Nicholas Cage's Humphrey Bogart impression on Spider Noir is pretty spot on, actually. Yeah, I love this sort of thing. I'd be down for more noir-altverse stuff if it captured the spirit of the genre like this.

I still get genuinely mad when I think about how Kaos and Twilight of the Gods both got canceled after one season by the same company that gave fucking Blood of Zeus three seasons.

If Piggy was a man and Kermit a woman, there would be no question that her obsession - and forcing him to ask her to marry him/marry her as part of a "skit" with the ceremony done by a real priest - wouldn't be creepy as fuck.

But because she's a woman, it's all in good humor.

I know she's mellowed out since then but those early years were hard to watch in my Muppets marathon.

Is Sydney Sweeney still around? I thought she outlived her usefulness to MAGA around this time last year.

Hard to tell from that distance, really.

It probably helps that this type of behavior is condemned more these days, regardless of gender.

I realize that I’ve never told anyone that I found her very uncomfortable. I didn’t watch The Muppets much as a child, but I remember that, as well as feeling like I should like her because I was a girl.

I always put it down to being hypersensitive to steam-rollering pushiness and rudeness. But maybe I’m not the only one who feels that way.

I mean... can't disagree there. Broadly speaking, sexual harassment isn't really funny in a post-#MeToo world regardless of gender, especially when you have men like Terry Crews and Brendan Frasier speaking out about their experiences IMHO.

In fairness to The Muppets, I think early Ms. Piggy was considered funny to some because she flipped the script on the whole "obsessive stalker/sexual harasser" deal by being a domineering, forceful female character, which were fairly rare in that era. Very much a product of its time and Disney has toned her down significantly (she's less obsessed about Kermit and more leaning into the whole "#girlboss" thing from what I can tell), but it's one of those things where you kinda need to look at it in the context of the times.

No, you're not the only one. As a kid, I never quite liked her because she really raised my hackles at the time for similar reasons. As an adult, I've come to appreciate her, especially since I've developed a short-fused temper and inability to suffer no fools like her lmao.

Anyways, Janice is best Muppet Girl and I will die on that hill.

Agreed. Even at the time (and as a kid) I thought her obsession was kind of weird, but I understand why they played it that way at the time. The changes and updates to her character have been good ones, though.

Inspired by #5: Media that didn't age well yet you still like

(Anonymous) 2026-06-10 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly what it says on the tin: What media (movie/show/game/book/etc) do you still enjoy that has otherwise aged poorly? Be it certain aspects of it or the entire work itself?

Shows that you wish Netflix hadn't cancelled...

(Anonymous) 2026-06-10 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
For me, it's not the typical show per se, but... American Vandals. It was one of the best spoofs I've watched in years, the cast of both seasons knocked it out of the park, and I would've loved to see where they went next with it.

so the world is going to hell but some men still have jerkoff material. That certainly doesn't help the rest of us.
