love letter of a series to the greatest Adult Swim animation that ever existed. GO TEAM VENTURE!!
It was both satisfying and bittersweet at the same time. Nice to know that they wrapped up the crucial plotpoints while leaving certain things still up in the air and keeping the ending a slice of life. I will dearly miss this show
extremely bittersweet. But I find it odd that they said that the monarch is dr venture because he is very obviously not. He may have been a clone that Jonas Venture made of Rusty as a kid, but he is very much his own person. These two have less in common then normal twins
My absolutely favorite scene was Dr V Monarch and Garry running into the room with the robots like they were going to kick ass and bleeding from every orifice on their bodies. Biggest letdown: I didn't expect the movie to cover this with the time it had, buut, I really wanted to see the whole thing with Doc and Billy emerging from Grover Clevland's time machine play out. Something about that tease really had me itching for some time paradox action.
To Billy Smolder, to the viewers of his channel, to fans of The Venture Brothers, From someone who has Loved Everything about this show since the premiere of the Pilot, I say this, once more, with feeling, from the Radiant Blood of my leathery Blackheart: Go Team Venture !✌
is... is anyone going to mention the irony that the black vampire hunter...ONLY hunts black vampires? So even if Dean became a vampire, he would be safe from that group?
I am more surpriced about the idea that at one point of time, Rusty boddy was supporting 3 extra living beings, hank, dean and his brother jonas, at the same time.
My favorite small details are each of Hank's other characters clicking a different color on the pen and The Monarchs bandage having his symbol as the blood stain.
Honestly I feel like this movie was a fantastic ending to the "Venture Brothers" arc as a whole. We not only get to see without any ambiguity what Hank and Dean's origins were, but also get a nice conclusion to their personal drama from the previous season and can rest assured that despite all of the toxic relationships this world ended up producing, their bond is solid and they would be able to handle any hardships that will come in their way in the future (albeit rather clumsily). Not only that, but we actually see a reason why The Monarch hated Rusty so much the whole time, which drove a good chunk of the entire series, and even though the answer to how they were related ended up being a little silly, would it really be the Venture Brothers if it wasn't? It also lead to a great moment for every viewer to go "oh, so that's why they called it that" The story of both pairs of venture brothers has concluded, so the series can comfortably come to an end. Of course the characters are going to continue going on new adventures and learning crucial information, but it's not necessary that the audience sees it. It's always been a part of the show that there are plenty of adventures between episodes that we'll never see, because adventuring is just a part of their daily lives at this point. It's sad to see such a beloved series come to an end, and there are definitely parts of the movie that felt like they were originally going to be standalone episodes, but they did the best with what they were able to in my opinion. I would love to see them revisit the world and these characters some more in the future, and there's definitely ample opportunity for them to do so, but personally I'd rather prefer them to use the elaborate world they've built and focus on completely different parts of it instead of just more Rusty, The Monarch, and the boys personal dramas
It's so rare that I look forward to something for so long, and it actually lives up to my unrealistic hopes and expectations. This absolutely nailed the landing. I said, Go Team Venture sir!
I agree, and I think that a big thing that helped with that was the natural expectation to not be fully satisfied that just comes with the property itself. I mean, that’s what the basis of the entire show originally was and it always kept with the setup/letdown formula even in later years. They even handled all the huge reveals that way too; they showed the brothers’ “mom” in an after credits scene but didn’t give the satisfaction of the boys knowing, and they didn’t include the moment where the monarch and rusty actually heard the words “you two are clones of the same guy”, plus the answer was basically given straight to us with Ben’s ramblings while Dean was recovering from fainting in the halloween special. Anyway, I just think that all really worked in the movie’s favor
other than your mentioned gripes, which I share, and a few other little things, The only thing I'm actually sad about was that Doc is still being Doc, I thought after the big OSI/GCT signing with Rusty starting to solve the problems his dad created instead of exasperating them he was on a different path, and then it seems like he really did crack teleportation technology. But, I'm sure it'll be covered in the VENTURE BROTHERS UNIFIED COMIC BOOK coming in the next decade or so
My reaction to the movie wasn't "That's it?" it was "Damn, I'm not ready to say goodbye to all of these characters I love dearly." I hope they do something else, because there's been no other animated show with this level of consistent quality in the writing that I can think of.
I felt Hank’s forgiveness was kinda rushed, though I loved his soliloquies with different versions of himself. Mantilla having a childish crush on DMtM, constructing a super elaborate plan to fulfill it and quickly walking back on it kinda fits with the general character of most of the characters in the show’s universe. Overcommitting to silly stuff in an elaborate but somehow not overcommitted way is kind of the venture bros bread and butter. The Revenge Society did it, Sphinx (Sphinx!) did it, Captain Sunshine did it. It’s good fun
They missed a joke opportunity with the vampire bite plot line. Dean goes crazy thinking he's gonna turn after really getting bit but Jefferson would tell him that it doesn't work like that. Blackulas can drink from other races but can't turn them. Jefferson then scoffs say "Dumbass, everyone know white vampires don't fucking exist."
I love the Mantilla retcon. Why haven’t we seen the boys’ mom? Because we literally couldn’t see her. She’s been in the show the entire time. Very clever.
my feelings towards the movie was very similar to my feelings towards the ending of the Invincible comic series. Im not spoiling it. In the end, the ending felt a bit rushed, conclusive in a way but really rushed. Im satisfied with this but i know there was mush more that could have been done, so much more. Im not mad, im not disappointed but i feel have ended stronger. This was still a fasntastic movie but really could have got more done in a 2 hour run time, or did what futurama did and make mini movies until they were back on the air.
I checked out of Invincible once I saw the strip wanted us to root for the humans which were weak, ugly and evil (see, Cecil). The Viltrumites should have conquered the galaxy and their glorious trail of blood would have been worthy of many stories.
So I've been trying to get my fiance to watch venture Brothers with me since maybe a year into our relationship. (For context we will be together 5 years in November) She's watched like bits here and there and like certain clips and laughed at some jokes in the background but never paid more attention. She knew how much this movie meant to me and watched it with me and loved it and is now open to trying the whole series. She had very little context and ot resonated. All in all a great film that will lead to us watching the whole series together Go team venture
I expected Dean's vampire transformation to somehow link him back to Triana. She was into the whole "Twilight" easthetic and she might think he's cool now he's a vampire.
The whole vampire subplot is so weird for how little climax there is. Idk if maybe it was originally planned to be something more and they had to cut it or what.
I agree with your review basically at every point, but idk if I'm in denial or what, but I really don't think this is the end. The creators have said that they want to make more and considering the fact that Futurama just got a revival and apparently King of the Hill is getting a revival, we're in an age where nothing dies forever. This will probably be the end of the Venture Bros for a good while, but I remain hopeful that some day, we will see these characters again.
I did like that it wasn't so conclusive because if by some miracle the series gets revived or something like that they can just pick up where they left off. I really liked the movie and am sad to see the Venture Bros go and curse the people who canceled the eight season it would of been glorious but atleast we got this movie.
I loved it but also feel a painful longing for what could have been. It's times like these I must remember the cliche, "Don't frown because it's over. Smile because it happened." Also that ending clip was hella cute. I hope I phrase this respectfully, but as a (presumably recent) father, has the Venture Bros guided you in any way on how *not* to raise your kids?
Haha, no offense taken at all. To be totally honest a lot of new parenting is keeping your kid from accidentally killing itself so I kind of just wish I had a few clone slugs to thaw out in case of emergency
I pretty much agree with your criticisms. I'll also add that I feel like ARCH wasn't explained well enough? If it was just cover for mantilla to get close to Dr. Mrs, then what was up with all those henchmen? Were they just random hires? and how did she fake that footage to make it look like Dr. Mrs. was controlling ARCH? I know they only had so much time, but I feel a couple more scenes here and there could have helped. And to try to explain what the scene at 2:00, I guess legally they were required to detain or kill her (by the OSI and Guild) but personally they didn't want to? That was my interpretation. So they're acting it up for their respective sides. I really did like the movie though! Glad certain characters got to shine a bit and I'm really happy with where and how it ended. That being said, I would love if they were allowed to make more movies in the future. I doubt we'd ever get a full season again but I can see more movies happening if the stars align.
My brother and I watch series together all the time. This was one he found and brought me into, and I was brought in right before the last two episodes aired so I didn’t have to experience the agony of waiting in between seasons more than once, but that cancellation and movie announcement was definitely agonizing lmao. Hank is my favorite character, so I was naturally devastated all that time. But I’m very satisfied. I agree with your complaints, but I think they did a great job with the consolidation of an entire season into one movie. The only thing I would really add to that list of complaints myself would be that I was a little disappointed that the monarch continued being evil and all that-I really thought that he was going to give evil up and become the blue morpho once he realized he was wasting all his hatred on essentially himself. But the thing I can’t stop gushing about still is just how absolutely perfect the mother reveal was. Of COURSE it was him! It just had to be, there was no other good explanation that would have satisfied anyone at all. And there was no answer that would have been as heartwarming. I love that this fact alone is what finally solidifies in us the idea that rusty really does love his kids, he’s just so broken from his childhood that he doesn’t know how to show it in a way that’s comprehensible to everyone around him. And then of course he has his ego holding him back from admitting he didn’t get someone pregnant lol. Heartwarming stuff. Go team venture.
"And then of course he has his ego holding him back from admitting he didn't get someone pregnant." Well, not for Hank and Dean, but...he DID for Dermott.😉
Thanks man, you manage to make the show conclusion fell even better. As a fan I never expected to see a youtube review show that encapsulates the essence of my favourite cartoon , but here we are. Go team Venture.
i cant say i love it because it would be a lie, i didnt needed a big grant adventure because true, is not the show for that, im kinda glad the one to get a existential reassurance was actually the monarch if i had to be choose from him and doc, but honestly, would have liked they reworked the whole mantilla thing, it feel so op by the level of money and power they had from nothing to just "yay i'm going to be a real villain! cant wait!" only to be resolved so offhandedly, from everything at all, even the investors felt more connected to everybody else by being sinister alone
great video as always! just curious, have you heard about the letter campaign to adult swim and warner bros that got started on the vbros reddit? and if so, what is your opinion on it?
I have heard about it! I'll do my part and send in a letter but I think if anything saves the show it'll be movie sales/streaming numbers. Personally though I think Venture Bros, as we know it, is done.
Thanks for posting this review. I had no idea the movie dropped. Their has been zero adds about it Just ordered the blu ray Real shame the show will likely not continue I feel venture bros defently needed 3-4 more seasons to wrap up properly
I think Brock, Shore Leave and Red Death really were arresting Sheila because they thought she was guilty of a crime. Shore Leave shouted "run" to give her a head start because he liked her - as did the whole crew because they had worked with her for a long time. Red Death knew she was innocent but didn't fancy his chances against the people in the OSI - there would have been carnage if they had turned to combat so he avoided it by using Daisy the horse to help her escape. It also enabled the awesome sequence of her jumping out of the window in her nightgown and riding away on Daisy. I found the flashback-scene of the boys' antics over the years very moving too. I don't know if I am reading too much into this, but I reckon that Dean mistakenly thinking he is a vampire, is a manifestation of his guilt over sleeping with his brother's girlfriend. Dean tends to brood on the events of his life, but he is usually a kind and decent person. This is the first time he has done anything bad and he did it to the person closest to him. His worry that he had become a vampire was him coming to terms with a side of himself which he didn't like.
It was nice that they kept their original vision of having a non-traditional ending. No backyard BBQ with all the characters gathering and being chummy, zooming out on the location and flashing "The end", this was basically a longer episode, and while it may be the definitive end, there's always a chance for more. Whether the series can get revived by a new network, or just return in a more concentrated format with specials, who knows, but knowing that there's still some mysteries left means any possible revivals would be justified. It wouldn't be coming back just because "people liked this show", as is often the case with a lot of programs that get revived, at least the comedy focused ones, I guess I should say.
The most relatable thing you said was saying how you felt like you had control over the show being over when the movie was over. This show has actually been so amazing and impactful to me that i felt like it was difficult to say good bye
I really hope, with all the strength of my heart and soul, my SPIRIT, that we get more, I don't care if it's another movie in 15 years or a revival in 30. Me and my brother absolutely loved the movie, we even loved the things we didn't quite like, and yup, I agree with you, completely. I was waiting for your video since I first watched the movie, you've become a very important part of my Venture Bros experience, thank you for making videos man.
I'll be honest, I wanted more Scare Bear. Dude was just funny without sayin a word, wouldn't have even cared if they still didn't reveal who was under it. And I originally wanted more Force Majeure, but once they showed how he was "defeated" I died laughing and was so satisfied with that.
Thinking back on the venture brothers one of the questions I want to know is are the micro bots still in Dean? Are they related to the Triana thing where Dean was supposed to have a mutated baby? Because what’s powering those micro bots? It could also be because he’s a clone.
2:01 this scene is directly ripped of from the movie, MINORITY REPORT, in which Sheila is played by TOM CRUISE…it’s also kind of a trope, so I’m surprised you didn’t have a reference for it…
I loved the movie by and large. Could have been longer, there could have been more... Yeah, but a perfect wrap-up was always going to leave you feeling that way. I'd like to believe there will be more at some point but, either way, go team Venture. I love you, Venture Bros.
Excellent reaction sir, as always! I would love to see your take on some other properties in the future. I doubt there will be more shows but I would be there if they did more. Thanks for all your hard work! GO TEAM VENTURE!!!
@@BillTheSpill well deserved. Try to watch you on my work account and my baedenfield Google account. I was watching the Nerdist follow up to their timeline video, and realized there is still so much to talk about VB. Just a deep dive on the music references would be a series lol!
Sure, we could have gotten more of everything, but under the circumstances I'm satisfied with what we got. It wasn't the ending we deserved, but it was the ending we needed.
I was sadly not as satisfied as I thought I be. I really hope they would address season 7 time machine where Malcolm meets future Rusty. Seems like a idea that won't be finished 😕😔
For me it was satisfactory but I guess it's the venture bros nature of not always getting what you specifically want I just feel like the name of the show is a little devoid of meaning when technically there are no venture bros they're all clones (asides from dermit) which brings in to question if they can even be called brothers especially if rusty and malcome aren't
I have no real social media presence anymore, so I gotta post my review here. YOU'RE WELCOME, THE INTERNET. Here's the thing: I didn't expect a massive ending; knowing the subversive nature of the venture brothers narrative, I expected an anticlimax parade and in some ways that's entirely what it was. The comedy of the venture brothers often comes from a massive anticlimax where the finale would be, and I don't know any other way that a movie could have worked. I do regret not giving the boys a mother-i think it invalidates the whole action man coma scene which I may be the one person who actually liked it. The force majeure / bobbi st. simone angle could have easily been a season's worth of b-plot and I think that's why her abandoning the plan came off as so randomly asspulled. Referencing the 'abandoned zoo' that Hank used to run away to, and then having him run away to it again, was my favorite deep cut of this particular story, but there were some others that really got me. I'm one of the people who started watching the venture bros because I love watching Brock murder people, and though his characterization has changed to where he's not the twitchy eye swedish murder machine I initially fell in love with, I think he kind of got dumped on in this part of the story. He was barely there and he did almost nothing that mattered, and his big speech was another anticlimax in that the rest of the OSI laughed at him. (I did enjoy he and Red Death's posturing bits though.) I really think that it could have been done better in a number of ways; even another 30 minute director's cut could fix some of the problems I had with it, but overall I am satisfied with the ending, I loooooved the resolution of the shared DNA between Rusty and Malcom, and really the story of Hank and Dean making up finally I would have loved regardless as the rift between them after Sirena kind of broke my heart. Derpy Daisy made me giggle and got the hardest laugh out of me, especially when tied up and then rising out of the chair to do an abortive kneel to the true sovreign of the guild and then admitting that he needs to shut the fuck up, that had me in stitches. Jefferson's battle with the blackulas gave us some delicious action and plot, the golem trick actually was a good one, and honestly I could do a whole series about a shared work/living space for twisted edgy loner superheroes. I'm happy with it, even if it isn't perfect-but I'm really just happy that the Venture Brothers was there for us in our moments when we felt like failures-because the overarching theme of the venture brothers is that failure isn't the end. Thanks as always for your content on this channel and for giving me a home to talk about it. Go team venture!
I thought it was great! It wasn't going to wrap everything up. It did a lot! I would love it if they eventually do more, but if they never do this was a fitting end.
Loved the video, the only thing i disagree with is the notion that "if you expected it to tie up all the questions in a neat little bow youre watching the wrong show". Venture bros always answered questions while introducing more to be asked but it didnt just drop the ball entirely. It always felt like it was saving the best questions to keep people intrigued while they were having fun with their favorite characters, the mere fact it finally told us who the boys mother was should be proof. But you said it felt empty after the credits started rolling. I think thats why. The network gave them one final chance to answer our questions and end on a satisfying note, but i dont feel like they did. I dont think you should just wave it away and excuse it. Its poor writing and it feels like a bit of a spat in the face as a fan who was there for the first episodes airing. I wouldnt be so upset if it wasnt their final try. It ultimately just felt like another random episode, a fair episode, but nothing special. It feels hollow knowing they had this opportunity and squandered it. I think they pulled back and decided not to give us everything we wanted, not because "its that kind of show" but because they wanted to leverage this into a return of the show proper. Either that or they legitimately dont know how to make satisfying endings except by shoehorning more mysteries. They did the same thing the last two seasons, ending it with more questions and intigue. Sadly this special didnt make any huge waves, barely anyone online is talking about it, and i dont think they are getting any more chances so it feels pretty bad to be a fan of this great show that, at least to me, just didnt stick the landing. Loved it as just another random episode, hate it as a finale
I also have that empty feeling. I didn't dislike it but just felt like a lot of the conclusions and story beats didn't make a lot of sense. I didn't like Mantilla's stuff at all and the Venture building floating was a fun idea but would be fun for an episode of the show, not the plot of a movie
Movies are not, and should not, be made for everybody as we all have different tastes. As for me, I have some thoughts: - The first being that Dean was already an annoying bitch since he went emo with the haircut. He just seems unnecessarily mad all the time, for no reason even when Brock came back. - Saying that "it's not that kind of movie" is honestly a cop out. They had intentions for scare bear for next season but the show got cancelled considering he drove the plot of the last season in some episodes knowing who he was is a big deal. When you finish a show you do have an obligation to answer questions. The ORB (if I recall correctly) was already answered and it was broken too so we can chock it up to that. -Mantilla's storyline was pointless. Bobbi's story was good enough as it is they didn't need to add a brand new character for something that seemed really reasonable. Dr. Mrs. The Monarch's arc was done in my opinion last season they didn't need to waste our time with that pointless story and instead could have answered some questions. Instead we're stuck with that misandrist **** because (2023 wahmen). -They turned Red Death into a joke he seemed like the other villains when he was made to be a big deal prior. -Brick Frog's storyline went nowhere and honestly should have been more of a story that seemed interesting. OSI should have played a bigger role too. - We don't need ALL the questions answered just the important ones. I get that it was a movie and to cram all of the series answers into it would have been challenging but there are ways around it, i.e. answer these questions on the show and as per the movie cram more time into it. It's not uncommon for movies to be 2hrs almost 3hrs long these days and that could have given them a bit more wiggle room. -Instead we got a cock tease about Monarch and Venture. We didn't need an origin we already knew what Monarch's origin was and the baboon DNA was pointless. Yeah it explains his aggression but that didn't need an explanation. Some people have anger issues. He's human. If the baboon DNA gave him some kind of strength it'd be one thing but it does nothing except prevent hair loss which, given that the Monarch is RICH he could have solved that with hair plugs or have his wife concoct something for that. There was also some bullshit reason about he hates Venture for sleeping with his girlfriend at the time. He said it was "one of a hundred reasons" he hates Venture. Ok. What's the MAIN reason better yet, give us a bigger reason or name a few it doesn't have to be all. Sleeping with his girlfriend is a fine reason to hate him but I feel like them not answering is a slap to the face. Leaving it up to your imagination was cool at one point but it feels like their saying "write the story for me." The Monarch's hatred for Venture drives a lot of the plots for various episodes I would think, if any questions were going to be answered, it'd be that one it sounds like it'd be pretty fucking important, don't you think? Instead our time is wasted with other nonsense we didn't need. - A great way to end it would have been focus on the Monarch and Venture instead of searching for Hank (which the boys story could have been a sidelined answer or a B storyline) and have the Guild disbanded for incompetency. I'm fine with the villains being around but perhaps a new better org could be created that fixes the guild's shortcomings and same for OSI (if you want). It was an ok movie but it felt like another episode and all this time I'm just like...meh. Ok. The last line of the movie is 21 saying "Pwned' which is cringey but that's his character so I'll take it.
In case if you didnt liked venture brothers' movie: 1)Watch it again 2)Repeat st.1 until you're liking it Pardon me for being salty, but a lot of this film feels kinda wrong, more than some: Debra's backstory exists only to oppose main moral of the picture; there's no hint how Debra's tools and comany was able to compete with Guild; Brock is just going "They are the best of the best" & do nothin whole picture, Dean being just NPC giving escort mission, uugh. This is half-4ssed film when you hear *beep* and see that "Elige tua" is gibberish from google translate. Venture was clever, it was a goddamn Rat-King of backstories and motivations after bit of kickstart in S1-2. And this is low level for them, I dare to say, they get from venture's level to marvel's level. I wonder, what would happen if they gave answers - in their own special way of course - to most anticipated questions and tied up all hanging ends, rather than introduce one-time "new threat level like nothing before" villain. The crew did best what they could but it aint a reason to close eyes on what is weak. Ill better go rewatch best of old seasons and jackoff on edgy 21st, thank you for the time
yeah gonna miss the show for sure hope we can get spinoffs of theme like i swear it can still work like a anthropology series like super villeins in a bar telling story's or drunk spy legends tells
no you must answers every question who is Hawk and Dean's mother. who is the real heir to the Guild? Will Demit ever tell Hank and Dean that he is there bother? Why does the Monarch Hate Rusty?????
This doesn't sound like a story they wanted to tell. It sounds like they were shafted and given a movie after really really really trying hard to fight for it or obtained it via sympathy or whatever but only got rights for a movie and they had to scramble. If they had been given a green light for more seasons they could tell the story they wanted better.
Offen works of fiction are bigger than the author's own view. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle hated Sherlock Holmes. He bad mouth the character and said he rejoiced at Holmes death. What was Doyle's real interest? Fairies. Yep, he believed in and studied fairies. After Doyle realized what a dumbass he was, he reclaimed Sherlock Holmes. That's like a parent who throws their nine-year-old out on the street because they hate them. After their child becomes rich and famous, they start bang on the door begging for money. I think Public and Hammer are genius, but they actually hate what is best about the Venture Bros. Well, Public does. The only character grows, the only character who see the world he is born into and reacts sanely is Dean. Both of the boys are deeply damaged by the life they were born into. Hank escapes into an ever-growing fantasy world which he never leaves. Dean is this jittery scared kid afraid of the world. Still, the entire series Dean fight to escape the cards he is dealt. The most telling episode of this is the Halloween special. The three brothers confront their past by going to the Potter home. All of them are afraid, but only Dean stands up faces the Venture past by entering the Potter home. Hank and Dermot stay in back and live a life eternal childhood. This is where Dean steps up and confronts the future. It's not an easy decision, and he is not met by success. Hank and Dermot never grow past that point. Hank is lost in fantasy world, while Dermot is the forever trailer park kid. The whole series Dean and his growth to be more than the cards life dealt him. The only other person who become more than his circumstance is henchman 21. I don't know if hapless henchmen's growth into a passive serial killer is all that inspiring. I haven't seen the movie year. I may never see the movie. Whatever is said, about the show, it reverts to season one. Dean is a sniveling coward, and we are all supposed to break into tear because Hank isn't given an enough love. This is more about Public's dealing with his own issues than then the show. I'll tell you this. In twenty years, Public will be less than a fart in the wind. Looking for relevance Public will be banging on the Venture's door. The door will open and he will say, "Remember me? I'm your good old dad. You don't want to leave me out in the cold, do you?" Public will be speaking to a ghost who says, "You could've done something at one time, but those days are dead and gone." Yeah, I'm not ever watching the movie.
I watched this with my dad, which we loved, LOVED it. We were so confused by the post credits scene, but shocked at the same time. We were also shocked of how they pull the building down on the og site because HOW DID THEY FIT A WHOLE ROBOT IN A SMALL TALL BUILDING😭😭 10/10 movie.
I actually disagree with you on the have to be a venture bros fan, I've never seen the series neither was I a fan but I enjoyed the movie,it was good and funny as hell...

"That's how I want you to feel. Like you learned jack squat, but felt a part of our frenzied love for The Venture Bros. Before you made the mistake of reading this book, you felt like you, and you alone, understood The Venture Bros. You felt the show was written for you.
You were right!
It was.
Don't let this book tell you differently. Don't believe the lies! Forget the half-remembered anecdotes and cryptic scribbles! It's still your show! Nobody will ever understand it but you! You simply stumbled upon our love letters.
"Ignore me!"
Yours always,

Go team Venture
I read the book's afterword just before watching the movie and it really applies to the movie as well.
We almost got more of Force Majeure in what was almost Season 8, and he would’ve been voiced by Matt Berry too.
This hurt my soul, imagine what we could've had!
Technically they only said they wanted Matt Berry, it might not have worked out. Not sure if that softens the blow or not.
@@BillTheSpill never knew that
:(((( I hate new adult swim
That would have been totally awesome!
This confirms, the Venture Bros were never Hank and Dean, it was always about Rusty and Malcolm
In hindsight, Mantilla's whole character encapsulates the entire show's whole thing; a super-intelligent, capable person who spent so much time and resources on an overly-complicated plan for such a simple end-goal that she winds up getting anyway, fully aware of how crazy it looks like to an outsider, and while it fundamentally effects a lot of people's lives along the way, the ending is ultimately of little consequence.
That's not me bashing her; I think it's genius.
1:58, theyve all known Shiela for some time and know of her loyalty, but because of the codes of the organizations, they had to make it look as if she escaped so she can get the truth out. They also established earlier how the OSI and Guild treats suspected traitors, so they didnt want her to be subjected to all that, especially since she was innocent, and they didnt want to compromise their own positions.
Yea this seemed very obvious idk
Honestly when I saw it, I knew they were cramming like 1 or 2 seasons into 1 movie but I could care less given how the show was so packed of stuff for even 1 season. Finding out WHY the Monarch hates Rusty was both ridiculous and hilarious. My only complaint is that we never got to know if the Action Man ever woke up and decided to see Star Wars after his and Hanks adventures in purgatory
Hank's memory sequence definitely hit me in the feels. I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!
How easily Hank forgave Dean was weird. I thought they would have became arch enemies. Maybe I missed something but I’ve seen the movie countless times.
@@tirsomartinez1808 I felt like it was a little light on Dean in general. I do like that Jefferson called him out for it though. Perfect tone and explanation.
What sweet babies!!! 😍 Masterful as always, Billy! I will miss you horribly.... but will be glad to see whatever you decide to cook up for the future. Thank you for your amazing love letter of a series to the greatest Adult Swim animation that ever existed. GO TEAM VENTURE!!
It was both satisfying and bittersweet at the same time. Nice to know that they wrapped up the crucial plotpoints while leaving certain things still up in the air and keeping the ending a slice of life. I will dearly miss this show
extremely bittersweet.
But I find it odd that they said that the monarch is dr venture because he is very obviously not. He may have been a clone that Jonas Venture made of Rusty as a kid, but he is very much his own person. These two have less in common then normal twins
@@rphb5870 Well, one was raised by Jonas and another was raised by butterflies, so...
@@mythra7174 the monarch is obviously the more sane of the two
My absolutely favorite scene was Dr V Monarch and Garry running into the room with the robots like they were going to kick ass and bleeding from every orifice on their bodies.
Biggest letdown: I didn't expect the movie to cover this with the time it had, buut, I really wanted to see the whole thing with Doc and Billy emerging from Grover Clevland's time machine play out. Something about that tease really had me itching for some time paradox action.
To Billy Smolder, to the viewers of his channel, to fans of The Venture Brothers, From someone who has Loved Everything about this show since the premiere of the Pilot, I say this, once more, with feeling, from the Radiant Blood of my leathery Blackheart:
Go Team Venture !✌
is... is anyone going to mention the irony that the black vampire hunter...ONLY hunts black vampires? So even if Dean became a vampire, he would be safe from that group?
Really thought he was gonna turn black yeah
I am more surpriced about the idea that at one point of time, Rusty boddy was supporting 3 extra living beings, hank, dean and his brother jonas, at the same time.
My favorite small details are each of Hank's other characters clicking a different color on the pen and The Monarchs bandage having his symbol as the blood stain.
Honestly I feel like this movie was a fantastic ending to the "Venture Brothers" arc as a whole. We not only get to see without any ambiguity what Hank and Dean's origins were, but also get a nice conclusion to their personal drama from the previous season and can rest assured that despite all of the toxic relationships this world ended up producing, their bond is solid and they would be able to handle any hardships that will come in their way in the future (albeit rather clumsily). Not only that, but we actually see a reason why The Monarch hated Rusty so much the whole time, which drove a good chunk of the entire series, and even though the answer to how they were related ended up being a little silly, would it really be the Venture Brothers if it wasn't? It also lead to a great moment for every viewer to go "oh, so that's why they called it that"
The story of both pairs of venture brothers has concluded, so the series can comfortably come to an end. Of course the characters are going to continue going on new adventures and learning crucial information, but it's not necessary that the audience sees it. It's always been a part of the show that there are plenty of adventures between episodes that we'll never see, because adventuring is just a part of their daily lives at this point. It's sad to see such a beloved series come to an end, and there are definitely parts of the movie that felt like they were originally going to be standalone episodes, but they did the best with what they were able to in my opinion. I would love to see them revisit the world and these characters some more in the future, and there's definitely ample opportunity for them to do so, but personally I'd rather prefer them to use the elaborate world they've built and focus on completely different parts of it instead of just more Rusty, The Monarch, and the boys personal dramas
It's so rare that I look forward to something for so long, and it actually lives up to my unrealistic hopes and expectations.
This absolutely nailed the landing. I said, Go Team Venture sir!
I agree, and I think that a big thing that helped with that was the natural expectation to not be fully satisfied that just comes with the property itself. I mean, that’s what the basis of the entire show originally was and it always kept with the setup/letdown formula even in later years.
They even handled all the huge reveals that way too; they showed the brothers’ “mom” in an after credits scene but didn’t give the satisfaction of the boys knowing, and they didn’t include the moment where the monarch and rusty actually heard the words “you two are clones of the same guy”, plus the answer was basically given straight to us with Ben’s ramblings while Dean was recovering from fainting in the halloween special. Anyway, I just think that all really worked in the movie’s favor
I loved the movie, but I agree - this movie is pretty much just for fans of the series. D'aw @ the kiddos, so cute!
That's a beautiful and relevant send off.
other than your mentioned gripes, which I share, and a few other little things, The only thing I'm actually sad about was that Doc is still being Doc, I thought after the big OSI/GCT signing with Rusty starting to solve the problems his dad created instead of exasperating them he was on a different path, and then it seems like he really did crack teleportation technology.
But, I'm sure it'll be covered in the VENTURE BROTHERS UNIFIED COMIC BOOK coming in the next decade or so
That was an extremely wholesome review, the bit at the end with your family was a nice touch. Go Team Venture.
My reaction to the movie wasn't "That's it?" it was "Damn, I'm not ready to say goodbye to all of these characters I love dearly." I hope they do something else, because there's been no other animated show with this level of consistent quality in the writing that I can think of.
Have you watched BoJack Horseman? That's a good one, too. The Venture Brothers edges it out for me as my fave, though.
I love what you said, and...I love The Venture Brothers. Go Team Venture!
I felt Hank’s forgiveness was kinda rushed, though I loved his soliloquies with different versions of himself. Mantilla having a childish crush on DMtM, constructing a super elaborate plan to fulfill it and quickly walking back on it kinda fits with the general character of most of the characters in the show’s universe. Overcommitting to silly stuff in an elaborate but somehow not overcommitted way is kind of the venture bros bread and butter. The Revenge Society did it, Sphinx (Sphinx!) did it, Captain Sunshine did it. It’s good fun
I still don’t get how Mantilla funded Arch and it’s never explained because she seems like a broke bitch at the end.
The clip of your kid at the end was priceless 😢
What disappoints me in this movie is the fact Ventronic clown arm was piloted by the Monarch and Gold was given to Sgt Hatred.
Also the monarch choosing to continue being the monarch at the end with the great speech
They missed a joke opportunity with the vampire bite plot line. Dean goes crazy thinking he's gonna turn after really getting bit but Jefferson would tell him that it doesn't work like that. Blackulas can drink from other races but can't turn them. Jefferson then scoffs say "Dumbass, everyone know white vampires don't fucking exist."
Wait, IS PHANTOM LIMB WALKING AROUND BAREFOOT? I never even thought about that!
I love the Mantilla retcon. Why haven’t we seen the boys’ mom? Because we literally couldn’t see her. She’s been in the show the entire time. Very clever.
She isn't really their mom, biologically yeah but not really
Well yeah he’s been in literally all episodes
my feelings towards the movie was very similar to my feelings towards the ending of the Invincible comic series. Im not spoiling it. In the end, the ending felt a bit rushed, conclusive in a way but really rushed. Im satisfied with this but i know there was mush more that could have been done, so much more. Im not mad, im not disappointed but i feel have ended stronger. This was still a fasntastic movie but really could have got more done in a 2 hour run time, or did what futurama did and make mini movies until they were back on the air.
I checked out of Invincible once I saw the strip wanted us to root for the humans which were weak, ugly and evil (see, Cecil). The Viltrumites should have conquered the galaxy and their glorious trail of blood would have been worthy of many stories.
So I've been trying to get my fiance to watch venture Brothers with me since maybe a year into our relationship. (For context we will be together 5 years in November)
She's watched like bits here and there and like certain clips and laughed at some jokes in the background but never paid more attention. She knew how much this movie meant to me and watched it with me and loved it and is now open to trying the whole series. She had very little context and ot resonated.
All in all a great film that will lead to us watching the whole series together
Go team venture
I expected Dean's vampire transformation to somehow link him back to Triana. She was into the whole "Twilight" easthetic and she might think he's cool now he's a vampire.
The whole vampire subplot is so weird for how little climax there is. Idk if maybe it was originally planned to be something more and they had to cut it or what.
Agreed
I agree with your review basically at every point, but idk if I'm in denial or what, but I really don't think this is the end. The creators have said that they want to make more and considering the fact that Futurama just got a revival and apparently King of the Hill is getting a revival, we're in an age where nothing dies forever. This will probably be the end of the Venture Bros for a good while, but I remain hopeful that some day, we will see these characters again.
There's a letter writing campaign going on right now you can look into if you're interested in participating
Debbie felt like a third wheel, that needed more time
I did like that it wasn't so conclusive because if by some miracle the series gets revived or something like that they can just pick up where they left off. I really liked the movie and am sad to see the Venture Bros go and curse the people who canceled the eight season it would of been glorious but atleast we got this movie.
It left a better legacy then Rick and Morty
I loved it but also feel a painful longing for what could have been. It's times like these I must remember the cliche, "Don't frown because it's over. Smile because it happened."
Also that ending clip was hella cute. I hope I phrase this respectfully, but as a (presumably recent) father, has the Venture Bros guided you in any way on how *not* to raise your kids?
Haha, no offense taken at all. To be totally honest a lot of new parenting is keeping your kid from accidentally killing itself so I kind of just wish I had a few clone slugs to thaw out in case of emergency
I pretty much agree with your criticisms. I'll also add that I feel like ARCH wasn't explained well enough? If it was just cover for mantilla to get close to Dr. Mrs, then what was up with all those henchmen? Were they just random hires? and how did she fake that footage to make it look like Dr. Mrs. was controlling ARCH? I know they only had so much time, but I feel a couple more scenes here and there could have helped. And to try to explain what the scene at 2:00, I guess legally they were required to detain or kill her (by the OSI and Guild) but personally they didn't want to? That was my interpretation. So they're acting it up for their respective sides.
I really did like the movie though! Glad certain characters got to shine a bit and I'm really happy with where and how it ended. That being said, I would love if they were allowed to make more movies in the future. I doubt we'd ever get a full season again but I can see more movies happening if the stars align.
My brother and I watch series together all the time. This was one he found and brought me into, and I was brought in right before the last two episodes aired so I didn’t have to experience the agony of waiting in between seasons more than once, but that cancellation and movie announcement was definitely agonizing lmao. Hank is my favorite character, so I was naturally devastated all that time.
But I’m very satisfied. I agree with your complaints, but I think they did a great job with the consolidation of an entire season into one movie. The only thing I would really add to that list of complaints myself would be that I was a little disappointed that the monarch continued being evil and all that-I really thought that he was going to give evil up and become the blue morpho once he realized he was wasting all his hatred on essentially himself.
But the thing I can’t stop gushing about still is just how absolutely perfect the mother reveal was. Of COURSE it was him! It just had to be, there was no other good explanation that would have satisfied anyone at all. And there was no answer that would have been as heartwarming. I love that this fact alone is what finally solidifies in us the idea that rusty really does love his kids, he’s just so broken from his childhood that he doesn’t know how to show it in a way that’s comprehensible to everyone around him. And then of course he has his ego holding him back from admitting he didn’t get someone pregnant lol.
Heartwarming stuff. Go team venture.
"And then of course he has his ego holding him back from admitting he didn't get someone pregnant." Well, not for Hank and Dean, but...he DID for Dermott.😉
Thanks man, you manage to make the show conclusion fell even better. As a fan I never expected to see a youtube review show that encapsulates the essence of my favourite cartoon , but here we are.
Go team Venture.
Thanks for the screencap of that "youtube" video Hank was watching. Some cute call-backs and easter eggs in there!
The end of this video was so unexpected and so beautiful, amazing review!
i cant say i love it because it would be a lie, i didnt needed a big grant adventure because true, is not the show for that, im kinda glad the one to get a existential reassurance was actually the monarch if i had to be choose from him and doc, but honestly, would have liked they reworked the whole mantilla thing, it feel so op by the level of money and power they had from nothing to just "yay i'm going to be a real villain! cant wait!" only to be resolved so offhandedly, from everything at all, even the investors felt more connected to everybody else by being sinister alone
great video as always! just curious, have you heard about the letter campaign to adult swim and warner bros that got started on the vbros reddit? and if so, what is your opinion on it?
I have heard about it! I'll do my part and send in a letter but I think if anything saves the show it'll be movie sales/streaming numbers. Personally though I think Venture Bros, as we know it, is done.
Thanks for posting this review. I had no idea the movie dropped. Their has been zero adds about it
Just ordered the blu ray
Real shame the show will likely not continue I feel venture bros defently needed 3-4 more seasons to wrap up properly
I think Brock, Shore Leave and Red Death really were arresting Sheila because they thought she was guilty of a crime. Shore Leave shouted "run" to give her a head start because he liked her - as did the whole crew because they had worked with her for a long time.
Red Death knew she was innocent but didn't fancy his chances against the people in the OSI - there would have been carnage if they had turned to combat so he avoided it by using Daisy the horse to help her escape. It also enabled the awesome sequence of her jumping out of the window in her nightgown and riding away on Daisy.
I found the flashback-scene of the boys' antics over the years very moving too.
I don't know if I am reading too much into this, but I reckon that Dean mistakenly thinking he is a vampire, is a manifestation of his guilt over sleeping with his brother's girlfriend. Dean tends to brood on the events of his life, but he is usually a kind and decent person. This is the first time he has done anything bad and he did it to the person closest to him. His worry that he had become a vampire was him coming to terms with a side of himself which he didn't like.
Who is scare bear?
It was nice that they kept their original vision of having a non-traditional ending. No backyard BBQ with all the characters gathering and being chummy, zooming out on the location and flashing "The end", this was basically a longer episode, and while it may be the definitive end, there's always a chance for more. Whether the series can get revived by a new network, or just return in a more concentrated format with specials, who knows, but knowing that there's still some mysteries left means any possible revivals would be justified. It wouldn't be coming back just because "people liked this show", as is often the case with a lot of programs that get revived, at least the comedy focused ones, I guess I should say.
The most relatable thing you said was saying how you felt like you had control over the show being over when the movie was over. This show has actually been so amazing and impactful to me that i felt like it was difficult to say good bye
I really hope, with all the strength of my heart and soul, my SPIRIT, that we get more, I don't care if it's another movie in 15 years or a revival in 30.
Me and my brother absolutely loved the movie, we even loved the things we didn't quite like, and yup, I agree with you, completely.
I was waiting for your video since I first watched the movie, you've become a very important part of my Venture Bros experience, thank you for making videos man.
The confrontation/escape with Sheila was a pull from a movie, probably one only Doc and Jackson ever saw.
I'll be honest, I wanted more Scare Bear. Dude was just funny without sayin a word, wouldn't have even cared if they still didn't reveal who was under it. And I originally wanted more Force Majeure, but once they showed how he was "defeated" I died laughing and was so satisfied with that.
8:03 Wow that title is a mouthful for me and I'm grown. Good work little guy
@@agentalucard his father talks way too much about The Venture Bros!
I loved how Jefferson just hated deen the whole time
Thinking back on the venture brothers one of the questions I want to know is are the micro bots still in Dean? Are they related to the Triana thing where Dean was supposed to have a mutated baby? Because what’s powering those micro bots? It could also be because he’s a clone.
2:01 this scene is directly ripped of from the movie, MINORITY REPORT, in which Sheila is played by TOM CRUISE…it’s also kind of a trope, so I’m surprised you didn’t have a reference for it…
reference video is next week
The movie, as well as most of the last season minus the pivotal scene with Venture Senior was, in one word: floundering.
beautiful, just absolutely beautiful
My favorite moment is Brook's speech
I loved the movie by and large. Could have been longer, there could have been more... Yeah, but a perfect wrap-up was always going to leave you feeling that way. I'd like to believe there will be more at some point but, either way, go team Venture. I love you, Venture Bros.
Wanting more is on the point. For a grand finale movie from one of the best shows of all time they left a lot on the table
Excellent reaction sir, as always! I would love to see your take on some other properties in the future. I doubt there will be more shows but I would be there if they did more. Thanks for all your hard work! GO TEAM VENTURE!!!
I really appreciate all the support you've given me!
@@BillTheSpill well deserved. Try to watch you on my work account and my baedenfield Google account. I was watching the Nerdist follow up to their timeline video, and realized there is still so much to talk about VB. Just a deep dive on the music references would be a series lol!
I’m glad a movie was made to wrap up the show. This was a good review.
We're cut from the same cloth. Wonderful review sir, and thank you.
Can’t believe I forgot, one last thing … GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!!!
Hoping they make another movie... please make more...
Sure, we could have gotten more of everything, but under the circumstances I'm satisfied with what we got. It wasn't the ending we deserved, but it was the ending we needed.
It's interesting that the movie retroactively recontextualizes the title of the show (phrased for no spoilers)
I want to know who caused the morpho’s demise plane to crash. David Bowie covered up who killed them
I was sadly not as satisfied as I thought I be. I really hope they would address season 7 time machine where Malcolm meets future Rusty. Seems like a idea that won't be finished 😕😔
For me it was satisfactory but I guess it's the venture bros nature of not always getting what you specifically want
I just feel like the name of the show is a little devoid of meaning when technically there are no venture bros they're all clones (asides from dermit) which brings in to question if they can even be called brothers especially if rusty and malcome aren't
So is this all so Venture Brothers pass the Bechdel test?
This should've been a full season
I have no real social media presence anymore, so I gotta post my review here. YOU'RE WELCOME, THE INTERNET.
Here's the thing: I didn't expect a massive ending; knowing the subversive nature of the venture brothers narrative, I expected an anticlimax parade and in some ways that's entirely what it was. The comedy of the venture brothers often comes from a massive anticlimax where the finale would be, and I don't know any other way that a movie could have worked. I do regret not giving the boys a mother-i think it invalidates the whole action man coma scene which I may be the one person who actually liked it. The force majeure / bobbi st. simone angle could have easily been a season's worth of b-plot and I think that's why her abandoning the plan came off as so randomly asspulled. Referencing the 'abandoned zoo' that Hank used to run away to, and then having him run away to it again, was my favorite deep cut of this particular story, but there were some others that really got me.
I'm one of the people who started watching the venture bros because I love watching Brock murder people, and though his characterization has changed to where he's not the twitchy eye swedish murder machine I initially fell in love with, I think he kind of got dumped on in this part of the story. He was barely there and he did almost nothing that mattered, and his big speech was another anticlimax in that the rest of the OSI laughed at him. (I did enjoy he and Red Death's posturing bits though.)
I really think that it could have been done better in a number of ways; even another 30 minute director's cut could fix some of the problems I had with it, but overall I am satisfied with the ending, I loooooved the resolution of the shared DNA between Rusty and Malcom, and really the story of Hank and Dean making up finally I would have loved regardless as the rift between them after Sirena kind of broke my heart. Derpy Daisy made me giggle and got the hardest laugh out of me, especially when tied up and then rising out of the chair to do an abortive kneel to the true sovreign of the guild and then admitting that he needs to shut the fuck up, that had me in stitches. Jefferson's battle with the blackulas gave us some delicious action and plot, the golem trick actually was a good one, and honestly I could do a whole series about a shared work/living space for twisted edgy loner superheroes. I'm happy with it, even if it isn't perfect-but I'm really just happy that the Venture Brothers was there for us in our moments when we felt like failures-because the overarching theme of the venture brothers is that failure isn't the end.
Thanks as always for your content on this channel and for giving me a home to talk about it. Go team venture!
Theory: Myra is donor for Dean and Debbie is donor for Hank
Would've been a bit nice if they either done the upper ideal runtime of 2 hours, or split it into 2 1:30-long movies. Still loved it.
Super cute to see your kid at the end. ❤
Favorite part was all the different hanks and their interactions
The brothers origins is both weird, and not surprising. Its like one of those "what did you expect" kind of things lol
I thought it was great! It wasn't going to wrap everything up. It did a lot! I would love it if they eventually do more, but if they never do this was a fitting end.
Loved the video, the only thing i disagree with is the notion that "if you expected it to tie up all the questions in a neat little bow youre watching the wrong show". Venture bros always answered questions while introducing more to be asked but it didnt just drop the ball entirely. It always felt like it was saving the best questions to keep people intrigued while they were having fun with their favorite characters, the mere fact it finally told us who the boys mother was should be proof. But you said it felt empty after the credits started rolling. I think thats why. The network gave them one final chance to answer our questions and end on a satisfying note, but i dont feel like they did. I dont think you should just wave it away and excuse it. Its poor writing and it feels like a bit of a spat in the face as a fan who was there for the first episodes airing. I wouldnt be so upset if it wasnt their final try. It ultimately just felt like another random episode, a fair episode, but nothing special. It feels hollow knowing they had this opportunity and squandered it. I think they pulled back and decided not to give us everything we wanted, not because "its that kind of show" but because they wanted to leverage this into a return of the show proper. Either that or they legitimately dont know how to make satisfying endings except by shoehorning more mysteries. They did the same thing the last two seasons, ending it with more questions and intigue. Sadly this special didnt make any huge waves, barely anyone online is talking about it, and i dont think they are getting any more chances so it feels pretty bad to be a fan of this great show that, at least to me, just didnt stick the landing. Loved it as just another random episode, hate it as a finale
I also have that empty feeling. I didn't dislike it but just felt like a lot of the conclusions and story beats didn't make a lot of sense. I didn't like Mantilla's stuff at all and the Venture building floating was a fun idea but would be fun for an episode of the show, not the plot of a movie
I just want more venture brothers.
Movies are not, and should not, be made for everybody as we all have different tastes. As for me, I have some thoughts:
- The first being that Dean was already an annoying bitch since he went emo with the haircut. He just seems unnecessarily mad all the time, for no reason even when Brock came back.
- Saying that "it's not that kind of movie" is honestly a cop out. They had intentions for scare bear for next season but the show got cancelled considering he drove the plot of the last season in some episodes knowing who he was is a big deal. When you finish a show you do have an obligation to answer questions. The ORB (if I recall correctly) was already answered and it was broken too so we can chock it up to that.
-Mantilla's storyline was pointless. Bobbi's story was good enough as it is they didn't need to add a brand new character for something that seemed really reasonable. Dr. Mrs. The Monarch's arc was done in my opinion last season they didn't need to waste our time with that pointless story and instead could have answered some questions. Instead we're stuck with that misandrist **** because (2023 wahmen).
-They turned Red Death into a joke he seemed like the other villains when he was made to be a big deal prior.
-Brick Frog's storyline went nowhere and honestly should have been more of a story that seemed interesting. OSI should have played a bigger role too.
- We don't need ALL the questions answered just the important ones. I get that it was a movie and to cram all of the series answers into it would have been challenging but there are ways around it, i.e. answer these questions on the show and as per the movie cram more time into it. It's not uncommon for movies to be 2hrs almost 3hrs long these days and that could have given them a bit more wiggle room.
-Instead we got a cock tease about Monarch and Venture. We didn't need an origin we already knew what Monarch's origin was and the baboon DNA was pointless. Yeah it explains his aggression but that didn't need an explanation. Some people have anger issues. He's human. If the baboon DNA gave him some kind of strength it'd be one thing but it does nothing except prevent hair loss which, given that the Monarch is RICH he could have solved that with hair plugs or have his wife concoct something for that.
There was also some bullshit reason about he hates Venture for sleeping with his girlfriend at the time. He said it was "one of a hundred reasons" he hates Venture. Ok. What's the MAIN reason better yet, give us a bigger reason or name a few it doesn't have to be all. Sleeping with his girlfriend is a fine reason to hate him but I feel like them not answering is a slap to the face. Leaving it up to your imagination was cool at one point but it feels like their saying "write the story for me."
The Monarch's hatred for Venture drives a lot of the plots for various episodes I would think, if any questions were going to be answered, it'd be that one it sounds like it'd be pretty fucking important, don't you think? Instead our time is wasted with other nonsense we didn't need.
- A great way to end it would have been focus on the Monarch and Venture instead of searching for Hank (which the boys story could have been a sidelined answer or a B storyline) and have the Guild disbanded for incompetency. I'm fine with the villains being around but perhaps a new better org could be created that fixes the guild's shortcomings and same for OSI (if you want).
It was an ok movie but it felt like another episode and all this time I'm just like...meh. Ok. The last line of the movie is 21 saying "Pwned' which is cringey but that's his character so I'll take it.
ye know I was angry, this was supposed to be season 8, there wasn't enough time
In case if you didnt liked venture brothers' movie:
1)Watch it again
2)Repeat st.1 until you're liking it
Pardon me for being salty, but a lot of this film feels kinda wrong, more than some: Debra's backstory exists only to oppose main moral of the picture; there's no hint how Debra's tools and comany was able to compete with Guild; Brock is just going "They are the best of the best" & do nothin whole picture, Dean being just NPC giving escort mission, uugh. This is half-4ssed film when you hear *beep* and see that "Elige tua" is gibberish from google translate. Venture was clever, it was a goddamn Rat-King of backstories and motivations after bit of kickstart in S1-2. And this is low level for them, I dare to say, they get from venture's level to marvel's level. I wonder, what would happen if they gave answers - in their own special way of course - to most anticipated questions and tied up all hanging ends, rather than introduce one-time "new threat level like nothing before" villain. The crew did best what they could but it aint a reason to close eyes on what is weak. Ill better go rewatch best of old seasons and jackoff on edgy 21st, thank you for the time
yeah gonna miss the show for sure hope we can get spinoffs of theme like i swear it can still work like a anthropology series
like super villeins in a bar telling story's or drunk spy legends tells
no you must answers every question who is Hawk and Dean's mother. who is the real heir to the Guild? Will Demit ever tell Hank and Dean that he is there bother? Why does the Monarch Hate Rusty?????
Half of these were answered by the movie tho
the appropriate of the opinion of the movie is 70% of the way from 'It ruled' too the last option.
Perfect ending to the video!
cute video end stinger to parallel baby Hank and Dean
✌️ team venture forever
great start great middle but i feel they trolled us at the end but overall I did enjoy myself
This doesn't sound like a story they wanted to tell. It sounds like they were shafted and given a movie after really really really trying hard to fight for it or obtained it via sympathy or whatever but only got rights for a movie and they had to scramble. If they had been given a green light for more seasons they could tell the story they wanted better.
I dont think they shouldve included Mantilla. It was pointless and she felt like a reason for things not a character
Offen works of fiction are bigger than the author's own view. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle hated Sherlock Holmes. He bad mouth the character and said he rejoiced at Holmes death. What was Doyle's real interest? Fairies. Yep, he believed in and studied fairies. After Doyle realized what a dumbass he was, he reclaimed Sherlock Holmes. That's like a parent who throws their nine-year-old out on the street because they hate them. After their child becomes rich and famous, they start bang on the door begging for money. I think Public and Hammer are genius, but they actually hate what is best about the Venture Bros. Well, Public does. The only character grows, the only character who see the world he is born into and reacts sanely is Dean. Both of the boys are deeply damaged by the life they were born into. Hank escapes into an ever-growing fantasy world which he never leaves. Dean is this jittery scared kid afraid of the world. Still, the entire series Dean fight to escape the cards he is dealt. The most telling episode of this is the Halloween special. The three brothers confront their past by going to the Potter home. All of them are afraid, but only Dean stands up faces the Venture past by entering the Potter home. Hank and Dermot stay in back and live a life eternal childhood. This is where Dean steps up and confronts the future. It's not an easy decision, and he is not met by success. Hank and Dermot never grow past that point. Hank is lost in fantasy world, while Dermot is the forever trailer park kid. The whole series Dean and his growth to be more than the cards life dealt him. The only other person who become more than his circumstance is henchman 21. I don't know if hapless henchmen's growth into a passive serial killer is all that inspiring. I haven't seen the movie year. I may never see the movie. Whatever is said, about the show, it reverts to season one. Dean is a sniveling coward, and we are all supposed to break into tear because Hank isn't given an enough love. This is more about Public's dealing with his own issues than then the show. I'll tell you this. In twenty years, Public will be less than a fart in the wind. Looking for relevance Public will be banging on the Venture's door. The door will open and he will say, "Remember me? I'm your good old dad. You don't want to leave me out in the cold, do you?" Public will be speaking to a ghost who says, "You could've done something at one time, but those days are dead and gone." Yeah, I'm not ever watching the movie.
A boys brigade prequel would be good
I watched this with my dad, which we loved, LOVED it. We were so confused by the post credits scene, but shocked at the same time. We were also shocked of how they pull the building down on the og site because HOW DID THEY FIT A WHOLE ROBOT IN A SMALL TALL BUILDING😭😭 10/10 movie.
Go team Venture
I actually disagree with you on the have to be a venture bros fan, I've never seen the series neither was I a fan but I enjoyed the movie,it was good and funny as hell...
