How do you feel about Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog (assuming you've seen it)? AskWomen


I ask because it's been a bit on my mind lately, and here are some follow up questions to that:




  • Do you relate to Dr. Horrible and put yourself in his position, or do you wish there was someone like him for you?




  • Do you have a problem with the only female character in the admittedly small cast is basically a woman in a refrigerator, despite Whedon being an outspoken feminist?




  • How do you feel the story would be received if all the principle characters genders were swapped and the script remained the same with the exception of pronouns?




I was not a redditor when I first watched Dr. Horrible's Singalong blog, but now that I am and recently re-watched it, I'm seeing it through the lens of someone immersed in subs like /r/AskWomen /r/Feminism etc. and I now kinda see it as the ultimate Nice Guy fantasy. Thoughts?
