The death and return of one of the weirdest, yet strangely likable, characters i've seen in a while The Venture Bros. belong to their respective owners
@Vincent Velasquez Who cares about the cheating when there's a FREAKING GUY IN A BLOOD STAINED BEAR-SUIT HOLDING A KITCHEN KNIFE STANDING AT THE DOOR!?!
@Vincent Velasquez I mean, she and Dean spend a lot more time together and I get the feeling she felt like she has more in common with Dean than Hank. Shit happens. She should have been forward about it but heck, Dean is something of an accidental ladykiller sometimes.
I love how the big bad mob boss that everyone is afraid of is desperate for his older brothers approval. The lamest character on the show commands the respect of one of the most feared
@@bushidotestu1997 he turns himself into a fish monster because he wanted to impress his brother after his brother called him an idiot for stealing the wrong kind of fish that he only stole to impress his brother. The more I think about it the more sad it is but now that they're together again maybe they'll both be good good guy team
When you work for a highly dangerous and violent mob boss I'm sure you learn to do first...think later no matter how strange the bosses orders may be lol.
hmm sort of like the Evil Overlord List but for henchmen, that...could be interesting, not sure if it's been done or not but cool idea ;). I mean think about all the tropes a henchmen deals with and how they can go about avoiding them.
I like to think they kept up the tradition. Also, how old is Serena(Sirena?) that the monarch killed dewgong early enough in her life for him to be irrelevant in wide wale's mind?
Rocko is a good #2. He catches on really quickly, is loyal, tough, and adapts really well. It makes sense why Wide Whale is a level 10 now, he and Rocko went through the same initiation as The Monarch and 21 do in the season finale. They must've passed the same test with flying colors.
@@MrGemHunter At first I hated Rocko then I realized he's the peak henchmen of the cityscape. He's there to teach you what 21 COULD achieve and later does.
"I have an uncle?!" "I thought you was dead!" ... she's like eighteen or nineteen. You've only thought he was dead for like a year or so at this point.
And don't forget the mutation happened before she was born, so after they went Seperate ways because of chesters wrecklessness that his brother and him went Seperate ways and hadn't been in direct contact since except for the mother keeping them in touch through emails, beyond that idk how much chester told his family of his fault
@@personmcpersonstein3571 there isn’t a defined timeline for the brothers mutation (other than the order of who mutated first) and c’mon, Wale’s not gonna mutate his daughter the same way he did to himself. Nope, that shits genetic. Plus I doubt he’d even keep that science stuff up after his fallout with his brother (completely from a point of ignorance of the medium) it’s just not his style.
To be fair, true professionals like Red Death do this on a regular basis. It wears on them, but fact is they have a hard worker's persona that has to be shown before the friendly one. This is why after work you usually see them drunk or go straight to bed after the day ends, sometimes trying to be a loving parent during it all. They don't want their friends and families to see how dangerous, yet efficient Mr. Smith can be in the work world.
Afqwa Quite a lot including his worst enemy's family. Red Death isn't a very good example due to his warped ethics, but his message rings true. Fact is many head honchos rely on the little dude's sweat like Red Death relies on blood. It sates the cravings of the workforce while at the end, he gets to have nice things after all his sacrifices. Disgusting? Maybe, but it's how the business world works. Technically Red Death is like a CEO and Wide Wale is the president.
Man I'm hoping Presto Chango is still alive so he and red Death can team up in one episode... seriously wouldn't want to see the villain VA team of BTAS's Joker and STAS's Lex Luthor reuinte once more in a project? We got that briefly in Justice League but I think VB can give them some better dialogue banter to go back and forth on.
It's also super smart, considering that we forget about most of the side characters during the wait for new seasons, when they do bring them back it's like being introduced to them all over again.
@@Slicer89 not only that but reintroducing side characters that only had very few appearances in previous seasons and making them central to the main plot in current season through new characters that introduced in the same season and as well as other connections through powerful objects is a genius move
This was a genuinely and uncharacteristically nice moment in an otherwise cynical show. I really like Wide Whale in this episode -in a few short minutes he transforms from being a generic bad guy into an actual character.
Like when he got all self-conscious about his use of Italian because the Monarch and Rocko(his own man) made fun of him and others who go out of country and start acting like they are more cultured. That was a fun character bit
I think nihilistic would be the right word for it, but the actual "If life has no meaning, then we shall find our own" kind, not the Rick and Morty kind.
You know, this also explains qhy the monarch wasn't properly punished by cold blood killing a defenseless protagonist on day 1. It's one of the few times where the "Im not dead yet" trope is used properly
This was so sad and sweet. Wide Whale loves his brother and is so happy to see him alive and is heartbroken that Dugong would even think that he would ever hurt his brother.
Fun facts about cuttlefish: 1. They can camouflage themselves to ambush prey. 2. They use their skin color and texture, posture, and movement to communicate. 3. Smaller males will act like females in order to trick them so as to mate with the female they are guarding.
Knowing Chester he probably bought the biggest tank he could for them to honor his brother. That or he trained them to crave human flesh. One of the two.
When she shouted "I have an uncle?!" , then Dugong said "Chester!" And Chester said "I thought you were dead." I shouted "Again with the excuses Chester!"
I love how Dr. Dugong is taken aback but isn't really that afraid looking when he's shot. He looks concerned for The Monarch's mental health and his sudden outburst then actually dying. Because he's part starfish and he just regrows his head later on. Hell, he doesn't even react to the Monarch the next time he sees him, like this was just a convenient excuse to go off the grid. I bet the writers didn't even plan this, but they just follow their own continuity so well that it FEELS like it was planned. Brilliant.
I get Instagram links to cat clips almost every week and I don’t even use the stupid thing. It’s like a law of the universe or something that moms send at least one of their kid cat media.
1:45 "CHESTER!" I can relate to Dr. Dugong. As an uncle myself I'd be pissed and heartbroken if I found out one of my siblings never told their children about me.
Sadly that is the case for me, I’m an aunt, but my big sister went all weird and hyperconservative and pretty much ghosted me for being autistic and a member of the Alphabet Mafia. Those three kids have no idea I even exist.
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated The wording here leaves me to believe there's a lot more to this story than just "my sister went all weird" especially when kids are involved and you mention you're part of the sex weirdos group.
I'm sorry but is no one going to talk about the fact that wide whale was going to talk hank into killing the monarch then pin it on him so he can get rid of his daughter's boyfriend?? That's totally something a crime boss would do. It would have been two birds killed with one stone.
@Danite Ghost I dunno, his Henchman is swole while Wide himself is as bulky as Monstroso, all while having the hide of a whale. In short, he could prove a challenge. Only he and Red Death may mess Brock up.
@@TheBeastr Brock would kill white Whale first, then skin him, put him in an oven and roasting him, before serving him to his family for messing up Hank. Anybody ask's why? Because he loves Hank like a Father. A REAL FATHER. not like Rusty, but the same way Hunter and Brock had back at his trainingdays in the OSI. That and the fact the OSI would help him, since the Venture Family is thanks to there inheritince a Level 10 Protagonist or something - don't know if i spelled that right. But I'm certain Brock would get al the freedom he wants to make this particuliar omelett. :)
@@chaitubhai1449 Well yeah... That's to bad. Since i think will somehow snape and become the next Monarch or so to get Revenge on Dean and Serena. I don't know. I mena he is actually pretty good with Military-stuff. So maybe?
Wait a minute so does that mean his body is mostly a brain cell because I doubt humanoid even with starfish DNA would be able to regenerate unless most of the brain functions and memories would be stored somewhere else
Ehhh. He kinda asked for trouble. He’s a mutated doctor bent on curing disease with cuttlefish...was anybody really gunning to arch him or did he join the guild the play the game and get the fame and fortune to continue his work without his brothers help?
I think he made out pretty well. He's alive despite a brutal decapitation, he's doing work that he loves, and he finally got to meet his niece. His brother is a jackass, and he was in witness protection, but other than that he's doing pretty good.
This was probably one of the most heartwarming episodes I've ever seen in Venture Bros, too bad the following episode has one of the most heartbreaking...
It's easy to miss, but it's said out loud in the episode he appeared in and I'm pretty sure it was on his for the potential arches Monarch was considering before.
Duguong is family, .... old school considers family the most important thing, it's the entire reason they do what they do. That's what makes it all justified, otherwise it's just being a power crazed psychopath for no legitimate reason.
Which weirdly does not match up with the fact that Sirena had no idea she even had an uncle ... why would Wide Whale keep that from his daughter? Unless it was the whole “Hero/Villain” thing which could easily be explained as “your uncle is in a conflicting business so we don’t talk much”. Assuming Sirena is 17-18 and had never heard of Douglas before now this is just a really weird plothole considering Wide Whale was going to kill Monarch for ‘killing’ Douglas 🤔🤔🤔
Man the tension between the two brothers is like that of a son trying to get their fathers love and approval because he went with a different life and career choice
What always grabs me in this is just how Dugong just seems overall very low key annoyed with the situation. Something about the mild outrage given how serious the situation was moments before just seems comedically perfect
I initially thought "I thought you were dead" was a good point, but then I remembered that happened relatively recently and Serina is like 20. So he didn't mention his brother in 20 years.
I like how quickly Serena can go from angry to sweet and then back to angry. She shows the face that whatever individual she’s talking to deserves to see
Wide Whale's dense like a brick wall when it comes to his interpersonal relationships. He cares about them deeply, he's just really shit at expressing his caring in a good, normal and healthy way like normal people do. Instead of doing the normal thing, he attempts to help his family through the lens of what is only conceivable through the lens of a crazy mob boss. His brother's a desperate super scientist without funding or support? Instead of giving him financial support, or attempting to learn some of it on his own or drum up public support for him; Wide Whale instead steals the desiccated corpse of a whale in a heist and presents it to him. He gets lectured for doing it? Instead of asking how he'd be able to support him properly, his way of atoning is to submit himself to a crazy comic-book experiment without his brother's knowing or supervision. He has a daughter who wants a normal life? Instead of sitting down and listening to her wants and needs and respecting her space, he sends Rocko and a team of thugs to stalk her, and also obsessively overprotects her by attempting to destroy her boyfriend. I'm perfectly willing to put down money that it's exactly the same deal with his relationship with his mother and Dr. Dugong. They expect him to be a decent brother/son, but he instead of replying properly to emails and sending them gifts or arranging get togethers, dinners and properly keeping in touch like a normal human being. He instead gets his boys to go and murder his mom's most hated high school rival, or something equally grandiosely retarded gesture that only a mob-boss could do. So Dr. Dugong probably spent most of his life mildly harassed by his brother attempting to do him favors. Heck he probably sent "his boys" to rough up the jocks that were inevitably bullying his gimp older brother.
I can't stop coming back to this video ... This guy had gentle cuttle fish .... They need to bring back the miracle and hope in humanity that is Dr.Douglas Ong ...
No, everything you saw was a fan animation, made by a team from Calarts. The writer from the show gave them a shout out on their twitter for capturing the spirit of the show so well in this short film. Season 7 was confirmed to be on indefinite hiatus. Truly sad to be a fan right now.
Yoit'syabro So I just watched all of Season 7 on Adult Swim's official website. It exists. and S1 - S6 are on a 24/7 loop on their site! marathon stream
That explanation is easy. After the brothers got mutated they isolated themselves, either Wide or Dugong went underground thus not knowing about each other, while Wide sent out his henchmen to stalk Dugong, Dugong was unaware of this. Pretty much Wide isolated Sirena from everyone I can even think of her mother, saying they died instead of "they went away".
