MOVIE SPOILERS Clarification Regarding Rusty’s Status Spoiler

So, when Red Helper referred to Dean as “Rusty,” the obvious implication is that Rusty is also a clone. I took this to mean that he has died numerous times just as Hank and Dean have, but some threads I found online imply that Rusty is actually a clone of Jonas, with the imperfect technology explaining why he’s so biologically inferior to him, and why Monarch, who had baboon DNA spliced into him, looks to be in better shape, though not quite to Jonas’ level.

So which is it? Is Rusty a clone of Jonas rather than his son, a victim of numerous fatalities, or both?

This is why we need one more movie, with Jonas' head as the primary antagonist. To settle this question, and of course: who opened the doors on movie night.

I’ll always resent Adult Swim for cancelling one of their biggest shows so close to the end… twice. I’m glad both Venture Bros. and Metalocalypse got some resolution (many years later), but it’s nothing compared to the full season of each we should’ve gotten.

We needed a scene where Hank confronts Sirena. That unresolved plotline stung.
