Characterization Marches On, Stephen Hawking

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: With the caveat that there has always been significant NegativeContinuity between the Treehouse and regular episodes, Homer in "Homer³" directly alludes to Creator/StephenHawking (as "that wheelchair guy"), but in a later regular episode declares he doesn't know who he is.[[note]]Likely related to his ongoing [[{{Flanderization}} dumbing down]] as the series progressed.[[/note]]

* TakeThat: When Homer asks if anyone saw ''Film/{{Tron}}'', everyone says no. (Chief Wiggum even says it twice, then says "yes" before correcting himself.)

to:

* TakeThat: When Homer asks if anyone saw ''Film/{{Tron}}'', everyone says no. (Chief Though it's possible this is less of an outright Take That and more just a reference to the film's [[PopularityPolynomial then-current status]] as a relatively obscure CultClassic that was nonetheless highly influential in the field of visual effects. Wiggum even says it twice, then says "yes" admits he ''has'' seen the movie before correcting himself.)[[VerbalBackspace immediately backtracking]].

* AbandonedPlayground: In the dream showdown, Bart battles Willy at night in a foreboding, nightmare playground which is empty until the battle.
* AdultsAreUseless: Not only are the parents responsible for Willy going on his road to vengeance (choosing to talk about school lunch menus rather than save his life), but they do nothing to help their children and downplay the threat he poses to them.

* ForWantOfANail:
** Martin really shouldn't have fallen asleep after completing his test, as it cost him his life.
** If the parents had bothered to pay $12 for a doorknob repair, got the fire extinguishers filled, or did something to help instead of letting Willie burn to death so they could complain about school menus, he probably wouldn't have sought revenge from beyond the grave.
** One cone caused the collapse of the alternate dimension.
