So I was watching this video someone posted on YouTube and it has the train choreo in it?? It’s hard to tell what’s happening exactly because of the nature of the video but I genuinely want to see that train choreo on stage more than ever

Starkid fans when Will Branner is cast as Hidgens

[hyper-alice]

So I was ranting to my friend about Hatchetfield (as one does) and I pulled up Alice Woodward’s Starkid wiki page to show her a picture

She saw the picture of Alice and Deb and when I pointed out which one was Deb she immediately said “her girlfriend looks like a junkie, sorry”

Like I guess it’s not too hard of a conclusion to reach, but I was so caught off guard because of how quickly dead-on she was 😭

Anyways shoutout to that friend, she’s had to put up with me bugging her to watch Guy forever and now she has to sit through my VERY detailed synopsis of the entire musical after a month of her refusal to watch it

Wilbur Cross / Owen Carvour parallels

This is gonna be long so I’ll put it after the cut, also spoilers for Spies Are Forever or Black Friday, it’s been a while since either one came out but just in case. I’ve decided to colour code certain bits so it’s a little easier to read than a huge wall of text, I also just like colour coding.

I’ve only watched SAF once at this point, I’m not very good at retaining information from my first watch of stuff so if I forget anything or get anything wrong then that’s why.

So first of all, appearance wise, obviously they’re both played by Joey Richter (and he’s doing an accent for both characters). I think Joey’s hair is pretty similar for both characters as well. They also wear a blue jacket (at least I’m pretty sure Owen’s is blue).

Plotwise, both characters start on the “good side” or the protagonist’s side, before becoming the direct antagonist.

They both originally had a strong connection to a protagonist character (Owen with Curt and Wiley with MacNamara).

In Wiley’s case, he was Mac’s mentor, someone probably he looked up to, they were probably friends. As someone else pointed out, Wiley is one of the few people we see calling him by his first name, John.

In Owen’s case, he was Curt’s lover, best friend, and spy partner, they were obviously very close.

Both of them seem to have been extremely talented in their respective fields, Owen is established as an excellent spy, while Wiley was a Colonel (and again, Mac’s mentor)

Then they both experienced a major event that was very literally life-altering.

Owen slipped and nearly died in the explosion from the start of the musical.

And Wiley went through the portal to the Black And White, which led to the entire shift in his worldview and him pledging his undying loyalty to Wiggly (and probably the other LIBs).

For both of them, these events caused them to leave their original sides in favour of another entity that almost certainly played a role in the reshaping of their beliefs (Chimera and Wiggly)

The next time their previous relationships (Curt and Mac) see them again, they’re whole different people. Wiley is “a raving lunatic” and Owen is the Deadliest Man Alive.

They both develop a hatred for the person they were once very close with as well.

Both of them no longer believe in what they used to believe in, and their new beliefs contradict their previous ones, as well as the beliefs of Curt and Mac.

Wiley actively criticizes American capitalist society, political leaders, etc. All what MacNamara works for (the government I guess) and is attempting to save from Wiggly.

On the other hand, Owen now wants Chimera in control of all data, even extremely personal information (very dystopian), something that Curt is against, and Owen probably would’ve been against it too.

To list more random similarities:

Specifically the way Wiley says “PRODUCTS!” reminds me of Owen talking after he was revealed as the DMA for some reason.

Silicon mentions, Owen wants that one area of land for the silicon access, Wiley sings “a valley of silicon” in Made In America, Owen literally wants a valley of silicon lmao.

The government connections.

The whole Curt-Mega-plays-a-pathetic-idiot-man-while-Joey-Richter-plays-an-evil-mastermind thing too (I haven’t mentioned Howard Goodman yet but yeah)

Staircases (tm)

Also they can both be related to fruits (Wiley with apples and Owen with bananas)

what if I made a post ranting about the Owen Carvour - Wilbur Cross parallels? What then?
