@@Sirharryflash82 goddamn dude that was almost a year ago. Stop releasing your hold on anger towards others. Not very healthy..if you have uncontrollable anger it might stem from your youth so I recommend you receive therapy.
The problem here is that many of them were so traumatized by their horrible experiences as boy adventurers/detectives/sidekicks that they weren't able to mature mentally. They're still living in the shadows of their father figures which is why these grown men refer to themselves as *boys* . We've seen enough of Rusty and Johnny to understand their numerous issues. Wonderboy: He *LOVED* being Wonderboy and he clearly never considered becoming his own superhero/man or the possibility of being replaced. That's why being replaced led to his depression and abandonment issues. The Hale Brothers: Based on their behavior they grew up w/ an emotionally distant and demanding father who pushed his sons into being boy detectives. They desperately wanted their father's affection/appreciation, but never got any to the point they finally snapped and killed him. They suffer from crippling guilt about their unconfessed crime. RoBoy: He was created to fight giant robots/monsters, but that's all he knows. Unfortunately that's all he knows how to do so to him every giant robot is just another enemy for him to defeat. That kind of existence full of endless battles can lead to severely psychotic thoughts. "Sometimes I want to burn the whole world"=If the whole world burns there'll be no more giant robots for me to fight and I'll finally be free.
Does Lance really count? He seems too unrepentant and too much of an asshole to really need therapy, except for the snapping part; Dale counts, though.
@@fantasticmrmonk Exactly, the fact he bullies his own twin and often has to threaten him whenever he interrupts shows an unhealthy relationship between them.
I read something somewhere once that, when trauma happens to you at a young age, there's a part of you that's (mentally) still at that age. Not sure how true that is, but it sounds reasonable.
@@ianfinrir8724Very much so. I’m 27 and incredibly emotionally stunted from several childhood traumatic instances. You can look up “CPTSD” (childhood PTSD) and it’ll give you a few causes and symptoms (dysregulation, chronic depression, emotional immaturity/impulsivity, rage or depressive episodes, dissociation identity problems (me!!), and countless other elements.

History of Wonderboy (What we know so far): 1st Wonderboy: Grew up and became the second Captain Sunshine 2nd Wonderboy: The guy in this clip. No longer gets to use the name but do get to use the costume. 3rd Wonderboy: Was killed by The Monarch. 4th Wonderboy: Hank Venture. Was only Wonderboy for a day before quitting. 5th Wonderboy: Kid with black hair, seen in the episode 'Bot Seeks Bot'.
1:14 "Punch Buggy Depressing! Nobody wants to hear that crap, Dale!" & 1:38 - 1:47 "We hardly got d#*& because nothing we ever did was good enough for 'em" "He did leave us that nice car-" "It's totally f#*&ing cherry, but that is not the point, Dale, and don't interrupt me again, or I swear, I'll so f#*&ing sock you!" 😂😂😂Seth was funny in this role.
As soneone who's actually read the original Astro Boy manga, seeing Ro-Boy in therapy is interesting. For those who don't know, Astro was created by Dr. Tenma as a replacement for his son, who died in a tragic accident. Dr. Tenma was fine with this for a while, but soon went mad upon realizing that Astro was not a real boy and would never grow. As a result, he sold Astro to the circus and vanished into the shadows, becoming the primary antagonist of the series. While in the circus, Astro was discovered by the kind Dr. Ochanomizu, who bought him from the circus in order to give him a better life, which included giving him his trademark powers and the name Astro Boy. Now, for someone like Ro-Boy, who is meant to be a more grim and realistic take on Astro Boy, I can't even imagine what he went through.
Lance Hale nailed the "sweater over the shoulders" style that the menedez brothers used. It went out of style quickly after their trial. It already looked douchey wearing a sweater in a way that provided no warmth, only to flex that you can afford an expensive sweater. But when it became associated with those parent killers, that was the final straw that broke the cashmere goat's back.
I don't know what kind of investigator is or was in he and his brothers time, but anyone that could google that common name statistic on a goddamn Blackberry in barely two seconds has got to speak with the Guild about possibly supervillain powers.. like, interrupting conversations with impossibly swift and accurate facts. maybe go old school 60s with a name like, Interruptorr, or Interjectionator.
They’re based on not only the Hardy Boys but also the Menendez brothers. So yeah. Probably. It’s more a question of who pulled the trigger, but I think it’s Dale with Lance covering for him.
Funny how the boys are all traumatised in somewhat different ways, despite relatively similar lifestyles. The Hale brothers have obvious inferiority complexes and a dynamic that's kinda like Hank and Dean's but turned toxic.
Besides Seth Green another guest va here Action Johnny here is none other than Brandon Small. I assume the rest of them are VB regulars (eg Doc and Jackson)
Pretty much all the support group are a bit of roads-not-taken for the Ventures, what happens when you put kids in utterly inappropriate situations and danger for a lifestyle.

John actually more common than Muhammad if you count all it's translations and derivativatives.
Mohammad smith: *confused shrieking*
also Johnny said "its like the most common name" not "its the most common name" meaning he probably assumed it was probably top 3
Patton Oswalt?
the most awe-inspiring character in VB, a psychotherapist catering to superheroes who gets killed by a snake
Was ordered to attend by Johnny Law.
I don't know what kind of investigator is or was in he and his brothers time, but anyone that could google that common name statistic on a goddamn Blackberry in barely two seconds has got to speak with the Guild about possibly supervillain powers.. like, interrupting conversations with impossibly swift and accurate facts.
maybe go old school 60s with a name like, Interruptorr, or Interjectionator.
Their the Hardy Boys.
Ummhhh I'm getting a raging clue here....
I see:
.Robin
.The Hardy Boys
.Johnny Quest
.Astroboy
Am I missing anyone?
So you're telling me, that Wonder Boy's abandonment issues and Captain Sunshine's loneliness would have been solved by a simple talk? Huh....
I'd like to see Wonder Boy return but back in shape and is likely Nightwing
Needs to be the Sun-oriented opposite.

wait a minute, isn´t captain sunshine actually wonder boy? and he's buttler the original captain sunshine?
the current captain sunshine was the first wonderboy. now he assumed the title and that guy in the video was his first wonderboy.
Butler = original Cpt Sunshine
Current Cpt. Sunshine = first wonder boy
Fat wonderboy = current Cpt Sunshine's first wonderboy
It's nice being old enough to recognize these voice actors. You've got Patton Oswalt and Seth Green, aside from the regular voice actors.
And hodgeman
It really says something that Rusty is the least dysfunctional of the group despite having an abusive sociopath for a dad.
Nine years later and not a single comment on how the psychiatrists’ room is the exact one used in The Sopranos smh
It’s funny you say that because there’s a comment above you that mentions exactly that.

How much did this therapist make!?
Well considering his clients were
1) A pair of former boy detectives that claim they "hardly got dick" from their father's fortune
2) Jonny Quest, there on order of the judge (so the therapist is probably court-appointed)
3) Wonderboy, who is obviously not doing well financially or otherwise
4) Famous cheapskate Rusty Venture
5) A robotic child
Probably not much, cos none of those guys are going to be paying big bucks.

Are... are the Hale brothers a combination of the Hardy Boys and the Menendez brothers?
Yes, with a splash of an older Hank and Dean.

Yes.
Why do they always have em weird foreig naked carvings?
aw god this episode was so fuck up in the end
but funny as well
Who are those Hale brothers supposed to be based on?
CyberLance26 The Hardy Boys
The Hardy boys crossed with the Menendez brothers. Most Venture Brothers characters are combinations.
Thank you i have never seen the Hardy Boys or the Menendez brothers so i did not recognise the references.
The Hardy Boys, an old series of kid detective books, combined with the Menendez Brothers, two Hollywood kids that killed their parents.
KentAllard Thanks those are the only people these characters in the video are based on i did not know about.
Beep-Boop
...what was that
I turned off the...radio in my belt.
'Beep-Boop''
"What was that?"
