So, Muppet Jumanji

I can't tell you how many times I think of an amusing idea only to remember that it already exists.

This is the most judgey comma I've seen in a while. Very well done

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

....

Excuse me? What now?

[-] escew@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

In one of the newer jumanji movies the kids that get trapped in the game are played by jack black/dwayne Johnson/kevin hart.

Karen Gillian too right?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

Yes, thanks. For some reason I can't edit that right now.

  1. It's not the whole franchise, so that's not entirely accurate, and 2. the movie they're referencing was the weakest of all the Jumanji cash-grabs (funded in no small part by Hart & Johnson), so there's little likelihood that anyone would complain — Besides, it's the fuckin' Muppets! Let's go-o-o-o!
[-] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Wait, but the new jumanji beats Zathura by a long shot, both pale to original jumanji.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Every bullshit attempt after the Robin Williams classic isn't worth being referred to as a Jumanji movie. Case closed.

Whoa whoa whoa - the Jumanji reboot was excellent. It's still a kids movie, but Jack Black was amazing, and even Kevin "Homophobe" Hart showed some chops. And the Rock and Karen Gilliam are both good as always.

Yes, it's a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia, but everything now is a derivative recycle of existing IP capitalizing on nostalgia. At least they updated the board game idea to have fun 80s video game call backs and tried their best for a good script and good acting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sounds like Drunk Muppet History to me. Why not?

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

My immediate thought too
