The Muppets are Back! More than 12 years since their last big-screen appearance, on November 23, The Muppetswill have it’s big wide-screen opening after already featuring in several select location these past few months. The reviews? Great. Not a lot of people know, but with anything going on with pop-geek culture in recent years, social media had a lot to do with it.
Yes, a franchise that was created way way back in the mid 1950s needed a revival of sorts, and there’s no place better than the internet with some amazing fan art to push forgotten icons back into the headlines.
X-Men Muppets
Animal fits Wolverine perfectly, but Beaker as Cyclops just doesn’t feel right.
Kermit, God of Thunder
I love Gonzo as Loki so much. Maybe he’ll have a cameo in the next Avengers Film.

A Game of Muppets
HBO released footage from what’s been going on the set of the second season of A Game of Thrones, based on the A Clash of Kings book. As Muppets tend to be involved with anything relevant in the Geek-Universe, you had to see this Mediaval Mash-up Coming.

Batman and “Friends”
Muppets make bad superheroes, but even worse villains.
It’s Not Easy Being Green
I think the movie would have done better if Kermit would have been in it.
