Pretty cool intro to set up the new status quo.
I like the "comicy-ness" of taking all the different elements of spy stuff Brock has dealt with and turning it all, cliche, into "one big conspiracy".
But since Sphinx is just the Venture-version of G.I. Joe's Cobra, and it's now made up of ex-OSI (ex-G.I. Joes) ... they're all terrorists now?
It took me a second to figure out the CGC rating flashback narrative structure, but once the punchline came at the end it was pretty funny. But here's hoping episodes from now on go A-to-B rather than Z-to-D-to-A-to-Y-to-wherever-the-fuck. Because the new status quo looks like it's going to kick ass. No more saftey net so the boys will grow up. Hank takes after Brock. Dean takes after Venture. 21 mourns. Orpheus slays Nazis. Sgt. Hatred tries to cure his temptation of little boys by being bodyguard for two of them.
And of course, the preview for the next episode - that super-hero Monarch talked so much shit about coming back and beating his ass! - too funny.

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
