Our long national nightmare is nearly over: “The Simpsons” episodes will soon be available in their original 4:3 aspect ratio on Disney+.
“The even more important most important tweet I can make! As always you have been heard! @theSimpsons episodes will be available in their original 4:3 aspect ratio on #DisneyPlus beginning 5/28,” series showrunner Al Jean said on Twitter in a cheeky reply to a tweet he posted five years ago.
Disney+ has been an enormous success for Disney, but the service drew the ire of “Simpsons” fans due to the show only being available in the widescreen 16:9 format used by most modern televisions. Though the 16:9 format meant that “The Simpsons” wouldn’t stream with unsightly black bars on the edges of the screen, it caused a multitude of issues for longtime fans who took issue with the distorted images.

“The Simpsons” was one of Disney’s myriad series to hit Disney+ when the service launched last year, which means it is long past time for some sweet, sweet corporate cross-promotion — Avengers style.
Variety reported that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, who has produced all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, will make his acting debut in Sunday’s “Bart the Bad Guy” as “Chinnos,” who bears a blink-and-you-miss-it resemblance to a certain character that Josh Brolin recently portrayed in several other Disney-owned projects.
Feige’s distinctly Thanos-esque character — deformed chin and shiny armor included — isn’t the only Marvel cameo in the upcoming “The Simpsons” episode: Other guest stars will include “Avengers: Endgame” directors Anthony and Joe Russo, Cobie Smulders (who portrays Mariah Hill in the McU). Taran Killam and Youtuber Tal Fishman will also guest star.

Ever since it was first revealed that Skrulls would be brought into the McU by way of this year’s Captain Marvel, the shape-shifting aliens have become a regular fixture in online fan theories. At this point, there’s hardly a character in the Marvel franchise who hasn’t been accused in one fan forum or another of being a secret Skrull, and in the recent Spider-Man: Far From Home, this mass paranoia was only encouraged when it was revealed that Nick Fury wasn’t actually Nick Fury after all.
But while Far From Home’s post-credits scene left no room for doubt that Fury had been a Skrull for the whole movie, it also raised the question of exactly when this sneaky switcheroo took place. And in a new Reddit theory that’s currently making the rounds, user Jacob_wallace suggests an answer.
