I cannot stop thinking about how perfectly slowly burned that was. It wasn't even some big bullshit revelation. They laid the foundation for it to make sense and there's no reason for their lives not to continue onward after the events of the movie.

Do you mean one of the two "revelations", or both?
I only really mean the one with the two guys in the pic. The history of the boys and their mother wasn't written poorly imo, but one of my friends criticized it for introducing a character we've never seen before. I thought a clever way to lampshade it was making her a literally invisible woman.
Somebody pulled up commentary of that episode where Henry Killenger wanted Doc to be a villain. And the whole blue paint sci-fi actress coming out and giving Rusty an autograph was supposed to preceed Jonas coming out with a boner. Both it was too complicated. Cool we got to see it in the movie.
No fricking wayyyyyy dog. No way. This was the best show.
>Bobbi being fricked was immediately followed by Jonas's dick
No fricking way that explains so much about Rusty's psychology that crazy
Ending was good but I feel like this new girl came from nowhere. I guess maybe it has been a whole since I watched the last season but didn't they kind of get rid of a whole rival villain group like they never even mattered, and then the movie is about a completely different one? Would have been better for it to lead into each other. What is the point of Peril Partnership being a non threat over a few episodes and then introducing ARCH?
Also I don't see why Bobbi couldn't tell the boys her daughter was their egg donor she would have been there when the deal went down.
I don't think anybody but Debbie and Rusty know about the eggs.
Yeah I guess that would make sense
Honestly what I found crazy is Rusty was competent enough to take Bobbi's power away and give it to her
Rusty is not a bad super scientist, he just excels at morally questionable/illegal aspects of it and is held back by mental hangups.
It isn't explicitly stated but its so heavily implied Debbie gave Rusty her eggs that if they walked it back in any future releases it would be a complete bullshit retcon. She traded them in return for getting Bobbi's invisibility powers + the upgrade Rusty did.
Wait they explained who the twins mom they finally is?
Yep. Daughter of former Guild leader Force Majeure and a reluctant OSI spy. Rusty got her eggs in exchange for making her invisible.
Because Debbie might not be their mother. They did this bait and switch with Myra already.
Chances are good the egg donor doesn't exist.
I think it would have been better if Myra was the gestational carrier. That way her delusion would make sense, since she would have been the one to actually have given birth, but she would still not be the biological mother, leaving the reveal we had still going.
I was confused by arch as an organization. I couldn't tell whether it was supposed to be the real deal or just smoke and mirrors. The movie implies the latter with her living in that crappy apartment, but somehow she was able to supply all this custom super villain equipment to the Monarch, Brick Frog, and others?
I want to go on a rant. The rant is about two words, Brick Frog.
The movie needs an example of a low level villain being upgraded by arch. They used Brick Frog, because of course. Brick Frog is that D-lister you just want more of.
To take it back to OG Marvel comics. Spider-Man arrest a group of animal theme villains, Stan Lee though the idea of a grown man in a frog costume was so funny he brought back a similar villain just called Frog man. It's funny that's the joke of a d-lister silly costume funny name.
Similar to Rbick Frog origins, from the artbook. A childhood experience of playing with theatre props, his cousin put a felt frog mask a foam brick and said brick frog. Doc said not sure why but thought it was the funniest thing in the world. My point comes from a place of it's just funny.
In the movie after the upgrade he robs a scientist making unbreakable building material (aka the ultimate brick) short simple and to the point, we never see or hear about Brick Frog after that point. It's love fore the aatire of comic that makes you want more Brick Frog compared to She-hulk Frog Man.
i love you. please keep ranting
I just want one last movie/episode on Jonas cause I really like the idea of him being afraid of death that he devoted his life to trying to find immortality.
>we will never know what OSI did with his still living body
Honestly, to me that felt like it was just an obvious setup for a standard Venture Brothers anticlimax. Like his head is just indefinitely sitting on a shelf in a storage room at OSI headquarters because no one has the time to deal with a prima donna head whose knowledge is decades out of date. An interesting curiosity they'd like to get around to studying one day, but other more important stuff keeps taking priority.
I like how the doctor at the end deliberately misinterpreted what he had engraved on his watch into some found family garbage and not Jonas literally creating his family
What's it actually say?
A line that made me chuckle was Rusty about the smart speaker
>My dad's brain not in this right?
Kek it seems like such a one off line but whenever he makes sarcastic lines like that it's a legit concern.
No he translated it right, he just interpreted "choose your family" as "choose (who is in) your family" instead of "choose (the genetically engineered babies for) your family"
Just to rub it in is the post-credits stinger of Rusty doing the same thing
It probably helped to be a comedy in which the main protagonist didn't really take much of it seriously. Some things were surprising, but nobody treated minor new information like it was the end of the world.
I really dislike Ben. Just a clunky exposition machine of a character who shouldn't exist.
I really like Ben, a drunk exposition machine who has been sidelined so hard since the 60s no one knows who he is. He's basically the Master but with less literal deus ex.
I like to think that he is Benton Quest, Action Jonhy's father.
He's ostensibly an Old Ben Kenobi reference but that fits too.
If the show went on, I'd bet we'd see Jonas' head tooling around at OSI with a little plate and those hover pods JJ created.
