I believe it’s customary if the thread doesn’t have ‘spoiler-free’ in the title, and the show has had it’s public airing, you are in the clear. Spoiler-Free threads are specifically made for those who don’t like spoilers. In general I think it’s common sense to stay away from threads till you’ve seen the topic or if you don’t mind learning about it, spoilers and all. Hence, I’m staying clear of all Batman threads till I see The Dark Knight.
I always think it’s hilarious that people throw fits over spoilers about movies from books that are decades or centuries old.
Passion of the Christ: [spoiler]Hey guess what, Jesus DIES at the end![/spoiler]
I was a little let down by the naivete of Penny. A rare Joss character I didn’t admire (beyond being deliciously pasty and adorable). She just seemed underused and paid the ultimate price for being slow on the take. I would have liked to see something in her that really drew NPH to her.
The ending also was a slice of letdown as it felt more like a ‘time’s up, let’s pack it in’ montage when I’d rather see them devote a little more time to what really happened to the characters. Yeah I hate montage endings, they are a ripoff. They easily could have got an other song or 2 (for each surviving) just to give each some genuine closure and benefit from a fuller sense of change. On the plus Nathan Fillon and NPH (NeilsPerHour!) really went for it and managed to elevate the whole thing. I don’t think it would have worked without them.
It was a good effort with some inspired choices and 2 great leads who stole the show. In the realm of ‘made for internet’ movies, it’s a masterpiece. Hopefully it will inspire more quality productions online. And wake up studios to the real value of webcontent (and stop screwing over the creative forces who make them)
I should watch it over with some friends and pay attention to:
-CptHammer’s ‘invulnerability’ I think he’s just a bully who likes beating up people and being a superhero just gives him license to do so Which is bizarre, unbelievable, clever and amusing all at the same time. He always got the jump on Horrible, etc and never had to defend himself. If he’s just an ordinary dude that would be a creative masterstroke… tho albiet a little too unclear. He certainly acted like a schoolyard bully when someone finally socks him in the face.
-If DrHorrible’s gun somehow removed his invincibility then that doesn’t make much sense either… nor does why did it even explode in the first place? It worked fine on the ceiling what changed?
-The blog version of the last 2 words is an very interesting choice. I’ll enjoy throwing around the directing aims on that on for a while (Also another good place for a song or reprise, mentioned earlier…)
In a word:
MORE!!!
Bad horse was a fucking HORSE!!! :eek: OhEmGee lololol
