a review of 辛普森一家

Ported from a dead account Would be wrong to perceive this in a vacuum. This is essentially the finale of the series. A swan song, created by the people behind the golden age of The Simpsons, the greatest comedy TV series of all time. Having repeatedly lost soulmates and role models, consistently misunderstood and dismissed, Lisa finally finds someone like her. A boy who not only listens to her, but shares her interests in music, environment and justice. I couldn't help but think about "Moaning Lisa" and "Lisa's Substitute" and feel happy that for once she found a little happiness. I was also happy to see Martin stand up to bullies and the comic book guy concluding that his obsession with comics was "life well spent". Correct conclusion if you ask me. And Bart and Homer jumping over the Springfield Gorge together as a callback to "Bart the Daredevil" is a perfect symbolism for their bonding. And finally Maggie gets to kill [or at least severely injure] her final victim. The one thing that was missing is, when the dome is blown up and the glass pieces are raining down on the crowd that looks up, Lenny should've screamed "Ow, my eye! I'm not supposed get glass in it!" Sure, the series technically continued after this, but in my headcanon it had been dead for two seasons by the time this came out. Seeing how this film was written by the series' veteran writers (including Matt Groening himself), this is the last major piece of the Simpsons media that is artistically connected to the series-defining seasons that shaped the very identity of this show. I'll just keep pretending this came out after season 16 and was the actual finale.
