@Jon Doe "Oh thank God it's you" is not a reaction of disappointment in finding out your enemy isn't capable of phasing through matter AND able to empty a clip from their chest without moving. That's relief.
The investors are so effectively intimidating because while there is magic and other associated mystical shenanigans going on in the Venture Bros universe, they all adhere to certain laws and limitations. Like Orpheus said once, nobody can even handle the denizens of the underworld. But the Investors don't play the same game. They do what they want, without restriction, without consequence. Unlike Orpheus who simply pretended he was snakes, or conjured fake illusions, the Investors can choose who they appear to, can ignore any material object. In a world full of restrictions and regulations, they are the only free factor, and that makes them a threat to anyone.

I like the dichotomy between killinger and the investors. The investors are greedy capitalism and killinger is altruistic capitalism. Killinger elevates his clients because he believes that by helping others prosper, he himself will profit. The investors seek profit at all costs. They will protect their investment without care for whom it harms or what it takes to do so. At least that's how my currently drunk mind sees it. But then again it is just an adult cartoon so....perhaps I'm reading into it too much.
I quite like how it's even lined up with the names, if the investors are Lips (the lesser god of southwest winds known as a destroyer of ships), Skiron (the lesser god of northwest winds known for bringing blistering heat and burning lightning storms), and Caecius (the lesser god of northeast winds known for bringing violent storms and raining hail down on mortals) that makes Killinger Apeliotes the lesser god of southeast winds known for bringing gentle rain to nourish mortals' crops the one of the four that is seen as almost only helpful to mortals.
The implications. That jj was desperate enough to listen to the investors to make a deal. To “ cure his cancer” when he doesn’t belive in hocus pocus. It was rusty being there. Just being there to give him the support their father Jonas never gave him. That saved jj soul. As shitty as rusty is he still showed jj compasion and understanding. Despite his initial attemp to kill him.
JJ had developed nanobots that would have theoretically cured his cancer ... but its implied his cancer has spread so far throughout his body that even the nanobots would have failed to save him.
I thought the implication was that JJ dealt with the investors to make Venture Techno Industries successful, and he got cancer as a result of dealing with them since getting fatal health issues seems to be a common result of dealing with them.
@@ReneeMcNeely The health issues seem if anything to be where the Investors come in knowing thats when people are most vulnerable to make a deal with them, King Gorilla made a deal and probably signed over his heart in exchange when his time comes, Monstroso signed it to get a new heart/someone that implants it and JJ knowing his cancer likely signed a deal with them to get Gargantua 2 done before his death.
2:39 I never put it together that the investors were the vampire women in that scene. Is there something that gives it away aside from the way they enter?
Ehhhhh, I don't know I think it's implied more that they were hidung under the sheets, but NGL it could be...who knows how the investors get their kicks!
@@dontemorgan1517 Considering how mystical Killinger and the Investors are it wouldn't be difficult to write them back into the story (if they ever do another season). Just make sure the story acknowledges Killinger won and the Investors have to pay a price to gain new bodies. And if Killinger shows up they just fold and do anything he tells them to.
I think it fits, with the show's whole subversion of the genre. It'd suck to have them be some crazy, removed from reality threat. Venture Bros is at its best when playing with the implications of dysfunctional adult children playing dress up with death lasers. The show's best stories have their "epic" moments offscreen- like seeing Jonas die vs hearing it from the (obviously traumatized and crazy) Red Death. Or Brock realizing the Pyramid Wars were fake, undermining his whole career.
I became slightly less terrified of the investors once i realized they were basically just ghost vampires, but the scene with monstroso and king gorilla is still chilling
Oh and I think it was made in like a year or two so they probably sped up its construction by some means I mean look at the size of that thing the thing should've taken atleast a decade to build maybe a little less cause super science but unlikely
I think they deliberately left that open. JJ disappeared without a trace at the end of the episode. He is intelligent enough to know how evil these beings are. I hope they have a callback in mind for this if we ever see the series again. IF the Investors did do something for JJ, now that they're all dead, JJ won't have to worry about them exacting a payment from him. That is, if he's still alive....
I never even put it together that the "vampire chicks" were the Investors. I swear no matter how many times I rewatch this show something always goes over my head. 😅
@@4everhungerybuck917 "he had dr in his name that’s a title" Thanks, Captain Obvious. He meant Killinger did not call himself one of the investors, not that he had no 'title' at all.
I still don't understand what their motives and goal where, why was King Gorilla mad at them, what was The Sovereign trying to get by helping them and also Phantom Limb, why was Killinger helping villains and why did he want to get Mayra back into the boys lifes (maybe that one was to _develop_ the villainy in one of the boys [Dean] since he also wanted Rusty to become a villain).
The Investors (at least in my opinion) and like living Monkey's Paws. King Gorilla likely wanted to get out of jail, so The Investors gave him lung cancer, thusly freeing him. Similarly, The Sovereign wanted to be.. well, The Sovereign of the Guild, and when the Investors finally came to collect couldn't take the pressure and escaped, if Killinger hadn't slain them, likely would've eventually gotten caught. However, I don't know what he was on with trying to get Mayra back with Doc. Maybe it's just an effect of early show jitters and not having a clear idea yet
Killinger might have thought getting them back together would help them. Or it was the Oni's request. Killinger did give it a speech about love and compromise. He also officiated the wedding for The Monarch and Dr Mrs The Monarch. I think for all his powers, he's just got a soft spot for "love". Given that it "saved" JJs soul, it might be the one thing stronger than him.
I was thinking more along the lines of the Maiar from LotR. The investors being like Saruman, who uses his godlike powers for personal gain, while Killinger is more like Gandalf. Who sort of just nudges things in the right directly without forcing it to be. Even his big plan to save the Guild and take out the Investors. He didn't force it to be, he gently guided everyone onto their path to get to the outcome he wanted.
wait wait wait WAIT WAIT. You mean to tell me The Investors where the “Vampire Prostitutes” the ENTIRE TIME?! I thought they where just…Y’know…Regular Prostitutes. This is the first I’m just learning of this…
The Investors truly are the pure evil of the series, and unlike their brother, Dr. Killinger, who is a lawful version of evil, they are sadism and death incarnate!
Tbh these guys would make good star wars villians. Especially now but tbh I don't trust disney to do them justice. Just the idea of buisnessmen sith though, it just works.
@@4everhungerybuck917 According to the wiki "Lips, Caecius, and Skiron, which are references to the Greco-Roman gods of the southwest, northeast, and northwest winds, respectively. This also implies that Killinger is Apeliotes or Eurus, the god of the southeast wind."
So I don't think they're vampires they're just killingers species expect the thing is how we know they're not vamps is mostly just the investors look so confused when billy said make me a vampire but they're God's like killinger or just you know an interdimensional being with powers that to us seem similar to a god I think killinger is just much more powerful than the investors and is more on the scale of the master being that he commands multiple demons helps mortals literally his magic murder bag can basically do anything and hold anything so these investors may be vampires demons or just as Brock says magic guys but that's unlikely so its definitely either demon or some sort of god-like magical being

Monstroso didn't fear them, he mistakenly saw himself as their equal. That's why he ended up dead.
Love the vampire callback with not going where they're uninvited
4:30 I love how he prances around the table like the girl from Sound of Music lol
I like the dichotomy between killinger and the investors. The investors are greedy capitalism and killinger is altruistic capitalism. Killinger elevates his clients because he believes that by helping others prosper, he himself will profit. The investors seek profit at all costs. They will protect their investment without care for whom it harms or what it takes to do so.
At least that's how my currently drunk mind sees it. But then again it is just an adult cartoon so....perhaps I'm reading into it too much.
Killinger is just straight up altruistic, he works Pro Bono, so basically a legendary creature.
Altruistic capitalism feels like a unicorn in our universe
Altruistic capitalism is an oxymoron
I quite like how it's even lined up with the names, if the investors are Lips (the lesser god of southwest winds known as a destroyer of ships), Skiron (the lesser god of northwest winds known for bringing blistering heat and burning lightning storms), and Caecius (the lesser god of northeast winds known for bringing violent storms and raining hail down on mortals) that makes Killinger Apeliotes the lesser god of southeast winds known for bringing gentle rain to nourish mortals' crops the one of the four that is seen as almost only helpful to mortals.
