Bust Rodd posted:I was listening to some comedy podcasts that basically said anyone who hangs with Simpson’s cast & crew just heard about how lovely it is now and nobody hangs out anymore and it’s basically at “we all hate each other” levels now. Which podcasts, out of curiosity? I want to hear about this. I also kinda want to listen to the audio commentary for the new seasons. The insights in the audio commentary for the 1-8 DVDs were usually interesting and funny, but what would they even have to say about the newer ones?

I like that they chose the worst of both worlds when it comes to keeping all the Disney characters on-model vs. adapting them to Simpsons-style.

LIVE AMMO COSPLAY posted:The last gag in Homer's Enemy just isn't funny enough to end on Eh, I liked it. A nice final contrast of dumb sitcom humor (“CHANGE THE CHANNEL MARGE! *snore*”) and the grim reality of the situation (Grimes’ coffin getting lowered).

One of my favorite parts of “Homer’s Enemy” is how the factory subplot intersects with main plot. Just this offhand mention of Bart owning a factory, and Grimes takes it at face value and it just adds to his spitefulness.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah, the implication was worse back then, now. what i find interesting is the GOP has been slinking back into the moral majority bullshit harder again, so lol if we see chuds ranting about cartoons again like the bad old days. I mean, they already are, but instead of being mad about rude kids and innuendos, they’re mad about black or gay people existing in a cartoon.

There are a lot of Season 8 episodes that have kinda “ehh” plots and premises, but there’s enough memorable one-off jokes that it’s easy to overlook. Season 9 was double the bad parts of Season 8, but still some good jokes. Then Season 10 is where the nosedive starts and where some truly awful trends begin (celebrities playing as themselves without self-deprecation, “The Simpsons are going to <blank>!”).

I’m surprised they haven’t at least used the voice actor + AI combination to try to make the actors sound like they used to, like they did with young Luke in The Mandalorian. They’ve got that Disney access now.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I also have a vivid, probably insane mental image of a Kingdom Hearts game where Homer gets along strangely well with Sora, Donald and Goofy, and also goes back-to-back with Flanders fighting off an entire horde of Heartless in an unnecessarily badass battle scene. And then thinks Luke Skywalker is Mark Hamill and decks an entire platoon of Stormtroopers thinking they're rowdy cosplayers, much to Luke's bemusement. I legit hope Springfield is a world in the next game, because why not at this point?

Ghost Leviathan posted:Almost certainly going to be a very cursed Simpsons Sora. Lisa would probably still crush on him. The Family Guys and the Futuramas went to Springfield without their designs changing, so I think it’s been canonically established that Springfield wouldn’t change their appearance the way other worlds do. 🤓

Yeah, that was better than I expected. Nothing groundbreaking, but consistent and nothing monstrously bad like “Susan Boil.” Hope they keep it up at least at that level, but considering one of the upcoming episodes is called “Zapp Gets Cancelled”, I have strong doubts.

SlothfulCobra posted:I guess after poking around looking at the Simpsons driving games, I found The Simpsons Game from 2007 (largely unrelated to the Simpsons movie of 2007). I had no interest in trying to play an old and forgotten tie-in game, but since it was fully voice-acted, and seems to be a more elaborate game than Road Rage or Hit and Run, maybe it's something worth watching the cutscenes? I watched that out of curiosity a long time ago. I liked that they made Milhouse the King of All Cosmos, but yeah, it’s not great. Making the lovely shoehorned-in guest star a boss battle is also a fun concept on paper, though probably not in the way they intended.

I guess a new thing is to have characters perform lovely out-of-character stand-up routines. Pretty sure they did something like that with Mr. Burns recently too.

Yeah, that was one of the more relatable aspects of The Simpsons when I watched it as a kid. There were plenty of kids at school I would consider “bullies” one moment, but then the next we were playing games together. Social status didn’t really solidify until middle school.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Reminded of when Marge is shocked and also genuinely impressed at Homer's bootlegging operation, outright admitting it's the cleverest thing he's ever done, and while illegal it's only breaking a barely enforceable law that no one wanted or likes. She's even consistent on that point, and only changes her mind when the situation has changed and Homer's more genuinely at risk. That scene was great for that aspect, and also Homer, Marge, and Bart all together yelling at Lisa to go to her room.
