Crazy that the first movie will have released 20 years prior and we thought that the Simpsons were too old back then. Still the best Simpsons game that was a tie-in with the movie.

 

[DKehoe]

I love The Simpsons. But fucking hell, let it rest.

 

[Fake]

Is Marge will still be dead?

 

[Lambogenie]

Crazy how they didn't milk the movies back then, what took them so long.

 

[SJRB]

Is Marge will still be dead?

Wait, Marge is dead?

 

[falconhoof]

I thought they stopped making Simpsons years ago, had no idea it was still on.

 

[Fake]

Wait, Marge is dead?

Just joking about their last 'future' episode where Margie is really dead.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

that's a weird way to grab a donut.

Please make it stop. It's a never-ending soap opera now.

Groening said at the time that producing movies was too stressful.

 

[kunonabi]

I'm good, the original was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

We are as far out from the first Simpsons Movie as the movie was from the first episode of The Simpsons when it released.

 

[Hookshot]

I loved the Simpson back in the glory days but I never went to see the film as it was already fading for me. I'll watch this drunk at Christmas in a 5 years time.

 

[Unknown?]

First movie had some good laughs, wasn't close to being a memorable classic though.

If 7/11 has squishies and buzz cola again, I'll be down.

It will take all the nostalgia it can scrape to make this remotely appealing

 

[Trilobit]

Nice, nice. Now give us Simpson's Hit & Run 2 also.

 

[wondermega]

Genuinely interested if they can somehow make any kind of a Simpsons film that is relevant to a dude in his 50s such as myself (spoiler: NO)

Anyway it is interesting, a bit. My friend's young daughters are obsessed with the show, so I can appreciate that the IP still has legs for the current gen. I did miss the 1st one in the theater so this might be a chance to experience that weirdness 1st-hand. Feels unlikely though, but weirder things have happened, I suppose..

[SpiceRacz]

It could be decent if it's a collaboration between the old and newer writers, like the first movie.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I hope it flops hard.

 

[notjeffgoldblum]

D'oh!

 

[reinking]

I hope it flops hard.

People can hate on it but I still love The Simpson's. I guess I am not one of the cool kids. I am hoping to see them reference Marvel.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

There are 6 good seasons of The Simpsons and 634 bad seasons of The Simpsons.

 

[DKehoe]

 

[Madonis]

I think could be a good film. The first Simpsons movie was pretty neat back in the day. No reason why this couldn't be at least decent.

It doesn't change the fact that the property is mostly operating on auto-pilot and won't end until enough of the original cast either retires or passes away.

[Divus]

Holy shit it has been 18 years since the first movie came out? If someone asked me I would been thinking like maybe 5 or possibly 6 years ago.

 

[AJUMP23]

Never watched it one time.

 

[Pejo]

I wouldn't be surprised if this is being done just so they can update the Simpsons part of Universal Studios theme parks with some new stuff.

 

[badblue]

Fucking crazy the Simpsons have been going this long.

I remember watching the premiere back in '89.

 

[Coconutt]

Stopped watching ages ago but I heard apu was just removed all of a sudden due to the Indian accent? Wonder if they'll bring him back.

 

[Revolutionary]

Not surprised. The Simpsons is now owned by Disney, who are currently in the process of trying to figure out a way to revive and/or milk every IP they've purchased. Alien TV show? Check. Predator animated movie? Check. New Simpsons movie? Check.

COVID began nearly 6 years ago

I stopped watching after they butchered the OG voices.

Here's new Carl:



Here the OG voice for reference:

Simpsons were already cooked but I still kinda hoped they would find some magic for the first movie.

They sure as fuck didn't.

 

[Beretta]

Aren't most of the cast in their 70's and 80's?

The Simpsons stopped being consistently funny like 3 decades ago.

 

[Toots]

Only way this movie isn't DOA is to let the cumtown bunch write it

 

[Roufianos]

Would love it to be actually be good, what are the chances of that though.

Given that it's Disney? This is more likely

The SImpsons will forever sit in this place in my heart next to playing NES games and Burtons two Batfilms. That nostalgia goes until season 6 or so and can be maybe pushed to 10. That worlds is endlessly watchable,,,but cmon...after that ....how many fucking times can you be in the fourth grade or can Marge and Homer have marraige problems that need to be resolved. the show just runs on its own recycled self. Still that feeling remains with the Simpsons of that time and place....but anything post 2000 feels like a dead horse being beat with a lead pipe covered in glass.

Pretty much, I mean I stopped watching the Simpsons for the same reason I stopped watching The Family Guy. I was watching a episode and not laughing because I kept getting the feeling I had already seen this episode. Yet it was literally a new episode being shown for the first time.(I probably would have found it funny if it had been on 5 years earlier.) That is like you said, somewhere between seasons 6-10 for both of them.

 

[bobbobuk]

Could this be the curtain call?

 

[kevboard]

"shit, we need to do this before all our voice actors die"
was probably the reasoning behind this lol.

 

[Ribi]

Why do people cope so hard? I see posts about "well the first one was good so this one should be ok." Like somehow the writers of the show decided they want to be good all of a sudden after 20 years? The people who will watch this are the same wierd ass fuckers who give millions of youtube views to snl, talk show, and family guy clips.
