I seem to be the only one who thought this was absolutely fan-tastic! And have to agree with @Miksho: Katie Kitty is simply too cute for words. Well done, fan vids are rarely this good. #drhorriblessingalongblog

@jbq: I agree that was the best fan production I've ever seen short of Star Trek: New Voyages. #drhorriblessingalongblog

@Taed: Well, it's not the best fan production I've ever seen, that has to be Troops, but it certainly was great. #drhorriblessingalongblog

@jbq: I just watched _Troops_ (I had never heard of it previously), and while it was very good, for me, it did not rise to the level of _Horrible Turn_ or _Star Trek: New Voyages_.

Thanks for telling me about, it though!

@Taed: No worries! Remember that I saw Troops when they first hit the web, so they might not be as great as I remember....

Well, on the plus side, when Whedon gets around to making Dr. Horrible 2 (since Dollhouse's canceling is bound to leave him with a lot of time on his hands,) he can watch this and cast Patrick Warburton as Johnny Snow. #drhorriblessingalongblog

I watched the whole thing. It's painless in comparison to other fan-attempts at musical comedy I've seen, but I definitely think that the songs (not the singing, but the composition) were the weakest thing about this. Not one song is stuck in my brain, which was the best thing about Dr. Horrible; it wedged itself deep into your grey matter.

But seriously, a lot of heart went into this, and I respect it for that. I really like the subtle world-building they did (Bad Horse's origin, 1000% more Johnny Snow) and the casting was as good as you could have hoped for. Hammer grew on me. And Kristin Massa (Katy Kitty) is impossibly cute. #drhorriblessingalongblog

@Miksho: Agreed on just about all points. On the songs though, I think the *lyrics* were excellent, though the actual tunes were quite forgettable.

If it had been half the length, it would have been a brilliant piece of work. At this length it was merely "impressive, for fan fiction." #drhorriblessingalongblog

Dude, I went to high school with Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer (we had French together). Way to go Jacob and Tyce. Klein always knew y'all would be big one day, didn't know just how soon. #drhorriblessingalongblog

I actually enjoyed it. Actually, I thought the kid playing Hammer was the better actor out of the group. He played it I felt with the right amount of ham, #drhorriblessingalongblog

I feel terribly guilty about not liking this, because that isn't the prevailing opinion of the internet and because it's a fan effort and I feel like I should support it, but I just don't like it. It feels like they couldn't decide whether they wanted to do a tribute or a prequel, and ended up with this.

However, there are some really great lines worthy of Captain Hammer - "We're going to win, I can feel it in my bone."

Bwahaha. Classic. #drhorriblessingalongblog

This guy is definitely a genius, and definitely Stooo-pid, as Dexter said more then once about his sister. This show is the Rocky and Bullwinkle of my daughter's generation.

Doom does NOT belong on this list!

Not many super-geniuses can claim to have had as many victories as Dr. Doom. He succeeded in taking over the world in Emperor Doom, he conquered Franklin Richards' alt-Earth on the other side of the Sun (starting with no tech, either!), he tricked the Devil (Mephisto) into releasing his mother's soul in Triumph and Torment, he single-handedly ended the Secret Wars by stealing Galactus' power, and then using them to steal the Beyonder's power!

Most stunning of all, he recently (a few months ago, actually) turned an ignominious defeat into total victory. The reality-manipulating Marquis of Death turned Doom's heart to stone, his blood into acid and then dropped him off into the Pliocene era to be eaten by prehistoric sharks. However, Doom's hate kept him alive. He studied the black arts for millions of years, then transformed his body down to the molecular level to fool the Marquis of Death into accepting him as a pupil. He even killed a Watcher to protect his secret. It's not clear how powerful he is now, but he's definitely been upgraded. And he seems to be over his Fantastic Four hate as well.

Unlike most other supervillians, Dr. Doom has won too many times to be included on this loser list.

@cihx: I felt the same way about Nero- one of the lamest ST villains in the history of ST, and that's saying something. #supervillains

You dare to insult Doom? Doom is not pleased. You will pay for your insolence against Doom. Immediately after Doom is finished with Julian McMahon. #supervillains
