Thursday DE: It's time to play the music

Your canon is now to become a muppet movie. You task is to choose which character remains the human for the film. Show your work below.

Damn, I lost my comment, okay trying again. I'm having a kind of off day so maybe I should rewatch some muppets.

For Rogue One, Krennic definitely should be a human and maybe Saw or Galen. I love the idea of the serious scenes being a contrast of human and muppet. Chirrut would be a fantastic muppet.

Charles and Erik should be the humans while everyone else are muppets.

Discworld would be amazing with muppets with maybe Vimes and Vetinari as the humans. Muppet dragons would be adorable.

I want all the gods to be muppets with some of the demigods and others to be human.

Old Kingdom, hm, that's a tricky one. Yrael and Dog need to be muppets.

3:10 to Yuma's a hard one to imagine with muppets.

Robin Hood, oh that's easy, the Sheriff and Sir Guy are human, everyone else is a muppet.

Narnia, the Pevensies are the humans, Narnia actually would work really well.

In the current post-MK9 Mortal Kanon, the human absolutely has to be Raiden.

Meanwhile, in The Elder Scrolls, it makes entirely too much thematic and metaphysical sense for the player character to be the only human in a world of Muppets.

Clone Wars: I feel like Obi-Wan should be the only human...or Yoda just to mix things up.

SW Rebels: I'm thinking Ezra, especially with his fish out of water self in the first season.

Spider-Woman: I'm thinking Jessica is the human and she spends the whole movie wondering if she landed in Spider-Ham's reality.

Champions: Kamala will be the human, although the original three (Kamala, Sam, and Miles) would work as well.

October Daye: Tybalt being the only human and wooing Miss Piggy amuses me to no end.

Mage Errant: Alustin seems like the best bet for the human, mostly because the majority of the protagonists are teens.

Umbrella Academy: I'm not sure. I kind of like the idea of the kids being the humans.

And I agree with Fi, Dog should be a muppet.

I completely forgot about Quentin and Toby Daye, I love the idea of like the Queen being human. For me the real genius of muppet movies is that contrast of human and muppet.

[bjornwilde]

Very true. And the Queen being the human is a good idea!

Ooh, think about the Luidaeg being a human with the others as muppets.

[bjornwilde]

Or the Luidaeg shifts between human and muppet and acts innocent and confused when anyone points out the change.

The entire Archive crew is human, except Elias. As the powers that be claim members of the group, they become muppets, but no one notices.

In WTNV, everyone is a muppet except Carlos. He definitely notices.

In Umbrella Academy, everyone is human except the Hargreeves kids. For some reason, no one notices unless they are in uniform.

I'm loling that we basically had the same idea, just flipped, for TUA.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

All of the characters are Muppets, except the Digimon, who are all human.
