Spork3245 Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 24 minutes ago, ort said: Sounds like this isn't really confirmed. There is a screen shot from some site that scrapes data from IMDB that says it is leaving on the 12th... but no where else does it say this and Jackson Public himself seems confused. Also, the screenshot says it's leaving HBO Max, which is no longer what the service is even called. I guess we'll find out, because there is no way I'm going to be able to watch all the seasons before the 12th. I mean, I could, but I don't typically watch TV like that... it would be like 3-4 episodes a night. I like to take things a little slower than that. If it goes away I don't know what I will do. I guess I will re-hookup my TiVo that has all of season 7 on it and just watch that before the movie... That's the only season I have not watched at all... but I also barely remember what happened in season 6... bleh... It's on Hulu fwiw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Apparently it is no longer on Hulu… but it really seems that it is not leaving HBO max, the only notice that it is is from this 3rd party site… no other evidence or confirmation anywhere else… Would be nice to know for sure… I have the first 4 or 5 seasons on DVD… uh… somewhere… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 This was really fun. It’s still more up its own ass than the first few seasons but it’s less so than the last three or so, almost always for the better. It edges on being overly self referential but never really crosses the line. It closes some doors, leaves a few open if they ever decide to come back. I guess if I had a criticism it’s that nobody really moves forward or back in this. It’s a very literal, “what happened to these people immediately following the end of season 7,” and doesn’t really ever feel like a series finale. There are a bunch of “reveals” but they’re all obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention and they don’t have time to land or seem to move the needle much. But hey it’s more than I thought we’d get and it’s been 20+ years to get here, so no real complaints. If this is all we get it’s a fine place to stop.

Spoiler There were zero theories that the Monarch and Rusty were the same person with Malcom essentially being an “evil” clone. It was implied that they were brothers, whether through Jonas banging The Blue Morpho’s wife (“I’m quite potent “) or just artificially inseminating her and/or growing Malcom in a test tube but including his own DNA with hers rather than Morpho’s. If you came to the conclusion that they were clones of one another you’re literally the only one on all of the internet so I highly doubt you did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fandom outside of this forum, so I’m completely disconnected from the theories. I dunno. After Ben suggested Rusty was a clone and the most of season 7 going over how similar Rusty and The Monarch are, including Dr. Mrs. The Monarch not being able to tell them apart while looking at them at least a couple times, it seemed like a good possibility?

ort Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hmmm, I thought it was supposed to ship a while ago... mine hasn't even shipped and my current arrival window is August 9th - September 8th. It's actually just fine, because that's most likely about how long I will take to go back through the show... but still, I want my stuffs! I think this is the first piece of physical media I've bought in at least 5 years.

Same thing happened with Target orders, I'm surprised it happened at Amazon too, though... BUT...

Spork3245 Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Also, there's been a huge uptick in Venture Bros related YouTube content. Hopes aren't high, but I'd love a second movie or a limited-run with like 3-5 extra episodes to wrap up the remaining "mysteries". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I say this having not seen season 7 or the movie... but I feel like VB has run its course... all things have to end, why not go out on topish? (I kinda think the show peaked a while ago) I wonder what they would do next... I wonder if they will continue working as a pair or go off and do other things? I started watching when Season One was in it's first run... I remember my first reaction to the show was that it was a lame Tick ripoff... then I found out it was created by Ben Edlund and The Tick Animated Series writers (Publick) and I gave it another chance and it eventually clicked and I was all in. I am also a huge Tick fan... mostly the original run of Edlund comics and the animated show. I was collecting the original run of comics in the 80s/90s when they came out too... I am old.

(I kinda think the show peaked a while ago) S7 was the best season, though. As I noted, the movie didn't answer everything (they only had so much time so they just did the main questions and likely adapted their S8 script into a movie). Having just rewatched the entire series not too long ago (like 3 weeks-ish), it definitely felt like it had 2-ish more seasons in it.

ort Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Well, it took forever, but I finally finished this up. I thought the movie wrapped things up about as well as you can expect something like this to get wrapped up. I feel like a lot of characters fell to the wayside at the end, but I’m not sure if they could really have had a satisfying ending for everyone. It would have been like the ending of Return of the King times 10… Anyway, I’m not sure I really have that much to say… great show, watched it for 20 years, glad to see it go out while still being high quality. The last few seasons were great. I remember not really feeling em when I first watched, it the second time it all flowed better. I feel like the show peaked around season 2-3, fell off a bit in 4-5 and rebounded again with 6 and 7. The movie felt more like the season 7 finale than some sort of epic standalone event… and that’s just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
