BAND SHIT

Just then, Katelyn approaches and hears what they’re saying. No one, not even Aaron, expected her right hook that takes out the main antagonist of the group.

Katelyn: Cheerleaders are tougher than you think. Especially the Exy team cheerleaders. You’re just lucky my backliner boyfriend didn’t take a swing at you first.

he's a vampire and is draining the other three of youth

it was for his own safety. if he went on stage in all his 2005 scene queen half of jersey all of warped tour glory the seismic shockwave of two dozen nostalgia bait emo bandman dissolving their marriages for a chance with that sopping wet twink would have levelled nevada

bad ending where instead of the band breaking up and mikey getting help they drag the band's shambling corpse around until mikey dies young. pulling back the curtains on how unhappy and unhealthy they all were during the era that wwwyf is trying to capitalize off. you want us to keeping going back to 2005 for the sake of your nostalgia? okay mikey's fucking dead now (makes me unbelievably upset to consider but exactly the kind of shit they'd pull)

I have thought about casting and while I am open to suggestions I do think that I made the correct choices

First off Gerard, while it is easy to put the frontman as Kermit I feel like Kermit just doesn't have the right air to do Gerard justice. So the obvious answer is Mrs Piggy, she is a show stopper and would be able to put her all into it giving Gerard's vision the proper theatrics needed.

Next up is Frank. While there are several muppets that I feel work for Frank, this is casting a muppet to play him not be him. So we would have to lean into a specific aspect, either his willingness to fling his body around or his height. For those reasons I think that he should either be played by Gonzo or Sweetums. Gonzo is known for his daring stunts which works perfectly with Frank's high energy movements. Sweetums works in the opposite way, he's one of the biggest muppets and towers over the rest of the cast. So it would be perfect muppet humor to still treat him as if he's the shortest member of the group. Both could work and it would mostly depend on the energy needed.

While I think many people would place Rowlf as Ray I just can not see him in that role. Rowlf is too cemented as a piano player, and while people might try to argue about the ear to hair comparison Rowlf just does not have what it takes to be Ray. Which is why I would cast Janice as Ray. As lead guitarist of electric mayhem Janice is able to embody Ray in a way that other muppets, even musical ones, just wouldn't be able to replicate.

Drums will be Animal. I feel like I don't have to explain that one.

For Mikey I am torn. I could see Scooter in his spot, or Robin if we want to go with the younger brother angle, but overall I feel like there's not a muppet who can embody enough of him to get his energy right. Scooter is too eager, Robin is too young, Beaker too nervous, Sam too serious, etc and so on. So there is only one real direction to go, Mikey is Mikey.
