Junior introduces himself several times in Starship in the same way "My name's Junior, maybe you've heard of me". The first time he does this, in his very fist scene, the Starship Rangers haven't heard of him, but they have heard of his Dad, the only character he seems to actually care about at this point.(Remember, at one point how he was really worried about the Rangers being left on the planet) Here however, the Overqueen quite clearly has heard of him; you can see her trembling in fear. Some kind of twisted character development is that; make of it what you will.

[@katiel5564]

OddUndeniably orrrrr, she saw the gun he was holding and was like “omg he is killing my bugs with that gun, he will kill me too”. But she might have heard of him. Who knows.

[@harypotter37]

Every time I hear this I'm thinking how nervous Brian must have been because this was a solo, he had to act badass, this was his first song he sung in a Starkid musical, AND it was going to be on youtube. You gotta give him credit for being supermegafoxyawesomehot at the same time.

Starkid: One of the only fandoms that applauds wildly when the villian starts blowing shit up.

[@maewilson2897]

I remember first watching this, and being surprised by how...arousing this part was. And here I am, re-watching for the 8000th time. :)

[@cydude5856]

Jr. Is such a simple yet amazing villain. He's the son of an evil genius and a sociopath that doesn't care for anything or anyone but himself. He's unapologetically evil, and his obsession with smoking pot is not only a funny character trait, but it also shows how he doesn't even care about obeying his father. When he tells Bug about how he's going to be rich, he doesn't even mention his father. All he can think about is how rich he alone will be and how when he's rich, he can buy as much pot as he wants. This song pretty much symbolizes his whole character in just a minute. The authoritarian militaristic beat of the music and the lyrics describing how much he enjoys the destruction of innocent life shows just how bad he is without you even having to watch the play to understand his character.

[@justagrainofsalt]

I AGREE WITH THIS SM OH MY GOSH WELL SAID

also it's Brian.

[@valdoxtheunmerciful]

Yesterday, I was listening to Brian Holden singing "Not Over Yet" at Apocalyptour. When the song finished, my mum came in and said "That man can sing, he has and awesome voice!"*proud daughter feels* After that, I showed her on photo of Brian, and she loved it!
