The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart

enjoy

Huge fan of the series, the humor is even better for an intelligent audience. However to release this to Blu-ray & streaming was a "Milk it" for the cult fans. I thought season 7 was a bit of a dip on Vendata being the blue Morpho despite the scene in episode 2 when Wide Wale had him tied up because of Garry's oversleeping. It also shifted from Wide Wale not caring about the Blue Morpho killing 10s but the flashback to Dr Dugan with his cuddle fish lol. When Ventura/Vendata plugs in and we see how much more unethical Jonas Sr was, it was clear that 1. Mrs Morpho gave birth. 2. She was either artificially inseminated or seduced by Jonas and Malcolm /Monarch was his half brother. So the end of this film felt forced somewhat. I've read posts based on Dean's second visit to Ben meeting a original intended helper...that the robot believed he was Rusty and ergo a clone. This is problematic and hard to ignore, because the only way JJ aka Jonas Jr. Could exist is if he and rusty shared a womb. Even in the animated universe, it would be difficult to explain how "Rusty" may have been cloned. We know that Malcom and Thaddeus played together. So maybe Dr Jonas had a few prepared Rusty Slugs. One with spliced in baboon to counter boldness and I assume provide some height, and given over the Blue Morpho to raise as an adoptee. In terms of Debbie being the daughter of Pre-Shape Shifting sovereign, For e and the strong implication provided Rusty with the eggs aka "some things of hers that she had no plan on using" so she is the biological mother doner of Hank & Dean. I'm assuming that a bulk of the 14 pair of Hank and Deans (Add the Scooby-Doo spoof episode and another episode where Hank & Dean are shrunk skeletons in a shrunken Venture submarine) that died at the end of season one were #16 and season two to present they were 17s and the last chance. Since the slugs had to start incubating around the time of their original birth the Ventures Brothers died between 13-15 17 times. So I wonder if they never were cloned how old would they be? I felt like the 85 minutes was crammed in as opposed to making a more coherent continuity story with one more season of 7-10 episodes. There were no Brock Rages, the mockery of the Justice League/Avengers was absent. Professor Impossible....etc. In terms of my favorite two headed villain, and other great characters....it was a Hank maturity story....and tons of past references. "All this & Gargantua 2" as well as the two part battle of Cremation Creek, or the three part beginning to season 7 were all significantly better than this film.

I've been a fan of Venture Bros. Since the start. What began as nothing more than a silly parody of old weekly action animation and comics soon built a deep and vast lore, and it was hard not to be swept up in it. Of course, through adding that lore and creating it's own universe, came it's own hardships. Cliffhangers and references to past episodes soon took over, and at certain points didn't pay off to the utmost satisfaction of the viewer. Although, after rewatching the series multiple times, I found a lot of the answers I wanted were just buried in subtlety. It was a attempt at giving the viewer a chance to play detective and connect all the dots themselves, but some humor was lost along the way through this new delivery. However, I feel they found their footing again in later seasons and managed to not only ramp up the jokes, but also fleshed out every single character along the way. This movie was the culmination of all of that. It's obvious that they developed a writing style to balance between jokes and exposition and had the time to really hone in on it. There were some parts where I legit had a hard time keeping up with all the hilarity, while still going, "ohhhhhh, that makes sense." By the way, making sense of anything in this universe tends to take a bit of mental gymnastics, but this finally felt like that exactly how they wanted it. There aren't many series' that feel like a complete story that I want to watch from beginning to end, over and over, but this finale helped make it one. It's finished, it's hilarious, it's heartwarming, and it's very well-written. Thank you to the writers for giving a proper ending to one of my favorite shows of all time.

This was bitter sweet, but such an amazing movie! Doc and Jackson never fail to entertain! It ends where it all began. They answered some big questions but left enough room for future projects. I laughed so hard many times throughout the movie. The Monarch and Gary together always get themselves into situations that never turn out quite like they expected. Their antics are hilarious. We also get to see more of the Triad. It's a shame they couldn't have done a whole season, but they managed to make an awesome movie. If you're reading this and haven't bought the movie, buy it now or eat the pennies, Quizboy! 😉

Oh boy oh boy, where do I even begin.... This was such a waste of my time and a total snoozefest. Those attempts at humor, god, so bad it hurts. The movie doesn't even have a storyline, it's all chaos with "funny" parts which are all but funny. Those who rated this 10 must have been watching some other movie or they have dislexia or something. Skip this, trust me, you'll be doing yourself a favor. This is probably one of the worst cartoons I ever watched. There are a couple of ok lines here and there but beyond that, this movie has literally nothing to offer. Instead of wasting your time on this nonsense, go read a book or take a swim.

I'll be blunt, as much as I had enjoyed the show, I could never quite get into it as I'd always feel lost constantly seeing new characters or progression of events throughout the years. Now, seeing it getting something akin to a conclusion, I finally decided to pick it up and watch it all the way from Season 1 to the movie over the past couple weeks and man, what a fantastic experience that was for me. Not only from the enjoyment of watching the show, but seeing how the creators progressively found their footing in this insane mashup of characters and plots while masterfully inching Hank and Dean away from being punchlines to people you could sympathize with in their want to find their place in the world. I individually have no weight on whether this show continued or not, but I'd like to apologize on behalf of everyone like me who never gave it a real chance. One of the best animated adult shows of the last two decades and one of the very few remaining comedies with actual teeth. I miss it already.

I hope they make more venture bros, i still need to know about grover clevelands time machine, i need to know about escape to the house of mummies part 1 i need to know dammit. I feel theres still so much to be explored through the venture bros universe, like the order of the triad and their new headquarters, ventek tower being air lifted to the compound, whatever happened to serena? I would love to see more stories with the boys and their uncle monarch, i waited too long for it to be over this fast. I would like to see either new seasons of the show pr if they continue to release specials/movies.

This is a masterpiece, absolutely, from beginning to end. The Venture Bros, as a series, is one of the most amazing adult animation shows produced in the last few decades, the world-building, the attention to detail, the character development, the writing, the animation... it's clear that the creators (Jackson Publick, Doc Hammer and their entire team) poured their hearts into this project from day one (back in the early 2000s) and this movie exists as a testament of the love and dedication all of them have put into The Venture Bros. Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart is the "conclusion" (I seriously hope we get more Venture Brothers) to over two decades of growth, organized villainy, acid magnets and lightning riffles. If you're a Venture Bros fan, this movie is a warm hug, a strange and long awaited warm hug that is supposed to mean "goodbye" but you, wholeheartedly hope is more of a "We'll meet again, stay tuned Venture-oo!". This show is a gift, this movie is a gift, and I am grateful I got to watch it.

This movie was so great! Packed with all the action and humor I've grow accustomed to with the show over the years! I'm a little disappointed pointed it was so short and had hoped they would be given a little more time to tie up all there loose ends, but otherwise phenomenal cast and characters! I could definitely see how scenes throughout the movie were originally intended to be episodes all their own. The villain and her motives were wonderfully silly for the cap stone on the Venture bros story, and it's definitely worth the watch. Let's hope a new company opens their eyes and help give the show the ending it really deserves.
