Is Frank Oz a dick or something?

Yuuuuup. I understand he was Jim Henson's best friend, but he acts like he knows exactly what Jim would do in any given situation, and is a bit of a hypocrite. For the former, he publicly accused UK politician Gyles Brandreth of lying when Brandreth stated he had original Fozzie Bear puppet, and when it was proven that he did indeed have an original, Frank gave a half-assed twitter apology about how he "never though Jim (Henson) would give his characters away" which is as stupid as saying because you gave a kid a Batman figure, you gave him the rights to Batman with it. For the latter, he bashed the 2011 Disney soft-reboot of the Muppets without even reading the script, but still gladly cashed the check and came back to play Yoda in TLJ, even though it wasn't written by the Lucasfilm writers and went in a totally different direction. So yeah, he's a bit of a dick, which sucks 'cuz I really love the Muppets...
