It has been true in recent years and it is still true today: “Simpsons” is still good, people! Up to 36 seasons, a cultural phenomenon has proven to be one of the truly reliable American institutions, the TV, the titanium of pop culture, one of the most influential animated performances of all time.
During the season 36, we saw great episodes where couples we no longer see so often, such as the episode in which Homer and his father create a sport, or one where Bart and his grandfather bind over the baseball, and the episode that parod the “white lotus” (and killed a character we had not seen for decades). And yet, the best two episodes of the season were Marge Simpson (Julie Kavner). The first is called “PS I Hate You”, and it deals with Marge’s need to keep and chaos that is born when her secret hate she has written for everyone in Springfield for years is stolen. Then we have the season finale, “Estranger things” on how Bart (Nancy Cartwright) and Lisa (Yardley Smith) were committed to “itchy and scratched” and how they get in a possible future where Marge dies before Homer (Dan Castelane).
Yes, you heard it right. Marge dies before Homer. Somehow.
It is a big change to how “The Simpsons” had previously described things, leading to lazy writers and fans online that have not watched the program over the years to jump into conclusions and speculate that Marge Simpson is officially and unequivocally died. At least the noise got tough enough that executive producer Matt Solman had to confirm Variety That Marge Simpson is not really dead.
“There there is No canon, “Selman said, answering the question of whether Marge’s death is for the future schedule of the canon’s exhibition.” The Simpsons “Not even Canony!”
“Because ‘the future episodes of The Simpsons are all speculative fantasies, they are all different,” Selman said. “Marge is probably never dead ever again. The only place Marge has died in one upcoming episode that was performed six weeks ago.”
In fact, the speculation around Marge’s death came from the fact that this is the first time the “The Simpsons” episode showed the future where Marge died in front of Homer. Although every “The Simpsons” episode ignores what is in front of it, the future episodes have, for the most part, followed the relatively streamlined continuity. Lisa has always succeeded, if not directly the President of the United States. Bart is a loser and Homer died at a young age. Sure, there have been variations, including the great episode “Barthood” (One of the best parody episodes of the exhibition), which shows the success of finding the future Bart to own a bicycle, but it is still mostly the same big events and the same character fate.
Suddenly Marge’s death and leaving Homer as a widow is shocking, which helps the episode to stand out (like Marge would participate in a relationship with Ringo Starr in heaven or Bart drive to Homer and her friends in her childhood care for the elderly). But that does not mean that every episode of the future from here follows this timeline, otherwise it will break the most important rule of Sitcom – things cannot change forever and you can’t put anything on the stone. Still, it is true that Julie Kavner is not younger, and her performance late has certainly shown her voices for years. If something happens to the beloved voice actor, “The Simpsons” is already coming out.
