![]() Jonas’s betrayal of his friend turns out to be the inciting incident that set the tragedy of this entire show into motion. We always knew he wasn’t a great father, but his treatment of The Blue Morpho makes him out to be a villain in his own right. But, I’ve got to say that the MVP of this episode is absolutely Jonas Venture, who turns out to be way more of a villain than previously understood. I wish it would easier to pin down just what I liked the most about this episode, but there’s just so many amazing moments to consider. It’s just one big hit after another, with the episode smacking you in the face with twist after twist, all leading up to the legendary tale of the “Movie night massacre”, Jonas Venture’s death and the Pyramid Wars which followed. Yet, somehow the writing and episode direction manages to keep up the pace without getting scattered. You would think with the incredible density of the plot in this episode, that there would be problems with pacing and making sure each character gets enough screen time. With soap opera twists like this, The Venture Bros. is shooting for way more than its pop culture lampoon roots that still run strong in its writing and humor. I would have never expected the return of a small-time villain like Vendata this late in the game, nor could I have imagined that he was the actual Blue Morpho the entire time. It’s not just a new episode, but a conclusion/explanation of events long past. There’s so much to unpack here, and so little time, but I’ll start by saying that this is one episode that will have Venture Bros. From its explosive beginning to its riveting end, I was completely enthralled by the ever-increasing complexity of this show that keeps pushing its own envelope when its already taking first place in a category of its own design. Well, holy hell and all the devils in it, this was a fantastic episode. The Blue Morpho is gone, and so is Jonas Venture, as The Monarch stands tall over their dead bodies. Venture and The Monarch get swept up in their fight and end up rocketed out across the city and land on a Rusty Venture parade float. Things reach critical mass when the “PROBLEM” suddenly lunges forward, grasping Vendata in his wires in a final attempt to kill his old colleague. Venture, and eventually turned into an evil villain who helped orchestrate the “Movie Night Massacre” on Gargantua 1, a monumental event that changed the world forever. Through a series of flashbacks interlaced with snappy dialogue from the cast in the present, we learn the tragic tale of The Blue Morpho, who was blackmailed by Dr. As it turns out, he was actually a cyborg built by Jonas Venture from the remains of The Blue Morpho, and has returned to interface with Jonas Venture in the PROBLEM, searching for answers. ![]() ![]() We start things off from the perspective of The Blue Morpho, who turns out to actually be Vendata, a minor villain from a couple seasons back who got his ass kicked by Brock Samson. With The Blue Morpho’s sudden reappearance, things have been thrown completely into chaos. ![]()
