The Boys Never Died | The Venture Bros. | Adult Swim

I do like how once all the clones were finally gone for good, Hank and Dean started physically aging and growing up.

[@MasterThanatos1301]

Not to mention how they seemingly stopped being death prone

[@MusicFan752]

Did rusty just keep the clone slugs to age till a certain point or just the natural process of the clone slugs???

[@IAmADragonHearMeRoar]

@@MusicFan752 well all multicellular organisms that age have this bit on the ends of their chromosomes called ‘telomeres’ that functions sort of like the end cap on a shoelace or hoodie string. It’s a string of non-repeating DNA that protects the sections with the code that tells the cell how to function. Over time, telomeres get smaller and smaller as the organism ages until the cells stop dividing. When cell death rate overtakes the cell division rate is when body tissues start to degrade and the organism gets old. With the Venture super science tech it’s possible that after at least the first time the boys died, Rusty accelerated the aging process to the speed at which embryos develop (hence the weird squishy appearance) to get a huge batch of clones and then stagnated the telomeres to halt the aging from going any further at all until he needed the clone slugs. It doesn’t seem to be a perfect method, because there was that whole episode with the Dean clone who had severe physical deformities and was trying to make a Dean suit. Looked like he had a lot of weird growths all over him, which can also be explained by the process that causes cancer (mutant cells that are replicating without clear instruction) which can happen if the DNA is damaged, which it likely was knowing the Venture family’s escapades.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

I liked the idea of the clones at first but I'm glad it ended when it did. As the story became more developed it felt natural for Hank and Dean to age and take on more serious roles in the show.

[@PurpledaisyShasta]

[@SollowP]

One thing I do find interesting in all of this, Dr. Morpheus was never able to actually find Hank and Dean's souls in the afterlife. Which kind of means that their souls never left off into the afterlife. This sort of means that whenever the two died, their souls would leave their bodies and then return once Doc brought out a new pair of clones.

[@kylecampbell2164]

Or a more simple and terrifying answer is that the boys no longer have souls. The ones who died where not the originals. Im guessing that when the boys died the first time their souls left their bodies and by this time they are long gone.

[@johnsayles8032]

@@kylecampbell2164 nah, Rusty just knows how to seemingly infuse souls into objects and split them apart. The first time we meet Dr Orpheus this is established when they're trying to rescue Brock from the "not" holodeck that it was "powered by the soul of a forsaken child" "well, not ALL of it". Pour one out for Marco

[@digitalcthulhu143]

There's a theory floating around that the OG Hank and Dean are still alive, just with their mother who took them when she left Rusty. It starts to make sense too, since if they're alive Orpheus can't find their soul in the afterlife. Not only that but Rusty tells Brock in this clip "the ones you see are clones too". Could the original brothers be alive then?

[@ismeal231]

Well considering that the hanks and deans that we knew are themselves clones of children of a clone, may be an explanation why their souls might not have been located in the afterlife. They're not even the original children of the original rusty venture.

This adds more to Rusty's character, originally the show made Dr. Venture look like a father who didn't care for his sons' safety. He cares so much to keep clones of them in his basement in case they were to die, and hires a body guard to slow down the dying process.

[@cesarvictoriano8072]

Israel De Los Reyes they’re probably only counting deaths they could confirm, like a body or a limb. The Groovy Gang(may Ted suffer in his hell as an undead half retarded Frankenstein unlike Sonny, who only got shot in the chest so he might have higher brain function and Venturestein, for obvious reasons) hid the corpses, they probably chocked them to dead when they weren’t responding to their watches and made clones to replace them as per routine. You can’t really recall a death when you don’t even know what happened to the body to lock onto that memory, like when Brock was surprised what were apparently the actual 7th set of clones, the scissors and Batman ones were after, meaning there were times they were being Hank and Dean somewhere, Doc noticed they were missing, no response from comms or signs of where they weren’t. “I’ll go heat up the slugs.”

[@martinmcneal2778]

There is technically 4 half deaths. Dean from the safety scissors and Hank from the Batman jump, each have another Hank and Dean that were either in the shrunken submarine inside Rusty or were the two wandering around the compound from the Venturestien episode as well as from Sunny's flashback.

it's even darker when you think about it and realize sometimes only one of them dies, so what happens to the other one? and back in s1 Hank asked Brock to mercy kill him when he was going to blow up, and Brock told him how he would do it (snap their necks while sleeping) Hank asks Brock if he's thought about it before and Brock says "yes I have" so Brock may have been killing the surviving sibling so the clones line up time wise

[@phantomkrieger2744]

In a way this is also Doc’s way of not letting the boys grow up especially if the boys retain all their memories but are supposed to be 19 when they are 16 (in this season) they’ve been essentially adventuring all this time. Makes sense why the boys are so content staying at the compound in season 4 and onward, essentially the first three seasons are the last of probably hundreds of Jonny questesque adventures.

[@SpaceCase132]

I doubt it. When we see the clone vats, all the clones are the same age (even being in an infant stage at the time Brock becomes Rusty’s bodyguard). That, coupled with the mentions to others that a clone would take about 9 months (the standard time for a pregnancy) to have a sample of DNA developed into a blank slate clone, it can be pieced together that the clones in the compound grow in real-lime. As for the memory retention, I can imagine that the learning beds might also serve a purpose of scanning the boys’ brains while they sleep, allowing the input of new memories into the clones upon activation. As for the “they’re supposed to be 19” argument, the only real source of that comes from Myra, as in the obsessive and insane former bodyguard that planned to place Dean in her womb to “give birth” to him to be his “real” mother. And even assuming there’s a delay in the time between the deaths and the cloning, that would be a delay of about a month, 2 months at most.

@@SpaceCase132 I think people also tend to gloss over the fact Rusty might not have cloned them right when they were born. It's entirely possible they might have bean a couple years old when he first started the clone project. The clones are def younger than the originals.

[@SpaceCase132]

@@Helladamnleet Maybe, but this is Rusty “had a kidney removed with a local anesthetic and was forced to kill a man with a house key by age 10 ” Venture we’re talking about. Considering he narrowly avoided death more times than a retirement home for cats by the time he hit puberty (and the revelation that Rusty is also a clone), it’s not a stretch to believe that he began the cloning process for Hank and Dean by the time he discovered that he was going to be a father.

[@DDSForbbiden]

Rusty actually looked cool with the mustache.

He looked a little like Dr. Benton Quest good thing he did not keep that look around Action Johnny.

0:40 Doc looks like Walter White from Breaking Bad.

[@LiquidSSSnake]

I was about to say the same thing from looking at the thumbnail.

[@kalphitekil]

You mean Walter White looks like Doc.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

kalphitekil "Brock, it's time to cook." Or more accurately nowadays, "Hatred, we need to cook." Wouldn't surprise me if Season 6 had the Doc making superpower-enhancing drugs to pay the bills in one episode. Hell it could tie in with a subplot involving Jefferson Twilight getting hooked on it in order to match the powers of Orpheus and Al, and the resultant interventions for both Jefferson and Rusty.

I guess they didn't know about when Groovy and Sonny killed the boys in the cave in Mexico. The Scooby Doo parody with each member cast as a serial killer or other psychotic was pure genius. This is the episode with Venturestein. Again. Pure genius! Sonny and Groovy (Shag and Scoob) were Son of Sam and his talking dog. Fred was cast as Ted Bundy. Daphne was cast as Patty Hurst with a nod to "the girl in the box". (I actually went to high school with that work of art) Velma was cast some obscure lesbian anarchist who's name escapes me. But, she postulated that men should be virtually wiped out with just a few kept in cages for breeding purposes.

[@TetsuDeinonychus]

Velma's counterpart was based on Valerie Solanas.

[@walkingcubkid]

You know somethin, Jim rash would be perfect for the role of dr. Rusty Venture, if there were ever a live action incarnation film, or a short film helping out a good budgeted director

[@paulrippcord506]

My favorite thing they don’t show all of their deaths, just some of the ones that Brock and Rusty witnessed. They were at one point killed by Scooby and the Gang.

[@bthsr7113]

Their fault Not their fault Their fault Their fault Their fault... mostly, but what kind of clothesline is able to decapitate a person at subsonic speeds like that? Not their fault. Hank's fault. Not their fault. Dean's fault. Not their fault. Not their fault. Not their fault. Not their fault.

[@dummyaccount5275]

You know, one thing I miss from the earlier seasons is some of the soundtrack like in this clip. Or the song in the first episode where Brock destroys the Monarch's Henchmen with the car. Those songs appear a bit in season 3 and 4 but rarely and not much after it.

And obviously getting "twisted in the wind" for refusing to give directions in the season 1 finale. This has bothered me for 16 years now. The count seems a bit off. Hank dies one more time than Dean during the random satellite crush. It seems that one death is missing or did I miss something? I always count 12.5 deaths. Not 14. Now excuse me while I eat my 100 tacos that I've purchased for 100 dollars for this Doctor Who marathon on PBS.

[@anthonyrodriguez8788]

Hank and Dean do die one more time that wasn't included in this montage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWS4k399p82Nb8k Hank and Dean number 7 shrank themselves and the X-3 and took a joyride inside of their father's body. they then got stuck and starved to death and eventually, they gave the "good" doctor a life-threatening blood Clot.

[@enriquegalvan1491]

So based on the episodes with all clone info. Rusty made multiple clones at the beginning when the boys were born so they would be the same age if the OG boys ever died at one point. All the clones were perfect enough. When the OG boys died Rusty must have used the 1st clones then they died. This went on until the clones were destroyed and the only ones were alive were the ones at the end of the series.

[@mountainhun]

It's almost a golden case of natural selection. :P natural selection doesn't select for perfection, it selects for whatever dumb luck traits keeps a species from going extinct. Hank and Dean were an evolutionary dead end until eventually a set of characteristics emerged that kept them from blindly stumbling into death. :P

[@litheran69]

I like to think that they went through a Doomsday style progression. Their souls retained the knowledge of their deaths and they became more resilient.

[@kasbakgaming]

So, looking back at this I count 12 deaths for the boys (most events killing both, with Hank jumping off the roof as Batman and Dean running with scissors being their only individual deaths). The latest death at the end of the last season making 13. And now we know the 7s died in a miniaturized submarine inside of Rusty. This show's continuity is on point.

[@notsoberoveranalyzer8264]

Gotta love dean. He’s so inept at life speedwalkong / jogging with scissors is a deathly sport.

[@fionamorland6782]

This scene shows how much Doc cares for his kids. Yes, he's a horrible father and constantly complains about his kids. But he has cloning technology, he could change almost anything about his boys when they die. He could make them smarter, better looking, more interested in science; anything. He could also scrap the boy's clones and use them to make him rich by selling clones and disposable soldiers to the government. But he doesn't, he keeps the clones for his boys, he dose his best to keep his cloning vats away from the government and keeps Hank and Dean the same as the originals were which means he views them as perfect the way they are.

[@ntinosaggelopoulos6718]

I don't think rusty is enough bright for that

[@damienofthedamned]

wait a sec, in that one scene, it was only Hank who was crushed by the satellite, Dean was nowhere near it. So question: What does Doc do if only one of the boys dies?

[@MenachemSchmuel]

+Damien Taylor Maybe he just waits for the other to get himself killed? I mean, Dean managed to die with a pair of safety scissors.

[@damienofthedamned]

+MenachemSchmuel True. Maybe he does and just edits any memories of otherwise from their cloned brains

[@TheNintendude1997]

+Damien Taylor Dean remembered Hank dying from jumping of a roof dressed as batman

[@damienofthedamned]

+TheNintendude1997 true...and so did Hank himself remember it. hmm haven't an explanation for that one

[@rodinclaus9380]

+Damien Taylor I think it was implied that Brock kills the other one based on Dean's comment "You've thought about this before, haven't you Brock?". Of course it would be hard to imagine Brock in the later season's doing that...

One thing I always found interesting is from this slide show that Hank dies more than Dean by like 1 corpse. But by how they say it as both being on 14, makes me think, he was also counting clone Dean.
