    Guild Stranger S-464, clearly. He had the top of his skull taken off and replaced with a transparent dome with wires sticking out of it.

    The one about the fucking space hairdresser and the cowboy. He's got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin

    Probably the guy who raised the Monarch would be my guess

    Cheated on his wife, stole nuclear material, maybe caused the Movie Night Massacre (all of this is directly Jonas's fault of course), and that's what we know of him- the Blue Morpho was supposed to be an antihero before Team Venture ever even met him

    Plus the whole...Billie Jean King/Dr. Z thing. Pretty sure good guys don't do that

    It's not Doc, it's not Brock, and it certainly is not Jonas.

    Who is it? Who stands upon the mountain of these sad and depraved people as the most pure and unassailable?!

    it's you, the viewer, rhe most important part of the show

    Out of the good guys, yeah it's pretty hard to argue against Dr Orpheus and the Triumvirate as the most solidly decent people on the show

    Billy and Pete are on the good side of the line but a little too willing to dip their toes in the questionable, even if they're not full-on Venture grade

    Jefferson Twilight is a good friend who always tries his best even when he's in over his head.

    And his little running joke about how everyone in the world is made really uncomfortable by the fact that he only hunts "Blaculas," but that nobody feels they have ANY of the language/tools to unpack that in conversation with a black man, is so goddamn funny. The bit's almost twenty years old now and it still seems like you could slot it almost effortlessly into What We Do In the Shadows or something, such a perfect blend of complicated mythology and deeply human anxiety.

    Not one person mentions Ghost Robot the ghost who is trapped in a robot.

    Unlawful possession is a crime

    Man, I should rewatch Venture Bros. I'm struggling to remember the complete cast.

    There are worse things, I guess.

    Ah, so elegantly you have unpicked this ethical gordian knot

    Is Venture Bros streaming anywhere? I've only seen maybe the first three seasons.

  • HerculePyroHerculePyro Lord Mayor's CroupierRegistered User regular
    Honestly, probably Jefferson Twilight and the Alchemist.

    Maybe Li-Li the Panda, though they were trained to put people in a bag.

    I was going to say Jonas Jr because he really buys into the entire "good guy" ethos (even as he rejects the Protagonist mythos) right up until the end, sacrificing himself nobly to save his family and friends and even some strangers.

    But then I remembered he's basically also Tim Cook on the side and was a billionaire at the time of his death.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    The first thing Jonas Jr did after escaping from his brother's body was to try and kill his brother, so his record isn't spotless.

    Also he was shown to be a thoughtless jerk during the museum opening, harranging and mistreating those around him.

  • shoeboxjeddyshoeboxjeddy Registered User regular
    Jonas Jr. correctly intuits that he's smarter than his brother and his circle, and then that ego gets to him almost immediately and he buys into his own hype and becomes rather mean.

  • tynictynic PICNIC BADASS Registered User, ClubPA regular
    Jonas Jr is just Jonas Sr all over again, that's his whole deal.

    It's Venturestein

    I often wondered if he meant the same being as Orpheus' Master.

  • ElderlycrawfishElderlycrawfish Registered User regular
    Dr. Douglas Ong must rank up there pretty high.

    I didn't think about it at the time but it is incredibly funny how quickly Wide Wale goes from being one of the most intimidating villains in the Venture Bros universe to a screw-up little brother in like the blink of an eye.

    It's definitely Triana because she got out of there

    She didn't get out of there so much as join a different TV show that we don't get to see. (She's basically doing the Harry Potter wizard academy thing)

    Enrico Matassa, of course

    Charmed, maybe Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the new one)?

    Triana definitely has sacrificed at least a couple bright eyed virgins while drenched in their blood to seal a portal to Hell while telling her dad she was "vacationing in Paris" or something by now

  • TonkkaTonkka Some one in the club tonight Has stolen my ideas.Registered User regular
    There have been some very good responses and candidates, but I am still very much in the Triana camp.

    She is not implicit in any schemes, goes on a a date with Hank and Dean (which is incredibly generous), but she also is not a contributor to any negative shit overall.

    Hank is right out because he participates in capitalism.

    Isn't the Alchemist's ultimate goal just "the cure for AIDS"?

  • sarukunsarukun RIESLING OCEANRegistered User regular
    It is definitely Venturestein.

    Maybe there’s a case to be made for Dean as he continues to grow up.

    I've always wanted to watch Venture Bros. is there any way to do so in the UK? Can't even seem to find any non-American releases of the DVDs.

  • rhylithrhylith Death Rabbits HoustonRegistered User regular
    I’m an American so I got no clue what the deal is with y’all’s streaming services, but google tells me Channel 4 if that means anything?
