The Simpsons and a Surprising Death:
This incredible series is now in its 36th season, with some exciting changes that fans are sure to love. As we jump into the season, a pretty unexpected event made a big impact. Even for "The Simpsons" which are known for being full of laughter! One of the first episodes "Bart's Birthday," had fans watching and wondering how much the creators could take their favorite characters, and they pulled no punches.
While "The Simpsons" has given fans moments that made their stomachs turn as well as giving them a lot of laugher! We see more and more horror and gruesome content, especially those awesome "Treehouse of Horror" episodes that made Halloween really something! It's always a special, spooky event! It appears they are stepping out of their comfort zone! That is until they brought out a death scene from the show that really got a rise out of those watching!
Mr. Burns Makes a Horrifying Exit:
The new season is a lot more dramatic and gives audiences a glimpse of a show pushing the envelope, and a glimpse of something not to miss! This crazy show decided to feature an "ending." But fans know these moments never truly last!
If there's one character who has been able to bring the humor, it's none other than Mr. Burns, and even his comedic moments are known to be outrageous and surprising. This made his "death scene" that much more fascinating! For viewers watching the new series, there's something crazy to consider. There's this twist, where the entire storyline focuses on "Mr. Burns" trying to play a prank and pretend to be gone. This was in a super unexpected moment that really put audiences on edge. Even a character like "Homer", didn't mean to do this. This whole plan went completely sideways as Mr. Burns was accidentally shoved into a Nuclear Reactor Core!
An Acid-Soaked Death:
There is something super shocking, but hilarious that came from this show, showing fans that anything could happen, no matter how ridiculous. For Mr. Burns fans that have been around since the beginning will know he always has his classic yellow skin. In just moments that felt a little more than brutal as he is engulfed in acid the color starts to change! In what felt like the slow descent into his doom. In just minutes Mr. Burns went from yellow to a shade that fans of the show know means death: a light, pale skin color.
What made it truly intense is how it left a deep, disturbing image.
A major moment! You may have to look twice. You will see how "Mr. Burns' " body had dissolved from this horrible encounter! All you get is his shoes! It was almost comical. Mr. Burns did have time to register what happened but still died and he could barely utter any sounds at the time!
The Fallout From The Episode
"The Simpsons" has certainly not shied away from these horrifying and dramatic moments. In some cases, fans have even seen Mr. Burns be the victim, often as part of their incredible "Treehouse of Horror" specials. It seemed, though, that in these past events the events took place so fast, Mr. Burns didn't even have time to notice before he perished! In one of these events he had his bones explode as he is shot in the head, becoming nothing but a heap of dust.
This series however, gave us an incredibly disturbing event that took a new direction as we watch this epic series. The ending in "Bart's Birthday" episode is truly insane!
- We see the effects of this death as everyone celebrates the death of "Mr. Burns".
You will never forget it as we go through these memorable events of the episode and it makes one thing apparent that "Mr. Burns" demise brought out these elements! Fans of this incredible show were left wondering if this new season of "The Simpsons", especially since we've seen so many special episodes like "A Serious Flanders," in which a death of a big character wasn't as disturbing and it felt like it could even have a place within that storyline, as we saw the big "Mr. Burns" impact.
What Does The Death Mean:
A long-time favorite series! One that really goes the extra mile. This episode is nothing short of surprising and fans will be asking if these really are the moments they will continue to experience! If you are a true fan of this show and looking to watch those "Treehouse of Horror" specials.
Those really are the time when these shows really put their heart into shocking those watching but this most recent event, has put everything up to a higher standard. In years past these have been one of the more shocking specials, but it's apparent from this episode! It was really interesting to see how these specials might go as this episode will make those really unforgettable and truly disturbing!
This special event was nothing short of crazy. It seemed like a way for the show's creators to bring up some serious discussion, how much can a family-oriented show take on, before it starts to go against all of its great traditions! But it is apparent "The Simpsons" is full of incredible storylines, humor and great events for its fans to always be in for a ride and make fans wonder about what's coming next.
