#i was thinking who would be the human in the muppet movie

[hypocriticaltypwriter]

BEHOLD! A Muppet Lost Boys AU inspired and thought of by the lovely @gothamslostboy !!! Gotta say the idea immediately put me into a doodle frenzy that I just had to sketch these out really quick! Also have a little rambling if it was an actual movie.

Now, I know what the poll was probably asking was which actual Muppet character would be who- I.E David as Kermit, Rizzo as Marko, or something, but I wanted to explore a more rare idea I’ve seen the Muppets do.

The original cast is very much still around and in the movie, but not the full attention as Michael and the Lost Boys would be. Kermit could maybe be some kind of narrator at the beginning or break the fourth wall here and there with the other Muppet cast following. I’ve seen something like this done in Emmet Otter’s Jug-band Christmas if you wanna get what I’m trynna say, the main plot and focus is with Michael at the puppet Lost Boys, but we aren’t about to go a whole Muppet movie with the Muppets!

I also thought it was a totally cool idea if maybe even Rizzo and Gonzo were like the Frog Brother’s or something- kinda like their dynamic in Treasure Island for those who have seen that one. Also think that Michael wouldn’t be the only human in this universe, I feel like it’d be a mix that’s again, in a lot of Muppet movies where there are people and Muppets, and I think the main folks who wouldn’t be Muppets would be the whole Emerson family, Laddie, and Max.

And we CAN’T forget the actor/super star cameos, those just have to be sprinkled in here and there… Also thought it’d be kinda funny if the Lost Boy Muppets weren’t played by their original live action counter parts, the real TLB cast could make some cameo and say something goofy or witty.

I’m thinking way too much into this anyway thank you for coming to my Ted Talk about MUPPETS.

[deklo]

have u seen that poll that’s like “in a muppet adaptation of the dreamer trilogy who would be the only human?” with declan sweeping the results bc that’s what your muppet sunshine court art made me think of

YES!! and it’s so true 😭 and tbh i’d love to draw the trc characters as muppets too nnfhffbhf perhaps i will one day.

declan really is THE ULTIMATE human in a muppet movie

[infravioletsea]

Anyways, my bestie and I have been discussing how to cast a Muppets adaptation of Chicago:

Roxie Hart: Miss Piggy This one's a no-brainer. The leading lady, an ambitious aspiring star, a surprising temper, the blonde curls? The "They love me" bit from Roxie's song? Plus, Fred Casely getting porkchopped to death is just so funny to me Velma Kelly: The Human When you look at the difference between the way Zellweger and Zeta-Jones dance the same choreography as their resepctive characters in the closing number, what sticks out is the difference. Where Roxie is extravagant and slightly messy, Velma is far more polished, experienced and precise. A chorus girl and a headlining act. A human and a muppet. I'm not too sure who exactly would play her. Maybe Rachel Zegler, since she's expressed interest before and she's proven to be a good singer and dancer already. Either way, Veronica (Velma's twin) is played by a muppet version of the actress. Billy Flynn: Fozzie Bear Can you picture failed standup veteran Fozzie telling Miss Piggy how he's going to get her acquitted? Can you picture THAT GUY playing the lawyer that's never lost a case? Here's a relentless optimist who's always looking for new ways to deliver old material and never lets anyone get him down. Now he's going to defend a woman who DEFINITELY comitted that murder. Which of course brings me to- Miss Sunshine: Statler and Waldorf The back and forth during We Both Reached for the Gun. The hounding questions as thinly veiled insults. Yelling from the Jurors' bench in the middle of the trial. You see my vision. Mama Morton: Sam the Eagle He keeps the law, and runs a tight ship. He's a shoe-in to play a prison warden, even one that does a cabaret number in a fancy dress (which Sam would also perform, dressed exactly like Queen Latifah was in the '02 movie) Amos Hart: Kermit the Frog Finally he shows up. A big part of this casting choice is my friend doing a cover of Cellophane in his voice. For the face of the Muppets as we know them today, Kermit is a fairly understated guy, and I think he could give a lot of depth to Amos as a character. I especially love the idea of him scrunching his face while Miss Roxie sings Funny Honey about him, and him flailing as he goes on a rant when he realises that she killed Fred.

Fred Casely: I wasn't sure which would work better for this one: a human actor sleeping with and getting murdered by Miss Piggy would be funny. Alternatively, Link Hogthrob. He's a smarmy git. He can play another smarmy git. Katalin Helinszki/The Hungarian: Swedish Chef I just really need to hear this guy explaining how he ended up in jail for murder in "Swedish". Plus a Muppet getting executed is so darkly funny to me for some reason.

The Emcee: Rowlf the Dog Honestly I can't explain this one, it just feels right. The Mayhem are the band still, and Rowlf and Teeth split the songs between them. BONUS: The Murderesses Depending on how faithful the adaptation is, it could go either way. An all-human cast save for Piggy and Chef would work if the song was kept the exact same. But I do also like the idea of an all-muppet version of Cell Block Tango with new murder methods: Gonzo (stunt gone wrong) Bunsen (his experiments finally finished off poor Beaker) Crazy Harry (self-explanatory) Animal (starts telling the story of how he went on a homicidial rampage before he's promptly dragged back to the orchestra pit by Floyd)

Anyways, there you have it. That's my pitch.

[the-nosy-neighbor]

Missing

There are people missing throughout the story of Welcome Home.  While these instances are mostly brushed off (what are missing people to an incomplete story?), it is a bit suspect that there are this many instances of mention of people we have no real information about.  So, we have about 3 categories:  missing we might still see, missing then found, and missing concept and context.  As with most things, this is complicated by the story still unfolding in front of us, so we might be able to change these around later.  Also, we aren’t sure where each event is happening in the timeline.

Missing we might still see: 

Julie--We have art of Julie’s siblings, but no siblings.  Her story also tells us that they all lived together in a cave in the woods, until Julie moved to the city.  Indications are that we will be seeing the siblings in the next update.  I believe it is possible that the sibs lived in Home at one point and are now missing.  There are no indications of parents or other extended family.

Eddie—there is a discrepancy here, Eddie is known to have a mother who is also a mail carrier, based on information in illustrated pages, and then it moves right on to say she wasn’t given a name and was only mentioned vaguely through the phone.  I assume Eddie calls her “Mama” like any good southern boy.  We have no idea where she might be, or if he has any other people.  Based on muppet behavior, I don’t think they could have missed out on having his mom come by to talk mail or crafts with him, because I feel like they love a parent/child shared experience.  I think he’s humanoid, but I didn’t see that here (and maybe it’s just mostly because of the style of his nose—see Guy Smiley or The Newsman (shocked to learn he doesn’t have a name))

Pro-tip:  When googling “human muppet” be advised that on r/Midjourney, Famous People if They Were Muppets, nightmare fuel abounds.  I love muppets and I might not sleep tonight.  Also, muppets with human eyes.  No.

I tend to assume that muppets with triangle noses are human and rounded noses are monster, but I don’t think that is a rule by any means. 

However, drawing muppets as human is incredibly endearing. 

Missing then found:

Maybe Howdy—We knew that Howdy had a ton of relatives from previous stories he has told, but we did not hear anything about the people who actually showed up.  I am assuming this would be a gag, random new family members showing up, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see the return of Howdo, Youdo, and his beatnik brother. 

Mama Beagle—She is found during Homewarming, but not sure where this commercial falls in the timeline.  She was definitely a big enough role to warrant her own product.  She lives on a farm, which is where Barnaby grew up.  AKA “The Chicken that Crossed the Road”

People we didn’t/don’t know were/are missing:

Frank’s people:  If Frank has any people, we don’t know about it.  His origins were a mystery. 

Sally’s people:  Anyone associated with Sally.  Given that she is a star, who knows if she has “people.”

Poppy’s people:  Poppy:  Comes from a nest of poppies in a hollow tree in the forest.  We don’t know that she has people definitely, but she has described her parents as a “flamingo on her father’s side and a bit of a hen on her mother’s side.”  Secret half-sibling to Barnaby?  It might warrant the size of the two being similar.  I think she is kind of a cross between Big Bird and Clifford the Big Red Dog.  (I looked at those two, and Big Bird isn’t explained and neither is Clifford, beyond that the author thought it would be fun.  I reject “love” being the answer because it was from the later movie.)  We could see people related to her, but I would imagine they will be normal bird size (which is really relative, considering Mama Beagle’s size.)

D—In the ad from the first iteration of the website, D is missing, and I believe it is a character.  I think it is Sunny, but I know it is not canon and Clown said.  I still think it.

I will feel bad about it, if that is the case, because I keep saying it.

Aside from the above, other art that gives this idea:

Theories exist that this image shows Barnaby’s fur as a patch, blood on Wally’s fingers, and his fingers covering a picture of Barnaby on the cover, which is considered to possibly be a missing persons/murder story.  All kinds of things could land you in the paper, though, and the whole image has red shading.

People that go missing throughout:

Eddie is missing during Homewarming, specifically the album.  (cut off on record after his name)

Poppy is missing during Homewarming, specifically that party  (confirmed in her bio)

Non-canon art that gives this impression:

I feel like there was another in this series. I do have an image of Sunny in this same style, like it is from the same book, but he doesn't get disappeared in his.

This one shows neighbors on the dial that have been taped over, as if they are no longer needed. Sinister.

Moby Dick Muppet movie fancasts

Ishmael: Kermit, enough said.

Queenpeg: The human character (tm.) Queenpeg seems like a pretty reasonable dude who would work well acting next to muppets, and having him share a bed with Kermit is reason enough alone for a human character. I don’t have any actor ideas though, so if you have any, go ahead.

Bildad and Peleg: Beaker and Bunsen respectively. They already have the old married couple bickering going on, and Bildad and Beaker both have a slight temper.

Starbuck: Fozzie. I think it would be a lot of fun to see him try to be the voice of reason for Gonzo of all muppets, and based on his behavior in the show, I doubt he’d be very good at it.

The cook: The Swedish Chef. Obviously.

Ahab: Gonzo. He’s crazy enough. Granted, they are two different kinds of crazy, but that will just make things more interesting.

The Muppets Present: The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals

based on @the-muppets-present. saw their rule list and felt inspired. might do the other hatchetfield shows later if i feel so inclined :)

i just felt like the story of “average office worker who hates musicals gets trapped in a musical” was just begging to be muppetified.

so, without further ado,

ted- guys i went through so many options for ted. it was immediately hard. eventually i decided on rizzo, because i feel like similarly to ted, he’s kind of an asshole that causes problems for himself and everyone around him. plus, the “kick my head!” scene is even funnier if ted is like. one foot tall.

bill- kermit. i think kermit can and should be a sad dad. bill is like the most earnest man in hatchetfield and the idea of kermit being deeply disappointed that his friend won’t help him reconnect with his estranged daughter because he hates musicals so much is so funny to me.

professor hidgens- gonzo. duh. camilla is alexa. gonzo is the most eccentric bitch in the cast and would 100% kill people to get his musical produced. imagine gonzo shouting “come on you bastard!” at the apocalypse. gonzo would get struck by lightning and climb out of a pile of his friends’ bodies. he just would.

charlotte- miss piggy. stay with me here. from a meta standpoint, i always find it funny when piggy plays the secondary female role in a muppet movie and gets annoyed about it in interviews. from a character standpoint, post-infection charlotte’s high energy would be great to see if it was performed by the one and only piggy. imagine miss piggy singing join us and die. imagine the beginning part. she just beats the shit out of rizzo. gonzo shoots her.

mr. davidson- fozzie. idk i just got a mental image of him putting the newspaper down like jeff blim does at the beginning of the song and then fucking. waggling his ears.

sam- this one was hard because i had to think of you tied up my heart and show me your hands. i eventually picked link hogthrob. sam’s a pig, link’s a pig, etc.

alice- janice. hear me out. it’s not just because she’s “the other girl muppet.” imagine if alice just looked at bill and went “whatever, man” and walked away. truthfully thinking more about watcher world than tgwdlm for this one.

paul- jon matteson. paul stays the same, babeyyy. i think it just adds another fucking layer to his panic because not only is everyone randomly singing around him, they’re fucking muppets. just imagine la dee dah dah day if he was surrounded by muppets. he’s just some guy in a weird situation, and just some guy he shall stay.*

emma- lauren lopez. so i am breaking the number one rule of muppetfication to keep emma the same, but there’s a method to my goddamn madness. the only person paul can relate to in hatchetfield is the one other human being. plus, again, imagine the end of inevitable with emma screaming and crying while surrounded by fucking muppets.

*so i lied. just some guy he shall not stay. when inevitable starts, you first hear paul’s voice. he’s singing, just like he does in the show. emma very quietly goes “paul?” the same way, too. but what’s different is you can’t see paul. the camera pans over.

paul is a muppet.

he’s one of the lookalike ones, like from the first two episodes of the show and the jason segel one from the 2011 muppet movie.

“paul, you’re scaring me” indeed.

Con and Nathan, highlights #6

Q. (asked on behalf of the youngest attendee at the con who I think was only about 4 years old and had the best outfits of the weekend! She got a bit shy so mum asked her question instead) What’s your favourite dinosaur?

Con and Nathan were both totally charmed, and Con said ‘do you know the pterodactyl? then someone in the audience yelled out ‘they’re not dinosaurs!’ and Con said quite indignantly, er did I say they were? and shook his head in a jokey way like, can you believe what I have to put up with? Then he asked the lil' cutie what her favourite dinosaur was (didn’t quite catch the name!) and said well, that’s my favourite too and there was a collective ‘awwww!’ from the audience.

Q. Samba said his dream ending for Roach would be to go out in a super chaotic way while taking out as many enemies as possible, is there anything you would have liked to see your character do?

Con came straight back with a very emphatic ‘Live!’ which got a huge cheer. Nathan said his dream ending for the show would be an epic battle with all the other characters going out one by one in a blaze of glory, and somehow Lucius is the last person left but as he turns to walk away from the scene, he trips over his own feet, hits his head and dies.

Q. We’re all familiar with the idea of Izzy being the only human in a muppet movie, but if you had to cast all the OFMD characters as muppets, who would everyone be?

Con said Stede would be Kermit, then nodded at Nathan and said ‘Miss Piggy?’ which Nathan wasn't too impressed with. He was trying to think of someone else better suited, but Con was having none of it. Nathan then said that he was suddenly realising he didn't know the muppets as well as he'd thought. He did an impression of Beaker and was musing about who that would be before turning to Con and saying oh, you! Someone in the audience called out no, Izzy would be Sam the Eagle, but Con wasn’t sold on the idea and mentioned the grumpy old guys instead. He said Jenkins was the one that first sent him the tweet about the muppets as he thought it was very true. Then Con picked back up on the Lucius/Miss Piggy connection - Nathan still wasn't loving it, and was like but isn’t there one that’s all sexy? before realising, oh that is actually Miss Piggy and finally giving in. Con said Fozzy Bear would be Pete, and Nathan was like yessss - ugh, the love of my life with a super cute and dreamy expression.

Q. Who would you go to a convention to see?

Con said Tina Fey and Al Pacino, referring back to an earlier answer about who he'd most like to work with. Nathan said it’d have to be someone who was kind of godlike to him, and if it could be someone from any era, his favourite singer of all time is Ella Fitzgerald. Con said he’d love to see the Brat Pack reunited, and Nathan mentioned seeing Jon Bernthal (Shane from The Walking Dead) at a con recently, and being all like ‘woof!’ Con thought Alias was excellent TV and all the actors from the show went on to become super famous, so he’d go to see them.

any outlanders christmas headcannons? :3

You know, I HAVE been thinking of Christmas-based scenarios recently (i.e “A Christmas Carol” with Reirei) so why not?

Also idk if you mean in-universe headcanons or a human au so ig I’ll do both!

Everyone has a hand in decorating the tree. Everyone has different taste in Christmas decorations so it’s very diverse

They binge watch all the “good” Christmas movies like “Home Alone” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

They also warm up to “Muppets Christmas Carol” bc I said so

You know damn well who would do the equivalent of this to caroling animals

Your “Secret Santa” idea still prevails and the Idiots still don’t understand the concept. Either that or they reveal everybody’s secrets

You know that joke where someone’s stocking is huge compared to the others? That’s Cheezi “I’ve been really good this year!”

I think mistletoe grows in Africa so the skinks definitely place it here and there. It’s cute for Janja and Jasiri and Reirei and Goigoi….not so much for the crocs. Tamka and Neema ended up under it and actually gagged at the thought of kissing each other

Ig Kiburi changed the tradition so they fight under mistletoe instead cuz it’s the crocodile way

You know how Pumbaa dressed up as “Dandy Claws”? Jasiri got Janja to do the same thing hfhfhf

“Not a word…”

The skinks are definitely on the Naughty List. You know why

However when threatened that they would get coal, Shupavu insisted on making money off of it…or at least using it to build up the fire to keep warm so take THAT, Santa!

Chungu, Cheezi, and Tamka are not allowed to go into the kitchen cuz their fatasses ate all of the Christmas cookies

[jennelikejennay]

Pondering the different versions we've had of Kirk, Spock, and Bones.

There's actually no one version of Trek which is flawless. We can set TOS as the gold standard, or we can pick and choose.

For me, it goes like this:

Pine Kirk: best looks. I'm sorry, young Shatner looks pretty nice but he is not in the same league.

Shatner Kirk: best characterization. Because of the changes in the Kelvin timeline, AOS Kirk is a completely different guy. There are similarities, but TOS Kirk has a gravitas I really like. He's not a kid. He's a starship captain.

Wesley Kirk: I hated him at first, but I'm starting to see it. You can see Kirk's kindness, his way of getting people to open up to him (even La'an!), his ability to get the best out of people.

Still, he looks kinda like a muppet. Idk.

Nimoy Spock: best looks. The other two are great, sure, but the cheekbones? The lanky but strong figure? The VOICE?! You can't beat Nimoy Spock.

Quinto Spock: best characterization. I know, how can you outSpock the original Spock, but bear with me. TOS struggled a bit sometimes to decide who Spock would be. He's serious, deadpan, and then they get bored and spray him with sex pollen or something to get him to do something else. Quinto has the advantage of a serious character arc where we get to see the tension between Spock's feeling and emotion, his human and Vulcan sides. I consider the backstory in the 09 movie absolutely canon for the main timeline.

My only complaint is, destroying Vulcan is too sad. Seriously, JJ. We can traumatize Spock without throwing a massive complex trauma into the entire universe that every future work is going to have to cope with.

Peck Spock: he certainly is hot, and his voice is much more like Nimoy's than Quinto's is. He does have the tension that Quinto has, though in a less intense form. He's missing a bit, though. Why isn't he greener? Where is your eyeshadow, Mr. Spock? Where is your SASS? As Strange New Worlds continues, I really hope he grows in his ability to sass.

Bones: honestly??? Kelly and Urban are the same dude. Karl Urban simply becomes Bones. Hard to have a preference of one over the other when they are both so perfect. TOS Bones does have the advantage of looking older, which seems more in character for a guy that grumpy. But AOS Bones is of course much hotter.

What do you guys think? Am I wrong? Who did these amazing characters best?

[jisreal64]

So one of the reasons I joined this site and because of the Tumblr Sexypeople phenomenon. But that got me wondering, what is the exact criteria for a Tumblr Sexyperson? So I compiled some data and came up with my own conclusion that a fictional character must meet three or more of these requirements in order to qualify:

1. Popularity

The character has to be popular on Tumblr or similar websites like Twitter and YouTube, whether that be through fan art, fan fiction, cosplays, etc. I personally think that this is the biggest trait a character must have in order to qualify, and I feel that most people would agree.

2. Simps

These characters have to have a lot of people who lust over them and have to be popular with either straight women, gay men, lesbian/sapphic women, or straight men. Some characters who meet this criteria include (but are not limited to):

-The Onceler from the 2012 Lorax movie

-Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8

-Bowsette from that one Super Mario fan comic

-Death from PiB 2

-Alastor from Hazbin Hotel

-Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel

-Edward Cullen from Twilight

-Lola Bunny from Space Jam

-Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

3. Dapperly Dressed

A lot of these characters are just as fashionable as they are hot. Often wearing either a suit and tie with a top hat, or a sundress with either a fur coat, sunglasses, or purse. Such is the case with the following:

-The Onceler from the Lorax 2012

-Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls

-Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8

-Tony the Talking Clock from DHMIS

-Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

-Dr. Faciler from the Princess and the Frog

-Cruella DeVil from 101 Dalmatians and Cruella

-Glamrock Freddy from FNaF Security Breach

4. Evil/Edgy

There’s always a certain angst regarding a lot of these characters. Some include:

-Sans from Undertale

-Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls

-Eda Clawthorne from the Owl House

-Alastor from Hazbin Hotel

-William Afton from FNaF

-King Magnifico from Wish

-Zurg from Toy Story

-Scar from the Lion King

-Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8

-The Onceler from the Lorax 2012

-Spider-Man 2099 from Across the Spiderverse

5. Queer

Whether this type of trend comes from gay people who want to be in a same sex relationship with them, or straight people who fetishize them, queer identities play a pivotal role in a big portion of this community. Examples include:

-Alastor from Hazbin Hotel (asexual)

-Monika from DDLC (pansexual)

-Madeline from Celeste (transgender woman, sapphic)

-Brisket from Guilty Gear (transgender woman)

-Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel (gay cross dresser)

-Charlie from Hazbin Hotel (bisexual)

-Eda Clawthorne from the Owl House (queer)

-Sander Cohen from Bioshock (gay)

-Stolas from Helluva Boss (gay)

-Loki from the MCU (bisexual)

6. Inhuman

These characters are often other worldly beings that aren’t human. Some examples include:

-Alastor from Hazbin Hotel

-Loki from the MCU

-Sans from Undertale

-Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls

-The Beast from Over the Garden Wall

-Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8

-Ursula from the Little Mermaid

-Eda Clawthorne from the Owl House

-Edward Cullen from Twilight

-Auntie Nyan Nyan from Sucker for Love

7. Furry

Like it or not, furries play a big role in the community, as such, many Tumblr Sexypeople are often anthropomorphic animals. Some examples include:

-Robin Hood from the Disney movie of the same name

-Lola Bunny from Space Jam

-Judy Hoops from Zootopia

-The Big Bad Wolf from The Bad Guys

-Bowser from The Super Mario Bros. Movie

-Loona from Helluva Boss

-Death from PiB 2

-Scar from The Lion King

-Toriel from Undertale

-Miss Piggy from The Muppets

-Roxanne Wolf from FNaF Security Breach

-Legoshi from Beastars

8. Memes

Last but certainly not least is the factor that makes people talk about this craze in the first place, the memes relating to these characters. Memes have always played a big role on the internet, and our fictional crushes are no exception from them. Some examples include:

-Bowsette from that one Super Mario fan comic

-Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil 8

-Jack Horner from PiB 2

-Pomni from TADC

-Thanos from the MCU

-Sans from Undertale

-Queen from Deltarune

-William Afton from FNaF

-Arthur Morgan from RDR2

-Kylo Ren from Star Wars

-Shrek from Shrek

-Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town

-Megamind from Megamind

-Dr. Faciler from the Princess and the Frog

-The Doom Slayer/Doomguy from Doom

-GLaDOS from Portal

-Dr. Robotnik/Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog

-Dr. Bright from the SCP Foundation

-The Joker from DC Comics

-Stan Pines from Gravity Falls

-Peter Griffin from Family Guy

-Slenderman

This is my interpretation of what makes a Tumblr Sexyperson a Tumblr Sexyperson, of course this is my own personal opinion so feel free to politely disagree with me if you want. Other than that, HAPPY MAY DAY!!!

[tast3slikedirt]

If you could remake your favorite movie with a full Muppet cast, keeping one human actor from the original, what movie are you remaking and who are you keeping?

Well my favourite movie would probably be the first Spider-Verse movie so that's a bit of a loaded question, but i am going to assume that human in this case just means the original character? So i would say Miles is gonna stay human

I think it'd be so funny seeing all of the spider people as muppets, and seeings miles be the odd one out would be kind of symbolic if we were overthinking it way too much

Beyond just that i think the casts' personalities are so distinct that they'd all fit perfectly as a gang of muppets lmao

Peter B Parker and Peter Porker as muppets would be HILARIOUS i can't be convinced otherwise

[termytheantisocialbutterfly]

How would you cast a muppet terminator? Who would be the only human actor among the main cast? Can be either a retelling of the original or an original script

listen, ive thought about this all night and i think the only right choice is for arnold to be the only human actor in the main cast. there's no other terminator to me.

sarah connor: miss piggy

kyle reese: kermit

punks: dr teeth and electric mayhem

doctor silberman: dr bunsen honeydew

detective hal: animal

ginger: camilla the chicken

traxler: fozzie bear

matt: gonzo

but also, in the interest of being funny, i submit that this be a muppet movie turned on its head. the entire rest of the cast is human, the terminator is the only muppet. this is played completely straight

[fated-normal-767]

Theproject but it’s a muppets movie and Shimmer is the only human: thoughts ?

I think it’d definitely work but I also think there are funny options to who could be the human. Like there’s disadvantages and advantages to everyone. Any of the robots being the only human would funny as fuck. Python is the only human and then he does his whole killing himself to turn into a robot thing and he comes back played as a muppet then basil is introduced as the new only human. I think basil being human would be incredible because of her whole obsession with killing her family which I think should be played off completely seriously but her whole family is muppets. She does not mention this. Ares would work well as the only human but I don’t think she should be because it’d work too well. Tenebris/later Pluto as the only human maybe? I don’t know. You’ve created such a beautiful world there’s so much you could consider

[butterscotch-goat]

if your story was made into a muppet remake which muppets would play your ocs and who would be the token human actor

I thought. way too hard about this. TL:DR Aster would be the token human, Beatrice would be played by Fozzie, Charles by Bunsen, Grace by Kermit, Eli by Rowlf, and Martha by Gonzo. way-too-thorough explanations below cut i am so so sorry ace

Hhokay, This is a tricky (but fun!) question for me for a couple of reasons.

1. Imagining potential muppet gore and muppet emotional manipulation and muppet public execution was. An experience.

2. Balancing finding a muppet with a similar personality or overall vibe as each character and and/or one with a similar narrative role or occupation?? Depending on which makes my job easier??

3. Humanity is such an integral thematic topic in Escapism that picking who to be the only human was going to be. Tricky,

In an IDEAL world, both Aster and Grace would be played by Real People, as they're the characters that have their humanity ripped from them the most and in the most intense ways, but that kind of felt like cheating since the main cast is so small.

Aster would make sense to be the Token Person since she's the main character and is on screen the most, she's arguably put through worse conditions than Grace for longer periods of time (other than. Literally dying.) and also I don't know how muppet surgery would work, and finding a muppet to play Aster feels like a DAUNTING task.

But it would make sense for GRACE to be the Token Person bc she's sanctified til the very end of her life and doesn't fully get her humanity back as a character until Martha gets Character Developed AFTER Grace's death. And Grace is a little bit of a worst-case-scenario to Aster and meant to be a fresh look on another magician's experience so having a brand new Real Person against a bunch of Muppets would work with that.

Ultimately I'll have Aster be the Token Person since we spend the most time with her. But if you'll let me cheat a little bit it's both Aster and Grace. Don't ask me about actors because I don't know actors,, finding references of people with similar enough faces to those two for my semi-semi-realism pieces was challenging enough.

Okay now the hard part. This took so long because I had to set aside an afternoon to watch at least ONE muppet movie and I kept either having school stuff or wanted to draw,, I ended up just watching The Muppet Movie and writing down lines or interactions I thought could apply to a character.

I would have Beatrice played by Fozzie Bear because of his sidekick-ish role, how he does his best to refuse to admit when he's in a bad situation and gets himself to persevere through everything with a smile, how he always seemed so ready to protect his friends (Kermit, at least) and how he's borderline desperate to make people laugh. Also the way he always says "Yes sir" to Kermit? I don't post my writing much but Beatrice calls people "Mister" and "Miss" a lot even when it's unnecessary to, kind of like in a Samwise Gamgee way?? Mister Frodo?? You know??

Charles was hard to decide because he has so many facets to him that are all SO wildly different. I went for I guess what'd be the obvious option of Bunsen Honeydew; Bunsen specifically reminded me a lot of Charles at the beginning of Escapism, welcoming and friendly, almost monotone, even while talking about the silliest most deranged science-related things.

Grace was somewhat easier than I anticipated though I don't think Kermit is a super obvious choice, but his mildly sad and pathetic manner mixed with his sense of authority and self-assured air is similar enough to Grace on her better days. Also Kermit was only really convinced to go to Hollywood when he realized he could make people happy, which is very Grace-core.

Eli was difficult because he is the most normal member of the cast. They have the least amount of screws loose by far. I think Rowlf the Dog suits him enough because of his solitary nature but care for people around him.

Martha was also surprisingly easy. Gonzo matches her general "weirdness", her social awkwardness, and her sincere love for the world around her. And also the non-binary vibes. Every day Martha gets more and more non binary...

I hope. I didn't commit any muppet crimes or anything. I grew up on the movies but don't watch them all that much anymore, but honestly I had such a fun time watching The Muppet Movie (Kermit riding a bike will never not be the coolest goddamn thing) so maybe I'll get around to watching more muppet movies. If anyone has any suggestions for muppets for any characters I didn't mention, or better choices for characters that I did, I'd love to hear them !!!!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR ASKING, ACE!!!!!

If awbtl was made into a muppet remake which muppets would play which characters and who would be the token human actor

oh god . I've put too much thought into this. I am decidedly a muppets casual please go easy on me if I've broken any of the Muppet laws. Full thing under the cut

J would probably be the token human- J is a normal person from earth cast into a captalist hell world with a bigass robot in it. That strikes me as very token human in a muppets movie. No clue who would play J. I don't know actors.

One would be Gonzo. My reasons-

-would start a game of life feud with someone due to dumb luck

-blue

-vaguely nonbinary

-unclear species

Midas & Lisa would be Statler & Waldorf- I think it would be fun to imagine them heckling people together. Midas's like the provincial champion of complaining and Lisa desperately needs an outlet for her lawyer anxieties (anxieties that lawyers have). Also they're the two most humanish muppets I can think of. Also they're both pairs of old people.

Archer would be Animal but I don't feel like elaborating on that. Paul would be Fozzie or some other, more secret muppet, that they only tell you about if you watch every film ten times in a row.

Aleks would be Kermit, Evlyn would be Miss Piggy. They'll be fine. They're a perfect couple. Both pairings are also green and pink! Aleks is also Kermit because they both seem sad and pathetic. Wait Kermit I didn't mean that I'm sorry mr. The frog.

Ed and Bel would be bunsen and beaker. They both have the rectangle and circle. Thing. And they're nigh inseperable- or would be if they weren't in capitalist hell world.

Bard suggested Pathos could be some spider from a Muppet Christmas Carol, but I didn't know who that was so my brain went straight to PATHOS IS THE AMERICAN EAGLE. just leaving you with that thought. Good night.

Talking more about this idea because people seem to like it :3

- Neither Zoot or Lips know how to drive the bus, it would crash at LEAST twice.

- Most of the sound track would either be parodies or covers of past muppet songs, just with like- 20x more saxophone and trumpet. Imagine these two idiots trying their best to sing Moving Right Along.

- They're both weirdly magical, it's never addressed but it saves their lives quite a few times.

- I've said it before and I'll say it again, There will be a tango somewhere in this movie. My thoughts are maybe it could be trying to remind Teeth of who he is.

- Neither of them sing much, most of their songs are accompanied by them just playing their instruments, but they do get songs.

- Epic villain song. The antagonist band is mostly a mirror of the electric mayhem. They're led by a human though.

- Lots of cameos from famous musicians. Give me a Taylor Swift cameo.

- They work with a lot of other muppets. Any Muppet you can think of are in at least one scene.

Feel free to add on! This is such a silly idea, I might doodle some bits of it while learning to use Krita tomorrow :3

Also feel free to suggest a title because I do not have any ideas at all.
