I think the weirdest thing about Maya not returning is she isn't voiced by some big guest voice, she's voiced by a series regular. And as you mentioned, Kumiko reappeared a lot, and up until 2021, they shared a voice actress.

Exactly. It's Marvel's logic with Peter Parker; they think being married means you have less problems and unrelatable, which is bullcrap.

The dark explanation here is that Moe is a serial killer… and every time he meets a woman who says yes, she mysteriously disappears

I think they're missing the mark by not exploring depression a little further with Moe. Depression doesn't just go away when someone walks in to your life. A question many depressives ask themselves on a regular basis is "I have everything I want - why am I still unhappy?" It might be a bit heavy for the show, but I think an episode or even just a B plot acknowledging that Moe is wrestling with his feelings would help to add some much-needed depth to a condition that the show has played for laughs for so long.

Yea but Moe's depression has always been heavily influenced by the fact he is alone and lonely. I find some people are depressed about specific things, some people have a chemical imbalance which are the people who don't know why they feel depressed. Lastly there are people who have chemical imbalance and has things in life on top of that which depress them. That is just always how I have seen it. In fact when I used to go to the doctors they told me they were not for people like me because it takes to long and costs to much money. They are there for people who have specific problems which are making them depressed which the doctors are able to address and send them on there way quickly. He told me the system isn't made for people with more severe mental health problems. It is made for those which are the easiest to help so the numbers look good. They are only supposed to see someone for therapy for 8 to 12 weeks otherwise the person is considered to expensive and the money could be used in someone who can get better more quickly. It's really sad that the people worst off are least likely to get help in ontario at least

Honestly, the best solution can be saying Maya has to travel a lot for work so Moe is often on his own a lot. They are still together and very much in love they just have to balance their relationship around their work lives and Moe has to handle being away from his partner for long stretches. Not a perfect use since we do want her to evolve into her own character beyond Moe since we do need some good dwarf rep in media. This is just my idea on how to handle this thing.

@mechajay3358

Exactly! They could do that instead of pretending she doesn't exist at all. And just because Moe is married doesn't mean they can't make jokes about his other quirks.

If that new Maya episode splits her up with Moe again I will be so mad

I get the feeling they want to keep Maya for an event. Like they plan to make some episode about their wedding or something related. Something about Moe getting cold feet and wondering if he deserves a happy ending, or if he's so used to depression, he fears happiness. The only two things I can think of keeping the character away is either they show's stories are non-linear or that Maya lives far enough away that they don't see each other often. Come to think of it, Moe hasn't been bottom of the barrel depressed since that episode where they got engaged. Maybe they're just working things out with how Moe would be if he was happily married or at least in a relationship.

I miss Maya she was such a fresh breath of air she made me happy when i saw moe happy

Ever since they started the "Moe is depressed and gross" shtick since i was a teen 20 years ago, I've never liked it. To me, it's boring, un-funny and over-done. It would be so much interesting adding a feminine touch to Moe's bar and seeing how she adapts to the place and how she changes it in her own personal way. It'd be super interesting seeing a permanent addition of a little person into the Simpsons too and how they live in the world on a daily basis and the personal challenges they face. That status quo is becoming an absolute curse to the show. I didn't realise how much Maya being shelved bothered me until you brought it up. And I hope they bring her back.

I mean when Ned and Edna and Comic Book Guy from married that was an huge shift in the show for these characters they were now married with wives. Yet nothing yet came from Moe proposing to Maya yet. Are they holding off on it? Or did they simply just forget?

Surprisingly wholesome episodes for Moe and Maya, with a cool new character, and good character progression. So sad they just ignored it

13:09 Yes, Moe was fantasizing about Marge, but a few seconds into the fantasy it changed by Marge saying “Moe I love… the way you introduced me to this new guy” (or something like that). This really shows how Moe has changed even if Maya hasn’t actually shown up in a while.

They can keep the dynamic they have with Moe while keeping Maya around. She can cheer him up when he gets upset. They could also have fun together every now and then. She can still be the only person in town who likes him.

They so need to bring Maya back, she really was best thing that ever happened to Moe and he deserves some happiness in his life after all this time.

great video, loved the burns screensaver very nostalgic

I have been waiting for this

Maybe its hard to think of what to do with Maya's character herself, because he exists as more of a plot device, and to be taken seriously as a little person and doesn't have a silly quirk about her to play off of. I think they need to expand Maya and give her something to write comedy off of outside of Moe and unrelated to her being a little person.

Awesome as always thanks ❤ i hope they bring her back

BABE WAKE UP THE SIMPSONS THEORY POSTED 📢📢📢📢

The reason nobody much remembers what Belle's husband looked like is that the audience fell in love with the Beast.

I'm so happy they are bringing Maya back. This will probably make or break the relationship and we'll finally have closure. Like a lot of us, I hope she stays. For one, it'd be easier to put her in episodes since Tress MacNeille is a regular cast member compared to a guest star of the week. And Lydia, the way you described Moe being perpetually miserable made me think of what Marvel has done to Peter Parker in the comics since 2007. In both cases, they deserve a happy ending.

I really liked Mia, it was really the first time you saw Moe truly happy. And they did work as a couple, that first episode always made me a little sad because they didn't work out. Especially the ending conversation with Homer the realization that Moe had found someone that loved him, Was both heartwarming and Sad. I hope Mia comes back and her and Moe can get married and live happily ever after. Moe deserves a happy ending.

The episode was actually a dream Moe had while writing one of his letters

As someone who has related to Moe more and more as I get older and have trouble finding my happy ever after I hope Maya stays. I really hope the two stay together for the rest of the show and be happy.

Its really cool to watch these videos about characters disappearing withought being brought up again

Why not put a fishbowl on the desk with Blinky in it

Love the vid and set up and god I want moe to be happy he’s close to my heart as he said “not today my friend but the holidays are coming soon”

I think the simplest explanation is that maybe the writers were kinda iffy bringing her back since she kinda looks like a kid and having her be around Moe would make things look very awkward, maybe she'll get a redesign for her next appearance to make her look more adult

@sws212

Ай бұрын

Manjula is part of the Apu removal since she has very few interactions without Apu and would just be a reminder of him missing.

I think keeping Maya around would be a massive boost to Moe's confidence. Plus, he'll have someone else to confide in when he's feeling depressed. Maya doesn't strike me as the kind of person who'd dump him over a mental health issue, so long as he's willing to heed her words and look for a therapist to help him cope with it. It won't fix his mental state of mind, since a lot of depressives struggle with those emotions their entire lives. But he'll definitely be able to smile more and think about killing himself less.

Finally, Maya will return!

Im glad Moe got Maya. I been happy for him this time and when Maggie got close to him. That one brought tears to my eyes.

I always thought it was something similar to what happened to Apu. they did away with the character to avoid controversy, even if the the group the character represented wasn't necessarily portrayed in a negative way, but oh boy, thank goodness I watched the video until the end and saw there're actually plans to have Maya back

I can't believe this episode was SO good that Moe was nominated for an Oscar. Nice one.

My theory: maya is not real. It’s a figment of moe’s imagination/mirage/hallucination, because 1 he owns a bar so he gets them beer fumes inside him, 2 he’s been so lonely that he is going crazy, and 3 maya was moe’s imaginary friend because he’s just lonely and god said he needed a girlfriend. So i can conclude, maya was never real and even if the other characters saw her in the bar, they were probably customers who already drank and saw her through drunkness

They don’t want her for two reasons. 1. They want Moe to have the trope of being the pathetic, borderline psychotic loser who can’t ever win. That’s the joke. 2. They don’t want to add another permanent character to the show. Aside from the legal headache of contracts, they don’t want a character that they can’t just push into the background like they can for Comicbook guy. Moe is a major, secondary character and they would have to write her into much more of Moe’s story then they want too. Same reason they had to practically write out Abu’s wife and and family, despite still being a primary aspect of his story

06:58 OMG that bartender joke caught me off guard!

you know how to make it perfect? if moe and maya became maggie's godparents

Also what if they made maya good at making cocktails thus adding variety to modes tavern

I'm glad to hear that news about Maya! Hopefully, she will stick around after. Edit: and hopefully they can use the fact she had gotten her PhD in their engagement episode to explain her absence

When moe and Maya get together, I actually shed a tear it made me happy for our favorite bar tender

@11:56, you mean a PROPER parental figure. In the Season 16 episode "Sleeping with the Enemy", Moe tries to insert himself into Nelson's family by proclaiming the "Four Muntzes" are reunited after dating Nelson's mum for a short while (the scene also had Nelson's dad in it)

Maya and Ling back!

MAYA NEEDS MORE SCREEN TIME!

Yes, I have noticed that in the last 2 or 3 episodes Moe stated that he has no one & is sad and lonely. 😕

I loved her character! Super excited to hear she is coming back 🙂

Love the end of the Maya episode very uplifting

"O Frajulous Day! Callou Callah!" Mr. Burns exclaimed this when he found True love on Flag day. One of the writers must really like Lewis Carroll's The Jabberwocky For me, the mail order bride epsidoe and Moes relationship trauma was heart breaking. Personally I think Moe deserves better that Maya, He did love her, but she was willing to leave him over miscommunication. He did not need to be short to be with her, he proposed to her before that. And in her second appearance, there was no apology for what she put him through, and was ready to leave him again without talking to him because of the trauma She caused him

I just recently watched this episode (as I've been re-watching Simpsons since S01.) Maya was amazing. And was perfect for Moe.

Could you please also talk about *that* weird period when Milhouse was doing "that thing" during the end of 29th season and some bits of the 30th (and I guess on 31th too)? I never understood why the series would take that road, and it was a relief that it ended 🤗😅.

I love moe and im soooo happy we got another video about someone whos with him

It's been a long time since I watched The Simpsons and I wonder what happened to Maya. Thanks for the video

I love Maya and Moe. When Moe blew it at the end of her first appearance, the ending was still bittersweet. Homer isn't usually a man with words of wisdom, but he really came through as Moe's friend. His dialogue about having one person who loved you means you can find love again, was a terrifc message. Probably one of my favorite heartfelt moments from the modern show.

Its such a shame that Maya has been so underused :(

Lol the mr burns computer schreen is legendary:) So sad Moe has lost his "Wife" Maya.

I’m looking forward to a wedding episode. I have a feeling that’s going to happen sometime down the line. I like that they are giving more characters actual happy endings. I think Skinner definitely needs his next.

"And Maya was brought back by...oh I don't know...James Earl Jones"

I always loved Maya, I thought her and Moe's relationship was so sweet! A character that is really rough around the edges finding love in a sweet and understanding lady who has her own challenges to overcome. I wish they would do more with her, now that Larry is gone (RIP Larry) maybe she can become more of a regular at the bar? They renovate like a walkway so she can be at eye level with the regulars, and has her own short-barrelled shotgun to match Moe's.

You can do a video on Gloria, you know, she started out as Mr Burn's redemption love interest and the became Snake's girlfriend even though a little bit of the show's status

Do a video on the new Simpsons short

I was just thinking about them! Despite Moe being quite popular to ship with... at least 5 different people in my little corner of l'internet, I have only maybe seen like.... 3 drawings of Moe and Maya together. Sad. They're very cute. I'm more of a Moe x Barney person myself cuz I love some toxic old man yaoi lol, but I'm just happy when Moe is happy and Maya is very cute and I love her. Love how despite Moe finding himself ugly, he has quite a lot of fans who find him adorable. Me included! I just don't understand? Maybe they wanna milk the Moe-is-miserable jokes a bit more. You can make Barney the miserable lonely guy now, give him some more screentime while you're at it... I thought maybe her exclusion is because they would be worried of backlash, considering she's a little person. Glad to know there's at least an episode in the works about Moe and Maya! Honestly it could go either way... it would be delightful if they ended up legally adopting Nelson after Top Goon. Buuuut that's maybe getting a bit too ahead of myself. I just wanna see more of Maya being a little quirky, like that one scene where she pretends to be a doll!

Just like simithers 0:50

I can’t tell but something pretty fishy is going on, but like, I’m theorizing she’s just an imagination because Homer is still in a coma dreaming all these things, and why the pink car gets fixed up so quickly for the next episode, but like it’s just, yeah The Simpsons are really confusing.
