Krusty the Clown's Character Damage in a Millennial Narrative
Disney's version of The Simpsons is like a nightmare I had of an episode with ultra-high definition quality, where one side of the face was clear and the other was drawn with the typical simple digital shadow seen in recent episodes, featuring a secondary character who is a kid with reddish-brown hair that had nothing to do with the Simpsons I remember and liked and whose way of speaking seems oversmart, but because in reality, without you realizing it, every sentence he say is a pathetic attempt at a joke, as it is based on a stand-up comedy script. The show used to have rough but more attractive drawings, and didn't need to create new secondary characters for each episode that spewed affection for the terrible current culture, music, and way of life.
That nightmare has become reality, and the show now feels like it belongs to a team of millennial writers who want to make it into millennial-style soft humor and soft storytelling, naively thinking that style will appeal to someone looking for something softer than Family Guy. But there are no humorous moments, and the show is not about a funny Homer entertaining us with his antics as it used to be or uttering messianic or ridiculous therapeutic phrases that do not align with his ethics or way of life, nor spontaneous humming or belching as in real life, no, now the show it's about millennial characters trying to understand how to fix their flaws in the millennial world they've been thrown into, and that's what the show has become in the Disney era, folks. The episodes are now terribly produced since the switch to Disney, the narrative structure is always vague and naive, and for the current production team, the show's fascinating past is just a rumor that doesn't really exist. The current production team thinks that The Simpsons are a tool for promoting feminist ideologies and other millennial values. If you fast-forward through each episode produced now, you'll realize that many of them are attempts at typical situational comedy stand-up jokes about people who can't adapt to the new times, rather than the powerful character-driven style of the show's popular era. Reminding us that the new times are the best makes the viewer feel bad about themselves. The first three seasons had a therapeutic value, while the recent ones have the opposite effect, destroying the self-esteem of fans and other viewers.
There's one future prediction that The Simpsons couldn't have made: their writers would become millennials in the future.
Now they are resorting a lot to telling feminist stories around the characters, and this episode is an example of that. It is also an example of how to damage a character who was a favorite of some fans, like Krusty the Clown, by fitting him into a millennial narrative style that doesn't fit with The Simpsons that we remember and would like to see. In this episode, he dances to an obnoxious and aggressive music of the current times, that is, they praise horrible music that in the future will be the music that was playing fifty years ago, right? Instead of promoting the recovery of beautiful works of art that are on the verge of extinction from the past for not having achieved fame. And aside from that, it is such a bad episode, within the abhorrent style that has destroyed the series and made it more infamous, that you end up disconnecting and not understanding what is happening.
