The Mexican actor Humberto Velez is known in Latin America for being the iconic voice of Homer Simpson. After what Disney assume the franchises of the disappeared 20th Century Foxthe interpreter returned to voice him after a long period after having been banned as a result of the dubbing actors’ strikes that occurred in 2005.
Vélez gave an interview to the podcast ‘ECP‘ where he talked interesting things about his career, and even gave himself the opportunity to know his opinion regarding how he sees The Simpsons currently. One of the criticisms that the series has been suffering for years is that they are no longer as they were before, having lost their grace when it comes to their characters and even the situations, becoming much more absurd and meaningless.

First he noted that he considers seasons one to fifteen to be the best. Breaking down his idea a little more he said: «From 1 to 5 are the best, they are unbeatable. It is a gigantic genius«. Then she spoke of the 6 to 10: «What a good program, but you don’t say it’s brilliant, but it’s a great program.«. Finally, regarding the 10 to 15: «Alright. You no longer say it’s not genius, but it’s not crap either. I can see it. I don’t know what happened next«.
The interpreter of Homer says that he took all this as a “mental trick” when he had to take on the character again. «If the series fails, it won’t be my fault. The time has changed. People and tastes changed«, remembering that there are some things that should not be said about it and that even in a creative letter from Fox they indicated that Homer was a homophobic character e indefinite sexual. «Today you can’t put that» says Vélez.
When should The Simpsons have ended?
When asked if the series should have an end, Vélez highlighted: «I say it should have ended in season 10. If it had been like that, it would happen to Pedro Infante: He becomes immortal«.
Despite this, he considers that it is still a great series but now it has become a series aimed at a much more closed audience, in relation to the arrival of the series to streaming and having dispensed with continuing to broadcast on an open signal. «Those who are going to pay, they will understand the jokes«.
