The Monarch accidentally kills his father’s corpse when the PRO.B.L.E.M, to which BM was attached, flies across Columbus Circle to Tophet Tower, crushing Vendata. In a bit of kindness from the original Team Venture, they stay silent about Rusty’s accidental dismemberment of his father’s corpse. Gentleman slipped on the plastic horse Rusty left on Gargantua-1. After Jonas’s body was rescued from the vacuum of space, his body was dropped by Team Venture after Col. Jonas’s and the Blue Morpho’s sons aren’t doing any better. For two characters we’ve only seen talk in flashbacks, both actors are capable of further defining these characters in only a few scenes.) I really felt sympathy for The Morpho for whatever reason, he gave up his successful vigilantism to help a “great hero.” In response, he gets shit on. Tompkins (The Blue Morpho) and Paul Boocock (Jonas) deliver fantastic performances in the flashback/mind-meld sections. He demands Rusty implant his mind into Venturion, not caring that the “friend” he loved so much that he brought back from the dead would be killed. He didn’t.)Įven post-death, Jonas returns to his paternalistic straight white super-scientist privilege. Jonas could also have put his “friend” in the PRO.B.L.E.M. The Morpho’s and Malcolm in the wreckage. (If Jonas was able to find the The Morpho’s body, it would also be likely he could have found Mrs. Jonas doesn’t even bother to stop Vendata’s plans - he just walks away. Even when The Blue Morpho/Vendata held Jonas’s life in his hands on Gargantua-1, Jonas dismisses Vendata’s concerns straight out.
The Morpho’s actions weren’t due to some loyalty to Team Venture or the side of righteousness Jonas blackmailed him with the secretly-recorded sex tape from “Rapacity in Blue.” Because of one dumb mistake from the family-minded The Morpho, Jonas was able to take Kano, possibly impregnate the vigilante’s wife (or at least gave her a “thorough examination”), and jury-rig his corpse into a quickly-abandoned invention. Jonas was a condescending prick to Blue Morpho, giving Morpho the most dangerous and humiliating work that Jonas wouldn’t dare stick his fingers into. And after watching this episode, I think the Blue Morpho is one of the most sympathetic characters on the show.
He was also the “great man” Kano killed that started his vow of silence. He was also the same person that opened the pod bay doors on Gargantua-1 during “Sharkey’s Machine,” killing Jonas. The Blue Morpho is Vendata who is the “father” of Malcolm “The Monarch” Fitzcarraldo. Let’s get the revelations out of the way. (See Rusty’s therapy sessions, Rusty’s 16th birthday party, etc.) Tonight, we find out that Jonas’s behavior wasn’t just directed at his son. When Rusty started to doubt the myth of Jonas Venture, The Great Man, Jonas went out of his way to emasculate his son. He treated his son like a novelty he quickly grew tired of. He was an arrogant and self-absorbed father to Rusty.
