Does Mr. Burns actually work in The Simpsons S35?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While Mr. Burns was originally intended to be an exaggerated embodiment of corporate malfeasance, he is a helpful team player in The Simpsons season 35, not a villain. The creators of The Simpsons proudly boast that the show has a so-called “Elastic canon.” This means that anything from a character’s birthdate to their death can be retconned without warning to facilitate a gag or storyline.
The problem with The Simpsons constantly changing its canon is that this can result in inconsistent characterization. This isn’t really an issue in the show’s more ambitious, off-the-wall outings, like The Simpsons’ annual Treehouse of Horror Halloween specials. However, when the series relies on one of its well-established supporting characters in a subplot, it can be bizarre and surprising to discover these characters have changed their personalities seemingly overnight.
In the opening scenes of “Homer’s Crossing,” Mr. Burns literally rolls up his sleeves and helps Homer’s colleagues manage a potential crisis. This is a huge departure from his classic characterization, that of an aloof and uncaring millionaire who treats his employees like rodents and hoards his profits for himself. In the Golden Age seasons of The Simpsons, Mr. Burns delighted in torturing his workers physically and psychologically, often for no reason.
The Simpsons Has Forgotten Mr. Burns’ Role While The Simpsons season 35 revisiting classic plots like season 6’s two-part finale “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” would be risky, it is even riskier for the show to rewrite one of its best villains completely. Mr. Burns works as a comically extreme portrait of corporate greed who allows The Simpsons to satirize the crimes of his class without relying on spoofing real-life figures.
