Venture Bros.

The Venture Bros. “Dia de Los Dangerous”

–Some weird bits here.  It’s funny to me that the first time the boys appear, they’re wearing giant sombreros.  Their dialogue is a little off, but it does establish the pattern of Hank awkwardly trying to use slang (“This place is tits!”).  The very fact that Doc isn’t familiar with a monarch butterfly seems to indicate that the Monarch hasn’t been much of a force in his life up to this point.  Monarch gets mad when Dr. Girlfriend calls him “Buddy”, and he insists that she “keep it professional”.  Since that would be a weird pet name, it’s possible that the Monarch’s real name is, in fact, Buddy.  Finally, Speedy is a  henchman who hasn’t earned his wings.  We never see that costume design again on any other henchmen (no wings, no full hood), though Speedy later appears as a ghost in Season Four, so he’s still in continuity.
