Motivational posters: Season 8/Doctor Horrible

You know, I was watching Doctor Horrible again, and it struck me... Joss is nothing if not consistent. Maybe not always in characterisation, but definitely in themes. So I was going to write something on the similarities between Season 8 and Doctor Horrible, but I figured it would be more fun to do it in the form of... motivational posters! Some making half-serious points, others... perhaps not so much.

Spoilery for both series and not dial-up friendly... are people still on dial-up? Anyone? Anywhere?

















ETA: Because [livejournal.com profile] stormwreath wanted more Hammer/Buffy comparisons, here's a slightly different one:

Not a fan of either of those Joss products, personally, but those were very funny and go together beautifully.

Those are great!

I'm on dialup. One of those "mobile broadband" things that are basically mobile phone modems that vary from pathetic to decent for folk who don't have a quasi-competent phone company in their area.

LOL these are all great! That last one kinda induces a shudder though. I still remember that dream I had back when Warren got revealed. It was in no way cartoony and cute.

*screech* You continue to be a MAD CROSSOVER GENIUS.

I love how you paired Buffy with "The world is a mess and I just need to...rule it." and the "Evil League of Evil - Just got the application you sent in." Hee!

That was fun. :)

*devil fingers of awesome*

The Riley/Hammer confluence is just perfect.
(although I too shriek at Skinless Warren--I actually screamed when I saw the panel--way to go to combine all my nightmares (1)at once, Joss!)

(1)Almost--at least he wasn't a braineating zombie.

(I should say something coherent and cutting, I know, but I'm all out of cleverness today.)

AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yeah. I love the first two, especially. :D

hilarious, thanks for making and sharing!

Bwah! "Do Not Bounce" is my favorite. Also "The Status is Not Quo," "Everything Happens," "Evil League of Evil" ... but they're all great!

Interesting that you've cast Buffy as Dr Horrible. ;-) I certainly see your point given Season 8, but there are those that would actually say she's Captain Hammer: the smugly self-righteous crusader for Good who believes that hitting things is always a good solution, and refuses to see anything even slightly morally dubious about herself.

It's almost as if Joss is capable of nuance and multiple layers. :-)

Hee!

These are hilarious!

Brilliant work on all of them and you're right they are consistant. He's a big fan of redelivering the same message. As joss said himself (said during the q&a session of a serenity screening in Sydney Asutralia's fox studios)

The buffyversetop5 is certainly steering me to some great posts. I love Xander and Dracula. Oh, yeah, they sure did.

Good grief! Brilliant! Who knew that the JossVerse was so modular?

I bow down to your awesomeness. I can't even pick a favorite!
