Venture Bros.

[willard]

I have some questions for the bigger Venture Brother fans, I have some big question on the episode (The Orb) now the the Orb in question in this last season wasin real right, the body guard in like the early 1900's broke it, and said I'm sorry sir I was order to kill you if you activated the orb, so when rusty found it he knew it wasn't real that just proves he is a real scientist, but that's not what I am talking about from what I said it means:

Number 1: (Landau) you know the big Asian fellow Dr Venture Senior bodyguard, kill Dr Venture Senior for no reason.

Number 2: Dr Venture Senior is still alive.

To be perfectly honest with you,

I still don't get the whole ORB story arc. If it was such a major aspect of the Ventureverse (it received prominent treatment in multiple episodes) then why did it ultimately amount to a hill of bullsh*t?

The fact that major VB proponents like Brock, the original Team Venture, The Guild, and several other main characters were dispatched to go on a wild goose chase really doesn't make any sense. So it wouldn't be surprising at all if they revisited that stuff in the next two seasons.

So to answer your post, IMHO it could be two things:

1. An unfinished story arc that surely will be resolved and completed

-or-

2. A flaccid and utterly ridiculous waste of time that went pretty much nowhere....

I know that I haven't shed any light on the things you want to know but I just want to let it be known that you aren't the only one who was perplexed by this. I guess, in the end, we're just going to have to wait and find out.....

As Jackson and Doc said on one of the commentaries (probably on the episode "The Revenge Society"), the ORB thing wasn't meant to be this all-encompassing, anime-like "collect all the shards" quest-type plot. It was just another way for them to highlight their show's themes of failure/unrealized potential and the way the past can haunt people in the present. The fact that the ORB is irrevocably broken fits in perfectly with the way the Venture Universe is set up.

What that  /|\  guy said.

Confusing several characters in the original post.. Sandow was Venture's bodyguard during the era when it was simply "The Guild", and is one of many lumanaries from the time in The Guild including Alastair Crowley and Mark Twain iirc.  Eugen Sandow was one of the first 'strong men' type guys.  

Cano was Jonas Venture Seniors bodyguard.  (His name being a play on Kano, the Green Hornets bodyguard as well as Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther's bodyguard and also the fact that he spits flame out of his mouth .. Vol - Cano)
