Critical Studies in Dr. Horrible
criticalstudiesintelevision.com lässt drei Artikel zu Dr. Horrible plumpsen. Während Stacey Abbott und David Lavery nette, kurze Beiträge liefern, die im wesentlichen zusammenfassen, was schon oft erwähnt wurde (Fan-Support, Medium-Bending, etc.), bringt Rhonda Wilcox (ja, Rhonda "Slayage" Wilcox) einen wirklich netten Beitrag ins Spiel, der Billy von Godfather bis Godzilla durchdekliniert und sogar DVD-Features wie Commentary! miteinbezieht:
Dr. Horrible's metatextuality is valuable in part simply because it is amusing; but it also serves to remind us of the production's indie nature and its status as internet creation, from the online comic book prequel to the many internet fan hommages (some of which are in the DVD). For the DVD's main feature, the viewer first sees the F.B.I. warning against copyright infringement—but this is replaced by an E.L.E. (Evil League of Evil) warning that 'This video disk is designated for Evil purposes only . . . '. (I suppose my Evil purpose is, in the words of a Joss Whedon commentary song, to 'pick, pick, pick it apart', so I am presumably safe from the penalties for Non-Evil usage.)
Edit: Sehr gut auch waxbanks' Kommentare dazu.
