I feel like after Muppet Treasure Island that Tim Curry views himself as a Muppet….so does that still count as the human if they think they are a Muppet the whole time??? lol
Honestly? I think I’d keep Martin Mull instead. No disrespect to Tim Curry, I just think it would work better because Colonel Mustard was the butt of so many of the jokes.
@RummageSaleBubbler Here's your (experimental extra) drawing of a "Muppets in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", plus Ricardo Montalbán, in a vintage library, a dusty, cobwebbed library filled with old books and manuscripts, in style of Kelly Vivanco, playing an acoustic guitar"
Kermit and Robin as grandfather and kid Miss Piggy as Buttercup Gonzo as inigo Fozzie as Vizzini Pepe or Rizzo as Fezzik Bunsen and Beaker as Miracle Max and Valerie Swedish Chef as the Clergyman Statler and Waldorf running the torture chamber
Now I'm imagining Star Wars movies with Muppets in the main roles, but every creature and droid is a well known human actor. Without makeup or prostheses
Ok, I have a few thoughts on the Diva. On the one hand, I think only Beaker could hit those high notes; on the other hand, he’s not blue. There aren’t a lot of blue mainline muppets, and Sam the Eagle has to be the president, obviously. The one blue muppet that could do it is maybe Thog? Finally, if blue doesn’t matter and we want to keep Beaker for a role with Dr Bunsen, then maybe we just let the Electric Mayhem do the concert instead.
Can't do that. He already plays every role in every movie ever. Why just this morning, I looked in the mirror and discovered that I was being portrayed by Gary Oldman.
“You’re not the president. The president’s an idiot and you don’t sound like an idiot.” Sam’s jaw slowly drops open as he turns slowly to stare at the phone in quiet disbelief.
All the muppets are played replaced by actors but their lines are dubbed over by Muppets, except Tim Curry who gets turned into muppet but he is still just Tim Curry
Billy Connolly would be a good one to keep in there, I don't know if the kid that played Jim is still acting, but you could replace him with Kermit's nephew.
So hear me out. The Muppet Matrix. The first part of the movie is exactly the same. But when Keanu wakes up in the "real world," everyone but him is a Muppet.
Fozzie as Morpheus. Piggy as Trinity. Gonzo as Cypher. Chef as the Merovingian. Swearing in mock Swedish is like wiping your arse with silk Bork Bork Bork
I'll pay that. Kermit can definitely generate that air of inscrutability. Fozzie could be Tank instead. Or Captain Whatshisname, the mech guy who thinks "tactics" means "everybody stand still and shoot wildly"
Technically yes and no. While his character is 100% made for Sesame Street, the Henson Company were the ones who made a good portion of the Sesame Street puppets, and the people doing so today are part of a specific offshoot of the original Henson Company workshop that does puppet crafting exclusively for PBS/Sesame Street, so by technical definition he's not a muppet in the sense that he never appeared on the Muppet Show, but loosely he's a Henson Company puppet, which means he's a Muppet.
Bonus fun fact, Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets and original voice to many of them, though most famously Kermit, was also the original voice of Ernie, with Frank Oz being the voice of Bert. Ernie also remained voiceless for three years after Henson's passing before receiving a new actor, which has since changed three times if my memory serves.
There are a lot of good choices here. Morphese was my 1st thought. The lady that explains spoons feels like the right answer. Agent Smith made laugh too hard. I work up my roommate.
Let me know if you find anything. We're currently between campaigns right now. I play with two couples, and they BOTH just had kids. One June, one August. So yeah, we're probably not going to start up again until December at the soonest.
