Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

This short film was very interesting to say the least. At first, I though I was watching a bunch of malarkey, but as the film progressed, I realize there was a reason for everything I was watching.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, is not a sing-along, it is a comedic musical with serious undertones and meaning. Dr. Horrible is a man smitten by love of the beautiful Penny. For the longest time he has seen her in the laundry mat, but no words (that the human mind can comprehend) seem to ever come out.

It is known from the very beginning that Dr. Horrible is a villain and wants to be the best of the best. In order to do so, he has to kill someone. The Doctor prefers to kill, his arch nemesis, the extremely rude and sarcastic Captain Hammer. In one incident, Penny is in danger and although Dr. Horrible does save her, Hammer gets the credit and the two fall in love. This fuels the Doctors rage which gives him even more of a reason to kill the Captain
.
In the final scene, Captain Hammer get’s the credit for opening a homeless shelter, a task Penny has been hoping would pass. The Doctor comes in and freezes hammer with his “Death Ray” and causes havoc among the town hall homeless celebration. His gun back fires, explodes, and kills Penny. He finally get’s what he wants, the recognition, and respect, but it means nothing because he killed the wrong person, his true love.

The film was very intriguing because it showed the villain, Dr. Horrible, as the protagonist the whole time. If you weren’t paying attention to what he was saying, you wouldn’t realize it until the end. It’s wasn’t hard to make the mistake either; Captain Hammer was a horrible hero and didn’t deserve to be respected.
