I have no idea who those people are. Look like actors, maybe. Anyway I'm pissed and depressed.

I'm just trying to express my feelings in a light and elusive way. The metaphor is too elaborately esoteric to explain to someone who doesn't already recognize it. I'll delete anyone who tries.

*nods* totally get the impulse even if I'm clueless about the context.

Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog.

That's Captain Hammer (Nat Fillion) hugging Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) after telling him he knows his secret identity and has specifically started dating his crush to get under his skin.

Trump really is a less-coherent version of Captain Hammer.

But it's a Joss Whedon thing, so both those characters ultimately are terrible and Penny (the girlfriend) ends up dead.

Ah. I gave up on Whedon a while back, so that explains not knowing anything of the context. Thank you!
