Yeah I get ya, its hard not taking attacks on things you like personally. Hell, I even do it. My post was also related to a discussion on my NOTPs where I said Daisy & Donald Duck are my NOTPs. Like we both agree they are cute in the newer versions, hell even the old muppet babies show had them have better chemistry. I just feel like in the original show it was written in a way that i interpret as a bit toxic with how Piggy was written and her behavior regarding kermit. Stay awesome my friend!
Yeah I personally didn’t like Piggy’s writing at all in the original show. She became my favorite but I never liked the way they treated her.
And I also didn’t like Kermit’s writing either. Especially how he didn’t care about her in S1 - 3. It wasn’t until S4 and S5 (which was after the first movie) that they started writing him better.
I mean the Christopher Reed episode showed that he actually could feel jealous when she fawns over another person. Like Piggy didn’t intend to make him jealous there, he felt it all on his own.
And in Season 5, where Piggy got turned into a statue, Kermit was so worried about her and stopped everyone from making fun of her. Like that’s how you write character development.
But I’m glad they started developing and writing the relationship and interactions much better in the later projects.
I didn’t become a HUGE shipper of Kermiggy til the 2011 movie. When I saw the moment Piggy saw Kermit again and him looking at her, I felt butterflies in my stomach. It’s weird but they gave me this feeling that I could believe they were in love with each other. Ahaha.
And thanks for being cool about this friend!
