Just think a lot about the end of the Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. How throughout the series, Hank and Dean kind of figured they were unwanted pregnancies, but the truth is that Rusty very much wanted them. He carried them himself and designed their toys and all that. He's still a shit parent, but he still wanted them and loves them and like, damn. (And is still probably a better parent than his own dad and that could be a whole ass essay if I was good at writing those).
the movie is like probably as perfect as a send off they could have made within the time limit. I loved it so much.
I am a Rusty hater (I dont actually hate him he's hilarious he just sucks 😭) but Rusty right at the end telling Dean that their mother loves them very much and then the reveal that they didnt have a mom it was Rusty who purposely went out of his way to have kids and become a father alone with a machine made me like him x10 more than I did. Like stfu before I start CRYING. I thought he got a girl pregnant and was like fine ill take care of these kids but the reveal just hit me very deeply. Like he still is kinda a bad father but he really does love them, he really wanted to be a dad.
Also jail time for making canon Rusty Mpreg TWICE.
I love that mantilla wanted Sheila so carnally that she shot her husband to the moon just to try to say 'hey like WOULD you hit?' only for Sheila to go 'not if you were the last person on the fucking planet' mantilla is truly the fail lesbian we all needed
Been on a Venture bros kick since watching the movie on Prime video & I still think this part from the 5th ep of the final season is one of Rusty's vest moments (while still being very Rusty Venture about it)
He's still a shitass parent & absolute wet cat of a man but grounded enough to see thru the veneer of BS in situations like this (at least in later seasons)
