TMM is the drive/reason. This dynamic is best highlighted when she arches her nemesis and the best she does is pickpocket them. Even when she has the drive, with our her other half, she can't use her full potential as a villain.

[@Atlas3060]

You know what the sad irony is about this scene? This is probably one of the times Rusty could take JJ to school on things. Rusty's experience with the Guild wrote chapters in their book. He knows how to play the game with Monarch. He knows when to not escalate. JJ is going about this all wrong, Rusty could have rubbed his twin's face in it and yet Rusty will never know of this moment. Can't enjoy the one time he would have been the JJ in the moment.

[@Gojiro7]

You say that, but Rusty still just sits back and lets Brock (or in his dad's days the original Team Venture) do all the hard work of mopping the floor with henchmen then cleaning off the blood.

[@trebot9292266]

It is in the guild rule book that they can't kill who they arch and vice versa, henchmen being fairgame.

[@0hvist]

actually, a GCI-Approved supervillain CAN kill their guild-designated archenemy that they were screened for and approved by the Guild: so long as it's not on the first day of the job, Monarch got in trouble FIVE TIMES for killing his arches just because they weren't Rusty Venture on the first day. Other rules stipulate that you cannot arch someone if they have a doctors appointment on the day you're arching said person, and you cannot arch someone while either one or both individuals are present on "Hallowed Ground" (I.E.: a Church or place of major religious significance) as said by Brock Samson while attending a funeral. Pulling a Section 8 is when you're aggression levels can allow you to arch someones' family included and apparently it too falls underneath the afforementioned "First Day Arching Rule" according to Dr. Girlfriend about not killing the Arch or the Nemesis in a conflict on Day One.

[@samuraipanda85]

It makes me think that the Guild of C. I. is a fake organization secretly run by the OSI to keep potential super villains in check. That way, evil geniuses with a chip on their shoulder can run around in costume being evil, but restricted enough that they can't do any real harm to the civilian population.

[@trebot9292266]

Henchman Twenty1 dude i would do the same, and a magic murder bag.

[@SovereignStatesman]

GoAwayGoogle *It is in the guild rule book that they can't kill who they arch and vice versa, henchmen being fairgame.* Nope, In this very episode, Brock supposedly kills Henchman #1, and so under Guild rules the Monarch is allowed to take revenge on Thaddeus Venture by becoming his arch-enemy again. (Of course, we later learn that Henchman #1 survived, and becomes "Zero," sidekick of "Zeus.")

[@helpconflict9851]

Also, there are rules regarding threat level, which impact who is designated to arch who. This ensures that there is a "match". Funny enough, the Monarch explains the logic of this well as "the art" of arching, being like fencing:, ensuring both use their best skills

[@heartscaless]

The way Dr. Girlfriend pats The Monarch when he says "I love saying that" is so precious

[@geomease]

The shifts in music and how it relates to action and character theme are perfect in this scene. The thumping beat for tension, the ‘triumphant’ upbeats when jonas is talking, and finally the drop beats when Dr Mrs The Monarch responds with informing him how escalating guild aggression results in bad things happening. Its all so seemless

[@couchpotato2222]

It's almost like the guys who make the show are really into music. I don't know why..../s

[@badoe7138]

Honestly, JJ could've killed them if he wanted. What with the way that the guild treats the death of it's villains they'd just classify him as a higher level protagonist, and match him with a higher ranking villain that could match him equally. Ps. I wonder what JJ's reaction would be to finding out that the monarch is also his brother.

[@jaredsmith1998]

Thats the point of the bluff though, he clearly doesn’t know the system based on what he, himself, told them. So, they can just lie to buy time

[@E100Omega123]

[@jestersraven408]

yeah but at this point in the show the Monarch was a level 9 or 10 villain so chances are JJ would have already been around a level 9 or 10 hero or protagonist or whatever the guild call the good guys but since the Monarch was a high ranking villain chances are the guild would strike back plus Brock basically said that bad things would happen if he killed the Monarch

There is irony when Monarch says, "No Venture will take down the Monarch". Why? Because there are theories that Jonas Venture eas responsible for the Blue Morpho's private airplane, which Monarch (young Malcolm) survived.

[@Phantom19913]

I think Motpho had quit working for Jonas Venture but Venture caused the plane crash to prevent his secrets from ever getting out. Malcolm was saved was because he needed a spare in case he ever lost Rusty in a way that he couldn’t replace him with a clone or if he turned out to be a disappointment. I think he also planned to kill all his friends during movie night but Vendetta was able to break free of his programming long enough to make Sure venture died instead.

This is still one of my favorite episodes. It felt like a classic cartoon but with TVB skin. This episode introduced Doe and Cardholder as well.

[@DianaGohan]

You know as much as we all love the monarch and I obviously still wanted him to survive this it's really only his own mix of luck and J.J's lack of knowledge of his enemy at the point as to how he survived his encounter. Like yeah generally you aren't suppose to go murdering your antagonist but I feel that's much more enforced by the guild when you're a higher level (which it's debatable how much of Monarch was at the time considering it's only after this encounter he's even legally allowed to arch Dr. Venture who wasn't even a prime arch UNTIL the start of season 6) and that may be waved when the antagonist has offed previous assigned targets without question. Now we know Dr. Dewgong is revealed to have survived having his head blown up but in "Tears of A Sea Cow" Mrs. The Monarch points out this is a problem that has happened before which even this episode points out as well so quite honestly JJ was well within his right to kill the Monarch. Again we don't want that to happen but he could of if he knew all the facts at this point.

It's kind of weird that the Guild get's more uppity when one of their villains die but nothing happens when the Monarch killed multiple arches on the first day he goes after them which is supposed to be bad. Point being, you would think the OSI would argue about that a bit with the guild. I mean it's unfair if Villains can kill but Hero's can't.

[@alien5589]

This is probably the only thing I really dislike about this show. The whole "Guild handbook says you can't do this" thing really ruins a lot of things for me. Instead of them escaping in some cool way they just play the guild rule book card. They do this a bunch of times and it's lame. I thought it was appropriate for when the Monarch had Hank and Dean hanging upside down over a river and Dean needed to be cut down because his balls hurt. Other than that I hate when they do the guild rule book thing.

[@DirtyFrigginHarry]

+lasoogneypubes you're missing like the entire point of the series. Its supervillians and heroes if it was a semi-legitimized occupation and they had actual lives. Without the guild and OSI and all the rules, it's just a johnny quest spoof with insanely good writing and deep, empathetic characters that grow and evolve every season.

[@ElectariumTunic]

+lasoogneypubes Just as +DirtyFrigginHarry said. According to the creators, this serie takes place "during the death of the space age" AKA today. While all the villains and arch-enemies mostly worked solo in the 50's and 60's and could do what ever they wanted; today they have organized large trade unions. The Guild of Calamitous Intent is the largest and mightiest trade union. They have many rules regarding the well-being of their members and obligations towards non-members and arch-rivals. One of these rules are that your arch-rival is allowed to see a therapist during "business hours" without the arch-nemesis interfering with said meeting. This mimic the real world where an employee in the 50's and 60's didn't have to bother about "silly things" like their employees' health, but today there are a lot of rules and regulations regarding peoples well-being on the work-place. This is the reason I like the rule book so much. You can't do all the cool and nasty things you could before, because the world today is not the "arch-villain vs. adventurer/super agent"-world of the space age.

[@NyQuilDonut]

DirtyFrigginHarry No I'm not.. I've seen every single episode. I just think it's lame how often they use it. It's used a lot more often later in the series which makes me think they're out of good ideas.. Which they are. I'm aware that they have strict rules that arches and scientists (or protagonists) abide by and I think that's funny when they make the right joke about it.

[@xxDrain]

I just think it makes the whole thing more realistic. I like it.

[@SovereignStatesman]

lasoogneypubes It's a parody on why everyone doesn't just kill each other rather than "take them prisoner." For example, in the first Johnny Quest episode, "Mystery of the Lizard Men," the villains are killing people left and right with a giant laser; so then the good guys get captured, but they're taken prisoner rather than just being killed; and so they're able to escape and beat the bad guys. So the only way that would make sense, is if there was some rule book both sides were following.
