Devin Lytle points out the irony that Sango's improvised delivery of "BITCH I AIN'T CHO CHANG" is amazingly funny and is what makes the whole joke work but people remember Lytle's reveal as the "real Cho Chang" much more clearly, because she's the Starkid token hot girl

Which is a bunch of problematic stuff all wrapped up in a little ball, yes (like Lytle saying that her earlier roles with them really were just her being the hot girl and it took them a while to find a comedic voice for her)

Anyway it's also ironic on the level that Sango Tajima is a really accomplished stage actress and probably also had a much smaller part in AVPM because she was busy with real stuff Devin Lytle probably feels weird about this whole leapfrog nature of becoming "Internet famous"

Like Darren Criss has made comments about how much he personally enjoys that "Team Starkid" got this massive following as Internet celebrities when the actual UMich Theatre Department kind of saw them as weird losers

Like that's the joke with Tyler Brunsman, who wasn't really a core part of their crew because he was an actual star student and Broadway triple threat That's the whole joke of having him play Cedric Diggory

It's a shame how the YouTube recording only being a single camera weakens a lot of these jokes by not letting you see the whole stage, like it is absolutely hilarious when you realize "To Dance Again" has Cedric's body just sitting there for the entire thing

And yeah it's a lot better knowing some of the context, like Tyler is "slumming it" by being in this show at all and then they shit on him the whole time ("What the hell is a Hufflepuff?!) then make him play a corpse Twice

But yeah apparently their fans at UMich thought they were being straight up trolled by the cast list When they said they were gonna do Harry Potter everyone just assumed Brian Rosenthal (Quirrell) was gonna play Harry

Having Darren Criss play Harry as a muscular 6-foot-tall jock was the "worst possible choice" But not as much as Lauren Lopez, whom fans were pulling for as their Hermione, being cast as Draco

That's a multilayered joke too Like the original joke was taking Lauren, a hot girl, and making her play Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings The next step of the joke was recycling her Frodo character as Draco in Harry Potter (deliberately trolling all the leather pants fans)

She's so good as Draco though! One of the best parts of the show
