The Muppet Odyssey (hexbear.net)
submitted 3 weeks ago by Florn@hexbear.net to c/movies@hexbear.net

Kermit plays Odysseus. He never kills anybody himself, and when people die because of his actions it's not because he intended it. He fucks, but only consensually.

Miss Piggy plays Penelope. At the end of the movie, she kills the suitors herself.

The cyclops is is a human actor with a Muppet head.

Human Circe transforms Odysseus's human men into Muppet pigs. They continue speaking and spend the rest of the film in this form.

Fozzie Bear narrates as Homer, he has a black cloth tied around his eyes and keeps comically bumping into stuff.

edit: Also you're kinda stealing a role for Sweetums with the Cyclops thing.

edit edit: Also Statler and Waldorf have to be two of the suitors.

Statler and Waldorf are Agamemnon and Menelaus

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Statler and Waldorf are Scylla and Charybidis. Menalaus has to be either Kermit or Gonzo because Helen has to be either Miss Piggy (It can't be miss piggy though because you've correctly cast her as Penelope who kills the suitors herself) or Camilla.

Statler and Waldorf

Chorus of the elderly is already a classic in Greek theatre.

Okay you're right, they'd be the guys listening to Fozzie Homer.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Okay, that makes Fozzie as a narrator click. That's usually Gonzo's job but if he's getting heckled by Statler and Waldorf that works.

Gotta have the penguins as miscellaneous soldiers doing slapstick in the background

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Generally Gonzo handles the narrator angle.

Sweetums but they just make a joke about how you can't just expect every cyclops to have only one eye
