Talk:Dead Bart/@comment-24835069-20140424123730

This is my 2nd creepypasta rating. A 2-parter, story and video. For the story, this I can imagine as a real episode, except that of course if it actually aired it would prolly either 1. Turn out to be "just a dream" or somesuch, so Bart wouldn't really be dead and the series could continue as normal, or 2. Be an especially dark series finale. This really didn't scare me (the dates of the actors' deaths on the tombstone is the creepiest part), just seems sad. I give it 5/10. There are a few logic problems/unanswered questions here. Some I won't pick at cause, hey, it's The Simpsons, how much logic can you expect? But some things bug me. 1. Why would Matt Groening kill off the show's most popular character? Was this originally intended to be the last episode? If not, how did he plan to continue the series without Bart? 2. Why was he so upset about it? And why all the secrecy? Yes, it's sad that Bart died, but it's not unheard of for this sort of misfortune to befall a cartoon character, it just isn't usually the star who dies. There was nothing exceptionally shocking or disturbing about the actual "lost episode" itself. 3. Why did Matt give the website to this story's author, if it is such a closely guarded secret? And why was the lost episode even ON a website (even with the protection of a virus boobytrap), if it is such a closely guarded secret? Best I can figure, the real secret to the whole thing lies in the final "actors' death dates on the tombstones" scene. Apparently Matt has some kind of gift for knowing when people are going to die (or at least, when Simpsons guest stars are). And apparently many of them are due to depart on the same day. Did Matt forsee some horrific accident/attack/natural disaster (like a fire or a bombing) occuring at the site of a Simpsons actors reunion, perhaps? And felt compelled to save them by ending The Simpsons early on in the most drasticlly final way possible (with a cryptic explanation why in the final scene)? But then why did he ultimately not air this episode and instead continue the series? Answers lead only to more questions with this pasta. As for the video, it's just lame. 2/10 It's obviously just bits of normal Simpsons eps awkwardly spliced together and garbled. Would've only given it 1/10 were it not for the shot of Bart's "photo-realistic body" around the 2:08 mark. Looks like someone laid their Bart Simpson doll on the ground and took a photo, but it's mildly creepy in context, so a point for effort.
