Spoilers (obviously)

I felt the exact same way. I couldn't stand him. It felt like he was a bad Mary Sue with him stepping in and saving the show. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

The thing that's worse than that is that he wasn't needed. They didn't need a "we still remember you, come out of retirement film" because people saw the movie to SEE the Muppets and we already new we loved them. There wasn't half enough typical Muppet madness in the movie because it spent it's time telling us what we knew. I liked the humans a whole lot, and their songs, but until the Muppets finally came together...meh. They split up in MTM and had to be brought back together so that wasn't exactly original at all either.)

That's what bugged me about the plot, too. If a Muppet product is good, people will go and see it. People never actually forgot them.

But it was worth it for Jim Parsons' cameo in "Man or Muppet?".

I'd totally watch the movie again, but I will have to fast forward though some stuff. I never have to do that with say Muppets Christmas Carol, Muppets from Space or The Muppet Movie.

"Man or Muppet" was a pretty great scene. Mr. Parsons was adorable.

Honestly?

My 9 year old nephew had only the vaguest idea of who the muppets are before the new movie. The last Muppet movie in theaters came out before he was born. The only way he knew anything about them was when they'd cameo on Sesame Street.

Most of the target audience has not grown up with muppets. The plot was incredibly well done IMO because kids don't know who the muppets are. The only people who knew who they were are 20+ year olds who remember when Muppet Treasure Island came out in 96. My nephew was actively against seeing the movie because to him muppets were "old" and not "cool". His opinion did a complete 180 after seeing the movie, but to the target audience? Yeah, the plot is incredibly relevant.

I'm not saying a good intro movie wouldn't have been good. I understand that a good market for the muppets is children, but children were never the main target audience for the show and characters to start with, no matter how family friendly the franchise is. I digress...

I just meant that the overly done "muppets on skid row thing" was off putting to me personally, and I know I'm not alone in feeling that way.

I am glad your nephew liked it though. Has he seen Muppets from Space? That is WAAAAAY better than Muppet Treaure Island by leaps and bounds. :)

IDK I liked the plot of the film. I do agree that some parts dragged on a bit (and I didn't give two shits about Gary and Mary's stupid love plot), but the final scene where the Muppets lose the studio and think that nobody remembers them, only to have THOUSANDS of people waiting for them at the doors really emphasized the fact that they haven't been forgotten by their fans.

Though it seriously pissed me off that Walter took the spotlight at the end.
Kermit: "Hey? Where's Walter?"
Walter: "See? Your fans! They love you guys!"
Kermit: "Well? Aren't you going to join us?"


Oh go away, Walter! You're not a muppet and you should not be sharing their limelight!
