In my personal opinion yes. I just watched clips of Muppets take the o2 and it had David Tennant reprising his role as the 10th Doctor to do a skit with the Muppets. It was wonderful to watch and i’ve always said Tennant would have been wonderful in a Muppets movie.
Well people chose to not go see Muppets:Most Wanted because either A. It did not have Jason Segal or B. Segal’s “Muppet” movie focuses way too much on the humans to the point it should have been called The Humans special guest stars the Muppets.
Here was my problem with the Segal movie. No matter how you look at it,it was not a Muppets movie. It was a movie about some guy and a Muppet for a brother (what the fuck?) did they care to explain that I don’t remember. The Muppets were side characters IN A FREAKING MUPPET MOVIE!!! The movie had the humans basically reintroducing The Muppets when there was no need for them to be reintroduced. The Muppets were already household names. You’d have to be living under a rock to not know who the Muppets are. Also if they wanted to reintroduce the Muppets then let The Muppets themselves tell the story for us.
Muppets Most Wanted fixed a lot of the issues I had with the Segal one. The humans were the side characters and The Muppets were front and center throughout the movie. The jokes were a lot better in Most Wanted and the story while it did have one big problem the muppets are not that dumb to not believe that Constantin was not Kermit so that may have just been bad writing,but it felt like a real muppet story and it helped the movie. I also never cared for Walter and thought he was a really unnecessary addition to the Muppets so I was glad they pushed him to the side.
I think Segal’s movie hurt The Muppets movie franchise in a way they could never come back as a movie. Audiences voted with their wallets to not go see Most Wanted. The Muppets tried to come back as a mockumentary show similar to The Office,but parents complained that the Muppets were too adult in the new show and it wasn’t suitable for kids which was just bullshit. Didn’t they watch The Muppet show?
So sadly my hopes of a 3rd movie and a possible Tennant cameo were crushed and a 3rd movie will most likely never happen?
Does anyone else agree?
