It was there all along really. Dr. Horrible talks about Penny every once in a while, but it's ALWAYS about his wanting to be evil, and she takes second fiddle. This was evident all along and that indeed should have been our big clue. In fact, I'm sure people saw this, but with it being a fun side-project, it didn't even cross my mind. Though, I should have listened to myself when telling someone earlier this week about the appeal of Joss' work... his ability to tell a story, to humanize the crap out of his story, and to not waste anyone's time with a poorly structured story. This all should have led me to realize the entire "he want this, but he wants this, too" and of course, you can't have both. Not in the land of storytelling, anyway. So I say - Bravo, Joss & co.!

But I respect JW more for doing it this way. It does feel like there is more to the story though, if the DVD sales do well I wouldnt be surprised if there was more to come. I think OMWF worked better as the viewer had moe emotional ties to the character so it resonated more, Dr. Horrible was patchy, with little glimpses of magic here and there.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10504837627251161317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-7152891630134043262008-07-19T11:29:00.000-04:002008-07-19T11:29:00.000-04:00I really was hoping that Penny would be Bad Horse,...I really was hoping that Penny would be Bad Horse, but I suppose this tragic ending will do.
