Dr. Horrible

Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog was hilarious! Dr. Horrible is a cast aside villain with a heart and Captain Hammer is a loved super hero with a huge ego. AKA he is a massive jerk. There are two big conflicts throughout the blog. The first being Dr. Horrible's quest to get into the Evil League of Evil, and also his fight against Captain Hammer for the girl of his dreams, Penny.
It seemed to be a good versus evil plot. But in my eyes, the line between good and evil was blurred. It was designed for us to love the villain. I loved Dr. Horrible and felt like punching Captain Hammer.
This tragicomedy was definitely more on the comedy side. The comedy enhanced the tragedy. And for me, without the comedy, the plot/story would have been completely stupid and pointless. The humor made the tragedy.
The way that Dr. Horrible was different from what I have read in Waiting For Godot, was that Waiting for Godot was heavier of the tragedy side in my mind. It has more of a sober comedy to it. For example, the part about them hanging themselves, but the weight difference makes it improbable. Vladamir is heavier and would supposedly break the branch and therefore would be alone because he can't hang himself without the branch. "Didi heavy-bough break- Didi alone."
So the humor isn't as in your face as Dr. Horrible.
The ending for Dr. Horrible was also very abrupt; kind of sad. Penny gets killed and Dr. Horrible is blamed. As a result of him being blamed he makes it into the Evil League of Evil. Your not really a villain without killing someone, which Dr. Horrible wouldn't do, so he got credit for a murder he didn't commit, and got into the League.
So in the end did Dr. Horrible get what he wanted? To get into the Evil League of Evil and becoming a true villain. Or is all of that void because the women he loves is dead?
