    In the 2011 Muppets movie, Gonzo had moved on from the Muppets ensemble and started his own flourishing toilet company: Gonzo’s Royal Flush.

    He initially rejects Kermit’s plea to return to the Muppets. His life as a CEO was what he wanted. His fine suit, his fine wife (a Chicken, of course), his sprawling business empire… He was living the dream.

    But then, he comes to, and decides to rejoin the Muppets.

    But this is the best part, from his suit, he withdraws a detonator.

    He activates it, and blows up his whole industrial complex.

    Like, why did he have to destroy it? Why did he decide to rig his whole operation with explosives? Was he really coming to work every day with the detonator in his breast pocket??

    This is the high drama piece I want. I want to see Gonzo rise to the top while his internal struggles and duality is tearing him apart.
