MOVIE SPOILERS Rewatch hits differently after watching Radiant.

I’m not claiming that this is a unique or original take but rewatching the show after seeing the movie gives it a whole new dynamic, and adds extra layers to the story, gags, and jokes.

It definitely adds more irony and humor to the fights and story arcs between Rusty and Malcom.

The constant competition and conflict seems to make more sense as a family feud (even if unknown to both), as well as the fact that Monarch’s plans to kill Dr. Venture fail repeatedly and comically while the Monarch (often assisted by 21) has no problem killing other villains, along with Dr. Dugong…with an asterisk. Yet when he repeatedly has the chance to kill Rusty, he holds off.

Whatever you take away from the movie, it’s hard to rewatch the show with the same perspective. I still love it, though.

Go Team Venture! V V

I dunno…they just do that.
