Are they actually gonna have Julie Kavner blasting her dying Marge voice in IMAX surround sound audio?
Yes
>>150751622I think the new movie might be the jumping off point for a new voice cast. I really can't imagine them running with poor Julie for an actual theatrical release, and doing a second film is just a fucking bad idea in general. There has to be a reason they're making a second Simpsons movie 18 years after the fact.
lol contrary to memery there's nothing actually wrong with Julie, she just can't be bothered to actually do the Marge voice properly anymore. she sounds like crud because that's just her normal speaking voice.
>>150752128They're doing a second Simpsons movie because Disney and Marvel are trying to hold off on releasing Marvel movies till they figure out the direction and need something to fill in the vacant spot that was originally intended for a Marvel project
>>150751622She's in a movie right now 2025
>>150751622>Damned if they keep the old VA's, people who haven't seen any new episodes will become immediately exposed to how distractingly old most of the characters sound now to the point it will be the only shit anyone talks about>Damned if they replace the old VA's just for the movie, people will bitch worse than when they dropped Charles Martinet as the voice of Mario for months on end because all the VA's have stronger ties with hollywood Movie 2 is going to be the peak of controversy with the VA's no matter which path they take. The shitshow may be more entertaining than the movie itself.
>>150752326That seems reasonable.
>>150752326why is the simpsons of all things considered a safe bet when its been losing ratings and viewers for ages.
>>150752376Where she's not doing the Marge voice. Which is the point. Retard.
>>150752172There are some episodes where she can still do the voice when she's able to work up the motivation.
>>150752786Japanese Simpsons fans got to experience VA recasting drama for their movie dub. Backlash was so great it got redubbed for home video with the standard cast.Now imagine if that happens with the burger sequel kek.
>>150752841>Losing ratingsSimpsons has had a steady set of views on streaming and with international audiences. Even when it was just on TV, it wasn't on cable so the ratings there didn't actually bring in revenue. It was always the merch, and Simpsons has never stopped being a merch machine.
>>150753190I don't see that much Simpsons merchandise these days, I think I see more rick and morty stuff.
>>150753190who is buying merch from a show that has been lame and unfunny for almost 25 years?
>>150752841One of the retarded execs probably thought they'd just do another "Bender's Big Score" or whatever the other "long-episodes-as-movies" until someone reminded them they didn't own Futurama anymore.
>>150752172Yeah all of the VAs can't be bothered anymore and they just use their normal speaking voices.
>>150752841Because there's been a recent trend of "Simpsons is good again!" that came about after Matt Selman took over and they're trying to cash in on that.
>>150753315>Because there's been a recent trend of "Simpsons is good again!" amongst who? for what reason would someone spread such lies. must be the same people who pretend spongebob is "good" again.
>>150753343There definitely have been people saying it, my personal take is that it is better than it was but is still much worse than it was at it's height.
>>150753315Selman did some good things like curbing much of Al Jean's retarded faggotry.
>>150753397>There definitely have been people saying itdozens of them i'm sure.
>>150752786the mistake was disney resigning them to a new contract after the fox one they inherited expired. they had a perfect rationale to start fresh, new company, aging actors, harry shearer is literally too old to even attempt the voice. >harry can't do it anymore guys and we've decided it wouldn't be right to split you up, happy trails.
>>150753573>harry shearer is literally too old to even attempt the voiceHe gets a $4 million a year income for about one hour of work a year, you think he's gonna give that up?
>>150753472eg. the stupid MilhousexLisa ship
>>150753607they've had to drastically cut down his lines compared to hank haven't they? basically retire most of his characters outside of the most essential appearances, but no I didn't mean he voluntarily retired.
>>150753749In fact Al Jean stopped giving Harry a lot of lines years ago when he became a spiteful cunt who refused to come into the studio and insisted on recording from home, that's been the case since like 2003.
>>150751622Can we have enough about Marge's voice in recent years, when they can easily use voice editing equipment (which it looks like some of you never realise/think about) to make it sound how she used to sound like.
>>150753831or use AI?
>>150751622>they're actually making a second Simpsons movie why
They're actually using as the last hurrah of the cold cast before recasting. Source: me
>>150753970just cancel it. or age up bart and lisa and kill off marge or something. anything but the same fucking shit forever and ever and ever like some horrible never-ending punishment for the characters.
>>15075162250% of the production budget will be spent on AI to fix her voice.
>>150754042Oh no we're not doing your stupid aged up bullshit featuring Maggie and Selma's kid, you motherfucker. Fuck you for bringing up the idea up.
>>150754227anything is better than zombie simpsons forever. including cancellation.
>>150753862Still think they would use traditional or digital Voice editing equipment because unlike the Internet, there is absolutely no way mainstream media producers use something like Uberduck or 15. Ai for voices.
Are they going to bring back the original writers for this movie? They did just that with the first movie, which ended up being mediocre.
>>150754227>Oh no we're not doing your stupid aged up bullshit featuring Maggie and Selma's kid, you motherfucker?
>>150753915>whyY'know when I was 12-13, I asked why they didn't make a second movie.
>>150754330an guy who made a poorly drawn fan comic starring an aged up Maggie and Selma's Chinese kid and Maggie was usually naked in it
>>150754330
>>150752841Because it probably costs less to make a season of Current Simpsons than the cost of three underperforming Marvel movies in a year
>>150753970I have doubts they can pull it off
>>150752326Fuck man, i can't wait for Doomsday! Shit is gonna be so ass, it will be beautiful >Thor, Antman, and a army of poorly connected flops>Black Panther without Black Panther>the dying geritric cast of the 2000 x-men>Iron Man wanking taking a level never before surpassed >Only character people seemed to give a fraction of crap for is U.S. Agent, who was accidentally given depth when the original writens instead wanted a message
marge get ipad
>>150756442As a lifelong capeshit fag I long for the genre's merciful end on the big screen. Post 2018 everything got 100× worse in every conceivable sense, and retards continue to gobble up all the dogshit served to them. It shouldnt be this way bros.
>>150754329I don't think they'll be able to cajole Swartzwelder or George Meyer back but I expect most of the other writers from the first movie will also be working on this (Groening & Brooks, Jean & Reiss, Mirkin and Selman all still have producer/executive producer credits on the show as of this season)
>>150751622The way I see it this movie has three options>The events of this film soft reboot the canon, recast everyone, and keeps the IP shambling along for another 20 years>Re-establishes the series in contemporary times and future seasons either take place in the past or fixate on the window of time between the existing seasons and the movieAnd the most likely option...>Bartmania the movie. 1000% nostalgiaberries. Basically the Simpsons equivalent of the 2018 Scooby Doo movie or last year's garfield film. Rehashes all the memorable plots and characters into one overstuffed recap/reboot/regurgitation that satisfies nobody but still makes a mint because people are sheep
>>150752857>she's not doing the Marge voiceShe's not? Sounded a lot like it...
>>150752857>t. Didn’t watch the movieIt sounds exactly the same retard https://youtu.be/vnMNneBx8sQ?si=Oe2xBDLaz11Q3TgR
>>150756985I don't.I want Disney to keep making them and I want them to keep bombing to soothe my petty desires.
>>150751622Julie Kavner will retire. The rest of the cast will retire with her. The movie will be a "finale" to the Simpsons and that'll be its big selling point. The Simpsons will take a year off and relaunch with a new cast and probably some tweaks to the formula.
>>150751622Marjorie is such a cutie pie!
>>150756442>Only character people seemed to give a fraction of crap for is U.S. Agent, who was accidentally given depth when the original writens instead wanted a messageThat's just funny.
>>150757027A soft reboot wouldn't be enoughWith Simpsons you either do a full hard-reboot or you add an element that permanently alters the story dynamic
>>150752947The polar opposite actually, I've heard her voice sounds much better in the most recent episodes because they changed the vocal direction, telling her to try less hard and put less of a strain on it>>150752984Japs tend to go much harder on media related backlash. They literally caused property damage and graffiti'd the subway when they didn't like the end to Evangelion
>>150758733KWAB
>>150758612wife material fr
>>150758733>The polar opposite actually, I've heard her voice sounds much better in the most recent episodes because they changed the vocal direction, telling her to try less hard and put less of a strain on itI thought it was because she's more motivated since Matt Selman gave her more stuff to do and genuinely seems to like Marge episodes.
>>150758733if you watch Seasons 1-4 Marge sounded pretty soft, she started doing a different harder sounding delivery in Season 5
>>150754227what are you talking about, schizo?
>>150753790jokes on him, everyone works from home now
I somehow think that the film will end with a timeskip to Bart and Lisa being adults and having their own families, which is what future seasons of the show will be about.This is a retarded idea, since Nancy and Yeardley aren't getting any younger either, but it's probably what they'll do anyway.
>>150753790He also said he didn't even read scripts anymore, only his own characters' dialog.
>>150759963bart get thick latina wife. lisa get lesbian death bed.
>>150760170Lisa deserves to get Milhouse.
