Why’d you steal our garbage? - Persona 4: Golden - Family Guy: Back To The Multiverse & - PlayStation All Stars: Battle Royale

WE NEEEEEEEED ANOTHER MOVIE

[@Sumschmuck]

I liked the movie, but nowadays, I just laugh at the concept that Kermit was not only sent to the gulag, but rather that in the muppet universe, the soviet union never seemed to fall and the guards are still using mosin nagants instead of AK-47s

[@Handlelesswithme]

I really wished they called it The Muppets Again

[@ethanstoeckel3901]

Well it could be worse if it was set in the late 80s and Kermit was arrested by the solviet union.

[@Sumschmuck]

@@ethanstoeckel3901 nah, late 80s was gorbachev, and he would've started his policies that laid the end of the USSR

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

I find it pretty interesting that the Muppets’ final cinematic adventure is their only actual sequel. Each previous Muppet film is set in its own individual continuity, especially since the first three films are about them meeting each other for the first time.

[@thatonea-hole]

I never noticed that!

[@brandonspain12345]

Fun fact: in 2019, there was supposed to be another Muppet continuation as a 6-part mini series on Disney+ titled "Muppets Live Another Day" with Once Upon A Time creators Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis at the helm with Josh Gad. It was supposed to be set to be a 80s-set sequel to Muppets Take Manhattan, where Rowlf the Dog mysteriously disappears as the Muppets reunite again to find him. (One leaked script page had Rowlf having a conversation with Steve Martin.) According to Gad, having it be set in the 80s was to subvert and comment on our current love for all things nostalgia while also allowing characters to tell a story that would lead to an end in the present day. And revealing secrets along the way. Unfortunately, it wasn't made due to the three having creative differences with Disney and the new heads of the Jim Henson Company were switching and the new executive didn't want it. (Of course they didn't 😢) And the result was The Muppets Now.

[@YujiUedaFan]

Muppets Now was so weird. It only ran for 6 episodes, which is far shorter than other Henson productions.

[@MaxEverywhereSystem]

@@YujiUedaFan if i remember correctly it was meant to be a web show, but when muppets live another day got canceled and covid prevented them from making anything else they put it on disney+ as a show.

[@nathanielvaughn6728]

Muppets Now is not a Henson joint, and Live Another Day wouldn't have been one either. The Muppets' Wizard of Oz was the final Muppets project to involve the Jim Henson Company. All future projects are strictly under Disney.

[@king117cool223]

Disney needs to make more muppets film so we can get more Junko reviews

[@CrashFan03]

i feel like it's kinda suspect that the movie's main theme of "you can't replace kermit" became real a couple years later when constantine's performer in the movie ended up replacing kermit's performer. no disrespect to matt vogel but i just don't think he fits as kermit. he sounds like he could slip into constantine's voice at any time

[@SIGuess]

That's one of the reasons I dislike this film so much

[@Say_Syce]

fellow jenny pfp hiiii also i agree, hes a fine voice actor but just not a good kermit

[@AbrasiousProductions]

matt vogel's kermit voice sounds horrendous

[@SIGuess]

@AbrasiousProductions its funny because, search on KZbin d23 muppet christmas Carol and believe it or not that's matt vogel doing Kermit. He can do a great impression of Steve Whitmires kermit so I don't get what's going on.

[@CrashFan03]

@@SIGuess i believe that doing kermit's voice like that is a struggle for him since he starts losing it later into the performance. honestly i think peter linz would make a better kermit since he does ernie and absolutely nails it

1st Movie: Getting everyone together 1st reboot: Getting everyone together 1st sequel: Heist Crime Comedy Reboot sequel: Heist Crime Comedy These are weird coincidences I noticed, I wonder if they had made more films maybe the next one would’ve been going to some big city location, and then a remake of a classic Christmas story.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I don't understand why this movie doesn't get more love. I love the Gulag songs & the end song where they're all stuck to the wall.

[@dangerouslyapocalyptic]

Honestly the only real complaint I have with this movie is the fact its a sequel set mere moments after 2011 but Walter doesn’t even acknowledge Gary or Mary at all? Like not even a single line or offscreen goodbye. Pretty nitpicky but that’s because it’s literally the only problem I have with the movie LMAO The rest of it is really good and I’m shocked we didn’t get another one

[@lapsingpugface6927]

The main reason why they didn’t make another muppet movie is because this one was a box office disappointment.

[@dillontrainvids25]

It’s Interesting. The first movie made a big deal about how nobody cares about the muppets anymore. And the box office returns on muppets most wanted proved the first movie correct.

[@BeetRoots-z1h]

I watched this movie like last year for the first time, and this is the first muppet movie I actually got into like the others were okay but I had only ever seen the retellings up until then (like treasure island and Christmas carol) it caused me to start watching all the other muppets movies (still haven’t seen all of them I’m working on it) but I’m really disappointed that people don’t talk about it so I was glad to see this video! (One of my favorite parts about Constantine is the interview he does where he and Ricky Giverras talk and Constantine wears a shirt saying “I’m not Kermit”)

Ironic that this movie proves Kermit is irreplaceable immediately before Disney proves that Kermit is in fact replaceable. Even more so when you think about the fact that Kermit’s performer was replaced by Constantine’s performer.

[@Rozwell_Ramirez]

YungJunko!!!! you been puttin in work man, keep it up!

[@MarioSonicPhillyFan700]

What I find worse aside from a 10 year absence of theatrical releases of Muppet movies is the fact that Steve Whitmire was replaced by Matt Vogel which I didn't like playing Kermit, he didn't suit him very well but he killed it as Constantine. Steve Whitmire is irreplaceable after the unfortunate death of Jim Henson! Muppets deserves more respect now than they did back then!

[@ozharms]

If you want this movie to go further, check out the Unnecessary Extended Edition Blu-Ray

[@dkd123]

I think Disney was expecting the muppets tv show to do better and when it didn’t they decided not to do another movie.

[@toyotatacoma1616]

Me and my dad have been quoting this movie for the past ten years. “Badguy, it’s European”

[@jennyfox2612]

Even though I'm kicking myself for skipping the 2011 one while it was in theaters, I'm glad I managed to catch this one. It's bummer we didn't get one last film before they retired it. As is, I'm kinda lucky we even got the revival films. It's just as shame that Muppets are kinda gone at this point but not forgotten.

[@MatecaCorp]

What do you mean by “gone”? They’re still doing fairly frequent projects

[@jennyfox2612]

@MatecaCorp Eh, they're pretty much relegated to small stuff. I don't really think they really exist anymore. Personally, Muppets in Ernest died over 30 years ago with the death of Jim Henson himself. As much as I've enjoyed some of the post-henson stuff, I just feel like the Magix is gone. Basically nothing more than a husk what once was only around for brand recognition and not much else.

[@perezpilled]

Maybe this is controversial to say BUT: This is my personal favorite Muppet movie. It’s incredible and creative and madcap. Feels like every one of the muppets gets a little moment to shine. The music SLAPSSSS. The emotional through line isn’t quite high enough (wish they’d nailed the You Can’t Replace Kermit pathos a little more, like Junko says). But everything else is incredible. A- that could’ve been an A+.

[@timemachinegeek]

Still annoyed The Muppet Mayhem got canceled. It was a fun show.

[@petros6013]

Crazy to think that this movie is coming up on ten years, it’s always been one of my favorites. We are definitely due for another Muppet movie.

[@reddeadspartan]

Apparently the Disney suits never watched this movie because they thought they could replace Kermit

[@MatecaCorp]

I saw this movie for the first time today and I was surprised at how well it holds up compared to the 2011 film. It’s a lot like the first two original Muppet films in that the first has a lot of hard hitting emotion and the second has a lot of hard hitting Muppet Mayhem. I will admit that the fact that the sequel has a train might cause a bit of bias for me. It’s rather ironic that Matt Vogel’s Constantine often sounds more like Kermit than Matt’s actual Kermit voice

[@ThompsonSteamtrain]

It looks like there’s not gonna be a third Muppet film after the Muppets most wanted it’s like Disney ship focus on making Star Wars films as their new IP.

Yeah I kinda wish we got more Muppets as well. But the last thing we got muppets related were all Disney Plus works. Muppets Haunted Mansion, and the Muppets Mayhem which only featured the Electric Mayhem. Plus Kermit's once again got a new voice and it sounds more different than the last ones. But still I do wish Disney and such would do more for the Muppets and not just make Disney Plus series or specials featuring them.
