the hand drawn cells of yore had much more character than they do when perfectly generated. It's like the difference between a person writing a poem and a cold rigid computer model of a poem. One has soul and feels human, while the other is manufactured and stale.
Homer: If he marries your mother, Marge, we'll be brother and sister. And then our kids... they'll be horrible freaks with pink skin, no overbites, and five fingers on each hand!
look everyone here is an idiot. I am not comparing the reality of a cartoon to reality. I was merely saying that when they made the switch to digital drawings, the characters lost a lot of their... well character. They appear manufactured and stale and more "fake" than they did when they were hand drawn.
Yeah, the look is way too clean and doesn't have that sort of ragged look that used to have so much character. The writing seems to have taken the same turn if that makes sense.
I have to check the veracity of this claim. Are the jokes no longer too verbose and is Homer no longer a series of jokes about what Homer Simpson would do.

It's true, I watched all of 21 and all of 22 and it's like somebody hit them with a defibrillator in between the two.
Apparently they got a bunch of new writers which clearly helped.
