My thoughts on Dr. Horrible

[brak666]

Let me show you them:

So, Joss Whedon has this nasty habit of doing this one particular thing when he feels the need to shock his audience. Unfortunately it's become such a habit that at this point it's no longer shocking and is bordering on schtick.

Other than that, I loved it. I really did. I wasn't all squeeful and back flippy about it like some of my friends, but I really did like it. I thought the music was great. NPH was a blast. And I did enjoy it. I hope it does well, because I want to see this venture succeed. I really feel that the entertainment industry is not embracing the internet as an effective medium for distribution. I'm hoping Dr. Horrible was profitable and that it encourages others to try similar projects (by which I mean webseries, not online musicals about semi-mad scientists).

I don't know enough about this and it still confuses me where I even find it!

I thought it was okay. Overall I enjoyed it, NPH being the best thing about it. The intense love and squeeing has left me flummoxed. It wasn't all THAT. Like you, I do want things like this to succeed, and for just the reasons you mention, but I'd rather it be a little more worthy of it.

Whedon fans tend to be squeeful about anything he does. Me, I think he has some serious flaws, not the least of which being an incredibly bleak outlook when it comes to the notion of successful romantic relationships. Though I enjoy him overall.
