The story line of the whole show is depicted through the evolution of the music. You go from such cute, sweet songs like Freeze Ray, then through Dr. Horrible's epic sort-of-almost downspiral into darker things, to this :( Such a mood change. I never saw Penny's death coming.
This song gives me freakin' goosebumps! It's so amazing, but it always makes me feel like my heart is dropping. It's just a masterpiece(hell, the whole movie is a masterpiece)!
Who doesnt cry when they listen to the lyrics?? Now that Penny's gone, there's nothing keeping him from going completely insaine anymore. But now that penny is gone, he's in the ELE. so the line "Here lies everything The world I wanted at my feet" Means "All i wanted was Penny. But she's gone, so i can be evil.....But i want penny"
@spotcat87 i mean that because viciousmeow said make the whole world Neil and the actors name is Neil, and i think it's more serious too, im just saying that viciousmeow saying that was his joke, not the songs.
@ivysshadow Just because of who it is should not make it mean one thing or another. Neil is a great comedian, but I personally believe that this song is more serious than not. Just remember, even the joker can have a frown.
I love this song. Every time I listen to it I feel like I'm gonna cry. It's just so sad, even when he's walking around in this crazy mad scientist getup and there's all the crazy villains from the Evil League of Evil.
"and I wont feeeel (cut music, back to his old hide out) a thing" it's like you understand the whole story then in the last 2 seconds they pull the rug out from under you. was any of it real? did he just make the whole story up? did he create the song before he became super evil? is he schizophrenic? its great
@pkingsleyisback It's real. When he said "a thing" they really wanted to leave an impact on everyone on how lonely it sounded. Billy started hiding behind Dr. Horrible to hide his feelings of sadness, and would only come out when he knew he was alone. Poor man was broken apart...
Anyways, to leave this on a happy note, they're making a sequel! :D
I also really like how Captain Hammer pulled the trigger without a second thought whereas Dr. Horrible couldn't actually bring himself to kill someone. Reveals a lot about the characters and their true souls. Beautiful story indeed.
I like how this musical shows that a happy ending can't be ensured by success, heroism, or even a positive attitude. Dr. Horrible got the world he always wanted, but he lost Penny, the girl he loved, so he's unhappy. Captain Hammer was a "hero," but he wound up needing a shrink at the end. Penny's perpetual optimism didn't save her from leading a (from what I understood in the musical) sad life, dating a douchebag, and dying tragically. Tragic endings are possible for everyone.
I hears ya mak, Dr. Horrible's intent was in the right. The path leading to it wasn't. Capt. Hammer had not the right intent but his actions were for the benefit of society. Tis a tragedy indeed.
@yahuaa You said exactly what I thought about those characters. Hammer did the right thing, but for the wrong reasons, Horrible did the wrong thing but for the right reasons.
@EmperorofCartoons Not to mention that he actually cared about Penny, whereas Hammer saw her as just another girlfriend to have sex with once or twice and then toss aside...and also, it's sad...Doctor Horrible didn't really kill Penny, but everyone saw it as his doing, and because of that he got into the Evil League of Evil. Technically, Hammer killed her, though, when you think about it.
Joss Whedon You Wrote My Life... if only i was a singing space cowboy fighting vampires and corporations like the dollhouse all while trying to get penny. oh and toy story apparently.
Don't worry, Captian Hammer will save us.
