Dr. Venture was most likely on drugs at the time he said that line about not caring, most likely ecstasy. Coupled with the fact that they've had to resurrect them 13 previous times would indicate that they're not entirely worried about their death simply because they know they can just bring them back.

And the only "they" that cut your comment off is whatever submission system restriction there is on database insertion. Try keeping your comments to just that, comments, and not writing a freakin' article.

But everyone always knew Hank and Dean weren't normal. That provided half of the comedy of the first season. Episode One involved organ harvesting of Hank and Dean for the comfort ( not survival ) of Dr. Venture. He only needed one kidney. Dr. Venture just knew that eventually they would get killed, and he would have to clone them again. The whole humor of the show is what if the Hardy Boys/Comic book universe where inhabited by heroes who weren't that heroic ( Dr. Venture is a selfish and wormy, Brock is a borderline psychopath ) and the villians are sometimes more kind and sympathetic than the heros ( The Monarch feels sorry for Dr. Venture once he gets into the Venture compound and apologizes for the Hank and Dean hit to Hank and Dean ). In "The Tick", the heros were simply morons and the villians also morons. In this show, the reversal is complete ,which makes it funny. The heros are somewhat villainous ( Dr. Venture will do anything for a buck ) and the villians are well almost normal people ( hence the soap operish moments between the monarch and dr. girlfriend ). Stop overanalyzing and ENJOY IT!
