Actually, this is something that has been baked into the show since season 1. They have always intentionally lifted camera angles, scene set ups, dialogue, themes, and characters from movies, whether it is obvious or not. It’s more pronounced in this season but this is nothing new

Actually, every single character in the show is a parody of another character.
Brock = Doc Savage. Venture = Quest. Orpheus = Doctor Strange.
And almost everything is a reference to something else since the pilot fifteen years ago.
It's not a revelation (Juggly) or something to complain about (Beb)... it's literally what V Bros. is and has been... forever.
I just meant the plotlines are especially all movie based this particular season perhaps a bit more than normal.
Or maybe the movie references are more obvious to everyone this season.
The show is in season seven after fifteen years and slowly approaching 100 episodes.
Maybe people are just moving on.
The lack of advertisement and ratings seems to suggest [AS] has lost some interest too.
Regardless... I'll keep watching.

Jonas and Brock are each influenced by Doc Savage, to end the discussion. I forgot to mention that.
DS looks like Jonas and ORB here -http://adventuresinbronze.com/product/doc-savage-flight-into-fear-softcover/
DS looks more like Brock here -

Again, I'm pretty sure Doc and Jackson mix influences together like paint on a canvas. Shades of many characters may be influenced and informed by numerous things.

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
