Anyone else remember that the first promo image of season six was Rusty Venture dressed as the Blue Morhpo? And we had that video with Watch & Ward discussing him as a highly dangerous and wanted operative.

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WL4XfBTCe0

Because I do, and it makes me wonder.

Seems like the Monarch frames Venture (as the Blue Morpho) and picks off villains ahead of him in line to arch Venture.

I figured it out, yay!

Wait, nix the 'frames Venture' part.

Him and 21 are causing chaos picking off villainy.

Why I thought that was Rusty in the wanted poster as the Blue Morpho is beyond me... it's clearly the Monarch.

Damn, they really do look exactly the same.

My thought is that Rusty and Monarch are twins. Jonas nailed Blue Morpho's wife. She had twins and they agreed to share them.

I like to think the monarch is the kid actor who played rusty in the old show, cause you see a different bucktoothed kid in a flashback in some episodes.
that would explain him waiting for some cash to settle in (highschool flashback episode, child actor laws), their dads being friends and the monarchs sure rusty knows this, who probably doesnt.
who knows maybe acting it was as traumatizing as for rusty.

btw copycat is obviously working for wide whale AND wide wale is the brother of the Manitee guy dr dugong, who the monarch killed, quite brutally. so wide whale is out to get the monarch, maybe he'll not give a fuck about hank dating sireena.

I too believe Wide Wale secretly wants revenge on the Monarch for the death of his lame brother... but he probably wants the Guild as well.

The old show was a cartoon--drawn in a slightly different style.

I could be mistaken, but doesn't Rusty get confused (early on) and references his own show as a live-action series? I believe this was done on purpose to show how out-of-touch Rusty really is.

I feel Doc and Jackson have addressed this before in some of the various commentaries. And I know they also discuss how Rusty gets his real life adventures mixed-up with ones from the Rusty Venture show.

If there was a live-action show, we haven't seen anything from it yet:

No, I just meant Rusty gets confused.

He confuses his real life with the cartoon and vice-versa.

He gets confused, forgets its a cartoon, and mentions his real life as the show he's famous for.
