Cory Hooper True, but as a counterpoint, Rusty is also wholly unimpressed by these people on a very genuine level. The theatrics, the show of force, the menace; he’s seen it all before to the point of being almost bored of it. Sure, they could kill him. So what? People have been trying to do that since before he was out of training pants. In a way his ability to not give a fuck about all the pomp and circumstance and cut to the heart of the matter without any formality or concern for social correctness made him uniquely qualified to oversee this summit.

He was always trying to cast a shadow, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Rusty didn't condemn a super successful research and development company to obsolescence, he inherited it in a nose dive that he was even less capable to pull out of than his dad was. In a world that glorified Jonas Venture (Sr) so far as to glorify his exploits in television (interviews, photo ops) and cartoons (The Rusty Boy Adventurer cartoons), Sr found himself at odds making super scientific ends meet. I'll bet everything he had at one point or another was being developed for someone, _for money,_ to use as a villain (the gas he was using in his underground society, the experimental jet, A.I. tech, a shrink/growth ray). And for every public failing, like the Helper recall, there were a *slew* of private disasters I'm sure they just swept under the rug and those disasters are _costly!_ I would wager Jonas Sr dies on Gargantua-1 after he's exposed for being an underground villain tech developer, slowly turning into a villain over time, and killed before it can be discovered in the past and do something scary like: Turn Billy into the most terrifying villain the world knows because his boyhood hero and idol (son excluded) turned out to be the biggest villain of all!

Which makes it all the scarier since the whole reason for these accords is everyone knows the villains would be way worse without rules to both restrict and protect them; they like using the kid gloves but have access to so much worse. While the OSI barely has the moral high ground given how paranoid, over-reacting and often outright fascist they are. It's the one case where Rusty's traumatic life actually helps him because he knows all about how this works and has plenty of contempt for and familiarity with both sides, and the point isn't to make either side happy but give them a feeling of stability and establish a status quo.

I love the fact that once Rusty starts calling his dad a shitty parent and how there is no fairness, your immediate thought is "Ugh, Rusty's gonna whine about his dad again", but then the speech continues. And then it hits you. Yes, Rusty is horrible and whiny, but if anyone out of the entire cast knows how unfair life is, it's him. He's been through so much crap as a kid and as an adult not just from the various villains, but also his own father and his friends. And none of his current peers or friends even acknowledge that Rusty suffered at the hands of the so-called "heroes". I love Rusty's development throughout the show. He's still a jackass by season 7, but a far cry from what he used to be in the early seasons.

I secretly hope Rusty added a clause where both the OSI and the Guild have to pay him dues.

He’s learned not only how to survive but to thrive in this world of mad scientists, super powered weirdos, SHIELDesque government agents, secret societies, demonic entities and costumed freaks constantly threatening to exploit, maim or kill him. He knows how these nutbags think, and he knows how to use it against them. If he weren’t so wrapped up in his daddy issues and constantly getting in his own way as a result of his own insecurities or greed, he’d be a force to be reckoned with.

Without urgency, he procrastinates or gets distracted. his insecurities, greed and sloth are his big personal failings, but he actually has unrealized potential, which is both interesting, but also sad.

He’s spent so long trying to live up to peoples expectations of his father while a) lacking his father’s skill set and having an entirely separate one and b) his father’s reputation being built entirely on an empire of lies that when he finally stops caring about living up to that myth, he’s a perfectly serviceable individual. He blends perfectly between the various organizations just because he’s equally fed up with all their shit and will call them out for it.

I love the diversity of reactions here (1:10) a little after when the OSI and GCI members are called "children" for the second time, and what the reactions tell about the characters. - Phantom Limb looks maybe a bit disdainful or like he's just ignoring Rusty, but he could be thinking about it. - Dr. Mrs. The Monarch is just plain insulted and not giving Rusty the time of day, though she was listening to him for a little while (if you watch you can see when she turns her shoulder). - Red Mantle and Dragoon both look decently ashamed/guilty, Red Mantle more so. - Colonel Gathers has chronic "I must cross my arms if I'm not using them," that plus the shades makes it a bit difficult to parse his emotions, but he's hunching his shoulders a lot more than he was earlier, seeming like he's also a little ashamed. - Brock just looks like he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. - Snoopy's just trying to busy himself with paperwork like he's not there. - Shore Leave is having a reaction similar to Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and looking like a kid angrily in timeout (he's even pouting). Their reactions if anything reaaally just back up what Rusty was saying about them being kids. He's not really wrong, is he?

In Hindsight, Jonas was a bigger failure, as alot of the crap Rusty had to deal with was what his Dad left behind, as revealed by the old venture team later on. Jonas was a super smart and talented Manchild, who quickly got bored with things and did something else without caring what was left when he did. He didn't give a shit about the outcomes of his actions. The amount of people Jonas abused and abandoned to cruel fates that Rusty in later life had to deal with makes Rusty the better man, Jonas' success were a smokescreen to how much of an awful person he really was and if the public knew who he really was, he wouldn't be the celebrated hero he is in the venture bro's world. The worst part of Rusty living his Jonas' shadow is that shadow is a web of lies and misdeeds to protect one man's ego, and Rusty knows that on some level.

I love how Rusty has grown throughout the series, in small ways, but they all build up to these moments in the end where he's the only one who can see past the nonsense. Also a huge part of what makes this scene one of my favorites in the whole show is how great James Urbaniak is at delivering these lines.

Rusty really stepped it up this season, probably his best moments came from this one. Even though he's still very cynical and disenfranchised with the guild and heroes lifestyle, he still managed to take the role of an authority figure because he alone understands just how idiotic and crazy things can get without somebody putting their foot down to control all the craziness between the factions.

My Dad taught me and my brother how to compromise one day by asking what we wanted to eat. We wanted different things, so instead of showing favoritism he said he'd drive straight until we made up our minds. We argued for over an hour, driving from the residential suburbs to the major city in the county off of streets instead of highways. Everytime we passed a restaurant he'd ask us if we wanted it, then we'd argue it out in the car. Eventually we saw a restaurant that, from the outside, looked run down and scummy. It wasn't in a good area, but me and my brother compromised because we were starting to get light headed. The inside of the restaurant had alot of red and gold decor, it looked awesome compared to the shitty exterior. The food was some of the best I ever had, and in the end we learned to not be stupid and try some newer food stuff.

And love. 🎶Sweet love....🎶

I would pay to watch someone give this lecture to Congress

Holy crap… I just realized that dock is actually the adult in this whole thing

I love moments like these that show that Rusty, although he's not the smartest or most accomplished character out there, showcases an experienced and somewhat wise mind. Under all that egoism, self-centeredness, low-self esteem and sass, there's an actual mature adult that understands things as they are and isn't afraid of calling out people for their immaturity. There was a small but similar moment in "A Very Venture Halloween", when he told Dermott to go back outside and knock the door because he barged into the room, and when he said "Seriously?", Rusty just looked at him and blinked slowly, and then Dermott went and actually did it. It was such a parent move.

Doc is the only one in the room with known parenting experience, which is why he is the only one to understand what is happening. (Brock has cared for the boys, but he doesnt really parent them he is still formerly their bodyguard and that dynamic is constant thruought the whole show, even if he does love them. Also he has had illegitemate kids and actively avoids them, ala Spanikopita)

This is the best put and best explained course of action that I believe arguably everyone needs to hear right now

Holy shit! this actually shows that Rusty is capable of learning from his fathers and, even better, his own faillings.

I suddenly feel a burgeoning sense of genuine concern, when Rusty is being the reasonable one.

I love conflict and resolution situations like this 👍

I just realised Jonas Sr probably officiated the original signing cause both organisations knew he was neither hero nor villain

I’d say more a antihero/moral less hero. He did good things for the good of people, but was too selfish to care about laws or morals. A perfect example of this is the MUTHER episode. He makes a nuclear safety bunker, but wants to use mind altering drugs to normalize people. He invites some orphans to see the underground, but when MUTHER starts releasing gas, he leaves ALL the children, and never go’s back down to save them, despite unplugging MUTHER, thus making the underground safe for a explore and rescue. Good scientist and adventurer, terrible father and human.

Rusty as the voice of reason... and a successful one at that. Between this and all, ALL of the super science, Magic, or whatever else (LOOKING AT YOU, MR MURDERBAG), now has the world NOT been obliterated yet?

"You won't get EVERYTHING, but you'll get SOMETHING. Stop with this "fairness" crap and make some compromises. Then go home to your friends and brag about how much you got 'em! OR... you can go back and go 'oH! wE dIdN't GeT _EVERYTHING_ wE wAnTeD, sO wE gOt _NOTHING_ !!! bEcAuSe We'Re BiG BABIES!'"

Seeing brock dressed down and actually look ashamed is alarming. Seeing it done by Rusty Venture is the moment you know you fucked up.

Rusty's speech is so relevant right now

Rusty maybe a shitty scientist, but this is probably the one time he actually makes sense and talk things out.

when Doc tries he actually he can be amazing

0:47 “NEWS FLASH! My dad was a shitty parent. But when my boys cry about fairness, I remind them fairness is the philosophical tooth fairy. THERE IS NO FAIRNESS!!!” Considering at every aspect of his life he gets screwed over regardless of his intentions that statement couldn’t be any more true for Rusty.

When rusty is on. he is on

Jonas Sr. was in fact a supervillain that took the most joy in convincing others to love him by making his self serving actions benefit the public JUST enough to be considered a hero. Ingenious, resourceful, and one of the worst human beings ever to walk the face of the Earth.

At the end of the day Rusty is the most mature of this group

Cant blame Watch/Ward for assuming they'd never actually get to the signing phase.

FUnny thing is that Rusty is the only one there that has kids

A surprising amount of people need to hear this.

You know, if your definition of fairness is getting everything you want, then going to a meeting like that I’d kind of pointless and might as well default back to attempting to *take* everything you want.

Probably the best moments of doc ever . God when will the new season come out . I started to miss them .

Rusty should go to Washington he would get more done then anybody with these senators and congress.

Rusty's shining moment.

What the... Rusty just owned. Is he allowed to do that?

He has his moments. Like when he woke up from his coma, took charge, and put Dean in the shower when he had ants on his ass.

According to the new rules he set, he is allowed to own everybody at least once per season

shows Rusty better a man then his Dad

"Perfect is the enemy of good"

Can that speech be played at the UN, it seems like it may help....

I mean, this is the guy who puts Ketchup and Chocolate Syrup in his cocktails.
