Well, let's skip all that boring talk about "respect" and "opinions" (after all those words reek so much of books, school, and brain: who needs those when we have an ego??) and let's get down to your so very interesting and articulated analysis about how
The last few seasons Lisa's character has been hollowed out into being a generic !LiberalActivist! role.
Hmm.. ok, that's the only thing you wrote about it. I don't even know that a !LiberalActivist! is, how could i be able to reply and argumentate over this if you,the thread starter, do not give me some material to work with? Oh wait, it might be such a matter-of-fact thing if all it took you to was just a sentence. So, nothing to discuss over here. You must surely be right!
Oh, by the way.. little off-topic: see that weird purpleish thing up here? It's a
proper quote! YEs i know, it might be confusing at first to understand how it works, but i'm sure that with a little effort you can surely get the hang of it.
Let's go on.
The rest of your opening post is about three particular scenes that you reprised in one of your last posts, after a lenghty struggle in which you demonstrated how great of a human being you are (you're not a sad LisaLover, you're a *real man* and you don't care for other's judgements!! Aw, i wish i could be like you!):
I dont like the scene with the cake because it is degrading to Lisa's character.
I dont like the unicorn book because it was over the top sappy and Lisa's acing was terrible in that scene.
I dont like Lisa in Clear Day because it was mean spirited and cruel. Lisa was a bully in that episode. A BULLY!
See, Dan? You're learning something!
(oh and look, another
proper quote! See, if an idiot LisaLover like me can do it, i'm sure an objective and open-minded person like you can do even better!):
"I don't like this - because -" is
GOOD! While "Anyone who likes this is an idiot" was
BAD.
I'm glad you're making all this effort and progress! Your motivations are still a bit too short and childish, but i'm sure this is a step in the right direction. You can do it Danny!
Since you spent oh so many words about these scenes (and in other threads, too!) instead of the main point of the thread, it means you give them a lot more importance, right? So let's get right to them.
1) Lisa and the Cake scene: Many have said this already, but you're contradicting yourself a bit.This scene shows *clearly* a bit of Simpsonic madness in Lisa: it's a flaw in her otherwise usual dull and square way to be. I personally liked that scene because it was a window on the simpson inside Lisa. If making her more of a Simpson and less of a perfect being is degrading to you, then i guess you're contradicting yourself (sorry for using such a complex word!).
Or maybe you just had some accidents relating cakes in your childhood? If so, i'm deeply sorry and i will try not to hit this key anymore.
2)The Unicorn book scene: Sappy? Hell yes it was!
Congratulations on your analysy capabilites! I wonder why you're not out writing books or something
Well, gushing aside... yeah, that situation was super sappy. Quite normal for a 8-year old girl, don't you think? I mean, have you ever read the things those girls write in their diaries? If not, i hope you'll never read Lisa's! You could be so shocked it might crush you... Again, this scene shows Lisa for what she is: a little 8 yer old girl, not a mature and angelic supergirl like you always think about her being... or you don't? I dunno, i'm stupid and i can't even remember anymore what is your point about Lisa: Is she too mature or too childish? D'oh, i probably can't reach the depths of your logical reasoning... Sorry for that!
Oh, and about the bad voice acting: Aren't we talking of Lisa or Yeardley? Are you aware that that is not Lisa's voice we hear? A bad day or a bad acting can happen sometimes, i dont think it's the case to bring down an entire character for that.
But maybe you love so much Lisa that you want just perfection for her. Besides, weren't we talking about writing? Writing is different than voice acting. I think! But if you say they're the same, they will be!
3)Lisa being a bully: You know, i think that's true. She was pretty mean to Bart in that episode. But i think that Bart deserved it, and when Lisa had a chance, she went a bit over the top in making him pay for all the things he did to her in the past. Again, imho Lisa is believable when acting like that. I can't say i would like her to be so mean all the time, but just once... again, for someone like you, that episode must have been a shock. Your perfect, sweet, kind, innocent Lisa turning into a bully? Aw... well, i can understand your pain.
So, anyway, we had great fun so far... Maybe you're asking yourself why you aren't already banned, Dan? Well, the reason is... you're too damn funny. It's great to see how you manage to make a complete ass of yourself in each post you make in here.
And learn to spell properly.
