My top 15 Starkid characters

This video is MY personal ranking based on my own preferences and interpretations. Nothing I say is meant as an absolute truth. It is simply how I perceive these stories and these characters.

[@catrin777]

in conclusion, moral of the story *dylan saunders :)*

[@GoodMorningButch]

Precisely.

[@historicallyacrow]

*Exactly-*

[@RubiRenegade]

@@mydarkstrangeson2691 So twisted is simply the best of their productions because Dylan and Meredith are deities sent to us from heaven?

[@mossthemage9948]

As a young woman, I can confirm that I want the moon, I want to live on it, eat it in a pie, keep it as a pet and wear it like a gemstone in my hair. Finally a character the says what we are all thinking.

THEY’RE SOULMATES AND THEY’RE GONNA BE WITH EACH OTHER FOREVER

[@GoodMorningButch]

for me, THE deciding factor is that I cannot (CANNOT) get into any het ship where the guy is cocky and acts smug. It’s why I absolutely hate Fiyeraba and why Ja’far/Sherrezade works so well for me.

as much as I love jeff being loud & batshit & a rock god, his "be right there, honey" moment was so sweet & tender, I wish we could see more of that from him. I need more quiet soft boi jeff.

[@GoodMorningButch]

I agree! I love Jack Bauer best of all his roles because we do see some of that emotional shit! It’s so soft.

Conclusion: Dylan's characters are amazing and he plays them all so well

[@randymarie]

"I wanted a salad but now I have a child" made me laugh way harder than it really should have

[@jordan_i_guess5928]

In relation to your "Meredith be like *noises*" thing, in the captions on firebringer, they're described really weirdly and it's amazing. One I remember was something on the lines of "*sad deflating balloon noise*"

[@GoodMorningButch]

Yessss and with Molag it’s "Robot noises" it’s adorable! the captions of SK shows often have great jokes :)

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Fun Fact: The reason Dumbledore was reading off of a legal pad was Dylan didn't memorize that part! I never would have guessed it wasn't planned! 23:36 Dylan literally has tears in his eyes! Edit: I love how many of these were played by the same actors! Just goes to show how utterly talented Starkid is!

[@katk.8603]

also i accidentally adopted craphole's little smile when he says "skinny dipping" and it's now my awkward smile i love him so much

[@krystleurban7345]

The little (beautiful legs) side comment in the Charlotte section sent me. Because honestly, if you say you didn’t constantly get distracted from the action of TGWDLM by those legs, you’re lying.

[@GoodMorningButch]

LEGIT what even happens in that show, I don’t know. June Saito has always been an excellent lesbian ally.

GoodMorningButch I’m going to add a total of 0 (units of your choice) to this comment and just say that I have genuinely never noticed those legs for days until I saw this video.

[@katk.8603]

the whole jane monologue is the entire reason i, myself, fell in love with emma perkins and this is great

[@sarahkinsey5434]

That scene between her and Paul made me ship them so hard! That and someone commenting on another ranking video saying that whenever Paul is with someone else, especially Emma that he is protective made the ending so shocking!

[@xaxasluv]

i k n e w jemilla would be #1 and i 100% vibe w that

She is unmatched in any universe 😔 Queen of beauty, flirting and weird noises

[@masterizzy3]

Of course, my opinion on Starkid characters is way different than yours and stuff, but I love your commentary. It's my fav out of all the other Starkid fan youtube channels!

[@GoodMorningButch]

Oh thank you so much! I think it's a good thing that everyone has different opinions and interpretations, it really proves that Starkid tells many very different stories that appeal to all sorts of people!

[@masterizzy3]

@@GoodMorningButch Yep and I really hope that everyone can understand that

[@waynefodor3762]

I totally agree. My opinion is very different, for one thing Jemilla has always made me want to rip my hair out (so does firebringer) and I took sooooo much pleasure watching Zazzalil wack her with a stick. And I hate Becky, Tom is talking about the fact he lost his wife not too long ago and Becky's just abusing that fact he's hurting

[@waynefodor3762]

Also these are just my opinions everyone has different opinions and Im always openminded about peoples opinions, epecially bc people have been very nice about the fact I hate firebringer (not the duck though, He is lord) Thanks for reading my rant love ya'll

[@rhollaroid]

Me: that one that Lauren Lopez plays in the Harry Potter trilogy, that one Lauren Lopez plays in Twisted, that one Lauren Lopez plays in Trail to Oregon, that one Lauren Lopez plays in Firebringer, that one Lauren Lopez plays in TGWDLM, and that one Lauren Lopez plays in Black Friday. And like, Ron.

[@GoodMorningButch]

woah I can’t believe you hate the one that Lauren Lopez played in Starship and the one that Lauren Lopez played in Holy Musical B@man

[@minceroft3710]

also can we talk about how Firebringer really depicted so many different growth and learning journeys and the different ways people can react so well?? Grunt and Emberly discover flavour mixing and painting together, and respond with pure awe; Ducker learns that blind faith won't always lead him to the best result, and at first he denies that he was wrong, and tries to cope by worshipping the fire, but in the end he finds comfort in encouraging the love within the tribe; Tiblyn learns not to define her self worth through one singular thing, and while the realisation affects her greatly, she comes out stronger; and while jazzalil's contrasting reactions to fire (impulsively cautious and impulsively reckless) are really a main focus, discovering their feelings for each other and how they handle them is also a theme (jemilla just wants to protect zazzalil, but fails to make her intent explicit, resulting in misunderstanding, but in the end she learns to vocalise her thoughts and feelings; zazzalil, on the other hand, learns to listen to others and especially jemilla, and grows to admire her and her dedication). That highkey became an essay but I felt the need to say that-- Firebringer isn't perfect, but it brought us some great characters and storylines

[@marinarasauce5701]

i love these videos because the commentary alternates between making me cackle and making me sob

[@Ray-hk1zm]

This isn't that related to this video but I need to scream about how Mad I am at people Specifically some of my friends and the people in the live chat during Black Friday More specifically the ones who were calling Becky JD or saying that she was a crazy evil murderer, like Did You Listen To That Monologue Or Did You Have Your Head So Far Up Your Own Butt That You Missed It- *ahem* I'm fine It just really sucks to see people look at her trauma and her bravery as just that of a crazy woman??? I dunno maybe I'm making a bigger thing out of this than it needs to be,, But anyway, yes, love all of these characters!! My list is probably wayyy different but I literally am incapable of picking a favorite character in most of these shows (my favorite character in Black Friday, for example, is All Of Them) so I'm just gonna enjoy yours.

[@shadowdogs5070]

Honestly, I agree with the ranking. But I also wanted Linda, Draco, Paul, and Akhmed... it would be a very hard decision for me to rank them

[@lewismcintosh8029]

I'm glad you included Becky and Tom in your list. I recently saw Black Friday and instantly loved their connection and chemistry between each other. I was surprised not many people liked them compared to other Hatchetfield characters on their lists. Their duet is definitely my favourite song in not just the musical, but the whole franchise. I'm glad I'm not the only who loves them not just as a couple, but as characters too.

[@HeadphonesGal215]

24:01 this line KILLS me because Sherrezade has probably spent most of her life telling stories to other people for entertainment and being put on display for others, and finally someone wants to know HER story and who SHE is, not just what she can give others 😭

[@alexandranoellemuliadi6488]

The difference between wisdom and intelligence is Jemilla and Zazzalil

[@beck4557]

this list is valid and while i dont 100% agree, i love seeing other ppl's opinions and your commentary was pure gold! also, the small little (beautiful legs) and 'arms...' is me everytime i try to watch starkid so thank you for that

[@GoodMorningButch]

Thank you so much! I definitely don’t consider that my opinions are or should be universal, they’re just a reflection of how I personally receive these stories.

[@LilyGrace95]

All I can say as a result of this video is that Starkid's script writing is *amazing* (not being specific cos it's not always the Lang brothers, even if it is mostly them): the humour is SO good, and they always manage to find the unexpected jokes. The drama is just... Like, Becky's monologue just comes out of *nowhere* and it's one of the most compelling pieces of theatre I've ever seen. And as for the acting/singing/choreography.... That speaks for itself.

[@crystalwaters7573]

Jemilla, the one who Knows Things

[@TheAceUpYourSleeves]

It is actually beautiful when you used the names of the characters in trail to Oregon so sincerely.

[@mylahobbit1815]

im so fucking glad that i'm not the only one who loved jazzalil - people are always like 'oh it was forced bad rep :(' but I fucking love it. the parallels, the beauty, the understanding, the foreshadowing is all just **chef kiss** also bold move having only one AVP character on this list I respect that though I do not agree with it

[@ErinaBleu]

ok i almost didn't watch this bc ive seen a bunch of these ranking videos and they're usually just the same scenes that every other video uses but i actually love this so much bc your commentary is so analytical and made me think about some of these characters differently or realize things i'd never noticed?? so... this video is amazing and you're so smart???

I'm actually so glad to see Becky so high up on your list (and I agree with a lot of your list too!), but I feel like so many people dislike her for...I guess progressing Tom and her relationship too fast after Tom's wife's death. Thank you for giving her the appreciation I feel she doesn't usually get!!

[@duckislord7187]
