Overview

What does one do when one realizes the vast similarities between Dr. Horrible and Robin Hood? Well if that one is me, one decides to make a whole series of vids using the songs from Joss Whedon's web-based musical.

This is an ongoing project and files will be added as I progress through the musical

Characters

Guy of Gisborne = Billy/Dr. Horrible
Robin Hood = Captain Hammer
Marian = Penny
Sheriff Vasey of Nottingham = Bad Horse

And a whole chorus of Merry Men, Black Knights, guards, and peasants.

02. My Freeze Ray

Heeeee! This whole idea is pure brilliance! I haven't watched all of what you have done yet, but I just finished the first "Bad Horse Chorus" and just had to comment on the epic hilarity. (And of course I know this is going to break my heart by the end, but I still can't wait to see the rest of it when you get more done.)

And, okay, ditto-ing the love above for "A Man's Gotta Do" -- the "did you notice that he threw you in the garbage?" and "balls!" are perrrrfect.

Guy totally thinks Robin's just as cheesy as Captain Hammer and has no idea what Marian sees in him.

And I think a lot of us would like Dr Horrible to use his death ray or freeze ray on Robs.

I've been much more focused on fanfic recently, but feedback is a good reminder that I really should continue this so thank you. Things do start getting bit more serious about this point in DH (though with still some funny songs), I'm really *not* looking forward to the last couple no matter how fitting they are because it hurts in both sources. But knowing people are still finding and liking this series does encourage me to continue (once the vid muses come back of course).
