Fans of The Simpsons were left stunned after the Simpsons Finale featured a major twist the death of one of its most beloved characters, Marge Simpson.
The plot of the episode reveals the fate of their mother, Marge, while tracking the development of the relationship between siblings Bart and Lisa Simpson.
As the episode goes on, a notable 35-year time jump reveals Lisa discussing her “late mother,” suggesting Marge passed away earlier than anticipated, most likely before she reached her early 70s.
Although the cause and circumstances of Marge’s death are not made clear, the episode suggests that she dies at some point in the future.
Homer Simpson is shown acclimating to life without his wife as the story progresses.
After Lisa complains about his living conditions, he is transferred to a Florida senior living facility.
When Lisa reads a letter from Marge advising her and Bart to keep their relationship close, the episode’s emotional impact increases.
In a moving scene, Marge bids the family a bittersweet farewell while watching over them from a cloud.
Many fans expressed their shock and bewilderment over Marge’s unexpected death on social media. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KILLED MARGE SIMPSON?” one fan wrote on X, while another yelled, “WHAT THE F**K THEY KILLED MARGE SIMPSON!?”
This unexpected development follows another big shift for the show. Milhouse Van Houten’s voice actor of more than 35 years, Pamela Hayden, recently announced her retirement. The lead singer of the band Private Life, Kelly Macleod, will now voice Hayden’s character, who is known for his nerdy antics and crush on Lisa.
