Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog/WMG: Difference between revisions

As long as we're talking about [[Happily Ever After]]... Penny's clothes look specially chosen to make her look markedly like [[Snow White (Disney film)|Snow White]]. Ergo... she's, what, Snow White, who didn't get woken by a kiss, but slept in the enchanted slumber until modern days, and was... woken... somehow... quite possibly by someone who was decidedly ''not'' Prince Charming, hence her unfulfilling life. She's been expecting Prince Charming and hasn't found him yet - even sings about that - and this provides us with one of two obvious endings:

* First, by having sex prior to True Love's Kiss, she has broken the magic that enables all [[Disney]] heroines to find True Love and live [[Happily Ever After]]. Hence, it was {{spoiler|[[Death by Sex]], and a just death too}}; had she managed to wait around long enough ''without'' losing her [[Virgin Power]], she'd be fine and in Billy's arms right now.

* Second option: No [[Death by Sex]], but she's still waiting for True Love's Kiss to wake her. She might be {{spoiler|dead}}, in which case some extraordinary efforts will have to be used; else, she's simply comatose (which isn't ''technically'' "sleeping"). So this story will be completed in the sequel when Billy finally gives up "everything he's ever wanted" while trying to raise her; finally, in despair of ever undoing the damage he's done, he'll kiss her corpse in final parting (much like a certain current animated [[WALL-E|movie]]). This love, for which he has given up money, fame, respect (even self-respect)... this love, which prompted Billy to forsake The Evil League of Evil even on pain of death (so now they're after him, and he's in hiding with Penny's body)... this love which has more than proven its redemptive capabilities will bring Penny back to life. (Heck, X-Men never shied from adding a little magic on top of the super-hero stuff.)

** [[Romeo and Juliet|And she will wake to find Billy's freshly death-rayed corpse]] [[Irreparable Mental Trauma|pressed against her lips]], as he wanted to go out kissing his [[One True Love]]. With the [[There Are No Therapists|expected result]], of course.

He took the name Captain Hammer because [[The Beatles]] inspired him to change the world for the better. The reason he chose such a ridiculous song for a superhero's name to originate is because he's a somewhat oblivious [[Jerkass]], and either didn't realize that Maxwell wasn't the protagonist or [[Praising Shows You Don't Watch|didn't bother listening to the lyrics themselves]].

 

* Specifically, several years earlier. Emp (still a college student at the time) was there when Dr. Horrible had a car thrown at him; noticing how [[Awesome but Impractical|innefective]] it was inspired her to write an entire paper debunking it.

* More importantly, Captain Hammer will eventually dye his hair, promote himself through the vaguely-defined ranks, and go right back to hero-ing as [[Jerk Jock|Major Havoc]]. Billy, meanwhile, will have developed even ''more'' personality problems, and now spends his nights [[The Atoner|cleaning up Dr. Horrible's mistakes]]... as ''The God-Damn Maid Man''.
