The Simpsons Movie 2

[Robert8]

So, it's finally happening: The Simpsons is getting a second film

Why now?

I find this pretty interesting considering the Disney/Fox merge 

Could Disney be behind this?

Exciting.  I love the Simpsons.

The Bob's Burgers movie might be even better.

I am wary of the Family Guy project.

I hope Sideshow Bob will appear this time

 

He is my fav character and I hated that his scenes in the first movie were deleted

Maybe this will be the series finale. It's gone on for 30 seasons, I think it would be a good time to wrap things up.

I don't see why it needs to end, but you make a decent point.

I'm surprised that Groening is taking on such a big project considering he is also releasing a Netflix show soon.

I'm extremely indifferent towards the Simpsons, so sure, why not. The first one was decent, so I'll probably watch this one too.

Hopefully we'll see Moe and Sideshow Bob if it ever happens.

I think the Simpsons was best early on and was great until the release of the first movie, which was also excellent. It worked as a series finale for me.

I sortve view everything after as extra so I don't get upset if the quality is up or down with new content. 

It may seem random but I've been rewatching M*A*S*H and one thing that makes that show so great is how it evolves. Characters grow, leave, are added and the story grows rather then stick to the sthick. I think the Simpsons missed an oportunity to grow.

Characters should've aged. Dynamics changed. It's a risk but honestly it doesn't feel right that now I'm much much older then Bart Simpson and at one point we were the same age at the same time.

I think the writers played it safe when the whole premise of the show was full of incredible risks.

HOWEVER I know there are people who enjoy the new stuff and that's great. More power to you and I hope the film is great as befitting a show like the Simpsons.

While I haven't watched the show in a while, I always enjoy it enough when I do.  But I wanted to comment on the idea of growing older.  Interestingly, I was roughly Bart's age when I began watching and he was the best and most interesting part of the show for me.  As I grew older, I began to relate more to Homer's character.  Because of this shift in perspective, I quite like how the characters have stayed the same while I have been changing.  It allows me to enjoy the show more on different levels.
