Dude.
I have no words. Just a stunned expression and a definite desire to buy the DVD.

Date: 2008-07-20 01:13 am (UTC)It was wonderful. Geeky and the songs were catchy (my favourite is definitely "With my freeze ray...") and Bad Horse was an actual HORSE! It was silly and ridiculous and great.
And, okay, the ending wasn't what I expected but Dr Horrible was a geek who'd chosen to go bad. He wanted social change but he wanted acceptance (from the Evil League of Evil) and revenge (over Captain Hammer) more than he wanted to do good. He wasn't a hero, didn't act like one, and therefore it makes narrative sense.
Also, if you think of superheroes and villians, this type of backstory is pretty damn common, so I'm amazed that none of us were expecting it.
