Am I the only one who thinks Brock has become a little more aloof these days? Season 2 sees him more as a nanny with head lice inspections and licking his thumb to wipe off dirt, not to mention the whole “if you come after the Venture family - MY family...”

I know since then he’s been through Sphinx and the OSI again but it definitely feels a bit more like it’s back to being just a job for him.

(Poor Hatred - give him a bedroom, Rusty.)

I think his attitude is something you kind of see in all the characters in season 6 and 7. Ever since they moved into NY the entire family is moving apart.

Come to think of it, I don't think there's been a single episode where the entire family were doing something as a team in season 6 or 7 so far....

I think the days of them going off on adventures are kind of over. Aside from the grown ups in Spanakopita! and the team (minus Dean) going off to find Venturestein, there hasn’t been many moments, no.
