Prediction of the war between Russia and Ukraine?
In February of this year, shortly after the war between Russia and Ukraine took over the news, Al Jean commented on the fact that, according to theories, The Simpsons would have predicted the conflict. At the time, the producer stated that, unfortunately, the alleged divination was closer to a political standard.
It turns out that, as soon as the war between the two countries emerged, netizens remembered the episode ‘On the Wave of the Sea‘, released in March 1998. Part of Season 9 of The Simpsonsthe chapter portrays the moment when Russia reveals that the Soviet Union never ended, rebuilding the Berlin Wall and bringing Lenin back to life, straight from his glass coffin, according to the NME.
Second Al Jean, however, the scenes in the episode are much more based on reality than on a prediction. “In terms of predictions, there are two types: The trivial ones, like Don Mattingly getting in trouble because of her hair in’Homer At The Bat🇧🇷 And then there are predictions like this,” he said.
“I hate to say it, but I was born in 1961, so 30 years of my life were spent with the specter of the Soviet Union,” he explained, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in the beginning of the year. “So for me, unfortunately, this is more the norm than a prediction. We thought things were going to get bad.”
