In all honesty is it really that much of a tragedy?

The Blue Morpho arc and the confirmation of Rusty and Malcolm as brothers seems like a fair ending point and it seems like they were running low on ideas. Most of Season 7 was spent on the relationship between that random OSI girl and the Guild Cyborg, who had barely any tangential relation to the main cast. If they manage to get the finale that they're discussing with [as], I don't think it'd be too much a bad thing.

I'd much rather see the idea of Monarch and Rusty being related in any capacity past a gotcha at the very end. One more season. Also I liked Agent Manly and Brainome Stranger.

The worst part was that ALL characters started talking and thinking like Doc Hammer.
And no threat was serious anymore. Everything was a joke. All villains were reasonable and mild. They weren't even impolite anymore.
What was the last villain who genuinely tried to kill someone? Henchman zero?

Monarch
Red Death
Wide Wale
Harangatan
That dude who ate butts

>Not impolite
Andy Warhol is peak impolite.

I'm not going to pretend the last few seasons were as entertaining as the first ones, but there really were too many loose ends left. ONE more season would have wrapped it up nicely, two decades of venture bros..

At some point they got a little too obsessed with the Guild as an organization. More and more it became, "guild bylaws this" and "guild rank" that. On the one hand, it fits the idea that supervillainy had become bogged down in procedure and committee; they were a bunch of rich crazies LARPing instead of having true hatred. On the other hand, bureaucracy is fucking boring.

It did seem like they had no interest in solving loose ends. If we had ten more seasons they'd make sure to create twelve more unresolved plotlines, and maybe resolving two.

yeah, if they had ten more seasons. but if they had one more season, I think they'd wrap it up.
I don't think we'll ever find out about hank and dean's mom

Can we really say that after the season where
>Action Man finally had the stroke
>Dean and Hank both received significant character development and a major shift in their dynamic
>We learn what became of Jonas Venture AND the Monarch's parents, as well as received confirmation Rusty and Monarch are brothers
>Rusty finally undeniably did something superior to his father, with nothing to undercut it

No. at 7 seasons they had ample opportunity to go for "clean endings" already, but they did not and only now after the fact do the creators claim to want one.

Furthermore, with Venture Brothers being about failings and failures it makes perfect sense that it just ends abruptly and fails to have a proper ending rather then have a clean one.

>with Venture Brothers being about failings and failures
Retard alert

This, and really it wasn't as satisfying an end as something like All this and Gargantua-2 or Operation PROM. I can take loose ends if the ending feels just right. But the last episode both leads on the Boy's mother and Rusty/Monarch's relationship and a goofy stage play while Brock massacres mooks and Hank in coma town. Even if they were fun.

oh user
failings is a word. it has a separate meaning from failures.

>two decades of venture bros.
It's been that long?

I mean Doc Hammer and Publick have said they abandoned that notion for the show from a very early point.

Which is a good thing since it gets boring and predictable if that is all that happens, but that doesn't exactly change what the foundational theme is/was either.

Yes because we don’t get to see the Hank and Dean, Kane and Abel arch relationship. I wanted to see Ha k have Venchmen.

I have a feeling we're set up to see Hank or Dean make the same mistakes Rusty and Jonas did, if inadvertently. The other brother seems on route to defy it, somehow.
After last season, not sure who is who anymore

well no, but it WOULD have been.

well the show remained solidly all about failure for many seasons, even if they did start succeeding a LITTLE later on...

that was part of the joke they were ripping on the artsy fartsy new york scene.

I think the boys can break free if only because it's the best situation.
Jonas got into Rusty's head because he was the hottest shit ever. Rusty has never been anything but miserable and a failure as a SCIENTIST in front of his boys. They don't see some legacy to uphold or ideal to achieve. They just see their sad dad trying to be their grandpa.

>A little
I mean Brock found new vigor in the spy game after becoming disillusioned and became top shit at OSI under Hunter.
Monarch and Dr. Mrs got married and have moved up in the Guild twice over.
Rusty fell into the good fortune of his brother's company and is trying to make the best of it.
It's not really about failure anymore.
It's been moving away from that failure bit since atleast Season 2.

All it needs is a single feature film to wrap it up.

"LORE" fags killed this show.

I feel like it took a lot longer than that, more like season 4 for it to even START, and it was still pretty focused on rusty and 21's failures
the key is that the failures usually involved working TOWARD something, even from the beginning, and I like that. Currently rewatching and I found Brock's arc even more compelling than the first time. there are a lot of subtle little things, like the fact that he's living in a shitty little rec room and he hasn't redecorated it in 19 years. When they all came bursting in after digging around for the ORB, showing their utter lack of respect for him in several ways at once since he told them not to dig in there and that he had fucking government orders about it.

You're not wrong. That could work out just fine. The seasons have basically become 160 minute movies anyway.

They were referencing Monstroso and Hatred all the way back in Season 1, it was always a lore show.

although i have to say, the offhand references were a lot funnier before they were real people. just hearing someone drop a name like "manta claws" or.. hell, when monarch seemingly improvised 'manotaur' and then it turned out that was a real guy, i mean that was amazing, but it was funnier when I thought he made it up

RIP Kino you will be missed.
Can't wait for whatever else AS shits out.

It'll die soon enough. Moving everything to Burbank will kill it.

I'd love one more season and a movie/special.

I know they are in the talks to do one more special possibly, but seems a waste to cram all of S8 into a single special.
