Fuck Avengers 87. I want a Muppet remake of 12 Angry Men
Fuck Avengers 87. I want a Muppet remake of 12 Angry Men
In the 2011 Muppets movie, Gonzo had moved on from the Muppets ensemble and started his own flourishing toilet company: Gonzo's Royal Flush.
He initially rejects Kermit's plea to return to the Muppets. His life as a CEO was what he wanted. His fine suit, his fine wife (a Chicken, of course), his sprawling business empire... He was living the dream.
But then, he comes to, and decides to rejoin the Muppets.
But this is the best part, from his suit, he withdraws a detonator.
He activates it, and blows up his whole industrial complex.
Like, why did he have to destroy it? Why did he decide to rig his whole operation with explosives? Was he really coming to work every day with the detonator in his breast pocket??
This is the high drama piece I want. I want to see Gonzo rise to the top while his internal struggles and duality is tearing him apart.

9G/11 was an inside job

The Rocky Horror Muppet Show
48If you haven’t seen Meet The Feebles, you should.
20A movie that opens with a walrus fucking a cat. This is not even the slightest exaggeration.
Relatedly, Jim Henson originally wanted to name the Muppets show "The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence." This was to set it apart from his kid friendly Sesame Street productions, an image he was afraid he'd be saddled and typecast with forever.
This probably inspired the tone of the Feebles. Nobody believes it was directed by Peter Jackson. Yes, that Peter Jackson.

Directed by Tim Burton.

The best Muppet movies are modern retellings of old stories, like Treasure Island or A Christmas Carol. So I say we make Muppet Fall of the House of Usher.
33Muppet call of cthulhu, I want to see a muppet shoggoth
9Um acktully the Shoggoth didn't appear until At the Mountains of Madness which came out a decade after The Call of Cthulu

So... Have you seen Meet The Feebles...
7I unironically want Muppet Masque of the Red Death

I want a remake the Knives Out movies with nothing but Muppets and Daniel Craig.
29Whom Miss Piggy consistently suspects is actually 007, refuses to accept any proof to the contrary, and makes increasingly amorous overtures to vow to keep his secret safe? These, naturally, only end up confounding the investigation's progress rather quickly, all the way up to her faking her own death (to "flush out the real killer"), and Benoit breaks the 4th wall when he realizes he's now trapped in a series of movies with the lot of them.
18[not Muppet related]
The second Knives Out movie was inspired by the far superior 'The Last Of Shelia.' Watch it and enjoy.

I still want Muppet Black Panther so that Wakawakanda can become a reality.
23Fozzie holds up a hand. "We don't do that here!"
He runs to the opposite end of the landing pad, away from the camera
"We do that over HERE!"
15Brilliant. Now we just have to convince Disney to use two properties it already owns to make something truly outrageous.

The Muppets Saving Private Ryan

MMAAMAAAAAAA!!!

Interesting, because the last 25 years of Muppet productions have generated abysmally little interest.
18I’m still hoping for Muppets Princess Bride
17I'll never understand why movie companies don't listen to fans. We NEED a muppets cinematic universe. 12 angry men, yes. The wire remade with muppets, green light. Train spotting, promotion.
17The thing about Live Action Adaptations of an Animated Work is an Obscure Hollywood loophole where you don't have to pay anybody involved in the originals any royalties.
I forget the exact Court Case but a couple decades ago the courts decided that the live action remake and the animated film it was based on were too different to warrant royalties, even in the case of 1 to 1 scene recreations.
17I don't want them to get royalties, I want an end to this madness.
Good to know I don't have to feel bad for refusing to watch live action adaptations of cartoons or comics I like though! Draw it or GTFO!
4Yeah they are very clearly, barely disguised cash grabs for the studio and execs only to show a higher profit on a film that won't actually make record highs anymore.
You could tell it from basically just the CGI quality getting worse and worse.
There are super expensive actors and execs that need to get paid and consistent low effort movies with huge budgets can hide that and cheaper production costs leave more to go back as profit for shareholders which is funny enough the same people.
Nothing new for investors to grab hold of and not enough money back, it's like capitalism hit a ceiling and is squeezing itself to death.

Oppenheimer with the Muppets, but it's just a lead up to Bunsen and the Swedish Chef using an exploding cake to launch Beaker into orbit.
16Muppet Zootopia, but also the nudist colony scene is rated NC-17 and shows full, Muppet genitals.
13So Disney gets to ruin the Muppets, too.
12I want a muppet remake of Boondock Saints.
edit: but no muppet for Willem Dafoe, he’s back to reprise his role like nothing is unusual here
11Real talk: is Gonzo the Funnyman and the GF's "cat" is a chicken?
edit: I genuinely hope that AI advances to this degree that "fan art" of this is possible ASAP! I want to make this happen with a series of prompts and consecutive sleepless nights tinkering with it...

I would love to see how Gaston looks in this remake.
11I'd cast him as Sam the Eagle.
11"It is the American...I mean, French way!"
Personally, I'd choose Link Hogthrob.
16
I'd rather shit myself in a sleeping bag than watch another remake.
11Anyone down for a Muppet - Star Trek crossover?
10Pigs In Spaaaace?
18That's a parody, not a crossover.
But let's start with Pigs in Space, or any muppet star fleet crew. They get into the mirror universe. Everyone is expecting evil looking puppets, maybe different colors, darker or something. But it's our well known flesh and blood universe
2
So a full length Pigs in Spaaaaaacccccceeeee!
4I can't believe no one has mentioned this episode of 'Angel.'
3
Muppet Revenge of the Sith, Muppet Order 66.
9Ya'll are crazy. Muppet Princess Bride with Sweetums as Fezzik.
3
I want to see Gonzo as Sam Spade in The Maltese Chicken.
8Wasn't that the plot of the Twilight Zone episode with the pig faces?
7How about a Muppet remake of "Frankenstein"?
6What would be the most inappropriate Muppet remake? Off the top of my head:
- Muppet Schindler's List
- A Serbian Muppet Film
- Requiem for a Muppet Dream
- Muppet Audition
- Old Muppet Boy
5Amen
4Muppet Blade Runner
