Maybe we need to go the other way. Remake Muppet remakes without Muppets.

Give Sony a crucial message: “It’s Muppet Morbin’ time.”

I remember reading about a Muppets screenplay of The Great Gatsby a few years ago and found an article on it. Kermit as Gatsby, Piggy as Daisy, Gonzo and Rizzo as fourth-wall-breaking friends of Nick. https://www.avclub.com/somebody-wrote-a-104-page-gatsby-adaptation-for-the-mup-1846070184 I would absolutely watch that.

Real question tho is what should the one human do? What style? Do you go Michael Cain and treat the Muppets as if they are royal Shakespeare actors and be the sole straight man? Or do you go Tim Curry and be a Muppet made of flesh and blood instead of felt and leave teeth marks on the scenery? Both are very very good performances. Subtle movie moment related to this. When Scrooge says "more gravy than the grave" and acknowledges the bad joke, it is something from the book itself, which even Dickens admits later was a terrible line

Honestly Gonzo as Dickens makes that movie for me. Being able to inject the very good prose into the movie just gives the whole thing a special tone. I love MCC.

Welsh Rarebit (cheesy toast) was thought to be especially bad for it; inspiring the highly influential comic series Dream of the Rarebit Fiend

In Ravenous, Guy Pierce's character is seen reacting poorly to the sight of blood, which seems to be due to the PTSD of his experience from the war with Mexico, with many others blaming it on cowardice. But he's not faint or disgusted by the sight of it, he's already subject to the Wendigo curse after having inadvertently drank blood from the mass grave he was buried in. He feels the urge to consume injured and dying people so he's wrestling with the desire when seeing spilled blood, even before eating Richter's corpse.

It was quite a surprise.

Amphigory posted:I'm sorry, but this used to be a good thread until all you unfunny fucks started talking about Muppets Part of this thread is having to wait until the subject becomes germane to you, or moving the subject along. For example the appeal of anime in any form is completely opaque to me, and it regularly crops up in this thread, but I deal with it by ignoring the discussion (because it isn't relevant to my interests) and either raising my own SMM, or overtly engaging with someone trying to change the subject. Much more helpful than me yelling 'lmao weebs'.

So what you're saying we need an anime adaptation done with Muppets. Maybe Grave of the Fireflies. Or Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend.

We already got a Muppets anime  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9z9FcCRj3s (The show was animated by the Japanese and Korean production companies Toei Animation and AKOM) It also already gave us that Muppets / Star Wars crossover that people were talking about earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AyGfXVY2dE ... plus Indiana Jones, etc etc

I would like you to consider extremely carefully why nobody has previously suggested introducing small innocent child characters to one of Anime's most notorious rape pornos.

Relevant excellent article that I've read as tradition every Christmas the last few years: A Grand Yuletide Theory: The Muppet Christmas Carol is the Best Adaptation of A Christmas Carol Ethan Warren posted:I do believe the approximately 1,800 words we just spent on topics ranging from not the Muppets to extremely not the Muppets is essential to my grand theory making any sense, but for anyone who may have skimmed this entire section in a vain search for the name “Kermit,” I will repeat, emphatically, that: Bogmonster has a new favorite as of 20:30 on Sep 4, 2023 |
