Yall have to admit. Despite Monarch plans being silly and completely disastrous/incompetent at times, he has the drive, will, hate and absolute confidence/take no shit attitude as a top tier villian.
@@SteefPip ...and with bod like hers, I'd totally overlook the fact that she sounds like a Jersey longshoreman. That and introduce a ball gag into the foreplay....😏
@Bruda3 he also wants to do it slowly as possible. See if he just killed him he'd be like Red Death. Just killing off others but his main enemy arch (captain cadium who he briefly mentions) was killed off long ago along with his entire family. In other words he just took it as a job. It's why he admires the Monarch because he saw that same hate and drive he had but also the genius of how slowly the Monarch wanted to arch Doc for the longest time. He even said the Monarch's whole Marionette setup was brilliant. Least that is how i saw it.
imo he only looks like a bad villain because he is up against Brock Samson, the fact he has even survived this long is impressive. The Blue Morpho arc showed he is actually one of the most dangerous villains in the Guild.

I swear The Mighty Monarch is the shit. He takes nerdiness and makes it so cool. He is a one off Villain with such an honest insecure heart. Well, that's how I see it.
The Monarch is the best, but I love that scene with Red Death. The moment he puts his hands on the monarchs shoulder, its like "Listen boy" completely dominates the encounter. Amazing show, the writing and animation is seriously rivals any other T.V series, the amount of detail, I just rewatch them and always find new little touches I love.
He's a master of improvisational villainy, fell down a comical tube that dressed him as a boy ward and turned it into a horrifying freudian psychoanalysis.
Monarch has to be my fave villian in TV history, He's funny, a menace and He takes no shit from anyone. I also loved how He became friends with 21 and 24. I would be a Monarch henchmen anyday
@@homeygfunkoffacherryfruitl4971That's standard supervillain behavior,but being willing to go out of your way to talk crap to Brock Samson and live, that's another thing.
I love how dysfunctional his system is and how when he’s having the call he asks who all is here and the dude just starts saying them by their numbers all out of order thinking he understood 😂
1:20 “Just pretend he’s Dr. Venture.” The moment he did, he still knew it wasn’t Rusty. But his hatred meant he could kill him and Rusty would still be alive, to truly be crushed by the deadly sting of the Monarch.
Aka the moment where the Misses accidentally signed his death warrant with Wide Whale years later. If it wasn't for the cuddlefish DNA and OSI protection, Malcolm would've been killed
THE DEADLY STING OF THE MONARCH!. They even named one of the most broken riffles in borderlands 3 after him, including that quote. My favorite quote is still "GIVE US THE CUTLEFISH!" though.
Did anybody else notice how Dean's face changed from a shaky lower lip he got when The Monafch was selling him for a smoke seconds later while in King Gorillas embrace he had more of a slight smile .
You know, thinking about this now, I can only say this We know that the Monarch is bellow Brock in terms of threat, but we surely know he is above the moppets in terms of threat considering how easily they back off when he is serious.
It goes to show how badass the Monarch really is when he goes to prison and completely takes the place over despite being locked up with a bunch of villains who could easily rip him to pieces with their bare hands.
@@olivelyons1664 are you sure all the evidence points to them. Dr girlfriend left the detonator in the throne room and the moppets were nowhere to be seen in the big battle between the monarch’s henchmen and the osi agents also they were checking off the names on 21’s “eye for an i” list plus they are the only ones who could’ve buckled 24’s seat belt without him noticing.
I just noticed that when he goes on with that monologue red death has a vein pop out on his forehead like he was about to give in and strangle the monarch
I love how he goes all pg with rusty but with any other hero he just straight up kills then Rusty : let’s shit in his pool Wonder boy : I kill the kid and send the corpse to him
*SPOILERS!* Oh, I get it now. The Monarch hates HIMSELF more than anyone else. when he sees Rusty, he is filled with hatred and wants nothing more than to kick his ass because he sees himself in his brother's face and it activates his self hatred. he is kicking his own ass by uising his brother as a proxy.
This is gonna be a long one so. TLDR The Monarchs second name means a lot more to his and his father's character than you may think. Fun fact the name Fitzcarraldo is from the movie whose theme is human conceit in the face of nature. The arrogance of man against nature is the opposite to the monarchs beliefs while also playing a huge role in his and his father's story. For the rest of this comment I'm going to be referring to the monarch as Malcom and Venturian as Don. Dons original story was that he was a boozed up socialite who fought crime by taking over the criminals organisation, a similar story to that of the green hornet whom he is based off. Already we have a Don challenging a much stronger foe than him, and becoming more arrogant in his actions. He proves successful as he's apparently good enough to challenge the likes of Scaramantula's organisation. It's during this moment he meets his downfall in jonas and because he felt so powerful he ended up agreeing to the orgy and thus began his life as Ventures Junkyard dog until a force of nature or man kills him and his wife. Don being made into a crime against nature by jonas and then by being brought back from the dead again by Dr Z. He is the embodied idea of man's hubris against the natural law. And then you have his son. Malcom on the other hand respects nature, particularly butterflies, so much he has a framed picture(?) of a butterfly he considers his mother on his desk. He lived among butterflies and based his entire villain persona on them as a tribute to the ones that basically saved his life. Malcoms also rejects the majority of authorities he's faced with beyond nature. This is most obvious when he takes up the mantle of the blue morpho rather than following guild protocol. As well as this he targets one of the most famous scientists in the world Rusty as his ultimate arch. Besides their past, Rusty as a scientist is constantly playing with the laws of nature more so than a lot of his peers (see Spanish fly mutant mantis hookers), making him the perfect arch for Malcom. This name alone adds so much layers to Malcoms character in my opinion.

I like how the monarch has more empathy than rusty even though he's the super villain
Also has more respect for women shockingly
That really depends. He kills henchmen indiscriminately. He definitely has more empathy towards his circle tho

I love how him “killing” Dugong was put after that to show what Red Death warned him about in action.
I like for most of the time the Moppets have been bullying him but when he finally stands up to them, their scared shitless
It was mostly because of his wife
Their scared shitless what? You gotta finish your sentences.
@Bacxaber
Probably because the Moppets KNOW the Monarch would go through killing them
The Monarch is the most cliche villain but somehow has enough depth to the character himself for it to never get stale. Art

The villain lifestyle keeps him in shape.
Can we talk about how the monarch watched hentai???
"I ve been mastrubating to hentai because i m lonely and unnable to connect to real people", yep, i can relate to that.
Why?
I wear a butterfly suit and hang out with nerds all day, OF COURSE I WATCH HENTAI!
Finally a villian I understand
Nah it was mothra r34

"bare me Theseus, for I am the mighty Minitoar!!" Had me dying🤣
minotaur*
The one thing I love was when he finally cut his beard and long ass eyebrows, plus he act more of a friend to 21 and less lilike a tyrant
This show is GOLD and deserves more seasons than the Simpsons
Kinda strange he was going to use a gun on Red Death, a regular old gun, nothing even butterfly themed
He was doing a secret assassination, not a villainous killing.
He still wanted Red death's death blamed on the Blue Morpho.
1:20 “Just pretend he’s Dr. Venture.”

But his hatred meant he could kill him and Rusty would still be alive, to truly be crushed by the deadly sting of the Monarch.

Since its revealed that him and rusty are brothers last episode of the last season
Coming here after the movie. Man... his hatred for Rusty is both ridiculous and makes SO much sense
11:22 i love that the Monarch didnt even plan for this part. Man just said "fuck it" and went for it.
5:00 the best moment ever.

The "Beaver Larva" bit is so fucking good
I can't believe they didn't get him to voice Skeletor. Would have been so much better than Mark Hamill's Joker voice

We need to get this show back on the air!!! It was too damn epic to get cancelled that quickly
I would of liked to of seen a future or spin off in the future where Lyla is just a powerful and terrifying villain as her dad
Literally the best villain of all time.
"Do I have to get a can of Raid and spray you?" Bwahahaha

Best of 24 .. second top henchman
As a new jersian i have never seen the pine barrens look so good 😅
I’m glad that Depeche Mode moment is in this video. I reference that way too many times than I should lol
Surprisingly more competent as a hero/anti hero
And rusty is so inmoral he may as well be a villian
I love how he goes all pg with rusty but with any other hero he just straight up kills then
Rusty : let’s shit in his pool
Wonder boy : I kill the kid and send the corpse to him
14:30 rip the lunchroom
The best skit with him off all time was the “married to a woman? But he’s in Depeche mooooooode!”
