So we were talking about Muppet adaptations of classic literary works; somebody jokingly suggested Neil Gaiman’s Sandman on the grounds that due to the World Fantasy Award fiasco it technically qualifies as literature, and I just can’t get the idea out of my head. If they follow the pattern of previous Muppet adaptations, they’d be obliged to put Kermit the Frog in some prominent role, and every conceivable option is objectively hilarious.
Stated in a reply but I wanted to elaborate here – I like the idea of Kermit as Morpheus. Think about it: He’s a busy showrunner who’s trying to put on a good performance for people, while the rest of his cast and crew are goofballs if not whole morons, and sometimes he’s just as silly as they are. Sandman’s realm is kind of like the Muppet Show except with less humor and more melancholy soul-searching. Kermit would be a great Morpheus. And Miss Piggy could play the role of jilted lover as she often does, because Morpheus always has one of those too.
And you could have Statler and Waldorf as Cain and Abel.
Statler and Waldorf as Cain and Abel
That’s horrifying.
I think I love it.
I’ve been stuck with Kermit’s voice saying this in my head all day thanks to these posts.
