This will be very niche.

People think Thor Odinson is Captain Hammer:

Thor is actually Captain Awesome:

That is all.

Let Me Tell You Why Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Has Aged Badly

With the current writing strike going on I remembered how good this was and hoped this strike will produce a sequel but… man, this aged badly. When I was a teenager and I first saw it I loved it, I loved that dichotomy and harmony of My Eyes and I thought Billy was sympathetic and his fall tragic. Um yeah, that’s not the case anymore.

Billy gives off major incel vibes. He stalks this girl, doesn’t know a thing about her, and the things he finds out he doesn’t like but lies to her and pretends he does literally to get in her pants. He scoffs at the things she's passionate about, creeps on her dates with Hammer, says the actual line “Penny doesn’t seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain” as if it’s Penny’s concern what he does with his life. She doesn’t even know him; she bumped on him on the street once, he was a dismissive ass about her petition, and that’s it. They’ve had ONE conversation that lasted two minutes, and she’s supposed to care about this rude stranger? What I thought as a teen was really cool about their duet I now see as a woman living her best life and some creep trying to claim ownership of her.

The emotional core of the story is the connection between Penny and Billy, and it’s just done very poorly. Why does he care about her? He doesn’t know her. She looks pretty and that’s it. Penny is the epitome of woman in the fridge trope, just someone who’s there for the men to fight over and dies to further a man’s development. What pushed Billy to murder is not that Hammer was treating Penny badly (he wasn’t) but that he’s gonna have sex with her and “take” what Billy wants. Forget the fact that Penny might want to sleep with the guy, what do the thoughts and feelings of the object matter, am I right. It’s not that Billy is sad Penny has feelings for Hammer and not him, no, no. It’s that she will be claimed by someone else, how dare we think it might be about Penny and what she feels. In addition to that, the framing of Hammer is that he’s only doing the hero thing about the attention and he doesn’t really care, but does he? Sure he taunts Billy in the laundromat, but he didn’t date Penny just to spite him -- he started dating her before he knew that that they knew each other. Penny is “not his usual, but nice”, he discards the cue cards he could have easily just read from and talks about how Penny is helping him flex “the deltoids of compassion and the abs of being kind”. If we must have a story about a woman being emotional support and making a man better, why can’t it be about a guy who is already doing good for the wrong reasons and she helps him be a more fundamentally compassionate person? Why must it be about the incel who wants anarchy without even knowing what that is? “Anarchy! That I run! It's Dr. Horrible's turn!” — that’s not how that works, Billy.

The music is great, and all the actors are so charming, and I really think the third act works in isolation, but the relationships in the first and second are too toxic to build a good foundation to that. Maybe instead of Billy having a song about how he’s obsessing over a girl he’s never met, it could have been about this girl he does know and what he actually likes about her? Maybe instead of getting mad that Hammer is taking something that “he wants” he gets mad that Hammer is abusing her? Or like just any legit reason to get mad that’s about her and not his own feelings of inadequacy? Maybe instead of him lamenting that “Penny doesn’t seem to care” about a guy she doesn’t know, he laments how she seems to be falling for Hammer’s lies while he, let’s say, checks out other women on their dates?

I know this was made in 2008 but man. It could really use a rewrite to make the core relationships a little stronger.

The other thing I’ve been Thinking of is this DHSAB production

The actor who’s doing Captain Hammer is actually pretty damn good. Definitely my fav member of the whole cast. But he’s also pretty short compared to the guy they’ve got playing the Not-So-Good Doctor. So basically every time CH and DH are interacting, Captain Hammer immediately puts Dr. Horrible into a headlock in an attempt to not attract too much attention to the way Billy fucking towers over him.

A hypothetical god tier for Captain Hammer from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: the Bard of Hope.

A Bard of Hope is among those who alter faith in possibility. They are motivated by others to destroy assurance. (x) The Bard of Hope gets angry when things don’t go their way and has big dreams. (x) They are the Revolutionary Believer, defined by outrage and assurance. (x) Their opposite is the Prince of Rage. Their inverse is the Maid of Rage. They share their personality with the Page of Rage. The Bard of Hope would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Rage and Hope, reigned over by Dionysus (God of Revelry) or Abraxas (God of Religion). They would rise to ascension on the wings of doves. (x)(x)(x)

Horrible: Well, well, well, if it isn’t Captain Hammer— Hammer: But it is me. Horrible: N-no, it’s an expression— Hammer: Your little mind games won’t work on me.
