If you listen to the commentary, Doc mentions how he came up with this huge elaborate lore and backstory for the Investors and then he saw how nobody was really talking about them or coming up with theories like they do for literally everything else, so he never incorporated any of it in the show because "nobody cared". Classic Venture creative process :D

The investors are so effectively intimidating because while there is magic and other associated mystical shenanigans going on in the Venture Bros universe, they all adhere to certain laws and limitations. Like Orpheus said once, nobody can even handle the denizens of the underworld. But the Investors don't play the same game. They do what they want, without restriction, without consequence. Unlike Orpheus who simply pretended he was snakes, or conjured fake illusions, the Investors can choose who they appear to, can ignore any material object. In a world full of restrictions and regulations, they are the only free factor, and that makes them a threat to anyone.

I like the dichotomy between killinger and the investors. The investors are greedy capitalism and killinger is altruistic capitalism. Killinger elevates his clients because he believes that by helping others prosper, he himself will profit. The investors seek profit at all costs. They will protect their investment without care for whom it harms or what it takes to do so. At least that's how my currently drunk mind sees it. But then again it is just an adult cartoon so....perhaps I'm reading into it too much.

I think it fits, with the show's whole subversion of the genre. It'd suck to have them be some crazy, removed from reality threat. Venture Bros is at its best when playing with the implications of dysfunctional adult children playing dress up with death lasers. The show's best stories have their "epic" moments offscreen- like seeing Jonas die vs hearing it from the (obviously traumatized and crazy) Red Death. Or Brock realizing the Pyramid Wars were fake, undermining his whole career.

I love that the most terrifying villains in this show are Investors.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Maiar from LotR. The investors being like Saruman, who uses his godlike powers for personal gain, while Killinger is more like Gandalf. Who sort of just nudges things in the right directly without forcing it to be. Even his big plan to save the Guild and take out the Investors. He didn't force it to be, he gently guided everyone onto their path to get to the outcome he wanted.

I love how their theme has the same low vocal tone as the Ring Wraith theme from the Bashki Lotr film!

I became slightly less terrified of the investors once i realized they were basically just ghost vampires, but the scene with monstroso and king gorilla is still chilling

I'm inordinately happy that I'm not the only one who thinks that the Dracula brides were the investors. I gotta wonder though, just why they would.

Are those the three stooges I've heard so much about?

I have been waiting for this

I still don't understand what their motives and goal where, why was King Gorilla mad at them, what was The Sovereign trying to get by helping them and also Phantom Limb, why was Killinger helping villains and why did he want to get Mayra back into the boys lifes (maybe that one was to _develop_ the villainy in one of the boys [Dean] since he also wanted Rusty to become a villain).

@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123

Жыл бұрын

The Investors (at least in my opinion) and like living Monkey's Paws. King Gorilla likely wanted to get out of jail, so The Investors gave him lung cancer, thusly freeing him. Similarly, The Sovereign wanted to be.. well, The Sovereign of the Guild, and when the Investors finally came to collect couldn't take the pressure and escaped, if Killinger hadn't slain them, likely would've eventually gotten caught. However, I don't know what he was on with trying to get Mayra back with Doc. Maybe it's just an effect of early show jitters and not having a clear idea yet

Dr. Killenger's got the high ground
