If you are an active user on social networks, you know the rumor that The Simpsons can predict the future. The series, which was created by Matt Groening, has been on television for several decades and some netizens claim that the Springfield yellow family show predicted things ranging from Donald Trump’s rise to the presidency of the United States to the arrival of the pandemic.
That said, a chapter that supposedly predicted the accident of the submarine that traveled to see the remains of the Titanic at the bottom of the sea went viral a few hours ago.
In episode 10 of season 17, originally released in 2006, Homer Simpson sets out on an expedition to the bottom of the sea accompanied by his long-lost father, Mason Fairbanks, who suggests that there are treasures in the depths; however, he warns her regarding the dangers of carrying out this type of activity.
Thus, Homer and Mason begin their adventure and reach the bottom in two submersibles, but when the first of them calls his friends Carl and Lenny, their ship ends up stuck in a coral reef while the oxygen level of the submarine is depleting.
Days later, the protagonist wakes up following being in a coma for three days in a hospital, which served to make fans of the series assure that The Simpsons once once more predicted a historical event in real life.
The reaction of the writer who created the episode
Before all the commotion generated by the animated series, Mike Reiss, writer and producer who participated in the creation of the episode in question, gave his opinion on the matter.
In fact, the artist descended more than 3,000 meters underwater in “Titan”, the same submersible that disappeared in the Atlantic when it was going to explore the remains of the Titanic, reported the New York Post.
Reiss says that, to make the chapter, the creative team was inspired by “Crimson Tide”, a 1995 film that tells a story of tension aboard a nuclear submarine.
“We did that episode because the movie ‘Crimson Tide’ had just come out,” the screenwriter said of the film starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. “We didn’t predict the future, we just did it from that movie and 20 years later, something like this happened.”
When talking regarding his experience on “Titan”, Reiss recalled that, despite everything said on the subject, he fell asleep during the journey.
“People talk regarding emotion, emotions and ‘Were you scared?’” the writer continued. “And it’s like, ‘I feel asleep.'”
The screenwriter, who signed a document to waive a possible lawsuit for his death, knew the risks of descending to the bottom of the ocean and even took a piece of paper to write his last jokes before something went terribly wrong.
“He knew this was very dangerous,” recalled Denise, his wife. “Even in the most extreme situations, he has a joke.”
“Death is always lurking, it’s always in the back of your mind,” Reiss added of the experience. “Before you even get on the ship, there’s a long, long disclaimer that mentions death three times on the first page.”
