18th and final episode of the 36th season of Simpsons under the name Estranger Things (can be translated as “detached affairs”, a reference to the name of Seril ”Very strange things") I went out On the air on May 18, 2025. According to the plot, Bart and Lisa Simpson cease to look at their favorite animated series “Tickling and scratching”, after which the brother and sister move away from each other. Noticing this, Marge begs his children to never stop communicating. However, having matured, Lisa and Bart violated her promise and almost never contact. At the same time, it was shown that at some point Marge really died: her funeral was demonstrated on the screen. Further, events unfold in an even more distant future - after 35 years. At the end of the episode, the mother watches the children from heaven.
Mistakes in most publications about the death of Marge clearly indicate that their authors did not watch the series and only retranilize other people's incorrect retelling. For example, c note The Ren -TV TV channel was called the “very strange things” and said that there are scenes that only “hint” at the death of Marge. In addition, the heroine died in the issue for an unknown reason, and not because of a rare genetic disease, as Approved Many authors. And Lisa found not a letter from her mother, but a disk with a video that she made in case Homer died before. In his own handling Marge did not ask the children to take care of his father, but expressed the hope that her brother and sister live shoulder to shoulder.
Although Simpsons have been going on for more than 35 years and have 790 episodes, the characters in the show practically Do not change. Nevertheless, for the entire time of the existence of the series, some of them They died. Some of them remain dead to this day (for example, Mod Flanders, Murphy bloody gums And Mona Simpson), but there were cases when the heroes returned to life without any explanation (for example, as fans calculated, Hans Molman He died more than 40 times). The main characters are not insured from death - they regularly died in special Hallowean issues or in episodes, where the action partially unfolds in the future.
For example, at the end of the series Barting Over, published in 2003, the world is shown 50 years after the main events of the series and the viewer sees the grave of Homer. In the end of the episode The Boys of Bummer (2007) showed ghosts Marge and Homer, after 60 years watching the aged Bart from the sky. And in the release Days of Future Future (2014) Homer dies after an accident, then clones occupy his place alternately, and after 30 years the hero becomes a robot.
IN finale The 29th season, published in 2018, Bart after a lightning strike flows into a com, and when he leaves it, he claims that he now knows how his relatives will die in the future. Next, cutting scenes is demonstrated, from which it becomes known that at the age of 59, the police shot the police, Marge married Neda Flanders and died at 84, Bart and Lisa died at 80 and 98, respectively. At the same time, Maggie Simpson, apparently, became an immortal cosmic essence.
June 26, 2025 Variety Published Showranner’s commentary “Simpsons” Matt Selman, who assured: Marge is still alive and will be in the animated series for many more years. “It is obvious that since all the episodes of the Simpsons about the future are only speculative fantasies, they will be different every time,” said Selman. - Marge, probably, will never die. The only place where Marge is dead is one of the series about the future that was released six weeks ago. "
Variety has also recalled that in recent years the scriptwriters of the Simpsons have abandoned the structure of the classic sitcom and flirted with a complex, nonlinear narrative many times. For example, first The episode of the same 36th season “pretended” the final of the entire animated series (although in April 2025 the show extended For another four seasons). Therefore, regular viewers had to get used to such leaps in time, but for everyone else the death of Marge in one of the episodes became the news that many media and bloggers at the same time pulled out of context. “Here is my version: web sites need traffic, and the headlines are essentially traffic,” Selman shared. - And then at the very end of the article you can explain that the title mislead you. All the media that published this story knew that Marge in no case died. They knew all this, but still published such headlines. ” On the other hand, Showranner sees pluses in this: such interest proves that the “Simpsons” remain an important part of pop culture. “I think this suggests that people are not indifferent to Marge. Ultimately, this probably benefits the business, even when these ridiculous, misleading history become viral! ” - summed up Selman.
In addition, back in May, the next day after the episode release, the Cracked site Published Interview with the author of the script of that series Tim Long. He noted that Estranger Things has become the final episode "largely by chance." At the same time, according to Long, in the series a leap in time was conceived from the very beginning, and the idea to transfer the story to the future for 35 years belongs to Selman. That is, if this episode was released in the middle of the season, then in the next Marge would return to the screens.
Thus, although in the latter at the moment the episode of the Simpsons, Marge really died, this scene took place in only one of the options for the future, and a similar event in the animated series does not happen for the first time. According to Showranner Simpsons, the heroine will return in new series.
