I haven't watched zombie simpsons, but lisa had her place in the good seasons, I'm guessing zombie simpsons makes her more preachy
RIP to the only man that was as sick as Spoony claimed to be...

Worse. They turned her into the One Who is Right, All the Time.
That figures, because half the fun of the show was having Lisa whine about something and the other people saying how stupid she was, or how Homer was actually right etc.Tony Schiavone wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 12:03 amWorse. They turned her into the One Who is Right, All the Time.
Excellent assessment. Even the good seasons had too many “Lisa is special” episodes, it’s like the writers are parents who feel the need to constantly remind their shitty kid how unique they are.Tony Schiavone wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 12:03 amWorse.

Her character acrs follow the same tired pattern.
First she encounters something trendy, or that gives her the opportunity to be a know-it-all. This is reinforced by the appearance of a celebrity and/or everyone else but her being naive or an idiot.
She then proceeds to get everything she wants that episode, though a combination of convenience and her inherently superior abilities in whatever she attempts.
The writers, though, know that they can't simply having an episode be like that, because it would be too short, the show is a comedy, and they were taught in college classes that writing is 'supposed' to have conflict. It also needs to return to the status quo for next week--Lisa Cantwell be just great at one thing, because then they can't showcase her being great at everything else.
So to fill time and be "funny" they fill it around with lolrandom gag attempts and everyone else being a stereotype of themselves that lacks any character development or could shine on their own in any way that could humanize themselves (Homer is brainless, Bart is a nihilist, everyone else is a one-note punchline).
Then, they need to have Lisa lose her job, special school, etc. to reset for next week. But not look bad or incorrect at all.
So this means the plot is resolved by some other character doing something harmful or stupid to ruin it for her, or for the most nonsensical reason to have it shut down/stopped magically deus ex machina.
Then, despite the fact that she doesnt deserve them, Lisa sticks with her family and town anyway. Daww. Roll credits, cue licensed song budget was spent on.

Does his job pay well? There are many Simpsons episodes where they're scraping around for cashVoiceOfReasonPast wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 4:33 pmDude, you have a stable, well-paying job you're severely underqualified for.
