With regards to Act III, I was pretty disappointed. I found the shift in tone sudden, and quite jarring. The first two acts had established a Tick-like setting without serious consequences, where Dr. Horrible can have his enemies waiting for him, his new invention fail, and come away with nothing worse than a black eye and jokes about Captain Hammer throwing large objects at his head.
