Let’s take a quick look at that chronology. Even “A Made Maggie,” that one where she became a mobster, was more about Fat Tony and Marge and Homer.
“Moe Baby Blues” is about Moe’s battle with depression and purpose. Season five’s “Rosebud,” about Maggie refusing to give up Adolf Hitler’s teddy bear, is actually a Mr. Most Maggie-centric episodes just aren’t. In fact, in season seven’s “Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily,” he even says “I wish I knew something about the baby I could miss.” No wonder that episode ends with Maggie seriously considering becoming a Flanders. Of course, who can blame her for wanting to step out on her own? Her own family, with maybe the exception of Marge, tends to ignore her. In fact, an entire story in “Midnight Towboy” is all about how Maggie doesn’t actually need anyone. She’s bowled a perfect game at the ripe old age of 1. She’s been seen changing her own diapers and driving a car. Teeny been through enough?įor a helpless toddler, Maggie Simpson is independent and hyper-competent to the point of not needing her family.

In “At Long Last Leave” she even intimidates a real estate agent who dares mention that Maggie might not be the most well-adjusted child out there. She’s made effigies of her nemesis solely to ruin them, and smashed a glass bottle and threatened a monkey. Burns, and, of course, tried to murder that same old man over a lollipop. She’s hit her father in the head with a mallet, fired a nail gun at him, pulled a rifle on mobsters, pulled a shotgun on Mr. Maggie Simpson, the adorable perpetual baby, is prone to violent tendencies that put both Homer and Bart (and Fat Tony) to shame. He may shove his rude ‘tude in your face, but he’ll usually end up feeling bad about it, or paying a price. Bart gets all the glory, but he also gets the redemption arcs. Let’s just get this out of the way: Maggie Simpson is probably the most openly sociopathic character on The Simpsons.
