I mean...the puppets were never really meant to fool the audience into thinking they were actual people. That wasn't the point. Henson's work with puppetry is and was its own thing - very well done, but it looks odd to modern audiences who aren't as used to this kind of puppetry special effects

Yeah, Henson's main goal was for it to look "Not puppet-y", which isn't necessarily the same as "real people". He wasn't even a ventriloquist or tried to be, people just naturally started to focus on Kermit when sitting side by side.

I'm old enough to have been around in the puppet days, and I still thought they looked uncanny and stupid, to be honest. It's not a "millennials just don't understand" deal.
