Have you ever watched a movie full of human actors and thought to yourself, "Man, I wish some of these people were Muppets."

It's understandable — Muppets add an extra layer of fun and intrigue to everything. And if you haven't yet yearned for actors to be replaced by comedic puppets, you most certainly will after reading this article.

On Friday, a thought-provoking tweet from @BeerBottleBlond sparked a very important Muppets discussion. The tweet encouraged people to pick a movie, choose one actor from that movie to keep, and imagine the rest of the actors played by Muppets. It's a simple task, but the results were hilarious.

It wasn't long before people began to thread their most innovative Muppet casting choices and suggest movies like Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Matrix, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and more.

Someone even suggested a remake of Grosse Pointe Blank starring John Cusack and a bunch of Muppets, to which Cusack himself replied, "I'd like to play a muppet actually."

And, of course, no movie could benefit more from a Muppet than Marriage Story.

The Muppet movie replacement possibilities are endless, but when you think about it, there's really no wrong reply to this prompt.

After you admire the glorious thread, we encourage you to take a minimum of five minutes today to think about your own ideal Muppet cast.
