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 and the Seven Dwarfs (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:

* Damn. I stuck this somewhere else and then came across this Guess and now I feel like I'm dumb for sticking it in the wrong spot to begin with, but here goes: I haven't fully thought this out, which makes me suck, but I think this might be right. The e-mail that leads into 'Freeze Ray' is from someone called dead_not_sleeping. Later, Penny is wearing what essentially amounts to a [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]] costume in the laundromat when she sings her song in the second act. I have no idea what this means, but I feel like it's important. Maybe. Also, hang [[Word of God]]. I like this half-baked theory way too much to let it go.

* Canon, as sung in ''[[Commentary! theThe Musical]]''

** [[OO Davo|This troper's]] extrapolated the above theory: {{spoiler|1=Assuming that this plan exists, Neil would carry it out at some point. Since [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]] is [[The Reveal]] of his plan, no doubt [[Commentary! theThe Musical]] is the best place to execute it, no? To be specific, NPH activated the "Make-The-Whole-World-Neil-O-Tron" at the beginning of the song "Neil's Turn". Everybody else turned into duplicates of Neil, which is how he could "sing my own harmonies". He's alone not because everyone left, but because everyone's Neil. [[The Power of Friendship]] reverses the transformation at the end of the song. Most of the world dismissed the Neil-ness as a hallucination or bad dream (or good dream? Neil's [[Crazy Awesome]], after all), but everyone in Commentary! knew about it. This, incidentally, is why Felicia calls Neil a douche immediately afterwards: he just put a Plan of Ultimate Evil into action, after all.}}

While we're randomly guessing that every role played by [[Felicia Day]] is the same person (see above), let's add that Penny is actually [[The Guild|Cyd Sherman]]. After the events of [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]], Penny got [[Back From the Dead|raised]] using a magic spell from the RPG the Guild play. [[Came Back Wrong|As a result of having magic from the game cast upon her]], Penny became incredibly addicted to the game. She tossed away her old life and name, and started playing the game 24/7. Speaking of games, you just {{spoiler|lost [[The Game]].}} [[Evil Laugh|HA!]] ([[Commentary! theThe Musical|That's just how I laugh.]])

If Penny wasn't killed, she couldn't have "shilled for [[The Guild]]" in [[Commentary! theThe Musical|Commentary!]]. Therefore, the entire plot of [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]] is merely a front to allow [[Felicia Day]] to insert advertising into something by [[Joss Whedon]] - since anything by [[Joss Whedon]] is watched by nerds, they're exactly the target market for [[The Guild]] as well!

Specifically, it's within [[Commentary! theThe Musical]]. Simple.
