@peteramaranth85 Yeah because Lisa because will go through this scenario over and over again until they all bleed in together. It's her life compilation called: "Lisa Simpson: Multiple Opportunities Missed."

[@dylankeggen6668]

And Lisa is a spoiled brat

[@timhinchcliffe5372]

That's a really sweet thing Lisa said at the end.

[@drunkydrunk2351]

Yeah;-; To be honest, Lisa only didn't want to "be like Marge" due to young love life or "distractions" in her studies, especially in college....

[@valentinamaiullari]

Actually if you watched the whole episode you'd know that after Lisa told Marge to stop working for her fancy school, Lisa hugged Marge and Lisa's face was disappointed that she was gonna turn out like her mom. But I think she's not gonna turn out like marge coz Lisa doesn't seem the type to get pregnant while being in uni and have to give up studies to became a full time housewife (that's what happened to Marge with homer)

[@Trainrot]

@@valentinamaiullari Yeah, it seems like a lot of Lisa haters forget she is 8 years old and doesn't understand there are nuances to the world and oceans of gray. Yes, she is super smart, but also. She is 8. Hell, at 37 I can say 37 year old me understands the nuances better than I did at 36 and WORLDS MORE than when I was 15, and dimensions more than when I was 8.

[@jep9092]

See this. This was a sweet epiaode. Lisa said something hurtful but takes it back after leaening her lesson. Matge shows she is capable of being a good mom. We need more episodes like this

[@AzariahMarinaStarcaster]

I know Lisa hides her disappointment after saying she'd be happy to turn out like Marge in that final scene, but I think it's less that she was lying and more that there were some mixed feelings. Like, she wants to be the most successful individual she can, but I think after seeing how truly living and selfless her mother is, I think part of her honestly kinda would be happy to be like her mother in those specific aspects.

[@DDarkestKnight]

The problem is she already has those of Marge in her and they're both miserable.

[@marionarda2790]

The literal scene after that is Lisa showing her disappointment

[@DDarkestKnight]

@@marionarda2790 She's _hiding_ it from _her mom_

[@drunkydrunk2351]

Yeah...Think about it, Lisa just didn't want to turn out like the people who thinks about marriage first. I mean, that would actually be a relief to the parents, instead of keeping them burdened up with their home and still providing their children as helpless adults.

Lisa shows a lot of narcissistic traits in a lot of moments. So no, she probably didn't. She thinks of herself first before anything else a lot of the time

[@jodiebolton744]

Blame the writers not the characters

[@DDarkestKnight]

That her parents' will lie to her to protect her? Of course she did, she's doing the same thing right now for her mom. No matter how much it hurts she'd rather protect Marge.

[@DDarkestKnight]

​@@FJYoko-nl7yq Nothing in this has anything to do with narcissism. It speaks to the opposite that she would believe in her parents lies that they can just do things and they'll work out.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

People have a bad habit of only seeing the worst in Lisa like she gave up her scholarship just because she doesn’t want to see her mom overworked just like she gave up her pony for the same thing. And it’s not like she doesn’t show appreciation for it either. She can be narcissistic at times but she’s not heartless.

[@Melody1689-hx9ei]

Marge reminds me of my mom when i was growing up... single mom working two jobs, going to school. And would sacrifice her getting anything so we could have what we asked for... it's that reason i loathe my sister for having the nerve to call my mom selfish...like "no, ur just a narcissistic sociopath" being a nom like thats can be such a thankless job

[@JuMiKu]

Hard take: Parents SHOULD do their best to make sure their kids get all the help that they need. Bart should get supplementary tutoring and Lisa should go to a better school. Marge should get a job. I really mean it. The Simpsons should have Marge finding a job and keep her in it. (Like Lisa stayed vegetarian.) It would be way more realistic and there'd be an interesting dynamic, if ́Marge actually had a career. You could cuxtapose her working hard with Homer's laziness. Harder take: It should not cost you much if anything to do so. Because a better educated kid is more likely to contribute more to society.

[@harmhoeks5996]

Perhaps. At least the public school prepares one for the real world? Life is a marathon not a sprint.

[@JuMiKu]

@harmhoeks5996 It doesn't though. Rich kids have a way higher chance to achieve higher degrees than kids from lower income families and have a way higher chance to achieve better careers due to that and further support. Life is in fact a sprint, especially for lower income kids. It's a sad fact. If you don't support your kid in their learning years, they are unlikely achieve much later. I'm not saying that keeping them in isolation for the sole purpose of studying is correct either. Kids should play. A lot! But realistically, Lisa would have turned into a bigger terror than Bart (highly intelligent kids will find ways to elleviate their own boredom and frustration, if left in normal classes). Bart would end up falling behind further and further, likely ending up as one of the many functionally illiterate people in the US. He would not suddenly be able to turn his life around and study law. The notion that the horrible conditions in public school prepare you for life is propaganda meant to keep criticism quiet. It's much cheaper than actually fixing the broken system that doesn't support the weak and doesn't let the strong flourish either.

[@Polyjamorous-mothmaam]

​@@JuMiKu finally, someone thought of the children.

[@Solid-Lion_Official]

Marge having a job would be realistic based on today's standards, not back when it started. The Simpsons is more so a relic of the past that's just continued.

[@JuMiKu]

@Solid-Lion_Official I know. I grew up in the 90s when it was pretty unusual for moms to be working. Not unheard of, but not definitely not the norm. However, the Simpsons takes place in the present and tackles modern issues now. They should update their family unit.

[@svm5837]

i feel like old lisa would rage against the system

[@Giuliana-n6q]

In the beginning, Lisa sounds like she's flirting with the bus 😂

[@jolynejamms6262]

That's actually a pretty good deal for Lisa. Marge does endless labor, which she already does. Lisa gets a magnificent education and piggybacks into an wonderful middle school and eventually League.

[@Kelcaroo]

A struggling mom that stressed. Oh yes, adding more struggles, stress, and sleepless nights won't make a difference at all. Just because she already does that doesn't mean it won't take a much harder toll on her when adding more to her plate. It's a mother's job to do whatever she can for her children, but if she runs herself in the dirt for it, she may not be able to keep up for long.

[@chengliu872]

I'm glad that Marge and the principal didn't have to come to some other arrangement 😏.

[@samuraiforever9120]

id like to see them do an episode private schools expecting parents to pay their taxes to fund them. lisa who supports higher learning attempts to slide in under this policy discovers the horrors that most homes are condemn due to the taxe .

[@JuMiKu]

I think you need to visit some kind of school before trying to voice that thought.

[@MrSophire]

School choice actually makes sense. Since Lisa ( when written well) does want to learn. Having her parents taxes go to the school of her choice would improve her life greatly.

Lisa is a hidden narcissist. The way she talks down to everyone but yet trying to be sweet at the same time. Yes, she saw Marge do the laundry for the academy but then she sacrifices her quest for knowledge and lies to her mom about wanting to end up like her, you can hear the disappointment and then see it in her face that she really dont wanna sacrifice her happiness for her mom but she ends up doing it anyway. Its been proven in episodes that she would rather not end up like her mom.

[@Doreai]

Lisa is in no danger of ever turning out like Marge, the reason being is because she will never grow up into adulthood which is a requirement. 30+ seasons and she's still a young girl, so yeah. I don't count the so called 'future episodes' like Bart becoming Chief Justice or Lisa becoming President or whatever, because those are all 'What if' scenarios. Realistically (and most canonically), she will always remain an adolescent alongside her siblings.

[@ads3047]

Honestly most Lisa EPs are, Lisa wants to go or get something, family can't afford so have to work or do something embarrassing/hard for it, she finds out and get them to stop. Is that the only setup they can do with her?
