This movie is the same premise as Megamind, but the difference is that no one wins.

[@jackshintaku4965]

this is how megamind should've ended or at least megamind not ending up with the girl

[@libRteedude]

Yeah, Megamind was a much more optimistic take on the "supervillain questioning his role" story. The main difference was that Metro Man had those same doubts behind his arrogant facade, while Hammer really was a jerk. Basically the personality of the hero determined how the villain ended up (Megamind became loved and a hero, Horrible became miserable as he sunk deeper into villainy).

[@nelsonchereta816]

"This movie is like Megamind? So what's the difference?" "PRESENTATION!!"

[@Tzizenorec]

@@libRteedude And Megamind had two "heroes": the actually quite good one who bowed out [possibly because he realized he was wasting his time fighting someone who had a good heart and was just playing evil?] and the replacement who was a pretty obvious fake.
It didn't all depend on the hero either: Megamind started out in the role of "maximally villainous" and learned during the story that he was free to leave that role. Dr. Horrible was very aware of his good qualities, and was consciously _working toward_ that villain role. (And you can see that Dr. Horrible is still very far from ceasing to be a good person at heart, but the ending promises that his commitment to the "evil" role means that things will keep getting worse for him for the foreseeable future.)

Whoever wrote this song is a genius. The riff from 2:02 to 2:19 is the same as Brand New Day, aka the song where Billy made the decision to kill Captain Hammer. This song is straight up saying to Billy "Careful what you wish for."

[@leerv.]

Definitely my favorite part. I'm a big fan of progressive music, and bands like Dream Theater (or way back, Pink Floyd) would do this sometime, return to a melody introduced in another song. It feels like a reward for the listener, carrying you back to a prior feeling. That part of the story coming back again; it was real and it informs where we are now. That sort of sensation of recurrence.

[@briancreegan827]

It is also the Bridge from "Bad Horse".

[@arandombard1197]

That's called a motif, it's common in musicals and concept albums to recur ideas, themes and characters.

[@greasedlightning333]

Just another thought, it's very evident that many of these lyrics can be taken in several different ways. When Horrible says "now the nightmare's real, now Dr. Horrible is here" it's almost as if he's talking about his nightmare. I know that "everything he ever wanted" was to get into the ELE, but deep down, Billy was a good guy. And Penny- a good girl. She was in reality the one thing keeping him good and not fully going evil. At any point he could've killed someone and gotten into the League, but didn't. When Penny dies, that last thread of good in him is severed. And, while Billy 'leaves' Dr. Horrible is fully here. Making him fully evil, and thus His own nightmare a reality. Just a thought.

[@yuvalinbar1921]

I actually think that the most prominent example of this are the opening lines: "here lies everything, the world I wanted at my feet". Was the world he referred to really the ELE, or was Penny, now lying at his feet, his everything and the world he wanted?

[@themmangobois3530]

The sequel comic says otherwise.

[@starshinedropkick2668]

Billy is still there. At least, I think so. But Billy is utterly defeated, crushed and wrung out for everything he has, all the once-vast goodness in his heart. So he tries the other thing he's good at; being Dr. Horrible. He's a supervillain whose mask has become their face, doing what he knows how to do because that's all he has left for him.
Billy is still in there, he just can't do anything but sit in his head and watch what happens next. He isn't even watching his world unravel- that already happened.

[@thomasfrazer8934]

Except you're forgetting that like with pie there is a bottom flakey layer underneath the second layer. Billy is still there down under doctor horrible. In pain.

[@maximumnyoom7123]

Don't even get me started on the very first lines, "here lies everything, the world I wanted at my feet"

I feel that what made Billy snap isn't Penny dying but rather that even in her last moments she didn't see him as he was but that his archenemy was her savior...

[@josephine4s]

Maybe. I think that at least contributed a lot. I wonder how this syncs with the line where he says he doesn’t want penny to witness him killing Captain Hammer, though.

[@elleryhorton44]

also, Captain Hammer wasn't able to save her and he might even blame Captain Hammer for her death.

[@jdunlapmusic]

If you listen to the lyrics, it's not that at all. It's the fact that his victory is hollow without Penny. He even went into detail in the first song about how he wanted to share the world with her when he won.

Yep, that was consistent. It was Horrible who was worried about Penny almost being hit by a van, about her feelings, about her as a person. Captain Hammer was only interested in the weird stuff and getting more credit and glory for helping the homeless. The supervillain was the one who cared and the superhero was the one who was selfish and egocentric.

[@KnightB172]

The way that Billy was looking around right before he started to sing made me so sad. The way he shrinks away from the cameras, how he looked so... lost. Like for a moment he was just a scared child, terrified about what had just happened, and what would happen next.

[@shyguypro9876]

The shot near beginning where the camera pulls back as he says "And I am fine" to show just how lonely is is so good. Same with that final shot where he says "a thing".
He's so so empty and lonely but at this point he has basically nothing except his villainous ambition.

[@themuffintree]

"The world I wanted at my feet"
She's at his feet. Oh boy.

[@julesfoster3289]

I was thinking about this movie, and something occurred to me.
I think this tragedy was inevitable.
If Dr. Horrible succeeded in killing Captain Hammer, Penny wouldn't be able to forgive him. If Captain Hammer won, well, obviously. And with this, Penny died.
But it was inevitable he'd lose Penny if he continued his path. He just would've lost her in a different way.

[@jesscarrier4180]

I agree. There were turning points along the way at which he could have taken a different path (mostly notably the moment when he chose his heist over going back to talk to her again), but this path only led to losing Penny. He deluded himself that "her tears will dry when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia" but it's pretty obvious that's just a delusion. Penny liked Billy, she would never have been interested in Dr Horrible.

[@tefweebz]

[@sunsetter3334]

I’d like to discuss the choices of how his coat colour changed from White to red with black gloves. White can be taken as a peaceful and good guy colour and after joining the ELE, his colour changes to red because he fully recognizes himself as a villain with no redemption and the black gloves probably represent how he sees that his hands are tainted with the death of penny.

Pyrrhic victory at its finest.

[@charlieinslidell]

Dr. Horrible's immediate words after Penny's death is his 'victory speech' ontop of a dirge-like song, the words refer both to his conquering the world, what he needed to get into the ELE, as well as losing the true world he wanted (Penny). What he WANTED and what he NEEDED together, thus the phrase 'Everything you ever....' keeping it ambiguous. He lost what he really wanted with Penny and he thought he needed to get into the ELE to win over Penny's heart. Being in the ELE is no longer what he really needs but now he has to go through the motion.
When you think about it, the Evil League of Evil could actually all be the good guys in that universe. When you look at their design and names, they all don't seem that threatening at all. Fake Thomas Jefferson? Dead Bowie? Fury Leika? (a bride that was wronged), and a horse. And to me, when Dr. Horrible walks into the room with the members, they seem sympathetic to him, as if they know he just lost a possible love interest over entering the League.
Then when you look at Captain Hammer, he's wearing black as opposed to Dr. Horrible's white. His actions are self-absorbed. He even admits that he isn't good. In a certain line right before he uses the death ray, "Give my regards to St. Peter, or whoever does his job BUT in hell," meaning he knows Dr. Horrible will be going to 'heaven' and not himself since he won't be present in heaven to give regards to those that are there. Plus Hammer has no problem pulling the trigger, not even showing sign of the hesitance that Dr. Horrible did just previously.

[@OtomostheCrazy]

Hat about Tie-die?

[@blara2401]

I think it's more interesting to consider that Hammer doesn't think of himself as bad. He's too self-absorbed to realize he'd be doomed to Hell, or to see any of his behavior as villainous. He truly thinks he's the greatest guy on the planet, and besides, in this world, any nerd is automatically perceived as a villain - so he did his job in making that prediction come true with Billy.

As sad as this is, the reprise of "Brand New Day" as he enters the party always gets me pumped and the anger he shows in the last few lines makes me think he took revenge on the other bad guys, blaming them for Penny's death. Like the instant that door closes, during that cut there is a moment where he activates a death ray and just WASTES everyone else in that room.
And Bad Horse explodes right at the end.
Still sad, but also a bit of fun.

This movie is fun but also very tragic, i feel like he is not fully evil. Because at the last shot he seems so sad and regreting that he accidently killed Penny. Still this whole movie Feels more like a begging into some big show or movies perhaps. The first two acts Feels like fun and for a while even the third one, i honestly Thought that it will end up Happily but at the end i was heartbroken and couldnt stop Feeling bad for Billy and knowing that he regrets it, and still hoping that there is some good in him

[@bananaboatcharlie]

Agreed! He's not a bad person, he wants to fix society and make the status 'more quo'. Unlike Penny he thinks the only way to do that is take down the system. But because he pursued that rather than actively choose Penny and choose hope, he pursued evil and revenge, he loses his link to hope. He inadvertently causes his own tragedy.
