The son is voiced by a woman. I heard that Ralph Wiggum is voiced by a lady too, but I think that makes me special.

PostNouveau posted:Alright well they go to a convention and watch a Krusty panel where the announce an all-girl Itchy & Scratchy reboot. Bart and the other boys decide to pointedly not watch it. But Bart is caught on camera going up to Lisa's room, where she's filming her reaction to the new show, and laughing at it. Video of him being a hypocrite make is on "Josh.0". ![]()

I have a few episode ideas. Bart joins ISIS A musical episode centered around Marge (nothing but Marge singing, maybe a bit of Lisa to compliment) Crossover with Law and Order: SVU Bob Sagat??? (Still workshopping this one) I'll just leave these next to the door on the way out.

I echo the sentiment that if they're letting random Twitter accounts write episodes they should draft Wint and Da Share Z0ne to take the reigns.

Oh well shame that the Megan Amram episode was bad, she's funny on twitter. Thanks to the posters who are inexplicably still watching 21st century Simpsons for letting everyone know.

Everything is shaded with consistent light sources but the characters themselves and it looks supremely ugly. Like either go all the way or don't, you can't have it both ways

I watched the clip from the previous page and... yeuuuchhh. I knew the animation had taken a dive but it's somehow even worse than when I checked back in about 6 or 7 years ago. Everything just looks so stilted and skewed and it has like some weird digital-pastel-coloring going on. Previous poster is very correct on the shading. It sucks that this is the 'true' Simpsons for a generation+ of people now

I’m honestly blown away that a format limited to 240 characters in text didn’t translate very well to a 20 minute animation.

The animation of Bart spray painting things in the latest episode is really telling (not sure if it's in that clip, no way I 'm watching more to find out). He barely moves his arm at all. It's so lazy

The clock to the left of Milhouse is lit from above and below and somehow casting shadows from both angles

marktheando posted:Oh well shame that the Megan Amram episode was bad, she's funny on twitter. The credited writer barely matters. They hand in an initial draft but then there are several rewrites in which dozens of writers get their hands on it. There might be 10% of her original script in what actually aired.

I'd honestly count that as it being easier to write good episodes of a fresh show that's still surprising the audience than it is to pump laffs into a 30 year old marketing beast.

Is the Simpsons really a marketing beast these days? Through the 90's it was a merchandising powerhouse, but now, is there a lot of Simpsons branded merchandise anymore?

I misspoke I didn't mean marketing beast like it was in the 90s. I meant marketing beast as in exists to move Funkos more than it exists to tell stories about Springfield.

Like I’m not going to watch this poo poo and check. The early 2000s stuff looks mostly okay. It’s when the show went completely digital it started to look completely lifeless.

Krusty is one of the things they've been the most inconsistent with, on a show that always was very full of inconsistencies. Sometimes Krusty's show is for young children, other times it's some sort of prime time showcase for all ages. Sometimes Krusty is only a regional celebrity that can mostly blend in with the public, other times he's a big name international star with a huge brand to his name.

Like I’m not going to watch this poo poo and check. and the thing that kills me is how NOTICEABLE it is. i'm not exactly an animation snob, and i'm horrible at art myself, but the quality is so low that it's obvious even to ME how terrible it is.

All the simpsons merch I see these days are instagram artists who make really cool unlicensed merch and then change their shops name every month because they keep getting hit with cease and desists.
