What The Simpsons 2007 Movie Got Wrong — And Why It Still Blows Heads! When The Simpsons Movie hit theaters in 2007, fans were ecstatic — finally, the gang had their own feature-length adventure! Dark fun, sharp satire, and a heartfelt nod to the show’s absurdist humor promised a blockbuster. But while the film became a cult favorite in many ways, it also got a few striking things wrong — and those missteps still puzzle and amuse audiences decades later. ### 1. Homer’s Heroics: The Bullseye Bullies Never Decensquenticized One of the most glaring plot lapses? The film’s portrayal of Homer’s impulsive heroics. In the movie, Homer single-handedly defuses a high-stakes bull cave attack that threatens the town — a moment packed with Hollywood lazy CGI and over-the-top muscle. But in reality, The Simpsons has consistently poked fun at Homer’s clueless bravado (not “The Strongest Man in Springfield”). The movie ignored this legacy entirely, turning a fan-favorite quirk into a moment of heroism that felt uncharacteristically on-brand — which, ironically, undermines the integrity of a show built on satire.
