You know what? If we’re going to bring real world logic into that franchise, lets start with something that has more evidence. I see what she’s doing to Kermit’s as an abusive partner manipulating their ex back into a relationship. If we’re talking real world logic, let’s talk about the fact Piggy was just using giving up her position so that she could lord it over Kermit later, further contributing to her emotional and physical abuse of her longtime boyfriend/stalkee. There’s a reason he was afraid to go ask her to come back. She was fucking abusive and the other Muppet’s didn’t’ understand that because unlike him, most of them thrive on that kind of insanity, whereas he tends to play the strait man. He stood up to her properly by standing her up, and now he’s crawling back because his friends think they need her to save the theater. Effectively, in order to try to save something of his friend’s legacy together, he went back to an abusive ex, and she used the situation to manipulate him into an even weaker footing and a renewed relationship. He’s got battered spouse syndrome, and she’s using a relatively avoidable and alleged career setback to gain power over him in the relationship. Posted it there, posting it here:

Especially liked the part about the Kermit/Piggy relationship. Some people think it's the pig who makes it dysfunctional, but in reality it's the frog. Face it: Kermit's a jerk. He asks much of Piggy but offers very little in return. She's fabulous and he's mostly self-absorbed and self-pitying. Sometimes it's hard to understand why she digs him. But it's a good thing for the franchise because it's about the only element that's remotely adult about it. The movie was okay. But MAN was a shitload of stuff cut out of it. Plot holes indeed.
