Having just enjoyed the magic that is "Dr. Horrible's Sing along Blog" from Joss Whedon. I was left with three first impressions. "Three first impressions and not one?" you say. Well... yes they all popped out of my subconscious like conjoined triplets fighting for supremacy and I was forced to order them for my own sanity... here goes:
1. NPH (That's Sir Neil Patrick Harris to you) is the greatest talent this generation will ever see.
1. I really hope Joss Whedon is looking for a web spokesfly.
1. And last, but still first, the similarities between Enerkid's villain Prof. Zignut and Dr. Horrible are kind of cool:
(warning: minor plot elements revealed not real spoilers though)
Professor Zignut:
Scene stealing villain who wears welding goggles, uses a ray gun, and who goes off on tangents.
Fires said ray at a cheesy press event held in front of a curtain
Evil plan involves a stolen van on which the hero lands in a rescue attempt.
Burdened by ineffective monster henchmen
References a League of Woe
Dr. Horrible:
Scene stealing villain who wears welding goggles, uses a ray gun, and who blogs off on tangents.
Fires said ray at a cheesy press event held in front of a curtain
Evil plan involves a stolen van on which the hero lands in a rescue attempt.
Villain burdened by ineffective sidekick Moist.
References an Evil League of Evil
Now conspiracy freaks might assume some evil plot is behind this, but rest assured friends: coincidences abound in this universe. And while Enerkid was conceived and shot well before the WGA strike that spawned Dr. Horrible, they can both be first. As can this Dr. Steel chap, whom I had never heard of, but who's fans are suggesting Whedon ripped off. I'm guessing it's just another first... three firsts... it happens...
Like my impressions. See how I brought that back around... dang I'm good.
Briny out.
