+GothaBillsAndDeath - Great continuity too. The Monarch's parents can be seen in the flashback opening of Spanikopita when Jonas and Team Venture fight Hubbard in Greece.
+GothaBillsAndDeath While we're on the topic of casually mentioning things, I like how the Monarch just outright told 21 he's been whacking off to hentai in the season finale. No explanation of the word, nothing like that. If nothing else, they sure know their audience.
@@sethleoric2598 Fun fact: Morpho are a genus of Butterfly, but Monarch butterflies are NOT part of that genus, they are part of the Danaus genus. I would like to think they did that on purpose, while you think being a butterfly nerd Monarch should know what one is, but because it technically doesn't have anything to do with his species of butterfly, it was a blind spot.
+B. Buster And what's more, it seems like it was teased in that one teaser for All This and Gargantua-2. Remember Watch and Ward's emergency transmission? The guy in the blue suit who looked oddly familiar?

Heh, if the series ever continued where he and Dr, Mrs the Monarch have a kid (even though they agreed not to have children.) but if they did he or she be third generation Blue Morpho or second generation Monarch.
@@SuperNormalMan Jonas ran the trampoline on Blue Morpho's wife... He turned him into a mindless robot and dumped him in the trash... He was forced to become a villain... He lost his wife, his son, his body, his mind, and his soul...Jonas got off easy.
@@Saintbow not really easy since he turned into a body less cyborg meant to charge a spaceship then a building for the past years no communication to anyone like a “you want to scream but you don’t have a mouth to yell” what a way to go
You gotta love how when 21 spells it out for him, he instinctively lashes out but after a little bit, he just apologizes, admitting that he's just taking it pretty hard. Goes to show how the Monarch is growing out of his cocoon.
The Blue Morpho's outfit looks awesome. It's got that Noir detective/The Question look that makes it look superheroic without being too outlandish or goofy. I must admit, the more the Monarch takes on his father's role, the more he seems suited for it.
It's ironic that the equivariant of the Green Hornet has to be The Blue Morpho. Butterflies are the number one prey for hornets to hunt. In fact, those hornets might as well be "Brock Samson" to a butterfly cacoon.
I just realized something. In the second part of 'Family that Slays together', when 21 and 24 are listening to the fight between the OSI and the Monarch, they hear someone screaming and comment about how whoever is screaming is definitely on fire. Then, when Kano kicks the henchman into the fireplace, the same scream sound plays. you gotta appreciate the attention to detail
It tells you a lot when Jonas first response after being rescued was attacking his savior. It’s just no one sees it since the history remembers him as the greatest hero of his time.
Well, considering that the Blue Morpho is a homage to the Green Hornet and GH's cover was he's criminal mastermind muscling in on other criminal's turf....BM might also use that as a cover for his heroics. Heck, even Scaramantula thought BM is muscling in his territory.
It's literally in the comic book 21 shows the Monarch. The Blue Morpho even states in his adultery video that his reputation is that of a villain and a vigilante... which means it makes sense that Jonas assumes the Blue Morpho is planning something villainous. Jonas is a max-level d-bag but in this instance it's justifiable.
I would love an episode set in a parallel reality where Monarch was always a heroic vigilante and Rusty became a villain like Killinger said he was destined too.
It's weird that in the Venture Bro's universe, Comic book artists draw comics based on what are real people in their world.....while still drawing fake heroes like Spiderman and Batman.
Something interesting I found was how in he comic version, Jonas is wearing ripped up Safari clothing, opposed to the neat and cleanly kept tuxedo. Maybe he got the comic dramatised to make him look cooler.
+Thepnastyone - 21 is much more assertive now. In the past he would have *never* called his boss a dingus or said his plans were stupid like he does now. He's more like a partner than a henchman.
Well, they sort of has to at this point. Gary's the only henchman that Monarch has left and with his wife being preoccupied with her work in the new Guild, one could say they went from a boss-employee relationship to being actual best friends.
There's so many little subtle details as to why the contrast of Blue Morpho and The Monarch work, beyond them just being a superhero and supervillain respectively. Color design, blue and orange are contrasting colors, which works both as a visual as well as thematically appropriate choice. Another is Monarch not knowing what a Morpho is, even though both are butterflies, Morpho is a completely independent genus of butterfly, Monarch Butterflies are part of the Danaus genus, so him not knowing what a Morpho is is actually on-brand (not to mention, let's face it, Monarch doesn't actually know that much about butterflies, he didn't know they only lived for a year when he went to Mexico, and he didn't know they don't sting).
I just realized, one part of Green Hornet (who Blue Morpho is parodying) 's schtick is he's pretending to be a mysterious mob enforcer as a cover to him being a vigilante, so that might explain why Jonas doesn't trust him at first and Scaramantula says "muscle in on my racket"
@@eldersprig It's actually more than that. They made it as a thinly veiled parody called Action Johnny... then they found out that Cartoon Network owned it, and went wholesale, saying he is a grown up Johnny Quest. Then the network told them to keep it vague so that they didn't make "substances abuser" part of Johnny Quest's canon.
+Henchman Twenty1 That's probably exactly what will turn out to be the case. Jonas was a major scumbag. Speaking of, Monarch killing villains to clear his way to arching Rusty is pretty scummy too. Like father, like son.
It's how secret identities work. They're brutally obvious but people can't see them. "Lance Hunt wears glasses, Captain Amazing doesn't wear glasses" "He takes them off when he transforms" "That doesn't make any sense, he wouldn't be able to see!"
I forget how low-key some deaths scenes are in this show. Blue Morpho’s henchman just straight up CRACKED another henchman’s skull in the palm of his left hand!!!!
If you look closely you’ll see the henchmen are carrying Thompson submachine guns, an appropriate model for the occupation of Italy in the 1950s. The care the writers take in the historical time is impressive.
I love that he calls the Crime Computer corny and then a few episodes later asks why 21 isn’t using “the big computer.“ Not so corny after all, I guess.
We finally got to see the result of Scaramantula's machine that spins steel like spider silk. (Mentioned in season 3). This show's continuity is terrific.
This is exactly it. He hated not being the center of attention and he hated that he lost. It actually makes me wonder if this wasn't why he targeted the Blue Morpho as his stooge in the first place.
+rockomundo At the very least, I hope he keeps some of his dad's old gear and incorporates it into a new Monarch costume. Seriously, the Monarch's dad is my new favorite character.
+Indego84 it makes complete sense. remember how Dr. Killinger tries to convince Rusty to be a supervillain? And then, Killinger doesn't let Monarch be on the Guild Council? it's totally trying to set up the role reversal
I've been wondering something for a while. Since there is the theory that Rusty and the Monarch are related, what if Rusty is a clone of the Monarch. They have similar appearances, but Monarch, being the original, is taller and more capable.
Weird how in the actual situation, Jonas is wearing a suit while the comic depicts him in a ripped adventure get-up. Possible mis-comunication between animation departments? Probably In-universe explanation: The comics preferred to depict Jonas as ONLY an adventure. Not as scientist, not as a socialite, none but the globe-trotting adventurer
Also it is clearly a good parody of The Green Hornet... Am I the only one who thinks he's also very similar to Steve Ditko's The Question in at least the visual appearance?
It feels confusing to me that those guys where out on real adventures but at the same time they talk about it like those adventures where in comics and in a TV show.

0:43
Scp sounds
So much for Every Venture Bros. episode running forever and ever
1:54-1:58
"Dude, millionaire playboy is like the number one superhero alter ego."
I've been wondering something for a while. Since there is the theory that Rusty and the Monarch are related, what if Rusty is a clone of the Monarch. They have similar appearances, but Monarch, being the original, is taller and more capable.
It's not a theory they literally said it in the show. Jonas cucked Blue Morpho
Weird how in the actual situation, Jonas is wearing a suit while the comic depicts him in a ripped adventure get-up.
Possible mis-comunication between animation departments? Probably
In-universe explanation: The comics preferred to depict Jonas as ONLY an adventure. Not as scientist, not as a socialite, none but the globe-trotting adventurer
That Jack Kirby reference though
The scp 096 scream plays. I always thought they made the scream themselves
Also it is clearly a good parody of The Green Hornet... Am I the only one who thinks he's also very similar to Steve Ditko's The Question in at least the visual appearance?
His death causing a rift in Team Venture also reminds me of the second Blue Beetle.
I love this season so far
It feels confusing to me that those guys where out on real adventures but at the same time they talk about it like those adventures where in comics and in a TV show.
that robo spider is not a tarantula , its mandibles are not pointing down. Great show I love the humor and the nice animation
0:42 is that the scp sound lmfao
His tranquilizer darts look just like the Monarch's. Only blue.
0:47- given what happens later to said "Asian Dynamite"'s friend and partner, you're gonna wish you hadn't suggested that, Rodney
Well this week's episode explains how they got a car to a island.
“Blue Morpho? What is this a crossover episode?!”
Is it just me or did one of the henchmen scream just like SCP-096 for a second there?
Man this is such a cool show. Too bad Mrs monarch wont really be happy about this morpho stuff.
When you realize that the original blue morpho sounded more like Rusty than jonas.
