If the final tour of the multiverse in Avengers: Doomsday doesn't include a scene on the home world of the Muppets, what's even the point of corporate IP consolidation?

THE PREMISE IS THAT THE MUPPETS ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW CALLED THE MUPPET SHOW
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.

this is perhaps the most useful thing that LLMs and GenAI have done: to provoke people into articulating (over again) that even the 'hardest' of 'hard sciences' are human endeavours, with human meaning, and concerned with human understanding of the significance of the world we all inhabit
