Dr. Horrible Sequel Coming Sooner Than You Think

[Carboncrown]

Felicia Day (Penny) is supposed to be an actress in the movie. Just a tidbit to nibble on/obsess over

Spoiler: My nibblings

Didn't she... y'know... die?
Is it going to involve...
NECROMANCY!?
That... that would work.

Anyway, sounds like a good idea. I will sit here patiently.
And rewatch the original singalong blog.

I'm a little weirded out that that's the conclusion people are jumping to instead of

Spoiler: Y'know

Time travel

This reminds me of Half Life 3. People never shut up about it and so I just stop caring. I'm sure it'll be great, and I'd enjoy it, but I'm tired of hearing how "great it is".

Oh, you poor thing.
You're just supposed to ignore the annoying fanbases here on the Internet. Keeps you sane.

It's even what our punctuationless overlord said.

Its a brand new day, and the sun is high...

 

[Strain42]

Give us more ELE and I'm happy. They had one of the best story arcs in the comic.

Honestly...I'm a little embarrassed to say I forgot all about this.

I knew they said they wanted to do one and were even working on it, I just assume that had been scrapped.

I don't expect lightning to strike twice, but I still think it'll be pretty good.

Also, they should bring in Patton Oswalt...I don't care as who, just have him involved lol He's been doing a lot of Joss Whedon stuff lately (guest starring on Dollhouse and even writing a REALLY good Firefly comic book)

Mmm. Distilled awesomesauce. Can't wait.

Will be interesting to see how the story can continue from where he original left off, as long as it's funny and has plenty of songs for NPH though I really don't care.

 

[Asita]

I'm equal parts excited and fearful about this. On the one hand, I loved the first installment. On the other hand I'm very worried that the sequel won't capture the magic of its predecessor. It set the bar pretty high, after all.

I wasn't expecting a sequel, but I'm looking forward to some more great tunes sung by NPH. I think the story could possibly continue from where it left off. I'd like to see what Dr. Horrible does next. Also, Felicia Day!

Spoiler

Maybe he goes all Dr. Frankenstein and resurrects Penny. Or at least tries. That would make for a fun story.

Like this?

...I haven't heard anyone say anything about a Dr. Horrible Sequel apart from... well, this. Where have you been hearing all of it?

It's not the sequel. It's that people wouldn't shut up about the show short in general.

Yeah, I know it is. But I had that avatar before everyone started babbling about it everywhere and also wouldn't shut up about it. ~_~

Necrorevival or time travel, either way is fine with me. It promises chaos, hijinks, and comedy gold. Gonna get some more NPH!

really? i've never heard of it untill now o.o when was this?

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

I orgasmed a little just by reading the headline.

On an unrelated note, "Orgasmed" is not in my computers dictionary, but "Orgasmic" is.

 

[Draconalis]

Odd thing of note - Felicia Day (Penny) is supposed to be an actress in the movie.

Spoiler

As a ghost!

Or a twin sister!

Or reconned alive because this is a super hero / villain story! It was her clone that died all along!

Edit: Edited to ad spoiler tags.

My vote is for hallucinations of a broken mind.

 

[Nouw]

I'm betting her come back has to do with necromancy. He is Dr. Horrible after all.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

The previous owner of this account has... regretfully... died from too much excitement and over use of the ellipsis.

Let this be a lesson to all... Moderation.

I will do my best to take over for him. Anyway...


Oh god yes... more Dr. Horrible, screw moderation... I want more ><. Looking forward to this.

That's what I always felt he would do. Of course, it would all end horribly. There will be no happy ending.

what if he brings her back via time shenanigans?

 

[shintakie10]

He built a freeze ray that stops time. I'd say it's not too far off for him to build a gobackintimeanator to rescue Penny.

 

[manic_depressive13]

I'm not going to get my hopes up but I guess it couldn't hurt to look into it. The title is a bit misleading though. I had no idea when it was supposed to come out, and now I still don't know. "Sooner than some indefinite time in the future" is still just an indefinite time in the future.

Possible. But no matter how he does it, it will not have a happy ending. Bittersweet at best. The thing is, the ending of Dr.Horrible's sing-along blog was a good ending for it, a happy ending would not have had such an impact, and people who think this sequel will give him a happy ending don't seem to understand Joss Whedon and story-telling.

I would be very disappointed if it did end happily, undoing the meaning of the first part.

Dr.Horrible got what he wanted (or thought he wanted), only to feel empty because of all he had to sacrifice. Penny, the person who was working on the grass-roots level and actually making a difference died and was totally ignored by the media that only focused on exciting, flashy heroes who solved problems by punching them, and later a villain who solved problems by shooting them.

Not to mention that as much as I like Dr.Horrible, he was a villain. And as much as I can identify with the nerd's desire to get back on the world and everyone who laughed at you, that's only becoming a bully himself.

For me it would be worse if the ending was happy without it really feeling like it should be.

Odds on Nathan Fillion cameoing?

What do you mean cameoing?? He should be there all the way! Not big on NPH, but I need me some Captain Hammer in all his asshole glory!

 

[Bourguit]

It's about damn time!!! Yes!!!! Yeesssssssssss!
