one thing ive learned as a serious-hobbyist media consumer is that if a movie like this is actually made, it will somehow end up being the most profound one with the actual richest understanding of the source material https://t.co/2PdkxOviVS

@visakanv there's maybe something about the silliness of the muppet concept freeing you from pretension. you wouldn't feel as much pressure to make The Serious Definitive Napoleon Biopic so you can just focus on telling a good story

@QiaochuYuan yea, and this has recursive layers to it. think of the kind of history prof who’d be excited to consult on a film like this. unpretentious, just loves to share

like how the choreography and camerawork in Nerf John Wick is better than most action films https://t.co/pB6eRU8Ese
