I feel like this is a good sentiment but you give terrible examples.

Precisely, I was just coming to post this. He’s bitter because they didn’t let him make his Muppet movie with his Muppet script. It’s called “The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made”, it dates back to Jim Henson’s lifetime, and who knows, maybe it would be hilarious, and they probably SHOULD let him make it now.

It’s because he’s mad they don’t ask him to direct.

He makes some good points, and it’s too bad Disney is so friggin’ controlling as to what the puppeteers say and do. But this article does bring this Onion article to mind, especially with some of the comments:

um, The Jason Segel penned movie and its sequel were great 

Remember when the guy who voiced Yoda in The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith didn’t want to be in Jason Segel’s Muppet movie because it “wasn’t true to the characters”?

You’re wrong. Normally I wouldn’t weigh in on other people’s opinions, but since you’re responding to somebody suggesting that The Muppets was good by saying, “it really, really isn’t” like an ass, I’m gonna go ahead and say you’re wrong and probably smell like farts.

I loved that show. It got the characterisations exactly right. Kermit’s stress over his staff’s conduct was wonderful. And Uncle Deadly as Miss Piggy’s wardrobe man was positively delicious.

Hey, The Muppets is more than decent. It’s good, even.

I remember thinking this was the ugliest movie I’d ever seen, because everything was jaundice-ass yellow. (at the time, I’m not sure if “baleful sepia” would’ve been in my vocabulary.)

Counterpoint: Anime was a mistake. :P

The Wii U had a huge list of amazing games that didn’t sell because the console wasn’t selling very well. It makes sense for Nintendo to port over these titles. I ended up buying Bayonetta 2 twice (once on Wii U now on Switch), simply because I didn’t have time to play it at home, but loads of time on the go.

Taco - might I recommend a job with the White House? You have a valid point about the population split in the uk, but you completely lose the argument with a gratuitous insult... you want to be taken seriously (I assume you do) then add to the discussion, don’t bring it into the gutter.

Crying over inadequate representation of blacks in film is like crying over inadequate representation of whites in hip hop. Makes no sense at all. After all, the whites did invent the motion picture (and TV). Plus there are an estimated 12,000 ethnic groups in the world. It would be a daunting task to ensure adequate…

Hmmh, those are three examples for about 400 years of european art history of which the oldest strongly suggest that the artist had no first hand knowledge of what black people actually look like. And this can not been put down on artistic incapability. You just have to look on how the rest of the statue is worked or…

Wakandans will turn a blind eye to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and European colonialism of the rest of Africa.

Hudlin made a much greater mark on the character than anyone before him combined.

You lost me at “head cannon”, both figuratively and grammatically.

The pictures in that post are of medieval Bohemian paintings, but they are not of contemporary people in Bohemia, they are of Biblical figures in the Middle East and Africa. The Queen of Sheba died almost 2000 years before that was painted and never set foot in Bohemia. The mere fact that someone is presenting…

MedievalPOC's argument is misleading though. It's dominated with images of the Queen of Sheba and St Maurice, and while those images were created in Bohemia, they clearly did not depict Bohemia or the time frame in question.
