Help[Opinions] Re: Homer
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
Homer is very strongly associated with Homer Simpson.
Here's the thing: The Simpsons is the longest-running animated series of all time*. It is one of the longest running TV shows of all time. IT has won dozens of awards (over 50 probably over 60). On top of this, it is the forefather of modern-day adult animated shows. Name a cartoon that isn't somehow associated with The Simpsons, I dare you.
The future generations are going to know him for a very, very, very long time.
*It is the longest-running in the west. There's an anime that is older and outside of anime fans, it isn't known in the west. Also we are not talking about cartoons that have been revived over and over again like Scooby Doo, we are talking about one, long, ongoing, never-ending series.
If people care about names deeply associated with characters (eg Barbie) then yes, especially Homer with his strong and often negative personality. He's a lazy slob and he often strangles his son and thinks only for himself. I know he's got a good side and he's often shown working hard for his family, but this is the image people will see.
As for my own opinion: its very dated but I kinda like it. Ish. This is a recent thing and I've not outright watched The Simpsons in years - I prefer Futurama. Perhaps its the newer seasons that just don't do anything for me or perhaps I've grown tired of them idk. I don't dislike The Simpsons, however. In fact, "I just think they're neat".
Unlike... other adult-orientated animated series.
