Best of Henchman 24 [Venture Bros]

I love 24's voice, I was so bummed when he died. Obviously in hindsight it was the best thing to ever happen to the show because it made 21 into a total badass, but i still miss his weird phlegm-y slurred voice every now and then

I just realized that even though 21 and 24 are in the 20's for their ranks (Which is still quite high) they are basically the monarch's number 2's even if their number/rank doesn't say as such. So the Monarch did kinda keep his promise to 24.

Or only eating eggs, seeds, milk, etc. You could extrapolate that everything also gets a soul after some time alive, so grains, beans, eggs, are alright. And I guess things like milk or honey wouldn't have souls to begin with. You could survive like that. You could also probably eat what's called "microgreens", aka recently sprouted vegetables.

Rewatching the earlier episodes of Venture Bros really made me miss 24 in the later seasons. 21 and 24 were such a perfect duo of geeks who happened to be henchmen. Some of his lines were really funny to me like "I can't believe how hard it is to kill these two" when Dean was trying to put out the fire on Hank's crotch and "okay Now I believe you're Hank's friend" after hearing that Dermott had a lighter up his ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But I do think he had to die so that we could get 2 Ton 21 and let Gary grow into one of the most competent characters in the series. He's a character I'd still have wanted around but I can accept his death and appreciate what it lead to in the later seasons.

I think that it was an intentional 'slackin' . . . you see reality with the charred skull. This is what the Monarch sees. But when the POV of the...well, guess we would call it "status" or "situation" of 24 from 21's point of view, he's "back." In other words? It wasn't an animation error. It was reality and then ghost again, because we changed from Monarch's view back to 21's view, and 21's view is the ghost sitting there, not a skull.
