Love the ending. Reflects on his previous quote about pie when penny is describing Captain Hammer, when Dr. Horrible basically says that the third, deeper layer is what they truly are. On the outside, he is Billy, and inside, he WANTS to be Dr. Horrible. But as we see on the last word of the song, although he is Dr. Horrible on the inside, an innermost layer of him is still Billy. Hurt, sad, Billy.
I found it...not sure what the word is but it startled me when she said "don't worry Captain Hammer will save us", for some reason I expected her to say something heartfelt towards dr horrible. *shrugs*
I loved this and the songs, but I'm not gonna lie, I was shocked at the ending. Call me dumb, but in the direction it was going I didn't expect the story to take such a dark turn.
Am I the only one that thinks that half the reason that Penny's death broke Billy so much is that her last words were "captain hammer will save us" that even as she dies she picked Hammer over him. That he realizes he was never going to have her.
I just love how this ended. I simply adore how he couldn't even choke out her name or say anything at all. Neil did simply a fantastic job as did the rest of the cast. Long live Dr. Horrible! :)
After Penny's death, Billy only knows pain. The only way to endure that is to let the Dr Horrible persona - the evil supervillain who made it into the ELE - take charge. But I assume this is only an illusion, in order not to come to terms with the sheer cruelty of fate. But somewhere deep inside Dr. Horrible, the best part of Billy must still exist, and maybe he will come to the surface again, once he no longer needs Dr Horrible's skill "not to feel a thing."
Believe it or not, this is the 'happy ending.' Because Bad Horse told him if he didn't kill, he would be killed. He didn't kill Penny, but no one knows that, so in the end... He lost the girl but he gained the two things he needed most. Independence, and the status he aspired for. Don't feel sad for Dr Horrible. This is everything he wanted.
What an incredible ending... It is a real punch to the gut; I never imagined the film would end in such a cynical fashion. Whedon is some sort of mad genius...
I love this ending! I'm mean the ending ending when he's in street cloth, just singing to his camera. its like what he said about people! You have the outside (billy), then the stronger gooier inside (red dr. horrible) and then a layer just under that, just like the service (billy at the end)
my theory on the ending is that once penny died he realised that he didnt care as much about penny as he did about ruling the world. but when ever it shows him in his lab just as billy it lets us know that his third layer is still billy
why do a lot of people say they cried at the end of the thing... i mean he got half of what he always wanted, but after he says a thing then it sucks it is over but still does anyone know why some people cry at the end of this?
@mouseman1399 Because Billy lost the one thing that he truly wanted...Penny. He loved her and losing her devastated him. We saw just how truly sad he was at the end. She meant the world to him. He may have achieved his goal of being a feared villain, but at the cost of true happiness. Part of the reason he wanted to be a recognized villain was for her.
@ridleyman90 and also, Dr.Horrible was a small part of him, he was Billy. Then, his good side is dead (pretty much) and he's only evil, and Billy was an amazing person
@mouseman1399 Err, due to some people having a soul? He killed the girl he loved. Killing her made him rich and successful, but he still killed the girl he loved. He's put on this mask (or more appropriately these goggles) of being a truly evil and uncaring villain. But he's not and he will be haunted for the rest of his life. That is emotional.
@CoolKidConan1 I think it's saying that the whole time, Dr. Horrible was his suppressed personality throughout the whole thing and he would be his suppressed personality in front of the camera. Also, Penny was the only thing keeping him as Billy. Then once Penny died, Billy became the suppressed personality so that's why he was Billy in front of the camera. Not sure though.
@CoolKidConan1 Personally, I interpret it as how Billy really feels. He finally attained his acceptance as a renowned super villain, but the main reason he wanted it was for Penny, who is obviously now dead by his hand, or, in my opinion, Doctor Horrible's hand. I think the ending is Billy's remorse over everything that happened and what he lost in order to achieve his evil dream. He feels nothing anymore, and all he accomplished is moot to him deep down.
@CoolKidConan1 to me it looks as if he had been crying, so outside of the league and being a villain, so the last line, "and I won't feel__a thing" in my mind is a lie and he still cares deeply about Penny.
@CoolKidConan1 "Billy" won't feel a thing because Dr.Horrible is now in control. Then again "billy" wouldn't likely want to feel a thing because the love of his life, the thing he cared for the most in the world is gone. So the easy way out is to submit to dr.horrible and essentially die himself.
He's talking about the world he wants at his feet, in that he's beaten Captain Hammer and is now basically in control of the world, but also the world he wanted at his feet in the sense of Penny, lying at his feet . :C That's the world he truly wanted.
Excuse me, I am going to go cry into my pillow now.
@smnoy23 Dr. Horrible isn't responsible! He brought the weapon, yes, but who pulled the trigger? It's like saying a robber kills a person with the person's own weapon, and it was the person's fault for owning the gun.
This movie left me with such a weird taste in my mouth... It's really a tragic piece, even if some goofy, funny elements are thrown in. It breaks my heart every time I watch it. :< BUT I LURVE IT.
Any one else noticed that during the film all his 'blog' sections are done with him in his Dr. Horrible outfit then in his every day life he's just Billy where as here at the end we see that Dr. Horrible has become his every day life with Billy replacing him in the blog?
Am I the only one who hears Neil singing "Horrible" in the background during the party scene? It's slightly creepy....yet brilliantly awesome at the same time
@jmluffyetsven It's really the only ending that makes sense. Now he's more evil than he ever wanted to be and the worst part is that he know's it's his fault. He got everything he wanted but the cost was more than he could bare I think, and now who know's what he's capable of. Reminds me of a kind of Mr. Freeze origin. I'd love to see a sequel just to see how bad he actually got.
When Penny died, I was like... A tiny bit of my heart broke, but I didn't feel like she would REALLY die. Cuz they rarely ever let that happen. But I prefer this by far. It's... Ahh. I love it. Just love it.
@jmluffyetsven screw the rest of them, i think it was an excellent way to end it. its so dramatic, despite its plucky and friendliness. i see more serious dramas that cant achieve the impact this little internet musical was able to accomplish
Has anybody else noticed the goggles on his forehead reflect light less and less, until it stops almost completely in act 3? I think it might be symbolic of his purity-they only glint one last time when he's mourning Penny.
I thought there should be more to the ending personally, but I Loved the rest of it :) HUGE fan of felicia Day NPH and Nathan Fillion also Joss whedon that's why I loved it too :)
@jacobrgoods116 "And I won't feel a thing" It shows that he's still human and still "Billy buddy." Dr. Horrible got what he wanted, Billy didn't. It's just showing their differences. Dr. H is in the League, Billy is without his Penny. Make sense?
Doing the blog originally, he was Billy portraying who he wanted to become, Dr. Horrible. A successful, more confident man who can take the matters of his life and ideals into his own hands and make them reality. When he finally achieved that, he realized he lost the whole reason he wanted to become the doctor in the first place, and that he had been better off as Billy. The blog, both times, shows the man he wishes he could be. Just to be Billy again...
With Betty's death, the innocence of everything is gone now, something he isn't used to. Like others said, Captain Hammer always stopped him until now. He didn't want to change the world the way he did, through fear and not peacefully like Betty wanted to. That is why we see Billy at the end. He was heartbroken and ultimately feels guilty for the whole incident
I'd also like to point out the news articles; not one mentioned Betty at all. It just goes to show how much society doesn't care.
It's amazing at the beginning of the scene, his voice hints at how he's dissatisfied and upset that he killed an innocent bystander. He now got what he wanted, but was it worth it to him? He doesn't think it was. But seems how Captain Hammer is now gone, he must fill in the shoes of the dominate role. And with that, his facade goes up and what he viewed with disgust he now accepts, feeling entitled to it as he now runs the show. I need a second comment now. >.>
Seeing Billy at the end is telling. Throughout, we see Billy trying to make it in the real world, and Dr. Horrible doing a blog about how much things suck.
He gets up to a few capers, but he knows they're harmless. He knows Hammer won't let him go too far. Now Hammer's gone, Penny's gone, and Dr. Horrible is free in the world, while Billy is at home blogging about how much things suck.

@jacobrgoods116 "And I won't feel a thing" It shows that he's still human and still "Billy buddy." Dr. Horrible got what he wanted, Billy didn't. It's just showing their differences. Dr. H is in the League, Billy is without his Penny. Make sense?

Can someone explain why at the very end of the song, its just him sitting in his room saying "A thing"?
jacobrgoods116 3 months ago
@jacobrgoods116 He's finishing the last line of the song ("And I won't feel...") and he finishes with saying "a thing".

Doing the blog originally, he was Billy portraying who he wanted to become, Dr. Horrible. A successful, more confident man who can take the matters of his life and ideals into his own hands and make them reality. When he finally achieved that, he realized he lost the whole reason he wanted to become the doctor in the first place, and that he had been better off as Billy. The blog, both times, shows the man he wishes he could be. Just to be Billy again...

Good film but the ending was weird!
birstykarrott 3 months ago
@birstykarrott The ending shows a man who got what he wanted at the ultimate price. it shows a man broken and destroyed by his own determinations.
it's a bit of a "be careful what you wish for" he got what he wanted the most at the price of what was most precious to him.
heartbreaking :'(

I was listening to the music at the end without watching the credits, so that "Grr! Argh!" at the end made me go "What?!"

I admit, this is my favorite movie of all time. The last time I saw the whole thing, I cried when I saw Penny die.

With Betty's death, the innocence of everything is gone now, something he isn't used to. Like others said, Captain Hammer always stopped him until now. He didn't want to change the world the way he did, through fear and not peacefully like Betty wanted to. That is why we see Billy at the end. He was heartbroken and ultimately feels guilty for the whole incident
I'd also like to point out the news articles; not one mentioned Betty at all. It just goes to show how much society doesn't care.

It's amazing at the beginning of the scene, his voice hints at how he's dissatisfied and upset that he killed an innocent bystander. He now got what he wanted, but was it worth it to him? He doesn't think it was. But seems how Captain Hammer is now gone, he must fill in the shoes of the dominate role. And with that, his facade goes up and what he viewed with disgust he now accepts, feeling entitled to it as he now runs the show. I need a second comment now. >.>

Seeing Billy at the end is telling. Throughout, we see Billy trying to make it in the real world, and Dr. Horrible doing a blog about how much things suck.
He gets up to a few capers, but he knows they're harmless. He knows Hammer won't let him go too far. Now Hammer's gone, Penny's gone, and Dr. Horrible is free in the world, while Billy is at home blogging about how much things suck.
