Fans have taken to social media in the month following the show's Season 36 finale, where matriarch Marge is seen in heaven. That said, the shocking death of Marge in 'Estranger Things' isn't all that shocking given that her death takes place in a future timeline. Adult versions of Bart, Lisa and Maggie are seen along with their father, who somehow looks exactly the same, at her funeral, and others. 'Beloved wife, mother, pork-chop seasoner,' reads her tombstone. In the episode, Marge's worst fear comes true when Bart and Lisa grow apart and their lives end up going in different directions. Future Lisa is the commissioner of the NBA while Future Bart runs an unlicensed retirement home that their father Homer Simpson lives in without Marge.

At one point, Lisa refers to her 'late mother' and later reads a letter Marge had written 'to be opened after I pass,' during which a young-looking Marge calls it 'very unlikely' that she'd die before Homer. The family end up finding their way back to one another as Marge is seen looking down at them from above. 'I'm so happy my kids are close again,' Marge says, before new husband (!) Ringo Starr shows up and tells her, 'Love, we'll be late for the Heaven buffet. There's a shrimp tower.' Many fans were shocked.

'Might as well kill off Randy Marsh from South Park and Stewie from Family Guy while you're at it.' Another commented: 'Community justice for MARGE that they killing in season 36 finale in a flash forward scene. She has been one of my fav characters of Simpsons all these years.' However, others commented that they were more surprised people still watch the show that debuted on Dec. 17, 1989. 'Me just realizing she's dead despite not watching The Simpsons seriously in years,' one person mused. That said, The Simpsons has been renewed for four more seasons, so viewers can see where the show picks up when Season 37 premieres this fall. Toronto Raptors CFL Canada Celebrity Celebrity

How did Marge Simpson die? Iconic Simpsons character marries Ringo Starr in afterlife
Fans of America's longest-running primetime show, The Simpsons, were left shocked after Season 36 finale revealed that one of the main characters of the show- Marge Simpson- died. The episode aired on May 18 and the beloved character is voiced by Julie Kavner. The Simpsons confirms Marge Simpson's death in Season 36 finale(The Simpsons) The finale episode titled 'Estranger Things' kills off Marge Simpson not in the present but via a 35-year flash forward into the future. This jump shows that her three children Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are now all adults. In an unfortunate turn of circumstances, her worst fear of her kids growing apart has come to life as they have now stopped watching the kids' show that bonded all of them together- The Itchy & Scratchy Show. Lisa goes on to pursue a successful career as commissioner of the NBA while 'Bart remained Bart'. He now runs an unlicensed old age home where Homer lives minus his wife Marge who has seemingly passed away. The episode featured a brief funeral scene at Marge's tombstone where Lisa refers to her as 'late mother' and also opens a letter left behind to be looked at after her death. The letter showed Marge's doubts about deeming it 'very unlikely' that she would pass away before her husband. 'Your father and I won't be around forever. When you get older, you'll need to lean on each other. Whatever you do, don't drift apart, you share a journey with your siblings that no one else will ever understand,' Marge said in a foreshadowing scene. 'You must never, ever, ever take that for granted.' The episode concluded with the sibling pair watching The Itchy & Scratchy Show together while their mother looks down upon them from heaven. Marge Simpson marries The Beatles alum Ringo Starr in afterlife In a hilarious but shocking twist of events, it's revealed that Marge remarries The Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr in heaven as he sneaks up behind her to say, 'Love, we'll be late for the Heaven buffet. There's a shrimp tower." 'Okay, Ringo,' she says before kissing the musician. 'I'm just so glad that we're allowed to marry different people in Heaven.' Although no exact reason is provided for Marge's death, it's clear that the event is bound to happen at some point in the future. The Simpsons has been renewed for four more seasons. Season 37 is expected to premiere sometime in the fall. By Stuti Gupta
