The first Muppet movie: Kermit running away from a greedy salesman who wants to use him for commercials for his fried frogs legs, and potentially killing him Kermit in this show: "omg ew ur family were killed for food?? GROOOOOSSSSSUHH" Imma kick new Kermit's ass I STG??? I hate the way people write him to be a misogynist nowadays, like have you ever seen his Ted talk?

I agree that Kermit is severely out of character ever since Muppets Most Wanted, and he has been forced to say some very unpleasant things. That said, Kermit and Miss Piggy talking trash about each other in PR stuff has been a staple from the very beginning of their relationship. Disney just sucks at writing for them.

Trust me, Steve Whitmire (Kermit's puppeteer since Jim Henson's death in 1990) did NOT like his characterization in the show. Steve unfortunately was fired for protecting the values of Jim that he kept to heart since March of 1978 joining on the Alice Cooper episode of The Muppet Show.

Fun fact for Episode 14: Steve Whitmire (The puppeteer of Kermit on this show) was AGAINST the idea of Kermit lying to Robin saying, "I don’t think Kermit would lie to him, I think that as Robin came to Kermit, he would say ‘things happen, people go their separate ways, but that doesn’t mean we don’t care about you.’ Kermit is too compassionate to lie to him to spare his feelings.” This just goes to show, Whitmire truly cared about his mentor and friend Jim and his legacy, but he was unfortunately fired by his friend's children for being 'difficult to work with'.

@IronNinja 8 ай бұрын

I think it’s a bit disingenuous to call Jim Henson’s own children “his friend’s children”, the Henson Family themselves chose Steve in the early 90s to take over the role of Kermit after Jim’s passing, Steve was hired by their mother Jane Henson herself in the middle of the Muppet show, and it should be the families decision on whether or not to have him continue the role, one the main decisions makers in this case would be Brian Henson, who is the head at Jim Henson Productions and the creature shop, who also directed several Muppet movies including the first one after Jim’s passing, Brian worked with Steve for literal decades, regardless, we weren’t on set, a firing such as this would not just happen out of the blue, especially after playing the character for nearly 30 years, not to mention being a OG Muppet Show Alumni, regardless of Steve’s knowledge or love of the character, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t “difficult to work” with later on or during his time as a Muppet performer, another person who would’ve been apart of the decision making is Bill Barretta, who is the current creative leader at Muppets Studios, Bill took over as Rowlf after Jim, and created several iconic Muppet Characters such as Pepe the Prawn and Johnny Fiama (with Brian playing Sal Minella), Bill also worked with Steve for almost 3 decades, I don’t think a firing like this would have happened if he wasn’t being actually difficult to work with

Because a lot of people nowadays watched The Muppet’s for the first time before their first romantic relationship I feel like a lot of people remember why Miss Piggy is toxic but but forget questionable stuff Kermit’s done and ways he’s toxic in the relationship because he tends to put on a “poor me, putting up with you” routine and younger people have trouble distinguishing playing up being the victim and actually being the victim. It muddies the waters that sometimes he genuinely is the victim of her unreasonable demand but other times he placates her without resolving the underlying issues which furthers there dysfunction.

I personally think miss piggy and kermit work best when kermit is too humble and piggy is too egotistical. Like Kermit is nice, he’s down to earth, he’s your friend, but dude is way too soft and introverted to survive hollywood. Miss Piggy KNOWS how to be a star, she is a force of nature that won’t let ANYONE mess with her Kermie,much less herself, but Kermit helps pull her down to Earth so she’s actually friends with the people she works with, not just using them as props in her career. Like the dynamic isn’t SUPER healthy but you get why they benefit each other as performers and people.

Finally a video about our queen! Miss Piggy is an icon and I love her so much! I always avoided the ABC Muppets due to the bad reputation but a few weeks ago I decided to give it a try and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Even with Kermit’s infrequent but very unpleasant moments of mischaracterization, the show is still really funny and enjoyable. The bit in the first episode with Fozzie talking about his dating profile took me so off guard and it is perfect. Something a lot of people miss is just how excellent Steve Whitmire’s performance is as Kermit. The show’s format required a very expressive Kermit and Steve pulled it off masterfully. It’s one of my favorite Muppet performances and it’s severely under appreciated. All in all, really fun show, but by no means a perfect one. I’d love to see a full lore deep dive for the show. (aHem) P.S. An interesting thing to note is that even though we know Kermit would never cheat, Jim Henson, for whom Kermit was of course a frog stand in, actually did cheat on his wife Jane on multiple occasions. Even so, Jim and Jane remained good friends until his death. P.P.S. I have a strong suspicion that the part of Pizza (the branding guru) was written specifically for Aziz Ansari. I mean Pizza is literally just a successful Tom Haverford.

The 2015 series did have its moments, both good and bad. While it did give the Muppets a fresh new start to be back on TV again, the way it was executed was kinda….well…it could’ve been handled a little better. But I still feel like while the Kermit/Piggy Breakup could’ve been expanded upon and would’ve fleshed out the characters more than they’ve ever been, it was initially created for publicity and press. It just made these characters unlikeable to see them in this way. Nothing against the show, or the characterizations that the show runners had in mind, but I feel like some of the charm that Jim Henson and his original crew made recognizable was missing. The Muppets did exist in the real world, but they also were part of their own world too. And no, that doesn’t mean they always treat each other with respect. In fact, sometimes they can’t stand each other. But it is during some tough times, where they are even at their lowest, that they always find a way to unite and make things work again. It’s through the wrong that they make things right. It’s taking what they got, and flying with it. This is something that even Disney needs to understand. We love these characters for being real with us, but finding enough wittiness and nuttiness to make us laugh. And there absolutely should be a balance. And no, I’m not saying how Jim would want it, but I’m more saying on how we need it. If there’s one thing that is true, it’s that these characters will still be around, ready to pop up anywhere at anytime, and that’s what I love about the Muppets. They still find ways.

HI! AVID MUPPET ENJOYER (one of my most prevalant hyperfixations. wrote several essays about it in college, going to do puppetry as a career)! in my humble opinion, kermit and piggy were never the iconic couple they were portrayed as. in muppets canon, they are actors. in the muppet show and other things where they arent playing roles, their love is very one sided, and at times felt performative. kemit never really wanted a relationship with her (or anyone really until recent medias, which is why i headcanon aroace kermit but thats not canon anymore), but he never wanted to be too upfront about it, for the sake of piggy AND their fans. piggy was being a relatable queen who loves a good delulu moment (me too girl). kermit didnt take the breakup seriously bcz he never took the RELATIONSHIP seriously. going forward, i hope they keep piggy in her self love era, she deserves it. however, they slandered kermit. he used to just be an anxious stage manager trying to corral goofy performers, now hes just mean. jim would be disappointed. also speaking about jim, it was disney purchasing the muppets that killed him! he was so stressed by it that it caused toxic shock syndrome!

The muppets is one of those IP’s that was a staple in my children AS WELL as my adulthood. The humor in those movies shaped me into the person I am today ( as weird as that sounds. ) Thank you muppets for making me laugh at almost everything parody 😭

The 2015 muppet series was affected by executive meddling, yet it needed a 2nd season to improve!!

*please do lore lites of all the muppets, that would be so awesome and iconic* Edit: Also, it's very canon within the Muppets universe that all the Muppets are just casually *super fucking old* and they just haven't aged for some reason (although the original idea for The Muppet Movie was that they *had* visibly aged, and that some of them had actually *died,* but that was scrapped for being too depressing). All the jokes about how much younger Denise is than Kermit have a *lot* to stand on, mainly because it's very likely that she is indeed much younger than the og cast. However, she is still an adult and allowed to date whoever she wants. She was right to leave Kermit, tho, he's kind of a shit boyfriend, and I'm glad that there wasn't any canon confirmation that Kermit and Piggy got back together, those two still need time to figure themselves out before trying to get in a relationship with *anyone* again.

4:22 I've never seen this series, but I would also like to point out that bunsun says, "If it happens outside of work, we don't owe them an explanation." This to me not only implies them being involved but also implies that they have maby hooked up during work hours in the past. Sooo the theory of them not being vanilla has more grounds than just the tazer.

As someone who didn't grow up with the muppets (aka not from the US) I am surprisingly VERY upset at how they absolutely destroyed Kermit's character on this show. I can actually relate to having a malewife fave turned into a misogynistic asshole who breaks up with his girl for no reason, so I'm pouring one out for the kermit fans

What’s super interesting is that when Kermit first meets Mrs piggy she is at a country fair trying to win a blue ribbon

4:58 I just randomly recalled this when it comes to fictional characters that don't really have "traditional" ageing like Pokemon or Zora and Gorons from the legend of zelda series. I personally look at mental age when those types of characters are paired together if one acts like a child and the other acts like an adult I am not ok with it. However if both act as adults on a mental level its fine.

Athen is SLAYING

@aclarri04 8 ай бұрын

I now have a cannon in my head where Athena was adopted into Miss piggy family as a baby. This way the two grew up as sisters and Athena and miss piggy grew up as sister so when there parents were slaughtere Miss piggy took the responsibility to raid her little sister Athena who was 8 years old at the time. Around that time miss piggy became a star and as we can see very rich so raising and taking care of Athena needs were manageable for her. “ I am pretty great with kids.” She says because she raised Athena who she can relax and in a way be herself, she can wear anything knowing Athena won’t judge her. Miss piggy shopping with child Athena while holding her hand it too cute.

So gonna start by saying, I've been surrounded by the muppets since before I could walk and growing up during a time where kids my age preferred Suite Life and Drake. I was on The Muppet Show and Alice Cooper. I personally hated the ABC Muppet series, because I know that Jim would have hated how selfish Kermit had been made out to be. That being said, the song brought a tear to my eye and I think it's a perfect representation of the Muppets as a whole. I'm glad that you talked about the muppets, even if it was just for a lore lite. I wish they could come back as cheesy, over the top, innovative and without fear of being weird like they once were, but it seems like that died when Brian Henson stopped taking such an active role, though I am hopeful for the Electric Mayhem movie. Thanks again Athena you made my heart happy

I'm really grateful for this video because parts of this show really rubbed me the wrong way in this very subtle and granular way, but I did not have the media literacy to really appreciate just how toxic these awful sitcom tropes were at the time this was airing so I feel pretty vindicated for not just being too sensitive with this stuff... Also, SHEESH that final song goes so hard... those lyrics really stuck with me. "Do i exist for you to consume?" completely rewrote my entire perception on Miss Piggy. This is some masterful character analysis
