[QUOTE=Pochacco] I think it’s really funny that of all the men in _The Venture Brothers_, the guy in the giant butterfly suit is the only one capable of forming a meaningful, long-term relationship with a woman. [/QUOTE] What about Jonas Jr, Rusty’s brother? He seems to have formed a good relationship with a really screwed-up Susan Impossible. They’ve set up house on Spider Skull Island together. ---

They’ve set up house on Spider Skull Island together. [/QUOTE] Oh damn, you’re right! I forgot about the little guy. Speaking of midgets who have their acts together … Tim-Tom and Kevin’s ruthlessness and combat skills were amazing. No wonder Lady Au Pair had trouble keeping them under control! ---

Yes, they are indeed \*Murderous \* moppets. ---

I love it that Phantom Limb actually held a grudge against Manotaur for all those years. ---

[QUOTE=kaylasdad99] I love it that Phantom Limb actually held a grudge against Manotaur for all those years. [/QUOTE] And that he WAS so naive that he didn’t realize his number 9 was the guy banging his number 2, who then went on to become The Monarch. As a side note: I knew that, despite losing at least a leg and another…umm… “appendage” at the end of season two, they would have Phantom Limb come back, but is he part salamander, or something? Did whatever experiment that gave him invisible, death-giving, limbs also make it so they can grow back? Oh, and this episode I finally understood “Truckules” name. Oh, I knew he was a truck (duh) but I finally noticed the bottom half of an ancient Greek-style tunic he also wore. Hence, he was like a _truck_, and also like _Hercules_, so he was Truckules. ---

I think, based on the glimpses we got, that Phantom Limb’s missing ‘limbs’ were replaced by bionic components. ---

Was the Phantom Limb epilogue supposed to be “present day”? I thought it was another flashback, and that Limb had snuffed the Manotaur years ago. ---

[QUOTE=vibrotronica] Was the Phantom Limb epilogue supposed to be “present day”? I thought it was another flashback, and that Limb had snuffed the Manotaur years ago. [/QUOTE] I certainly took it to be present-day. His commentary to the effect that he never forgets a grudge seemed to imply that a long, long time had passed since the “offense” had taken place. ---

That, and Manotaur was talking about how he’d retired from the supervillain business. ---

It’s certainly funnier if it was present day. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/attention-venture-brothers-fans/450841.md?page=2)
