Two predictions from ‘The Simpsons’ came true this week: ‘Barbie’ and the arrest of ‘Donald Trump’

The series ‘The Simpsons’ (Star Plus) has gained great fame for its ability to predict real life events, the explanation behind this ability seems to lie in the nature of the show, which combines satire and comedy with elements of popular culture and politics. Two of his apparent predictions would have come true this week, according to a theory spread on social media, about the arrest of the former US president and the release of the live action film of Mattel’s best-selling doll.

According to this theory, ‘The Simpsons’ predicted the movie ‘Barbie’ which, this week, released its trailer and first official posters. But how did it happen? In episode 14 of the fifth season, called “Lisa vs. the Malibu Baby”broadcast in 1994, it features a storyline in which Lisa Simpson tries to convince the makers of the Baby Malibu doll to present girls with a toy that is less sexist and with a feminist message.

While, in the chapter, Kent Brockman announces on his newscast that the president has been arrested for murder, but gives no further details. Despite the circumstances of the arrest of donald trump are different, given that he is no longer president and the accusations are different, social network users have underlined the parallels between the episode and the events of real life.

Also, coincidentally, the trailer for the new Barbie movie also came out in the same week Trump’s arrest took place, shining a spotlight on the episode’s prediction. The famous television series ‘LThe Simpsons’ surprised yet with other predictions correct.

The same episode of “The Simpsons” foretold other supposed events

Social network users have raised this new theory, suggesting that the animated series involves the announcement of the new ‘Barbie’ movie and also political issues related to Donald Trump. The episode mentions the arrest of the president for murder, reminiscent of Trump’s current situation.

The chapter also addresses how some news stories get more attention than others, which is reflected in the plot of the film “Don’t Look Up,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio.

By presenting exaggerated and caricatured situations, the series often manages to reflect social and political trends and issues relevant to society at large. Also, ‘The Simpsons’ has been on the air for more than 30 years which means that it has covered a wide range of historical topics and events, so there is a greater chance that one of its storylines is related to some future event. .

However, it’s important to note that not all “predictions” attributed to the series are accurate or intentional. Many times, the supposed parallels are simply coincidental coincidences or are misinterpreted.
