A lot of this season feels like it’s cleaning up what season 4 left on the ground and setting up for season 6. The season puts Gary back with the monarch, gets rid of the moppits and most of the monarch’s militia, introduces many characters, wraps up plot points and characters like sphinx and monstroso. But that’s also I’d argue the season’s biggest fault. With so much going on, it pushes traditional storylines to the back burner. Also this marks the second season in a row with no central role for Jonas Jr and considering they offed him in the special, I think they could have at least had one episode with him in a major role this season.
He definitely needed something before being taken out. Him and Treister just pop in to pop out of the series. I love the show but it really did feel like season 5 has this sliding scale of quality. It has so much weight on its shoulders but I think it did the best with everything it had to do
@brendoncoyle5905 we'll get there eventually. Until them I'm still happy for every view and comment I get. I wouldn't have anyone without great viewers like you. We'll keep climbing no matter what!
I made a super cut of the Clean suit and Halloween Episodes, they don't really flow into each other other than a few references in Clean Suit. But the timeline lets my brain enjoy the season 5 opener that much more. I also watch Shallow Gravy after Operation Prom.
I genuinely believe season 5 was done a disservice with all the pacing issues. Having it all readily available now, really makes me appreciate everything that went into it and seeing gargantua 2 as the proper conclusion helps make it all feel more cohesive. Shallow Gravy is a great come down short after the intensity of Prom.
@@theanimeacademic6383 when I first watched I didn't know of the gargantua or the Halloween episodes so I was very lost when I went into season 6 and they are suddenly rich and rebooted. You need the Halloween episodes to set up the ending of season 5 and the boys discussion about being clones of themselves. And you need the gargantua episode to have a coherent transition to season 6 and give the clean suit episode meaning in retrospect. Otherwise it is just an extra long episode.
What color is your clean suit is always the episode I think of when I think of Venture Bros. Idk if it's one of the best, but I think the story it tells is very interesting and has stuck with me for a while.
I definitely don't think it's the best episode out there, that would probably be Operation Prom or something, but when it comes to the elements presented, even though it's the season 5 intro, it's actually a really good intro to the series if someone just catches it on Adult Swim some idle Sunday. It gives you the characters, drama, stakes, and it's all pretty wrapped up by the end of the episode making people interested in more. It's a very solid venture outing that makes the later seasons more accessible
@@theanimeacademic6383 That was definitely my experience watching it for the first time. It would be years later that I would watch the whole series, but it piqued my interest at the time.
@LuxuryPossum See and I think it's one of the best episodes to do that. I dunno there's a magic to how it's designed and the fact there's a special just smack dab in the middle of it that gives you more exposition, really introduces you to how intricately woven the story is which for the time was definitely rare
I have! Though if I do it, I do want to talk about Sealab 2021, and Frisky Dingo as well since they're the same creative team and you can see those prototype ideas in motion!
@@theanimeacademic6383 Not enough people talk about Frisky Dingo, and how a lot of the humor of that show informed the humor of Archer. I would love to see a video recapping the whole series, it's only two seasons, so it could probably be one video. You have to include the Xticles spin off that only got 2 episodes!
@LuxuryPossum Oh if I don't talk about the xticles spin-off why would I even talk about the show? But you're absolutely right! People don't realize how Adam Reed's writing and creative cadence evolved from Sealab, to frisky dingo, and then was refined into what people love about Archer today. Like it's such a deep yet fascinating rabbit hole to go down that just so happens to include a crab man calling Las Vegas lost wages. CODY!
Yayyy thanks for another great video Mr Academic! Ive subscribed and commented, just wondering does it also help your channel if i watch the ads a the way thru? Cuz ill do that for you and you only lol ❤
Hey hey that's what we love to see! Thank you so much for the subs and all the comments! As far as I know so long as the ad plays I get the revenue and then they have to figure out how to keep your attention for the duration of the ad. So if you get to the ad and skip it or watch with premium that's all the same! Honestly just telling your friends or sharing is the best way to help, but every view is appreciated and thank you so much for tuning in!
It really is! It's wild that they make the show so easily accessible no matter what season you're coming in, and then encouraged to go back and restart the journey to see how they got there. It really is a celebration of storytelling
Over time, it feels like he knows she's the reasonable one and even she's not afraid to snap on him if it'll make her husband happy. They prove humans are multilayered.

Hells ya two in one day
You know it! Can't slow down with the movie around the corner!
@@theanimeacademic6383 It’s channels like this that make me wish I had followers, because you’re channel deserves so much more attention.

Thank you so much for making news I really been enjoying them while we waited for the movie 2 come out
Of course! I'm so glad you like them! I'm going to try and have them all done before the Blu Ray releases!

@joshuahaynes1026 because if you just end with devils grip it almost feels like they're doing catchup to tell a vastly different story out of nowhere
2 in one day? Man is a machine!! Are you gonna be finished by the 25th when the blu-ray is out? 😢
That's the goal! I wanted to have it done by Friday so we may actually have it done when the digital copy becomes available!

the end part of the last one, the youngest when anther dies. how could gloss over that.
That's absolutely fair, I didn't touch on the ceremony much and I'll make sure to make an addendum for it!

Two in One Day??????
We gotta be ready when the movie drops!
Much needed recap before the movie. Awaiting part 6.
Should be out hopefully soon!
love the great homage to Harryhausen and the starting point with the true Venture Bros is very interesting
It really is! It's wild that they make the show so easily accessible no matter what season you're coming in, and then encouraged to go back and restart the journey to see how they got there. It really is a celebration of storytelling
I love every interaction between Rusty and Dr. Mrs. Girlfriend
Over time, it feels like he knows she's the reasonable one and even she's not afraid to snap on him if it'll make her husband happy. They prove humans are multilayered.
@@theanimeacademic6383 But his unearned confidence is just incredible. The way he acts like he already has her swooned is peak.
