  • Apparently this ending means that because his goal was to have the world at his feet, and Penny was the world to him, then all he ever needed for his goal to be complete was her death. I reckon that's true, but ridiculously sad :(

  • looks like dr.horribles everything cost him a pretty penny

  • Well that was pretty fucking depressing. Good show.

  • Penny appears to be attempting to smuggle parts of the death ray in her body. She's not doing a very good job of it.

  • @NinjaTrixxr I KNEW SHE REMINDED ME OF SOMEONE

  • SOMEONE MATERNAL

  • This is how I interpret the ending (correct me if I'm wrong). Dr Horrible is Billy without humanity, happy he got into the ELE, but that small piece of him that's still Billy is insane with guilt for the loss of Penny

  • @iDontHaveTwitter That's how I see the ending as well, except the part of him that is/was Billy didn't go insane. Instead, I think Billy is (metaphorically speaking) brain dead since Penny was the only person that kept that part of him going. Now, Billy's just a shell of what he was while Dr. Horrible is out showing people that he really has a Ph.D in Horribleness. In a way, it's like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde style story, but with Neil Patrick Harris being purely awesome.

  • THAT RED SUIT IS SO SEXY

  • Does Penny remind anyone of "Amelia Pond" from Doctor Who?

  • um? can someone explain the ending to me? im confused

  • @imasupastar11 The lyrics are "and I won't feel..." cuts to lab "a thing." This is inferring that Dr Horrible is unhappy with who he has become and what it took to gain entrance to the Evil League of Evil.

  • @loginlover oh thank you!

  • Did you guys notice that if Billy hadn't showed up, Penny probably would've dumped Captain Hammer, because she was about to leave, while he was singing the song, and Dr. Horrible might have had a chance? Well, he did need to kill someone to get into the Evil League of Evil and it was a pretty good time for it, but still... just sayin'. :P

  • 4 people actually cared about penny dieing

  • Funny how he almost die in obscurity as Doogie Houser, than out of nowhere became like my favorite actor of all time

  • :'C

  • Knowing Joss and I know he always kills a main character! First Tara, Spike, Anya now Penny! DAMN IT JOSS!

  • @horses529 and there is Wash in Serenity most ill timed of all

  • @eksiclown Oh I forgot about her! And Joyce. Jeeze Joss.

  • @horses529 what else has he produced that i might be able to see

  • omg i cant wait for the sequel

    

  • best homework procrastination ever. and also an amazing film. love nph!

  • wow, that was MUCH better than i expected

  • Joss Whedon is a genius! Now, if only other people would take his cue in creating something this great and accessible to the public WITHOUT a writers strike going on... Not gonna happen - thanks Congress (SOPA/PIPA)

  • the only thing i heard was "make the whole world Neil"

  • DEAR LORD! The leader of the villians is Sarah Jessica Parker!

  • Makes me cry every time

  • Ok so. Why is there a horse ?

  • @Milithryus He's the thoroughbred of sin.

  • @KholdSeraph89 Cue singing cowboys.

  • What? I...

    I didn't even realize it'd end just there.

    Just... a smack to the face.

    That was impressive...

  • NOTHING WILL EVER BE OKAY AGAIN ;_;

  • F***ing tragic. D:

  • Someone should upload 0:06-0:12 by itself so that if you ever feel the need to flip someone off, you just link them that video. :)

  • @MuphrysLaw agreed. There's a few people I would send it to daily

  • See you think he'll use the freeze ray to get her to the hospital and cured in time, but then that doesn't happen and you're like, but.. happy ending? QQ

  • Man.

    I think i need to sit down now...

  • ok look at 00:15 then go on to where he aims the guns and dr.horrible. that is a mistake. first the shooting side is facing the correct way. when he aims it at Neil Patrick Harris. its facing the other way. what the heck?

  • @slayerrye It was never facing the wrong way. It broke when it hit the ground earlier when Dr. Horrible fell.

  • @FleshEatingUnicorn yea it was. right before he aimed it at dr.horrible the shooting part was facing the right way. then when he points it down it facing backwards.

  • @slayerrye No it wasn't. I even discussed this with some friends. I may not convince you but I know that I am right.

  • @FleshEatingUnicorn u dont know. you think. if we cant agree then stop talking. besides why did you comment anyway. you people these days think you have to try to prove everybody wrong. and i clearly see that mess up in the movie you may not see it but i do. so su please. thank you for your irritation

  • @slayerrye you piss off a lot of people ryan...

  • @ItsQuin DUMBASS DONT SYA MY NAME

  • Dead Bowie. Played by Jed Whedon. Never noticed that until the end credits...I had to roll back to be sure. OMG such genius. (Also, Dr. Horrible is my cure for (in)sanity.)

  • OMG I CRIED THAT WAS SO SAD AND IT WAS ALL CAPTIAN HAMMERS FAULT THNXXX

    Make another plzzz I Love you NPH

    You Did Awesome

  • SEEK VENGANCE DOCTOR! DESTROY THE HAMMER YOU HAVE CRACKED!

  • She sounds like Aniken's mom when he finds her tied up...:(

  • noooooooooooooooooooo i lost my penny

  • Grr! Arrgh!

  • I cried... wow..how can it just end that way? NPH did an EXCELLENT job at this. that was really great. I'm so impressed.

  • @Erikaradke12 dont worry, these a sequel coming out

  • @deathwombat1 oh reallly? thank god! i can't wait! :D

  • @Erikaradke12 yeah joss whedon is working on it, hes been busy with the avengers lately

  • Such a fucking good story, it acheives more in roughly half an hour than a hell of alot of movies do.

  • Was tht it? Is there more? SomeOne PLEASE tell me there's more?!?!?!?

  • @aimeeisAWEsOME14 theres a sequel that will start production soon, joss whedon is a little busy with the avengers movie

  • Mood Whiplash much?

  • 0:07 nice sound nathan

  • I think perhaps the most heartrending moment in this musical is NPH's face when Penny says "Captain Hammer will save us."

  • I ordered the comic on Saturday :D should be getting it on Wednesday :) excited! :D

  • This was absolutely wonderful work on everyone's part; I trust there will be more to come, I hope.

  • @stmahlberg yep there's promise of a sequel in the works. it was announced a couple of days ago.

  • @TVlover014 where was it announced? i tried to find that info but i couldn't. so please tell me :)

  • @4am2berlin lol go to dragon con, i had felica day say it to my face

  • @deathwombat1 whaat? o_O

  • @4am2berlin Dragon Con, its a convention for nerds held in Atlanta georgia, felicia day is a regular guest there, this year i met her and she confirmed the rumors of a sequel

  • @deathwombat1 oh okay, cool that u met her! i wish i could go there, only thing holding me back is that i live in finland so the distance is quite long :D

  • @4am2berlin im sure you can find a similar con near you

  • "It's ok. Captain Hammer will save us."

    The most tragic pair of sentences I think I've ever heard! Absolutely beautiful. Joss Whedon is incredible - Buffy, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible are all amazing.

  • its so sad...I haven't cried this much since david tennant left doctor who!

  • @spethyisinasubmarine Both were very emotional scenes. Hard to compare though...

  • Joss Whedon. Why do you delight in murdering females in your work?

  • Also, NPH and Nathan Fillion owned those roles.

  • That was just plain good entertainment. Funny, sad, catchy music, great acting from all involved. Joss Whedon is the man. :)

    If he can do this with what looked like next to no budget, The Avengers should be a-frickin'-MAZING.

  • it killes me how much he was so sweet and in love with penny then when penny dies at the end hes so heart broken and numb its SO MOVING AND SAD its insane but so amazing he got what he thought he wanted but not what made him happiest he wanted to rule the world WITH penny now he has the chance to rule it but shes gone so it doesnt matter anymore ;(

  • AAWWWWwwwwWWWWWwwww that's so frikken sad.....

  • god joss you always kill the best person in the show!spike,paul now pennny

  • This scene isn't sad at all once you've seen it a thousand times...*tears streaming down my face*

  • i so just noticed that captain hammer flips dr horrible off when he finishes the last note of the song XD

  • @vesse96 I like how he's singing "waaaaaay" while he does it. I lol'd.

  • Until this part, it's pretty easy to forget that this is a story writen by Joss Whedon. I should've known better.

  • PENNNNNNNNNY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love it, such a Greek Tragedy ending. :)

  • what was penny's last words?

    captain hammer .............. something something...?

  • @noelleskiable she said "its ok, captain hammer will save us" sad

  • @Crazymagus13 oh man :'( that makes it even more depressing.. </3

  • It's so sad how he says, "A thing"

    Basically saying now no matter what he does,kill someone,ruin a life,break a family, he won't feel a thing, he knows that this is how other villlains feel because they are heartless as he has realised he is becoming therefore must join others to take over the world and show them that the world is unfair as his life always was...SO SAD THOUGH =(

  • NO PENNY!!!!!

  • GAH! SO FRIKKIN SAD!!!!! SO SO SO SAD!!!!!

    SO SAAD.

    I'm actually crying now and it's horrid. This thing is so damn moving. I need to go and have some ice cream. now.

    GAH!!!!!

    sad.

  • @ChocoToothpaste I agree

  • Whoa. Comedy to tragedy in seconds.

  • She fuckin died! What?! I'm so heated by the ending.

  • Now Dr. Horrible is here, to make you quake with fear, to make the whole world Neil... ;)

  • The first ten seconds of Captain Hammer

    ...WAY!

    He had to finish his song lol

  • why does the gun explode? i never got why that happens

  • @mrmebs Cause Horrible's inventions always suck, for example, is freeze ray needed to warm up, so Hammer and the Police beat the crap out of him.

  • @comicbookprodigy995 ahh fair enough

  • @comicbookprodigy995 Dr. Horrible's Death Ray explodes because it malfunctions after it hit the floor when Captain Hammer punched him in the face. He sees that it's malfunctioning when Hammer points it at him and tries to warn Hammer not to fire it but he get's interrupted.

  • @DoomTrooper33 Wow, very well analyzed.

  • i lold so hard when i saw that crazy horse was literally a crazy horse

  • @panaz31 its BAD horse, gettit right! and he literally rules with an iron hoof!

  • The transformation of Dr.Horrible is amazing. Him putting on the red suit shows how he has actually become evil due to lack of real things to care about. Dr.Horrible is now a real villain. Terrifying.

  • This is the kind of ending that is powerful and haunting. I was expecting a corny comedy love story and got rocked emotionally. Well done.

  • I'm Crying So Hard.... But It Was Awesom Tho

  • The ending is always so hard for me to watch.

  • I never understood the last like 10 seconds where he gose from the league to this house

  • @324oyr He says: And I wont feel a ....thing. It shows him at his house living his real life when he says the word thing so it gives us the idea that he actually has emotions still inside him, and he is suddened by the situation he got himself trapped into.

  • @r4dio4ctive saddened*

  • i get goose bumps when i hear penny's voice in the song everytime

  • Incredible series. Good job guys.

  • Poor Dr. Horrible, the love of his life's last words were praising his arch nemesis.

    I'LL COMFORT YOU!

  • "captain hammer will save us."

    Most depressing line EVER.

  • :P the Evil league of Evil have the best names ever

  • I LOVE NEIL PATRICK HARRIS! First he was Dougie Howser, then Dr. Horrible, and now he's in COMPANY! (my fav. musical) He just gets more and more amazing!

  • @minimoygal Don't forget hes also Barney the most legend......................ar­y guy in the history of legendary guys

  • Poor Billy.......

  • this must be what pain feels like!

  • I just realized at 0:11 Captin Hammer flips him off. Hm. You learn something new everyday!

  • @StarfishBeard13 hahaha I've seen this like 50 times and thanks for pointing that out!!!

  • Dr. Horrible <3333

  • Ahaha. I love David Bowie at the end

  • This is the most tragic story ever!!! But so good. Loooooove Neil Patrick Harris! <3 :)

  • NOOOOOO! NOT PENNY!!! D;> why? whyyy!!!

  • HOW ON EARTH DID A HORSE GET INTO THE EVIL LEAGUE OF EVIL???????????

  • @IAMTHEPIGG Bad Horse is the head of the ELE, they talk about it in act 1.

  • i gotta say i think Neil might atcually be bisexual, all the roles he's doen even after coming out and gettign a husband, he's stil lusualyl going after A girl or is the woman crazed party boy

  • wow Badhorse is actually a horse

  • @GundamDeathScythe11 i said the exact same thing xD

  • The ending would have been perfect if it didnt jump back to him at his lab! It means nothing and was just put there at the end to screw with everyones minds. Im going to pretend it was never there

  • Happy Birthday Joss Whedon!!!!

  • People are getting 'confused' because in the ending he says 'a thing' as he's dressed in casual clothes. Seriously?!

    People love their conspiracies so, don't they? It's unlikely to be his fantasy, there's no reason for it to be fantasy AT ALL! He's simply come home from a hard day at the office and changed into his NORMAL clothes, which he sports regularly throughout the mini-series as it is...

  • SOMEONE MATERNAL!

  • Joss was making a sequel to this but it got delayed due to the Avengers movie, still probably going to happen some time in the close future though!

  • Howard can't pick up at parties in his own universe. What makes him think that he'd have more luck in one where he stands in Neil's shadow?

  • Oh my God! SO SAD!

    My only issue is there is not more...

  • @Guitar1nHand They are working on a sequel, might be another web-series or a full movie I think

  • @barnensbb Are they? I would so love that! Because I heard Joss Whedon might not do a sequel now he's doing the new Avengers movie.

  • @Guitar1nHand Yeah, he is focusing on that movie right now, but he said that it still could happen

  • @barnensbb Awesome, I really hope it does happen because this is awesome! :D

  • I don't usually like musicals, and I watched this under duress, but surprisingly, I loved this movie. It's on Nextflix, btw..if you want to see the whole thing at once.

  • NPH looks especially sexy in the red suit if I do say so myself. :P

  • Can't wait for the sequel!! :D

  • wait.....the ending confuses me

  • i love that "don't even think about it" stare at 3:18

  • thumbs up if you were dissapointed when you realized the last two and a half minutes were all just credits

  • Am I the ONLY one who doesn't get the ending?

  • @Rolfamagoo

    I took it as it's showing him keeping up with the blog, and how emotionless he is without the woman he loves.

  • @Rolfamagoo The ending is extremely odd, but it's pure Whedon. There's a parody song floating around called "Alive and Well's Not an Option" about the nasty things Whedon tends to do with couples who finally seem to get things right. Trying to give a cliff notes version, this is an epic fail. Dr. Horrible gets what he wants most - entry into the league of whatever villians via killing Penny. But, he is also planning on setting out to destroy the very idea of justice without feeling any remorse

  • @wynndwolfsong Pretty much. Dr. Horrible gets into the Evil League of Evil, but he has to become exactly what he was fighting against - a symbol of oppression and terror. He wanted to become a villain because the system is broken and heroes never really change anything. He just wanted to do it on his own terms, elegantly, without having to kill anyone. The whole character development of Dr. Horrible is very similar to Greek mythology, especially heroes like Orpheus (i.e. ends with epic failure).

  • @ObsidianKnight90

    Was that an intelligent comment, related to the subject of the video? On YOUTUBE!?

  • @Dubhuir Good lord, I think it was! The comments section is supposed to be nothing but trolling and retyping funny lines from the video. Whatever is this world coming to?

  • @ObsidianKnight90 This is new and scary! I don't like it!

  • @ObsidianKnight90 wow way to read to far into something that has a high chance of not having anything to do with the connection u made, congrats u've just wasted ur intelligence on youtube, bet u feel proud by responding to a teenager wit hnothing better to do

  • killed by a fucking shoe

  • So I've seen this movie like 20 thousand times, and the end still confuses me. Is it trying to show that none of it ever happened?

  • @Avadat First I tought you would be

    A genius. But wrong. He needed the wonderflonium for the freeze ray, not the death ray. (He built the deathray not immediately because it was too Jonny Snow)

  • @Mephisto342 not neccesarily earlier before the big ending fight he was modifing his stun ray and before he set out he relabeled it Death Ray, so while he might of needed soem for the freezra yhe used the rest i nthe death ray...watch ur movies closely before postign nxt time

  • @GundamDeathScythe11 There is no relation between the modification of the Stun Ray and the Wonderflonium. He modified it because he had a change of mind, and wanted to kill Cpt. Hammer. The Wonderflonium ist just needed for the freeze ray. Your theories have no proof.

  • The important question, does the death ray explode because of a construction fault, or because of Cpt. Hammer who's using it the wrong?

  • @Mephisto342 The death ray exploded because it bounced when Captain Hammer hit Dr.Horrible. In Act 1, Dr.Horrible is stealing the wonderflonium and the container says "Do not Bounce." thus, the explosion.

  • With this song, He made the whole world NEIL.

  • it says that all similarities in characters are purely coincidental however one of the ELE is named dead bowie and looks like a zombie david bowie, not quite sure how that isn't clearly intended

  • it's castle!

  • soundtrack please.
