History Recap / TheVentureBrosS3E10TheLepidopterists

* {{BFG}}: The room-sized "late 60's ultra death ray" built into Spider Skull Island. Brock gushes over its specifications and admits to being jealous of not getting to use it.

Shortly after, the Pirate Captain informs JJ of a "knock at the front door." The Captain answers the door but is immediately tranquilizer darted by two men in suits. They introduce themselves to JJ as Mr. Doe and Mr. Cardholder, two specialists from the O.S.I. They introduce themselves as "Lepidopterists" and that they are there to help with JJ's "butterfly problem." They bring in Brock, who is an expert on the matter. They explain to JJ that it isn't wise to piss off the Guild by killing his arch enemy, since this little game they play keeps the heavily armed psychopaths with private armies from committing real crimes. They then begin to formulate a plan to deal with the Monarch, using the giant "late 60's ultra death ray" Scaramantula originally installed on the island.

* CargoShip: Played for laughs with Cardholder and Doe's "appreciation" of Spider Skull Island's death ray.

-->'''Doe:''' And I'd jeopardise our friendship by nailing your hot wife.

* DisproportionateRetribution: JJ doesn't feel like "playing make believe" with arch villains like his father and brother, instead wanting to just outright kill the Monarch.

-->'''Dr. Mrs. the Monarch:''' Is there a reason you always use #21 and #24?
-->'''The Monarch:''' I know it sounds crazy, but they both have that rare blend of "expendable" and "invulnerable" that makes for a perfect henchman.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Doe and Cardholder, though despite working for the O.S.I, are closer to ThoseTwoBadGuys. [[spoiler: This is a bit of foreshadowing to the season 4 revelation that they are actually [[TheMole moles]].]]

The {{Stinger}} reveals that JJ actually fired harmless into the clouds, as the "dark s-seven" maneuver completed by henchman #1 created an illusion of the Cocoon in JJ's security system. Since that counted as an attempt to kill the Monarch, he is now free to go back to arching Rusty Venture.

** Ventronic is based heavily on ''Anime/Voltron.''

Shortly after, the Pirate Captain informs JJ of a "knock at the front door." The Captain answers the door but is immediately tranquilizer darted by two men in suits. They introduce themselves to JJ as Mr. Doe and Mr. Cardholder, two specialists from the O.S.I. They introduce themselves as "Lepidopterists" and that they are there to help with JJ's "butterfly problem." They bring in Brock, who is an expert on the matter.

They then begin to formulate a plan to deal with the Monarch, using the giant "1960s laser death ray" Scaramantula originally installed on the island.

While JJ, Brock, and the agents prepare the death ray, they notice the alarm going off in the museum. Brock rushes off to deal with it while JJ prepares to shoot down the Monarch's fast-approaching Cocoon. Brock finds #1 and chases him down, defeating him in a fight (and presumably killing him.) 21 and 24, meanwhile, successfully hid in a museum display of other supervillains. They also run into the Pirate Captain, now strung out on tranquilizers.
