Sheer, stomach-turning garbage
9 May 2023
Some years back (I'd guess this was in 2018) when Fox put up its entertainment division for sale, Comcast bid against Disney and ultimately lost, obviously. At the time I desperately hoped for Disney to win because I really wanted them to acquire the Fantastic Four so they could be introduced to the MCU. It never occurred to me then that Disney would also be acquiring 'The Simpsons'. I had long stopped watching the show so perhaps I just didn't care. Or my fandom of the MCU put blinders on me. Marvel Studios (a subsidiary of Disney) was putting out good stuff.

But that was coming to a close and pretty much ended after 2019. Marvel Studios has put out nothing worthwhile since (unless you count 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', which is more a Sony film than a Disney one). And the FF are still a ways away from entering the MCU so the characters won't have any interaction with most of the classic MCU characters. When the FF DO finally make their MCU debut Disney is sure to screw it up as they've done with practically every other property they've gotten their diseased mitts on.

That includes, of course, 'The Simpsons'. As I said, I hadn't watched the show for a dog's age so I was indifferent at best about Disney acquiring it. Now that I see sheer crap like 'Plusaversary' and 'The Good, the Bart and the Loki', boy do I regret ever hoping for Disney to acquire Fox Entertainment. As the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for" and, holy crackpipe, is that ever applicable here. I shudder to think what the show is like nowadays.

Disney was the worst thing to happen to Star Wars, have managed to ruin the MCU, and now they are the worst thing to happen to 'The Simpsons'.
