2025-03-09 03:34:39 +0000 UTCAhhhh so glad you're finally seeing Joey Richter (Grunt)! He is one of my favorite Starkids. He played Ron in their Harry Potter shows and he's in most of their others as well. You'll see him in the Hatchetfield Trilogy! Firebringer isn't my favorite, but I really love the experimental music style Meredith and Mark put into this one. The percussion is so groovy. Rewatching alongside you and giving me a new appreciation for Firebringer's humor!

2025-02-24 03:53:47 +0000 UTCThat’s so interesting! I think it’s definitely up there for me. But it’s all a matter of taste.

2025-02-02 01:40:08 +0000 UTCAgreed but that’s why I’m glad he’s watching it- hoping it makes me appreciate it in a new way!
Elizabeth Deprey
2025-02-02 01:18:54 +0000 UTCSince it’s one of the actors you’d recognize that I don’t see being mentioned anywhere: Ducker is played by Joe Walker, who also played Prince Achmed and Lord Voldemort from the AVPM series!
l3erryPipsqueak
2025-02-01 16:37:40 +0000 UTCYes - also, puppeteer for the monkey with way too many teeth, one of Achmed's men who guessed he'd smiled at a crocodile etc. Twisted didn't really show off Lauren's talents but she's a Starkid staple and I'm sure you'll love her in TGWDLM

2025-02-01 02:47:15 +0000 UTCOne thing I love about this musical are the puppets and props they made. It shows how much attention to detail they put into it; they are so well made!
Jaesus-Christi
2025-02-01 02:10:06 +0000 UTCHamilton was performed when Obama was president so I think pre-2016
Nicholas & Heather
2025-02-01 00:25:56 +0000 UTCThis show doesn't tend to be a lot of people's favorites but I think it's mine with black Friday coming in a very close second
Danielle Lockwood
2025-01-31 21:39:21 +0000 UTCI’ll be honest Firebringer is probably my least favorite Starkid show it has it’s funny moments but out of all the shows Starkid has made it’s definitely last on the list if I had to rank all the Starkid shows

2025-01-31 19:47:34 +0000 UTCI'm sure some of my points are going to be repeated but here you go. 1. Zazzalil (Lauren) and Grunt (Joey) are married (they were not at the time but they got married in 2023) 2. Jemilla (Meredith) and Smelly-Balls (Brian) are married (again, not at the time but in 2019) 3. Jamie-Lyn (Schwoopsie) is apparently famous for just bringing in random props and for this show it was her little stand-up mic that she made herself 4. This show was made when there was a realization that a lot of their shows were created and about male main characters so they really embraced it being more female led in character and creation. 5. I have the theory that Chorn can only say "Chorn" in it's speaking voice but they can sing like everyone else - that's definitely not correct but it's how I convinced my brain that it makes sense lol 6. With it being performed in 2016, I think it had a very big political influence because of the political situation at the time. The Starkid cast was very vocal during that election and I think they've always been vocal during any American elections. 7. Denise (Keeri) is the choreographer for this show, which is why her character invents dancing for the group - fun fact, Denise is one of my mom's favourite Starkids lol Anyways, I'm very glad you're enjoying this show and I'm excited to see the rest of it with you! I always forget how much I love this show until I watch it again - I'm glad I was one of the Kickstarter's for it!

2025-01-31 16:14:19 +0000 UTCHasn't like, 3 years passed since then? At the very least, Circe fed them, and probably supplied them. We are clearly not shown everything that happens, I assume since food isn't brought up again until the second half of Mutiny, that that is the first time it has gotten that bad. It isn't clear, of course, so definitely open to interpretation. But it isn't mentioned at all by Eurylochus at any point in Mutiny or even Luck Runs Out, and it feels like it would have been if that was a major contributing factor? We also know they had some sushi recently🤣 /jk

2025-01-31 14:55:41 +0000 UTCTHEY WERE STARVING SINCE FULL SPEED AHEAD WHAT DO YOU MEEEANNNNNN
Mortius
2025-01-31 14:40:19 +0000 UTCTHAT’S THE SAME ACTRESS??
Mortius
2025-01-31 14:39:31 +0000 UTCNot Mortius almost catching the Somewhere over the Rainbow motif but rejecting the thought
Jacob Burbrink
2025-01-31 10:24:49 +0000 UTC44:45 "a little hunger and she's planning a mutiny"... I don't know if you noticed, but Zazzalil is played by the same actress who also said the "my hunger blinded me and forced me to act like an animal" line in Twisted (and yes, was also Draco in AVPM, AVPS and AVPSY)
Smee
2025-01-31 09:33:39 +0000 UTCexcited for more <3
EngelDraws
2025-01-31 09:08:59 +0000 UTCI love that Emberly, the lovely lady who's in charge of food is the same lovely lady that played Jasmine. What an amazing group of versatile performers. <3 I was terrified that Grunt was going to bite Emberly at the end of their duet, after he said that he was the rabbit in the other tribe. There's already been talk of baby-eatin'! All my well-wishes to you, your family and especially Cara who needed love.

2025-01-31 08:48:47 +0000 UTCI always forget Joey isn’t in Twisted haha this is a fun and wild intro to him. He’s such a core member. Love this one glad ur enjoying it!
Broody Gaming
2025-01-31 06:04:14 +0000 UTCI've been a fan of Team Starkid since 2013, and they definitely shaped my sense of humor growing up. I'm so happy you're watching more of their shows!
Ace
2025-01-31 05:22:59 +0000 UTCYes, he would love Starship!! It's genuinely my favorite show of theirs
Ace
2025-01-31 05:18:38 +0000 UTCThere are actually 6 actors in total that are in both Twisted and Firebringer! Curious how many you'll recognize. Some of them didn't play huge roles in Twisted but there's still a chance you'll recognize them.
Makayla
2025-01-31 04:45:18 +0000 UTCTo be fair, the mutiny happened before the hunger 🤣 Also, do you really think we are going to let you forget about the blood stealing thing 🤣
Ashley Evers
2025-01-31 04:10:37 +0000 UTCi LIED, heads up: Jemilla's (sherazade) actor is named Meredith and uses she/they pronouns jsyk. They also wrote the music for this show!!!!
Mikayla Welker
2025-01-31 03:45:19 +0000 UTClast thing for this vid: zazzalil's lyric you liked "something's always within reach, ignore the shit Jemilla preach..es" IS HER BREAKING THE RHYME SCEME BC SHE BREAKS THE RULES!!!!!!
Mikayla Welker
2025-01-31 03:43:23 +0000 UTCAlso, I KNEW he would love Joey's (Grunt) voice, he plays the lead in Starship which I really think would be Mortius' favorite, tho as always when suggesting that show, you have to listen to a more recent performance of the I want song in that musical bc Joeys voice has grown so much since that original performance. and Mortius will go insane over Dylan and Meredith's duet
Mikayla Welker
2025-01-31 03:41:13 +0000 UTCYes!!!! Firebringer!!!! This was how I discovered StarKid and it’s still my favorite 💚 😄💚
Emma
2025-01-31 03:38:02 +0000 UTCI love Firebringer songs so im excited but suprised this was the next Starkid production you watched. Can't wait to see your reaction when it goes off the rails lol
Mikayla Welker
2025-01-31 03:37:43 +0000 UTCi’m actually so glad this is your next starkid show you’re doing! it’s not a lot of peoples favorites which is fair but i feel like it’s so often overlooked and i love it so much, the firebringer soundtrack is also one that i often listen to!
ariona leilani
2025-01-31 03:09:10 +0000 UTCIf I had a Nickle for every time Mortius brought up "hunger made me do it" from a line Lauren's character said, I'd have two Nickles, which isn't a lot but it's strange that it's happened twice.

2025-01-31 03:05:29 +0000 UTCSomething I haven't heard of before. O.o. i was skeptical. When i saw firebringer as the title. I need to get my 2.5-3hr of sleep for the day. And I'll watch this when I do dailies. Looking forward to it
PhoenyxFyre
2025-01-31 02:47:22 +0000 UTCYou'll soon find in your Starkid journey that Joey Richter (Grunt and Ron from their Harry Potter musicals) is an acting and singing powerhouse, along with Lauren Lopez (Zazzalil and Draco from the Harry Potter musicals) who is his wife
crisistime
2025-01-31 02:33:20 +0000 UTCYES IM SO EXCITED Yes, Zazzalil is played by Lauren Lopez who was also Draco in the Very Potter musicals. She has such an amazing voice and this is pretty much the only show she doesn't sing in a character voice. The music for this show is so unique, it's really something special Kirri, the one who "invented dancing" was actually the choreographer for this show! I had other comments but they vanished when I tried to post the comment, I'll edit if I remember them.
Masochismet
2025-01-31 02:26:10 +0000 UTCProbably not the Starkid show I would have gone for, but still super exciting! I can’t wait for the rest of the reaction!
Ashley D
2025-01-31 02:24:49 +0000 UTCAaahhhhh, I was so happy when I get the notification (more StarKid!!! ) and I'm happy now, I really enjoy your reaction to this first part :)
LettyStar
2025-01-31 02:21:57 +0000 UTCWith this show you’re also properly introduced to my favourite member of Starkid, Joey Richter (Grunt). He played Ron in the Potter shows but he wasn’t featured in Twisted. Great to see already some recognition of his wonderful vocal skills and physical comedy 😊
Lizzie Akehurst
2025-01-31 02:20:20 +0000 UTCFirebringer is not my favourite SK show but I haven’t watched it in a while so this’ll be fun to revisit it with you! It has a lot of fun bits, and as you’ve pointed out, the soundtrack is VERY groovy. When I saw Starkid live in London last year they did a Firebringer medley that included “Work To Do” and Lauren (Zazzalil) made a joke along the lines of “fun fact every time you play that meme or share it we each get 300 american dollars :)” which I just think is so funny 😭
Lizzie Akehurst
2025-01-31 02:17:06 +0000 UTCoh cool! one of the few starkids musicals i still havent seen, looking forward to discovering this one along w yall lmao
Ori
2025-01-31 01:49:38 +0000 UTCAlso there are so many fun songs "I Don't Wanna Do the Work Today" is so relatable, and "Just a Taste" is so wholesome and sweet.
ShockedCorgi
2025-01-31 01:36:45 +0000 UTCFirebringer is a very interesting show, because it’s considered to maybe have one of the weaker stories of all the Starkid shows, but also have one of the strongest overall soundtracks. Also on a meta level it was really cool to see Lauren Lopez (Zazzalil’s actress, and yeah she played Draco) in a leading role after being stuck in side comic relief roles for basically all of Starkid’s existence
Forrest
2025-01-31 01:20:44 +0000 UTCBy the way, the choreography was all done by Denise Donovan (Keeri)! Since Starkid is such a small team, a lot of the actors are also part of the production team. This is the last show she’s done with Starkid but she’s acting in their TV show “Space Baby” that’s coming out sometime this year
Mafidon
2025-01-31 01:15:42 +0000 UTCFun fact, Grunt/Grant is the same guy who played Ron Weasley in the Very Potter Musical. And is now happily married with Lauren the girl who plays the lead (i forgot her name) and also played Draco Malfoy. :)

2025-01-31 01:12:28 +0000 UTCWatching this and trying to guess how long before you notice all the recurent actors from Twisted
Leo Abreu
2025-01-31 01:02:53 +0000 UTCAlso fun fact Jemilla and Smelly Balls are married irl as are Zazzalil and Grunt!

2025-01-31 00:48:48 +0000 UTCFirebringer! Let's go!!! Man, it's been a hot minute since I've seen this show so it'll be fun watching it along with you
Megan May
2025-01-31 00:48:18 +0000 UTCDidn't expect Firebringer to be the next show from Starkid but alrighty, let's go!
MissDisneyChick
2025-01-31 00:42:18 +0000 UTCWoah was not expecting firebringer next not complaining tho😊

Simon Weed
2025-01-31 00:23:37 +0000 UTCI am SO ready for his reaction to the absolutely insane line “Babies: they are deliciousssssss”
Mafidon
2025-01-31 00:19:55 +0000 UTCOMG YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
Nola Scott
2025-01-31 00:19:26 +0000 UTCYay more Team Starkid! The choreography is great in Firebringer one of my favorites.
