@Ahmed Mazer Ooohh, red queen is good, that also goes with a literature theme. Skullrincess isn't really a pun it's just kind of two words mashed together, in general I think "Princess of Nightmare" seems more like a subtitle than a name (think if her henchmen announced her as "Scarlet Skull, the Princess of Nightmare" at an event or negotiation or something).

I mean, if we want more horror literature we could do Rose Madder, that's a Stephen King book, although that's a tad more obscure. I mean, I had asked my horror nerd friend and even he had to consult wikipedia to come up with that one.
Tbh im pretty sure he killed most of his if not all his enemies by then. So 1 last loose end lol. This was the final arch before they settled as councilmen and women for the guild. So in a way adds another layer
He legitimately broke Brock like he was a glow stick. The worst part is Brock can't do anything about it. If he acted out there, then he breaks Guild law and gets killed by whatever stuff they got, all while Red Death himself is a frighteningly tough match for him. So he's just sitting there with his pants down looking like a fool...in front of the entire Council.
"How long do we have till they regain consciousness?" Never ceases to amaze me how: A) People fuck up quotes on something they just watched and can literally replay as many times as they feel like and B) How the fucked up quote gets so many likes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There needs to be a spinoff. The design of the character is so strong and well-conceived it's just a tragedy he's only in a few episodes of one program.
I can see it.... A combination of a noir film voiced by the actor and a heartwarming family show making wild shifts in tone while keeping the best of both worlds. A good idea.
There is technically one out there, but the character is a lot different. The show was known as Frisky Dingo. It focuses on a white giant humanoid with a fat son and conquering the Earth while driving it into the Sun. Not exactly as complex or nuanced, but he's enjoyable. His name is Killface.
@@jayjay86443 Frisky Dingo was a great show! But Killface wasn’t quite like Red Death. It was just him and his son, and no wife. His son of course being as gay as a tangerine.
Pretty sure that seeing the massacre of Movie Night is what started Red Death on his path of leaving corpses. Up in the air whether its from trauma or awe. Im betting on awe.
Oh no, he was always bloodthirsty. It's just that this mission was one of his first BIG ones. Not the same where his first arch drove under his skin to where he killed him, his family, and demolished his house. It's gotta be messup #3. First was killing his Arch, second was implicitly killing his first family because he failed to separate work/life, and third was Movie Night. Notice how young his wife and kid are. Clearly this wasn't his first time raising a family. As long as that piece of the past is buried and only with Monarch, he's fine.
@@bgill6623 He implies it when discussing his past with Monarch, but it isn't necessarily confirmed like other things. He claimed that it was a grave mistake to have the two (His work as a Villain, and his family and personal life,) so close together, and that he "made that mistake once, and that I won't make it again." Personally, my theory is that he didn't kill his first family, but rather he drove them away because he couldn't turn off his Villainous Persona. He probably let his lust for killing consume him and ended up scaring his first family away.
@@HerpDerpTheTank i agree red death is a cold blooded killer but he's not an animal. More likely than not he let his last family see his darkside far too much.
Clancy really gets to flex some of his vocal range in this role. The light, pleasant family man voice, the standard villain voice, and the pants-shittingly scary demon voice.
That's what I appreciated about his Lex Luthor as well. He had so many modes, the smooth-talking conman, the smug egotist, the growling thug. Very layered character.
At first I thought Dr. Killinger refused The Monarch a seat at the guild b/c he disliked him or something but know I understand that Killinger knew that he wasn’t made for bureaucracies of the Guild of Calamitous Intent. Red Dead on the other hand is more then willing to put aside arching to support his family.
Not to mention Red Death murdered the very man he got into arching for. He only continued to Arch because the system allowed him to kill without consequences. I bet he was classified as a 10 the very moment he applied for arching rights and really narrowed down the level 10 protagonist list since then.
Red Death is my favorite character. Clancy Brown was perfect in the role which isn't surprising given his performances as Lex Luthor and The Kurgen. Also he did the "special skills" bit better and more terrifying than Liam Neeson.
the fact that they canceled the show really saddens me red death is one of my favourite antagonists in all multy media not getting another season where i can see his charecter juggle the vilain life and the parent life juggle his allof, hardworking and kind personality, and his slaughter boner having classic 90s edge villain side ... it makes me sad to not get to witness this again

no pe and in all fairness it wasn’t that big of a cliffhanger!

The show has lost some steam as time has gone on, but less than one might imagine. And this late-stage entrance of one of its best characters is pretty impressive. The switch from family man to ultra-villain and back just keeps being hilarious. Even when you know it's coming, you never know WHEN it's coming.
I really like how he says he’s a fan of the Monarch. He is a professional, he has a body count when it comes to arches, but he still appreciates the classics and creativity of arching, no matter how small the villain and still shows respect.
Dude literally loves the Gentleman Villain archetype, the traintracks the big ticking timebomb. Monarch? Hed make the clock bigger than the bomb. Hed tie Rusty TO the clock.
@@StagFiestayou know those old clocks that had the character of a tv show use their arms as the hour and minute hands. The monarch would do that to rusty but for real.
I think Red Death is the closest character in this show to being perfect. He's a professional super villain, yet he understands the game very well and he's a loving family man. Red Death has a good and healthy relationship with his wife and daughter. Both heroes and villains respect and fear him. Red Death actually has his life balanced and unlike other characters he has a healthy and happy life.
Can we just all take a minute and appreciate how he used the peril of something making a ticking noise against a man who is blind but can hear amazingly? He wouldn’t be able to hear a digital clock. Hence the train. The vibrations from the train and the sound being the way the guy sees would leave him unable to tell if the train was on this track or the other track. And this would be all the more perilous for him because of his superpower. The way the red death handled this was truly poetic.
I actually heard someone else point out that it was more the opposite, where it's more he knew how far the train was and which track it was on, hence able to hear the clock tick so to speak, knowing how much closer it is with his super sense he was bragging about before, either way he gets poetic across nicely
Can we all just take a moment to love how the red death is a evil sadistic murderer, but at the same time he’s a loving husband and father who keeps his wife and child extremely happy that’s amazing
Just realised something terrifying. If Red Death's kid looks like him that means 1 of 2 things: 1. Whatever caused Red Death's appearance to be what it is is genetic and hereditary. 2. He did whatever caused his appearance to change to his daughter and his wife was ok with it.
I'm definitely going to have to go with option one when we see red death with his daughter she's much brighter shade of red than he is almost like he's worn physically but when we see him in the 80s with his gang he's nearly the exact same shade of red as she is
Unless a slim but hopeful chance for season 8 giving us a similar character. Red death is the closest to being a full fledge darkseid kind of villain. Immensely powerful, respected/feared both by protagonists & antagonists, a earned himself a place of great status and a voice with no need for a filter because it is awesome enough already.
When Clancy Brown voices a villain he makes it an art. Though can't help but wonder does he have it in his contract or something that he has to do a character character that's red? Also Red Death is way too good of a character to just be on the show. He needs a comic. I don't care if it's DC, Marvel, or whatever , just get this man a comic. Maybe add in Professor Victor Von Helping/Hellfire as his protagonist. It be an interesting pairing. They'd have epic battles and then have a coffee later.
Yes to this!! Especially if they did a story about him taking down Professor Cadmium; maybe he even had a "lab assistant" hench that later introduces Red Death to his future wife Kate (this isn't my headcannon or anything lmao xD)
Red Death and Dr. Doofenschmirtz are the two best villains ever devised in fiction. They are sufficiently evil while also being able to sustain a home life
Ohhhh !! Totally recognize his voice now: I’ve binged Carnivalé and podcasts about Carnivalé. And he was legit scary in Highlander when he took that hostage for a drive…
I just love how he can go from causal fun loving married man/dad to a villain who won't hesitate to kill your entire family,mail their decapitated heads at your work while hacking the cameras to see your utter shocked expression. Red Death is just awesome!
When I listen to Red Death talk about Lila and her rain boots, I can’t help being reminded of Hank and his Batman costume. It’s especially heartwarming for long-time fans.
2:48 Funny thing, despite how evil he is during work, he didn't litter. I think he finds little stuff like that petty and not becoming of a professional villain.
You Know this isnt too far off on how mob bosses and gang leaders act irl. A lot have the ability to switch their modes that easily. I guess that's just one of the perks of being able to control empathy
@@Atylonisus i think it would be here given the actual profession he's in, red death may seem insanely evil, but at the end of the day, he follows guild regulations and rules, as well as understands the value that comes with them, so really him "controlling" his empathy is just him doing his job.
You ever wondered how Red Death met his wife? What kind of person she was or is? "Guy who looks like he was skinned alive? No lips, no hair, no eyelids? I want me some of that" I mean huge props to her for looking past his looks but...How? Truly, behind every level 10 villain there's a level 10 wife.
"...And here we go, with the killing and the screaming and blood spilling and a nice LADYYY!" "Honey, maybe you shouldn't talk about work when our daughter brings her new friend Jason around?" *Canned laughter* "Well, I just think it would interest him to know what I do for work. You know. In case he wants to get serious with our raggamuffin?" "DAD!" "Mister Death, sir? I think I'm just gonna go" *Canned laughter* "Why so soon? Dont you wanna try the brownies? They're to die for." *Canned laughter*
You know, it's REALLY telling that for Red Death's "Final Arch", while everyone else had someone from their past or their longest running foe to face, Red Death had some guy that rubbed him the wrong way maybe a few days ago. Why's that? Because he killed every other Arch and foe he had ever had to the point the only one left was someone he just met. And seeing what he did to Blind Rage, it's not hard to see why.
I mean, if arching is more of an art, just don't do anything to actually piss him off and you should be fine. Obviously nobody wants him as an arch, but it also creates a bit of pride; he's the best of the best. Being seen as his equal is an honor, in a way.
I love how he's probably one of the most genuinely evil characters and the most wholesome character at the same time. This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters
I love that this world allows this man to be such a wholesome father and husband who has no secrets from his family, while still pursing his passions on a professional level.
I wonder if Batman exists in this universe, he's been mentioned so much, maybe we can have an arc thats dedicated to Hank trying to meet his role model
This is the ideal. When your in character your a force of nature, when your on the job your a professional and when your at home, you do your damndest to make it work. But always have class.
3:06 I can watch this clip all day on loop. Red death knocking out that loud mouth peacocking Chad, dude, bro was the best thing ever. Literally everything I wanna see from television.
I love how Clancy Brown cycle thru his full vocal range for Red Death; goes from dotting father to heavy bad guy to full-on sociopath super villain… and back again. He doesn’t get the full respect that he really deserves.
I think Red Death is a fine exemple of classic villainy. He has honorable bad guy standards, he's a great parent, and despite being scary, RD is one heck of a great character!
I Like to think that Red Death is the result of Lex Luthor merging with Darkseid and the anti life equation in the last episode of Justice League Unlimted.
"Show time!" "You want some brownies in there, too, cuddles?" "Brownies? Yes, thank you." That part is what I love about adult-focused animated stuff; you can bounce between serious action and death and all that and then to wholesome sweet moments in the blink of an eye way more naturally than you ever could in a live action setting, almost no matter how good the actors are. Also, I agree, brownies are the SHIT, no matter how much you're ready to go and kill a mf, there's always time for brownies.
I do think its very funny that Red Death is probably one of the best depictions of how to do a villain who is layered as a person. You know red death is a monster. But at the same time you can see how he cares about the people around him even through his attempts to calm down the monarch. Reminding him that he can be a better person, but if he doesnt well...Hes red death for a reason.
8:45 a nice little easter egg for all who missed it! the back of the magazine laugh riot is holding is advertising a 1987 Nissan STANZA, The same car #24 picked up #21 in and saw throughout the show!
Honestly I think Red Death is the BEST at being a villain. He’s intimidating, he’s terrifying, he’s precise, he knows his history, he’s got his entire aesthetic locked IN. He’s so professional it’s AWESOME.
What people don't get about Red Death is that he is the first one to validate The Monarch's hatred for Rusty. We had so many villains mock the Monarch for his antics, but Red Death does not try to get him to stop. He's encouraging him. "Finish your mission, and then change your ways".
@7:46 "Mister Fahrenheit, super sonic man" Eric (doc hammer) cant help himself, he has to fit in as many music references as he can into every episode.
The Guild was full of them. It's a holdover from when Phantomas was recruiting musicians to be in the guild and also to accompany his sousaphone playing. Red Mantle and Dragoon were Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. Once they got the date right, we saw them just before they were about to board a certain plane with The Big Bopper.
He wasn't around long but he was one of my FAVORITE characters in the whole show. Goodbye mighty Red Death, you and all of Venture Bros were taken before your time...
Clancey Brown is one of those actors that I will cry when we finally lose them. He is the voice of many a memorable villain and Henchman and Red Death is just a culmination of all of that insanity, dread and pure evil.
That man has the whole work/life balance thing nailed.

If Red Death's kid looks like him that means 1 of 2 things:
1. Whatever caused Red Death's appearance to be what it is is genetic and hereditary.

Yeah when i first saw him before season 7 aired I wanted him to appear more but also get a chair on the council
I like how whenever he gets all scary and angry his eyes go yellow
Unless a slim but hopeful chance for season 8 giving us a similar character.
Red death is the closest to being a full fledge darkseid kind of villain.
Immensely powerful, respected/feared both by protagonists & antagonists, a earned himself a place of great status and a voice with no need for a filter because it is awesome enough already.
When Clancy Brown voices a villain he makes it an art. Though can't help but wonder does he have it in his contract or something that he has to do a character character that's red? Also Red Death is way too good of a character to just be on the show. He needs a comic. I don't care if it's DC, Marvel, or whatever , just get this man a comic. Maybe add in Professor Victor Von Helping/Hellfire as his protagonist. It be an interesting pairing. They'd have epic battles and then have a coffee later.
Red Death would definitely be a solid for for DC ngl
he really does do a lot of red characters doesn't he. just to name a few he has Mr. Krabs, Red Death, and Montross. kinda funny
You know he voiced Lex Luther in Super man the animated series, Justice league and justice league unlimited?
Yes to this!! Especially if they did a story about him taking down Professor Cadmium; maybe he even had a "lab assistant" hench that later introduces Red Death to his future wife Kate (this isn't my headcannon or anything lmao xD)
His Lex Luther is Amazing
Red Death and Dr. Doofenschmirtz are the two best villains ever devised in fiction. They are sufficiently evil while also being able to sustain a home life
Just a dude trying to provide for his family, nothing wrong here
The Monarch and Red Death have something great in common: they’re both Family Men.
Clancy Brown, hell of a VA. Conveys so much in his roles with just subtle changes of tone.
Ohhhh !! Totally recognize his voice now: I’ve binged Carnivalé and podcasts about Carnivalé. And he was legit scary in Highlander when he took that hostage for a drive…
1:48 she IS wearing rain boots inside. Details are spot on
Red Death didn't make evil an art form, but he made sure EVERYONE understood the art.
He manages to be not only terrifying, but justify the ridiculousness.
The fact Red’s Skull’s parody is actually somehow wholesome is hilarious
I just love how he can go from causal fun loving married man/dad to a villain who won't hesitate to kill your entire family,mail their decapitated heads at your work while hacking the cameras to see your utter shocked expression. Red Death is just awesome!
"How long till they regain consciousness?"
_"Um.."_
God. Red Death is badass but he's adorable at the same time.
Red death: You know, I'm not sure, but that would be a neat trick.
One of the best character in venture brothers also add points for Clancy Brown awesome acting
the speech at the train track really gave me chills
It is difficult to make a Super Villain so scary and yet so wholesome at the same time--but this guy is living proof that it can be possible XD
When I listen to Red Death talk about Lila and her rain boots, I can’t help being reminded of Hank and his Batman costume. It’s especially heartwarming for long-time fans.
2:48 Funny thing, despite how evil he is during work, he didn't litter. I think he finds little stuff like that petty and not becoming of a professional villain.
*"Professionals. Have. Standards."*
Be evil be a good husband and father and never ever liter
Clancy Brown going between incredibly wholesome family man to terrifying madman is such an excellent thing and such a great choice for VA work.
7:50 I love how Mr Farenheight is Freddy Mercury, in a clear reference to "Don't Stop Me Now" as one of the lyrics is "They call me Mr Farenheight."
I'm having such a good time enjoying this fun little music reference. I'm having a ball.
You Know this isnt too far off on how mob bosses and gang leaders act irl. A lot have the ability to switch their modes that easily. I guess that's just one of the perks of being able to control empathy
If empathy is controlled, is it really empathy?
"This thing we do"
@@Atylonisus i think it would be here given the actual profession he's in, red death may seem insanely evil, but at the end of the day, he follows guild regulations and rules, as well as understands the value that comes with them, so really him "controlling" his empathy is just him doing his job.
You ever wondered how Red Death met his wife? What kind of person she was or is?
"Guy who looks like he was skinned alive? No lips, no hair, no eyelids? I want me some of that"
I mean huge props to her for looking past his looks but...How?
Truly, behind every level 10 villain there's a level 10 wife.
I totally want a Cosby Show style spinoff about Red Death.
"...And here we go, with the killing and the screaming and blood spilling and a nice LADYYY!"
"Honey, maybe you shouldn't talk about work when our daughter brings her new friend Jason around?"
*Canned laughter*
"Well, I just think it would interest him to know what I do for work. You know. In case he wants to get serious with our raggamuffin?"
"DAD!"
"Mister Death, sir? I think I'm just gonna go"
*Canned laughter*
"Why so soon? Dont you wanna try the brownies? They're to die for."
*Canned laughter*
@@DashingSteel Yes, exactly.
She instantly knew what kind of man he was on the inside.
*_Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff._*
Looks don't matter so much as charm and passion. And Red Death is charming and passionate.
You know, it's REALLY telling that for Red Death's "Final Arch", while everyone else had someone from their past or their longest running foe to face, Red Death had some guy that rubbed him the wrong way maybe a few days ago. Why's that? Because he killed every other Arch and foe he had ever had to the point the only one left was someone he just met. And seeing what he did to Blind Rage, it's not hard to see why.
The villain you're afraid to arch you but at the same time, a guy you would love to have a beer with.
I mean, if arching is more of an art, just don't do anything to actually piss him off and you should be fine.
Obviously nobody wants him as an arch, but it also creates a bit of pride; he's the best of the best. Being seen as his equal is an honor, in a way.
I took his advice of separating work/life balance to heart. Words to live by.
Same , all separate, and balanced as all things should be
I love how he's probably one of the most genuinely evil characters and the most wholesome character at the same time. This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters
I love that this world allows this man to be such a wholesome father and husband who has no secrets from his family, while still pursing his passions on a professional level.
I feel like even if the characters are terrified of him, they're all sort of rooting for him too. He's the best of them
God I love this guy, he's just the perfect villain; loves his job, but keeps it away from his family life.
1 part wholesome and 3 parts terrifying.
I can bet that red skull is jealous of him.
Red skill was really a cosplayer all along.
I wonder if Batman exists in this universe, he's been mentioned so much, maybe we can have an arc thats dedicated to Hank trying to meet his role model
Its like our world where he is fictional.
There's probably a knock-off version
If Batman existed, he’d probably wonder why there’s a Red Skull knock off who sounds like Lex Luthor.
If the series were to move forward, it would be only a matter of time before Hank morphed into The Bat.
There is a Batman in universe his real name is Henry Allen Venture.
1:22 “Yes! Thank you!” That was so genuine. I loved it.
1:20 I know it’s played for laughs, but come on. Who doesn’t love brownies?
I mean…yeah! 😋
This is the ideal. When your in character your a force of nature, when your on the job your a professional and when your at home, you do your damndest to make it work.
But always have class.
Whoever wrote the space death descriptions really knew their shit
Single most disturbing thing in the series to me
3:06 I can watch this clip all day on loop. Red death knocking out that loud mouth peacocking Chad, dude, bro was the best thing ever. Literally everything I wanna see from television.
Red death's "uhmmmm" after being asked how long the ppl would be unconscious will always crack me up.
Clown in a Space Station? and they expected things to go right?
Red Death is one of the few characters who i can safely say is absolutely amazing every time he's on screen.
I love how Clancy Brown cycle thru his full vocal range for Red Death; goes from dotting father to heavy bad guy to full-on sociopath super villain… and back again.
He doesn’t get the full respect that he really deserves.
He's great dad and husband
Hey tha stanza!
Just imagine him laugh like a pirate
I think Red Death is a fine exemple of classic villainy. He has honorable bad guy standards, he's a great parent, and despite being scary, RD is one heck of a great character!
When Red Death dives into monologues, it reminds me of the scene in the movie Shark when Captain Quint talks about the wreck of the USS Indianapolis
It's intentional. The entire episode that monologue comes from is a Jaws reference.
Clancy Brown goes from terrifying to wholesome in a second!
I Like to think that Red Death is the result of Lex Luthor merging with Darkseid and the anti life equation in the last episode of Justice League Unlimted.
Love how when they were doing their super mashups they went: "hey what if we combined Red Skull with Vision?"
Mr. Fahrenheit. I’ve never noticed.
Feels like both Red Death and Mr. Krabs have something in common. They’re both red and both voiced by the same voice actor.
and Damien Darkblood
from invincible
They are both loving fathers, too.
"Show time!"
"You want some brownies in there, too, cuddles?"
"Brownies? Yes, thank you."
That part is what I love about adult-focused animated stuff; you can bounce between serious action and death and all that and then to wholesome sweet moments in the blink of an eye way more naturally than you ever could in a live action setting, almost no matter how good the actors are.
Also, I agree, brownies are the SHIT, no matter how much you're ready to go and kill a mf, there's always time for brownies.
I bet they were AMAZING brownies.
I do think its very funny that Red Death is probably one of the best depictions of how to do a villain who is layered as a person. You know red death is a monster. But at the same time you can see how he cares about the people around him even through his attempts to calm down the monarch. Reminding him that he can be a better person, but if he doesnt well...Hes red death for a reason.
3:11 Never noticed that they actually named it "Dummy Corp"
8:45 a nice little easter egg for all who missed it! the back of the magazine laugh riot is holding is advertising a 1987 Nissan STANZA, The same car #24 picked up #21 in and saw throughout the show!
Honestly I think Red Death is the BEST at being a villain. He’s intimidating, he’s terrifying, he’s precise, he knows his history, he’s got his entire aesthetic locked IN.
He’s so professional it’s AWESOME.
He's actually right about dying in space!
If you're lucky you lose your breath and just fade away while your blood expands
Clancy Brown performed his lines with his mouth partially opened and a lisp.
The fact that Red death threw that trash on the garbage can. The guy knows not to litter, yet will not hesitate to throw down.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH-oh...hi!"
My God, Clancy Brown was brilliant in this role.
What people don't get about Red Death is that he is the first one to validate The Monarch's hatred for Rusty. We had so many villains mock the Monarch for his antics, but Red Death does not try to get him to stop. He's encouraging him. "Finish your mission, and then change your ways".
9:52 That burn was so hot, the earth’s core froze solid
Imagine if you were so menacing and respected that you could get the attention of an entire room by crushing a styrofoam cup
@7:46 "Mister Fahrenheit, super sonic man" Eric (doc hammer) cant help himself, he has to fit in as many music references as he can into every episode.
The Guild was full of them.
It's a holdover from when Phantomas was recruiting musicians to be in the guild and also to accompany his sousaphone playing.
Red Mantle and Dragoon were Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. Once they got the date right, we saw them just before they were about to board a certain plane with The Big Bopper.
I mean...How can't he? I would to
He is the old man in anime. YOU do not fuck with the old man.
"How long do we have until they regain consciousness?"
"Um."
Well, he's not called "Red Knockout".
That Dummy Corp. neo-deco area rug was impeccable...
Hell yea you came through my boi thanx
He wasn't around long but he was one of my FAVORITE characters in the whole show. Goodbye mighty Red Death, you and all of Venture Bros were taken before your time...
The fact that a fiction, psychopathic villain has a better relationship with his family than most real life people.
I have to believe with every fiber of my being after seeing the diner flashback that red death is the Kurgan
God red death is one of the best villains i can think of. So calculated and calm. Just an awesome character.
If you watch this guy's best of each season, you don't need to watch any of the other best ofs...
Clancey Brown is one of those actors that I will cry when we finally lose them. He is the voice of many a memorable villain and Henchman and Red Death is just a culmination of all of that insanity, dread and pure evil.
I kinda half expected him to say a highlander line like "I severed his head and raped his woman before his blood turned cold!"
RD "I very much like to kill"
Dr GF "We get to break in an oversized dummy corp."
RD "And kill"
OSI dummy corp.
oh I never noticed that he gets Sheila’s chair for her when she sits back down in the diner, that’s sweet
