Fans found Lisa's praise of Disney ill-suited
"The Dark Knight" contains the following line: "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Lisa could've taken something to heart from that piece of dialogue.
Ever since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, "The Simpsons" have been under the Mouse House's thumb, and while that doesn't stop the show from poking fun at its new boss from time to time on the series, in other instances, it can lead to downright cringey moments. One of those beats in the latter category came with the Disney+ short, "Plusaversary." (https://youtu.be/3CgQAyF4ZKU) In the Disney+ exclusive, the residents of Springfield party with classic Disney characters, and at one point, Lisa enters the picture to sing the company's praises.
It's a little out of character for Lisa, who's usually skeptical of blindly following corporate overlords, but she has no problem with lyrics like "Streaming's a dream for Disney / All content in one place." "Simpsons" fans took notice and filled the comment section with words decrying Lisa's pro-corporation stance. One user wrote, "There's nothing as grim as Lisa Simpson, of all characters, praising a large corporation's streaming platform." Someone else wrote, "This is the most [soulless] Simpsons has been ever." Hopefully, in the coming seasons, "The Simpsons" gets some of its credibility back.
