‘Simpsons’ followers livid at plot gap in character’s return after 33 years
How typically have you considered Jacques, the four-fingered Lothario tried to steal Marge’s coronary heart?
The French seducer was a memorable character within the season one episode “Life on the Quick Lane” and he’s simply made his comeback – 33 years since he final had a line on the long-running present.
Jacques was one the various one-off characters who’ve tried to detour both Homer or Marge away from their marriage vows, however the couple all the time discovered their approach again to at least one one other, spurning the advances of an outsider.
Within the 1990 episode, Jacques was a bowling teacher who turned besotted with Marge, who had taken up the game to spite Homer after his egocentric option to present her a bowling ball (together with his title engraved on it) on her birthday.
Resentful at her loutish husband, Marge is tempted by the attentions of somebody new – however in the end chooses Homer.
In “Pin Gal”, which aired over the weekend Jacques returns to teach Marge for a bowling event. And actor Albert Brooks even comes again to voice the character.
But it surely’s not his one-time unethical pursuit of a married girl that has followers miffed, it’s that there was a obvious plot gap in the midst of Jacques’ return.
Followers on social media identified that within the new episode, Homer has no thought of Marge and Jacques’ previous, which instantly clashes with a scene from the sixth season episode, “One other Simpsons Clip Present”.
In that scene, Homer and Marge are sharing with one another the small print of their many almost-cheating encounters, and it references the incident with Jacques.
So Homer positively is aware of.
After all, for those who actually dived into the continuity of The Simpsons, you’d should ask your self a bunch of different unanswerable questions, reminiscent of why not one of the characters have aged in 34 years or how will you match that many Halloweens into one college 12 months?
