I've been a fan of Venture Bros. Since the start. What began as nothing more than a silly parody of old weekly action animation and comics soon built a deep and vast lore, and it was hard not to be swept up in it. Of course, through adding that lore and creating it's own universe, came it's own hardships. Cliffhangers and references to past episodes soon took over, and at certain points didn't pay off to the utmost satisfaction of the viewer. Although, after rewatching the series multiple times, I found a lot of the answers I wanted were just buried in subtlety. It was a attempt at giving the viewer a chance to play detective and connect all the dots themselves, but some humor was lost along the way through this new delivery. However, I feel they found their footing again in later seasons and managed to not only ramp up the jokes, but also fleshed out every single character along the way.
This movie was the culmination of all of that. It's obvious that they developed a writing style to balance between jokes and exposition and had the time to really hone in on it. There were some parts where I legit had a hard time keeping up with all the hilarity, while still going, "ohhhhhh, that makes sense." By the way, making sense of anything in this universe tends to take a bit of mental gymnastics, but this finally felt like that exactly how they wanted it.
There aren't many series' that feel like a complete story that I want to watch from beginning to end, over and over, but this finale helped make it one. It's finished, it's hilarious, it's heartwarming, and it's very well-written. Thank you to the writers for giving a proper ending to one of my favorite shows of all time.
