If you’re okay with them not being muppets, check out Dorkness Rising. Once they start playing, about 15 minutes in, the action bounces back between the players and the characters. It’s old but still works.
Dorkness Rising is their second movie, and it makes a lot of references and throwbacks to the first.
Maybe the first episode could be shot with the famous actors playing it up for the camera, and the rest of the campaign could be just a podcast with the Muppet voice actors and maybe slideshow illustrations for YouTube/Patreon?
I love the original idea, but there’s no way that would be sustainable for the art least hour a week content I feel most podcast subscribers would expect.
I would. Honestly.
I would rather just have a good normal muppet movie and not a gimmic
I don’t know how you are able to say that with a straight face.
Muppets Movie - Muppet Origin Story
Muppets Caper - Muppets but jewel heist
Muppets Take Manhattan - Muppets run a Musical
Muppets Christmas Carol - Really?
Muppets Treasure Island - Really?
Muppets From Space - REALLY?
The Muppets - The only ‘normal’ movie and it references all the nonsense from the previous ones
Muppets Most Wanted - Criminal muppets
Sir, every single Muppet movie has a freakin’ gimmick.
It’d be a great skit, but the gag would get old pretty quick for anything full-length.
Do you’re saying we’d only get seven or eight seasons of it ?
It’d get old by the end of the skit.
I mean that kinda goes for every muppet movie…I’d still watch it
You lost me at Jason Momoa, the faster that Douchbag is out of every movie the better
There’s no controversy segment in his wikipedia article.
There’s lots out there about him being a creep behind the scenes on GOT, him being a drunk asshole on aqua man, him treating staff like shit on Minecraft, i myself have a personal experience of him fucking over an entire con crowd. Lots of stories also about him being a dick to restaurant staff and using the “do you know who I am?” Line
We’re gonna need some context for your reaction.
Long story but I went to a con once where he fucked over every fan who wanted to see him. Additionally there are stories out there of him being a complete “do you know who I am??” Style asshole to regular people and service workers out there. By all accounts he’s a dick, even the shit he used to do backstage on game of thrones is creepy as fuck and anyone who doesn’t look like him would have been canceled by now
Just recently there are news stories about him being an asshole to crew on the Minecraft set, being drunk on aqua man and acting like a jackass. He’s a roid monkey so it’s no surprise
Got any links for the Game of Thrones one? I couldn’t find any articles about that particular story.
From what I remember he made a rape joke like “im so glad I get to rape beautiful women for a living” or something, also reports of him acting bts in ways that a less attractive man would get called “creepy” over.
If you google “monos is an asshole” im sure you’ll get lots of results. Lots of fan interaction stories.
My personal one, went to con, wife wanted a pic with momoa. Most expensive celeb to get a pic with. Halfway through the lineup they sell out. 10 minutes later his team announces that all buys have been cancelled and people have to rebuy, but now at double the price. Huge dick move, fleecing his fans.
Not sure about acting, but I’ve not heard anything douchy about him personally
Have you looked? Used to be a drunk, belligerent asshole while filming aqua man, pulls the “do you know who I am???” Shit on restaurant staff, and there’s a brand new story out now about him being an asshole to the crew of the Minecraft movie
I gotta ask, why do you even spend your time to know such things? What a waste of time.
Got a reason for that? Or just don’t like him?
Look it up, he’s one of those guys who uses celebrity to treat service staff like shit, was a creepy asshole behind the scenes on GOT to the female costars, drunk and yelling on the set of aqua man, there’s also a new story out about him being an asshole to the crew of Minecraft
Look it up
Translation: It’s utter nonsense and I cannot find any reputable source to back up my claims.
Bro, you’re making the accusation here. I’m not going to go around and do your legwork for you. I’m just going to assume what you said is bullshit. ESPECIALLY when co-stars from Game of Thrones have said the dead opposite. Emilia Clarke has come out and said he was a joy to work with. The closest accusation I can think of was some extremely badly judged joke he made in 2011 that he openly apologiezd for.
Also, I heard about the Minecraft thing. It was from a single person who said they saw it happening to someone else. Their accusation was that they’re yelling. I am not going to be jumping on a bandwagon of “Fuck this dude” unless I know the reason as to what was going on. Like two actors got given a ton of shit for yelling at people in the past and I am perfectly fine with those.
Why? Because sometimes yelling at someone isn’t abuse, it’s telling them off for fucking everything up for hundreds of other people. Christian Bale losing his mind at a dude who openly walked through a filming zone when they had very specific timing to do it, were under pressure like a motherfucker, it requires resets and that the filming conditions were dangerous and that dude had been told off before about his actions? I’m fine with that. Tom Cruise yelling at someone for endangering the entire filming crew of a movie during COVID? I’m fine with that. I have no idea if I’m fine with Momoa doing it or not because I don’t have the context and neither do you.
Put up or shut up. I am so tired of this gossipy horseshit of “Oh he’s a terrible person because of <something I’m half remembering from years ago>” and considering all your other comments in here, that’s all your accusations are. Half remembered.
Can I ask - what’s this about the filming conditions for Terminator Salvation requiring specific timing and being dangerous? This is the first I’ve heard of that.
I couldn’t care less about this actor. Don’t even know who he is.
That said, yelling at people you work with is never appropriate man. That’s verbal abuse and “they screwed up” is not an excuse. As the power differential grows between two coworkers, it becomes even less acceptable.
Really stupid take, given context. I’ve seen people do shit that could kill their coworkers or bystanders. A good yelling at is the least that’s deserved, sometimes.
Nah. Hard disagree. If you’re doing something stupid and are told politely several times to stop doing it but then continue doing it? Especially when your actions are wasting thousands of dollars and putting people at risk due to the environment you’re in? You deserve to be yelled at.
If you believe your own personal decision gets to trump the financial and literal health of someone when everyone had to make extreme sacrifices to be able to do this and you just didn’t want to? When it could have resulted in someone’s death? You deserve to be yelled at.
Politeness has its limit.
Or, you know, you handle it like a healthy, well adjusted, adult with anger management skills. That’s also an option.
If someone can’t handle mistakes being made without screaming, they have no business being in management and need to spend a little more time in therapy.
You’re assuming they haven’t tried that road. Again and again and again.
Some people need the volume turned up to get it
Or, you know, they value human life enough to actually get emotional instead of being clinical as hell.
I’m sorry but if I work somewhere and find out that a coworker nearly killed me after being politely told not to a half dozen times, I’m going to be furious. I’m going to become murderous if I then find out management were super polite and wore kid gloves about the dude nearly killing other people after they’ve been told a half dozen times that they’re nearly killing people.
I agree that yelling shouldn’t be the first thing but there is 100% a point in which case you deserve to be yelled at if you’re ENDANGERING LIVES.
Valuing manners over teaching someone a lesson so someone else doesn’t get killed is never an argument you will successfully make with me. Just a reason for me to not trust you to do what needs to be done if all hell were to go loose.
You want me to gather al the links you can easily look up on google just so you can ignore them? That’s why I don’t post it and tell you to look it up because it’s not a secret and it’s all over. If you want to cheer and like an abusive dude and ignore all his bad and downvote people who call out his awfulness fine, but that’s why it’s a waste of my time, because you’re dug in regardless of what I put in front of you.
I could gather the links since again his bullshit is all over, but you’re just gonna ignore the sources
Here’sa few anyways although I know you will shit on it and defend your bro
https://x.com/synthics/status/1835071209764982955
There are also dozens of fan interaction stories including my own, where momoa showed a complete lack of class and respect to fans
Your first link is an opinion of someone else’s post. That post being the vague Minecraft accusation I mentioned prior.
And your second link is the badly made joke he did in 2011 that I mentioned.
Your personal anecdote also doesn’t reflect reality.
As stated, you have no credible link you can share which is why you told me to do it. You are aware that you don’t have anything remotely close to resembling proof of your accusation so you’re being vague and dismissive.
But youre also incapable of admitting fault which is why you’re doubling down on your accusations of him while not providing any evidence for it.
Go away.
Well there you go, you did exactly what I said you would do. Keep worshipping toxic bros, what do I care?
P.s Stamets would be ashamed of your general aggressive demeanour towards people calling out toxic masculinity, and worship of shitty men
ok but hear me out.
this but the muppet babies.
Nanny DM: Animal? Make me a wisdom roll…
Animal: Nat 20! Nat 20! Yayayaya!
Kermit: Erm, Animal? You, uh, rolled a D12…
Animal: Nat 20! Yayayaya!
Kermit: Good grief…
I could have swore this was an actual episode.
actually just found out they kinda did it on the 2018 version (though it was more like larping less d&d) -> sir kermit the brave
Holy fuck this is GOLD!
Good lord this is brilliant !
This already exists but the other way around and the Muppets are The Rock and Jack Black.
It’s a yes from me. Hitting the golden button!
This is brilliant ! I would watch it in a heartbeat.
So Jumanji The Next Level movie?
Jack black is obnoxious but he really did nail the high school girl impression.
I hate Jack Black’s acting.
I completely agree with your opinion.
It also works in Tropic Thunder.
I personally loved his Bowser in Super Mario.
Bowser!
I knew there were three roles I didn’t mind but couldn’t remember the third, that’s the one.
On the flip side, I didn’t like Nacho Libre for the opposite reason, he felt too reserved.
