I’m all for this proposal.
However the ‘Miss Piggy going ham’ is the real gem in this post
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!
That would be an amusing moment as she shouts for a script rewrite
Never thought about it, but don’t most of their movies have 4th wall breaks anyway?
Fair
Hearing the classic “Hi-ya!” as she jams Fozzyphemus’s walking stick into his face.
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.
Fozzy’s eumaeus
But then we don’t get a cyclops version of Who’s On First
sweetums is the cyclops, so you wouldn’t anyway
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
could even be both “Weren’t you a cyclops?” " oh that’s my brother. good guy"
Pretty sure they have actually done that somewhere
But think of the epic face swallow she has to do before forcing it out
Not sure I’d say Miss Piggy’s behavior is “ham”-like to their face.
I want more muppet movies, especially myths.
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.
I’m not sure if Gonzo is circe or calypso but he’s one of them
Got to be Circe. But chickens instead of pigs.
Omg yes
If you got a problem with the Muppet’s then you’ve got a problem with me, they are delightful
I’d sooo watch that!
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.
Circe would be powerless to stop her
I would unironically watch this.
"Oh they have a corndog for a captain, doh ho ho hoho
