I'm all for this proposal.

However the 'Miss Piggy going ham' is the real gem in this post

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 64 points 3 days ago (4 children)

But then she would have to tell Polyphemus that she's "Nobody", which I don't think her ego could allow.

But then the fact that she can't hold it in any longer and blurting it out literally as they're about to get away would absolutely be in character for her! This woman is nothing but hubris!

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 71 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That would be an amusing moment as she shouts for a script rewrite

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 18 points 3 days ago

Never thought about it, but don't most of their movies have 4th wall breaks anyway?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago

But think of the epic face swallow she has to do before forcing it out

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hearing the classic "Hi-ya!" as she jams Fozzyphemus's walking stick into his face.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think one of the straight-man muppets works better as Polyphemus. Fozzy works better as one of the other cyclopes asking who hurt him.

But then we don't get a cyclops version of Who's On First

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

sweetums is the cyclops, so you wouldn't anyway

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sweetums was my first thought actually, but it still works.

Fozzie: What ails you, Polyphemus, that you make such a noise, breaking the stillness of the night, and preventing us from being able to sleep? Surely no man is carrying off your sheep? Surely no man is trying to kill you either by fraud or by force?’

Sweetums: Noman is killing me by fraud; no man is killing me by force.’

Fozzie: Then, if no man is attacking you, you must be ill; when Jove makes people ill, there is no help for it, and you had better pray to your father Neptune.

The only issue I can see is relegating Fozzie to a bit part

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

could even be both "Weren't you a cyclops?" " oh that's my brother. good guy"

Pretty sure they have actually done that somewhere

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 38 points 3 days ago

Not sure I’d say Miss Piggy’s behavior is “ham”-like to their face.

[–] dumples@piefed.social 26 points 3 days ago

I want more muppet movies, especially myths.

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Haven't seen a movie in theaters in a long time, but I'd actually consider watching A Muppet Oddysey.

Only mildly related, I'd love to have a 90s Michael Caine, Tim Curry, and 2010s Danny DeVito all costarring in a muppet movie. The first two already proved they'll give it 100% and act like it's any other performance, and I think DeVito would as well.

Tim Curry as Long John Silver is easily in my top three favorite roles he's done.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if Gonzo is circe or calypso but he's one of them

[–] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Got to be Circe. But chickens instead of pigs.

If you got a problem with the Muppet's then you've got a problem with me, they are delightful

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I'd sooo watch that!

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Circe would be powerless to stop her

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I was not very interested in seeing the new The Odyssey film, but considering the nonstop conniption fit that the MAGAs keeps having about it, now I absolutely have to see it. Certainly, it must be a cinematic masterpiece if it makes them this angry.

It has been my experience that any film’s artistic value (or that of any artistic work, for that matter) is directly proportional to how angry it makes the MAGA crowd. At this point, it’s practically the strongest endorsement of an artistic work’s intrinsic value.

And I can’t imagine a better version of it than seeing it acted out in the oeuvre of The Muppets.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I would unironically watch this.
