I think its pretty epic foreshadowing in the line where he says, "Because the dark is everywhere and Penny doesn't seem to care that the soon the dark in me is all that will remain".
A friend and I are going to do this song for our talent show... I'm doing the Doc's part. She's going to repeat Penny's lyrics twice instead of changing them at the end and we're doing it as sort of a comedy thing... So I get to be depressing and she's all cheery and we have a musical disagreement. Should be fun.
@SongsJerome I think that near the end of the story she did have feelings for him, she really needed him as a friend... She just never saw him for what he was.. But anyone who thinks Captain Hammer is "sweet" really can't understand how anyone is on the inside xd
@Joee003 Hammer isn't sweet. Horrible was sweet, he stopped the truck from hitting Penny and she didn't notice. This is one of the fewer musicals that tells the truth about the world we live in.
@MegaPictureShow You may be confused for a random kid rebelling for no reason, but then again, the judges might just know awesome when they hear it! Good luck!
This is my favorite song. The minor chord just makes it so intense you can't help but get it stuck in your head (in the good way). My sister hates Dr. Horrible but this is her favorite song of all time lol!
Everytime I watch the Singalong Blog, I get the impression that, ultimately, it's Captain Hammer's fault that Dr. Horrible became truly horrible. He taunted Horrible into making the gun, he thwarted Horrible's weaker schemes at every oppurtunity, he misfired the gun that murdered Penny. Which always makes me rewatch TV shows and reread books. Like the original Rumplestiltskin wasn't a bad guy, he saved that woman three times and she wasn't the tiniest bit grateful. And he's still the bad guy.
@Fealthas2500 I absolutely agree. "Good" guys don't always do the best deeds, and can in fact create the very evil they say they are preventing. It can be really fun to read a book from two three or even four different perspectives and try to gain an insight as to how one person might think they're doing good, while others think they're evil and vice-versa.
As much as lovely penny is, she is just too perfect. Its impossible, she has no flaws other than being really naive. She is benevolent, caring and kind, to too many people. Its just unrealistic.
@Xenterex Thank you for pointing this out to the people who don't get it. Dr. Horrible shouldn't be taken at face value, it's actually quite deep, delving into perception of emotion rather than one or the other, the realities we create for ourselves.
This is my personal favorite of all of the Dr. Horrible songs. The lyrics are awesome and very well-written. But what I love it for so much for is for how Neil and Felicia sound together here, particularly from 2:23 on. Just perfect.
there are places where you can comebine both their lyrics and get something funny, like 'how the world's filled with filfth and wise' and it makes no sense lol
@FuzzMD She's sort of supposed to be. We're seeing her from Dr. Horrible's eyes, and he believes her to be perfect. Because of this, we only see a one dimensional character. Of course, I really know nothing about Felicia Day, so it could be that the reason they chose her for the role is because she would look flat compared to the other characters.
