I can't believe my Mom thinks this is stupid. Only Joss Whedon can make me feel satisfied, love it, and yet still feel extremely sad and VICIOUSLY ANGRY.
Because it's joss. Come on, when he lets characters be together, it's rarely satisfying; look at Serenity. Anyway, he's a master of tragedy... WOuld you really like it any other way?
@deadtotheworld22 I actually liked Penny, but I agree that a happy ending wouldn't have been nearly as satisfying as Horrible's descent into darkness (mwahahahaha!) More importantly though, it also shows the evolution of a villain. Penny's death was also the death of Dr. Horrible's last vestige of humanity. Once he lost that, he could become a truly worthwhile villain. I agree that I wouldn't have changed that.
This is.. is.. EPIC! I just heard from it and finally could see it (germany). And the end is GREAT! (No not that penny dies) But the drama and what it can cost to get famous and the worst part for me is Penny´s last words. GOD. She notice what a huge Jerk Captain Hammer is, but still she expect him to rescue her. brb gonna cry now.
@W0WPwn3r123 He did do all of that. The ending was showing that he became what he thought he wanted, A super evil villain. But at the cost of what made him human (penny). The part at the end where he's dressed as Billy and not as Dr. Horrible, is him showing that now instead of him being mostly good, but clinging to the dreams of evilness, he's now mostly evil, clinging to the dreams of the civilian life he once had.
The saddest part of this whole thing is Billy had an opportunity in the first act to go after Penny. If he hadn't been so focused on getting into the ELE and thinking that was the way to get her, he would have given up his wonderflounium heist and talked to her and Capt. Hammer would never have met her.
funny how he was trying to warn him about the death ray's instability...but maybe he just didnt want to get hit with awful death energy....which i'm surprised he didnt....in any case...i hope dr. horrible really becomes real...like in the sequel i hear they are planning...and soon

@redblood50 But in the end of course, none of it matters, and it's all just a fascade, and how he's really feeling is what we see in the last part.

@mckeelsy Well, when you shake something up real well (like say, throw it across the room) it can go exlode. Like a can of pop.

It's amazing how, so subtly, you see the life go out of Penny. Then the bewildered look from Dr. Horrible. Great acting all around.
