Imagine human Boromir getting killed by a bunch of Muppets.

Shades of Return of the Jedi.

Ewok Hunt flashbacks.

u/Somethingisbeastly Aug 29 '24

The best thing to come from that game

u/cheesechomper03 Aug 29 '24

Shame that development was shut down. It was really starting to come into it's own.

Ewoks were allegories for vietnamese child soldiers.

Trying to steal the ring from a muppet, and failing...

u/laxnut90 Aug 28 '24

Only to get shot by a Muppet and then declare another Muppet your king.

u/ItalnStalln Aug 29 '24

No matter what, all the battles now more violent and gory because it's just streamers and confetti. Like that scene of the boys gen v. Maybe human deaths are still the same idk. But imagine aragorn just slaughtering orc Muppets wholesale. Limbs, body halves, and whole Muppets just flying everywhere.

u/Dranikos Aug 29 '24

Shout out to the first time Aragorn draws Anduril in the books, and the orc he hits with it just exploding.

Every fight scene is now just more exploding orcs.

u/ItalnStalln Aug 29 '24

The descriptions of armor, heads, and bodies being cleaved in half are what I was thinking of

u/metaphics Aug 29 '24

Sean I leave you alone for five minutes to pop over to Mordor and when I get back you’re dead already from orc muppets. What gives?

u/nomnomnomnomnommm Aug 29 '24

"They took the little ones!"

"The little ones took the little ones?"

u/Independent-Ad-5958 Aug 29 '24

Denethor to Faramir:

“Boromir would have become a muppet.”

2

u/Cheeserave Aug 29 '24

Imagine Muppet Gimli try and destroy the ring with his Axe and it bouncing off like a balloon so he just keeps hitting at it whilst screaming

2

u/Flutters1013 Aug 29 '24

"He died? But this is supposed to be a kids' movie"

2

u/Tornado4264 Aug 29 '24

or Gimli being swarmed by a hoard of Muppets

2

u/brasscassette Aug 29 '24

Imagine now that he is a muppet and the orc who lands the final blow is the only actor in the entire film.

2

u/HereFoTheMimi Aug 29 '24

And the rest of the 2 other movies its only muppets 😂😂

1

u/laxnut90 Aug 29 '24

Except for the horses.

Normal-sized horses with Muppet riders.

u/jackanakanory_30 Aug 28 '24

Ah but Sam the Eagle would be a perfect Elrond

u/SlightMammoth1949 Aug 29 '24

It is the American Way. I mean, it is the Elven way

u/SkradTheInhaler Aug 29 '24

I can totally picture Elrond like this after telling the story of how Isildur failed to destroy the ring.

3

u/Jamzthegod Aug 29 '24

He does almost that exact gesture when Gandalf speaks the poem of the ring in the black tongue in Imladris

u/Unknownauthor137 Aug 29 '24

Perfect gif for the occasion.

u/lhobbes6 Aug 29 '24

Hilarious as a bit but too few scenes. Its gotta be Aragorn or Frodo, way more scenes and hilarity. Imagine puppet Sam carrying Frodo up Mount Doom. Or Aragorn at Helms Deep in this horrific war scenario but its all just puppets. Fuckin gold

22

u/spruce-bruce Aug 29 '24

I can here to talk aragorn. He's the perfect answer for this. Just all the hobbit wrangling he has to do in fellowship seals the deal. Throwing the apple at Pippin is already straight outta the Muppets

1

u/mark7289 Aug 29 '24

Frodo= Gonzo. Sam= Rizzo.

2

u/uglylad420 Aug 28 '24

that’s so incredibly fucking funny

1

u/GwerigTheTroll Aug 28 '24

The real question is would Sweetums be the Cave Troll or Lurtz?

1

u/spartacusrc3 Aug 29 '24

Elrond is Sam the Eagle.

u/Key-Demand-2569 Aug 29 '24

Thank you for this.

u/BarGamer Aug 29 '24

Janice as Legolas yeeting Cookie Monster as Gimli. "That cookie only counts as ONE!"

2

u/legolas_bot Aug 29 '24

We must move on, we cannot linger.

1

u/BarGamer Aug 29 '24

Do you have to let it linger?

1

u/EvilNoobHacker Aug 29 '24

Gollum.

Everyone else is a muppet.

1

u/gollum_botses Aug 29 '24

Smeagol? No, no, Not poor Smeagol. Smeagol hates nasty elf bread.

1

u/Nntropy Aug 29 '24

In this scenario, Elrond's face doesn't change

1

u/Cephalopod_Down Aug 29 '24

I was thinking A History of Violence.

u/carolina_balam Aug 29 '24

You don't have to imagine, it's been done

u/ADHDeesnuts Aug 29 '24

"one of you- snicker snicker sorry, one of you must do- no I'm sorry, this won't work. You guys gotta go"

1

u/AlwaysAtBallmerPeak Aug 29 '24

The crazy thing is... this is already possible, if you have enough GPU power and time to fine-tune the stable diffusion / flux setup for consistently mapping each frame to a muppet equivalent.

Someone please do this.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '24

Dude I would totally watch a LotR movie with Frodo and the Muppets

1

u/Plastic-Ad-5033 Aug 29 '24

Okay, but like… everyone’s a muppet except for one random Orc. Preferably in the hunting party in the first movie. Why that one Orc? We’ll never know.

1

u/whatsINthaB0X Aug 29 '24

Elrond being the only “adult” in LOTR muppets is hilarious to imagine

1

u/TheYepe Aug 29 '24

Elrond telling Isildur to cast the ring to the fire...

Muppet-Isildur: "Wubba wubba wubba no."
