If you were to rewrite Lisa’s character, what would the changes be? And how would you improve her characterization?
Here’s my changes:
1: Not make her a Mary-Sue, make her more disciplined, have her learn her lesson, and have her take responsibility for her mistakes. Also have her apologize properly to Bart and her family for her actions too. Most of her flaws remain the same, but I’m changing some of them.
2: Have her understand that the world doesn’t revolve around her, and deals with the fact that she’s not perfect, and realizes that she can’t always have everything in her own way, and learns to accept these things with the help of someone. Have her still be intelligent though, but in a better source.
3: Make her more selfless than selfish, and not make her jealous over the smallest things, also have her accept some of the things she disagrees with. Oh, and not make her sabotage people over jealousy, and anything like that.
4: At least give her more valid reasons is to why she is upset at something, or valid reasons is to why she’s sad and depressed at times.
5: Have her crush be Nelson, and make it permanent. And not have Lisa attempt to murder people out of jealousy like in “Dude, Where’s My Ranch”
6: While Lisa will still have issues with Bart, at least have both of them punished instead of just Bart, and both of them apologize to each other afterwards.
7: Not have her criticize and correct her family all the time, whenever they make points on stuff, and instead, Lisa still disagrees but accepts their advice and understands some more.
8: Make her handle people doing nice things to her (Including Bart) instead of sabotaging them.
9: Get rid of episodes such as “On A Clear Day I Can’t See My Sister”, “Lisa Goes Gaga”, “Bart vs Itchy and Scratchy”, “Dude, Where’s My Ranch”, etc.
And 10: Show some more respect for her, instead of mistreating her.
And not only is this my change for Lisa’s character, this will also be part of my What if scenario of Lisa and Maggie being born as twins, where Maggie actually helps Lisa learn about a lot of things despite her intelligence, it does take a while though, but Maggie is able to get Lisa to understand the correct advice Maggie gives. And Let’s say that “What if Lisa and Maggie were Twins” will only be a 10 Season series, instead of 30+. And Let’s also say that Season 10 of my scenario takes place 10 years later after Season 9, where Lisa and Maggie are older, and Lisa is more matured with Maggie’s help and advice. And the plots are completely different in that season.
So what do you guys think of my change for Lisa’s character? Leave a comment below, and share your answers. And How YOU would make Lisa a better character.
And if anyone says “None”, or sends emojis like 🤬😡😤😠👎 or 🖕 about Lisa in general, then don’t comment on this post at all, and do something else. That includes you, Mart1997.
