The Plankton Movie Is UNBELIEVABLE for MODERN SpongeBob
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This has NOT been a kind time to be a SpongeBob SquarePants fan. Sponge On The Run was absolutely AWFUL. While it wasn't AS BAD, Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie was so bad, that many consider it to be one of the worst things to come out of the series. But just like with The Sandy Movie, Plankton got his own movie. And I saw it. The question is, could it actually be good? Or is it a NEW LOW for the series?
HUGE thanks to @Reecee for joining this video! Make sure to subscribe to him.
Thank you for having me on, I really enjoyed the Plankton Movie and I was happy to share some of my thoughts on it. After the awful Sandy Movie, seeing a GOOD SpongeBob movie again after nearly a decade was really refreshing. And honestly, of all of the things getting leaked right now, this movie really didn’t deserve it.
Loved hearing your input on the movie. While I'll agree the Sandy movie is indeed awful, I do find it funny for all the wrong reasons. The scenes with Wanda Sykes were the best parts of the film, and the overall motive behind her is so dumb, it's funny. Will never not laugh when she says "WHO IS MISSING?!?" and her moronic henchman plays her theme music.
Thanks for joining! Guys, sub to Reecee if you haven't!
@@Demeech Honestly, "The Plankton Movie" has become my second favorite SpongeBob Movie in General.
{"What's your first favorite?"}
"Sponge Out of Water"
{"Why didn't you like the very first SpongeBob Movie?"}
Because unlike my two favorites, the very first SpongeBob Movie didn't feel like SpongeBob to me,
@@Demeech already did! 👍🏻
I actually liked Spongebob Out Of Water
While sandy's movie is "cheeks"
Plank's movie felt like it had a "Ton" of love and "kare" in it
i see what u did there 😂
Lol
Nice
"Karen" it
Well mr lawrence did help write the story
I'd be surprised if this was bad, Plankton is like one of the only characters I can think of that didn't fall off in the modern era.
I'd say he's the ONLY character that has remained the same for the whole show, which Is impressive
And Squidward apart from his torture?
his VA is on the storyboard team for anything he's in.
plankton the only survivor left fr
@@polocatfanNot storyboard necessarily (despite Mr. Lawrence having drawing skills), but he does write outlines and scripts
Sandy: The Emoji Movie
Plankton: Spiderverse
(okay new theory...)
The Squidward movie: Deadpool and Wolverine
Then Search For Squarepants will be _The Mitchells vs The Machines._
@@EnriqueLaberinticoI dont like the Mitchells Vs The Machines
@@ProbabIyKnifesBruh.
@@ProbabIyKnifesIs bro LSMark?
About Friend or Foe being retconned, it was said that Plankton and Karen were dating in their childhood. I feel like it's only because since he and Krabs had a fallout, he didn't see Krabs as a friend. So, since he and Karen were dating, it makes sense that he only considered Karen his friend *after* the events of the fallout.
That makes sense
I was in SHOCK to see a modern SpongeBob movie turn out good. And tbh I was expecting it to be better than the last couple movies anyway since it's centered around Plankton, the copepod who literally carries the show atp.
It honestly should've been the real third spongebob movie (of course change the animation)
Damn modern soongebob isnt that bad
Haven't watched the new movie but personally I'll give it a chance.
@@sammyjaohnson5631 cap
@@sammyjaohnson5631 it is tho💀
this movie was not the final product, the plankton movie was meant to come out NEXT YEAR vs the sandy movie leaking only a few months ago. You can also tell because of the lack of rendering in the movie vs the announcement screencap
The movie looked finished to me; it’s hard to tell because of the 360p quality. The daytime scenes (at the very beginning and very end) did look unfinished to me
For a movie that’s not even finished yet I was kinda surprised but glad it was actually good
I don't care if this movie retcons Friend or Foe, the after-credits song is so good that I can give it a pass
🎶🎵 You and Me, under the sea, is a recipe, for disaster, You and Me, under our sea, is separately, ever after 🎵🎶 FOR REAL BRO IT'S SO GOOD
I’m thinking it’s non-canon actually
Friend or Foe already retconned Enemy In-Law, so I don’t really mind
(Also, the Plankton movie retcons Kamp Koral; the calculator Karen could talk in that show, but Karen couldn’t talk in the movie’s flashback until after she was upgraded)
@@salliemagnaye1403 I'm sure there are ways to work around the canonicity of "Friend or Foe". Like maybe Mr. Krabs was right about Plankton's behavior during most of the flashback, when Plankton had maniacal tendencies once in a while (much like the young Plankton in the movie's flashbacks); also in "Friend or Foe", Karen mentioned that Plankton created her from a Calculator, which is how she's created in the movie. The movie also shows that Plankton was born to a bunch of Plankton type Hillbillies, and given his reaction to his old life during the flashback, it actually connects to Plankton's own words in "Plankton's Army" stating "I've been away from home longer than I thought", because he actually blocked his birthright from his memory.
But I know what you're thinking about with Plankton and his reason to steal the Krabby Patty Formula. You're thinking that "Friend or Foe" should not be canon, because Plankton swore vengeance for the formula in "Friend or Foe", yet he acts like he never heard of the Krabby Patty Formula in the Plankton movie... What if I told you that BOTH scenes can work in the same canon?
{Spoiler Alert}
So, while Krabs was being obsessed with the idea of money, and that Plankton was lifted up into the sky from the balloons Krabs gave him, Plankton later decided to create a new friend, who he named Karen. After Plankton and Krabs got into an argument over the death of Jenkins, they part ways and Krabs ended up with an improved patty batter. Plankton swore revenge when Krabs became popular, however, Plankton decided that in doing so, he should go to collage, so he left his Hillbilly life behind, and took Karen with her to collage.
During his stay in collage, he has forgotten about his revenge towards Krabs and started to be more attached to Karen, as he started to give her upgrades and she helped him out in creating weapons of mass destruction. When they planned to go to the surface world with a giant robot, they got into a SNAFU when realizing Humans are much bigger than some of the sea creatures. After a bucket toss from a little girl, who lost one of her gloves in the process, Plankton decided to get lunch at the Krusty Krab, it is there that it started to come back to him when Krabs spoke out loud that his Krabby Patties are delicious enough to take over the world. Recalling his time of envy towards Krabs in his younger years, he used the giant bucket as his headquarters, named it "The Chum Bucket", and has become the Plankton we know today, much to Karen's dismay.
The movie Retcons the OG Spongebob movie.
People are talking about “Friend or Foe” but no ones talking about how it recons Karen saying she didn’t agree to her marriage in the 1st movie. Also it’s Netflix’s security that is flawed not Viacom’s
Let's be honest. I don't think friend or foe was good enough for fans to consider that episode canon. Considering how much post movie and current spongebob went.
@@handelunavailable speak for yourself I love that origin story especially for Mr. Krabs, "ragboy" makes perfect sense for him being the way he is now. and the krabby patty needing a pinch of chum was referenced in another episode Mr. Lawrence wrote.
@@pixelfuzztv1371 I don't really hate it. But I feel like it could've been longer. A few missed opportunities like to show an extended scene on how Mr krabs bought the krusty krab.
@@handelunavailable totally agree there
It’s about time we got a truly incredible SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off movie
To be fair there's only been one so far
Yes the plankton movie
I think it’s thanks to the fact that Planktons voice actor Mr Lawrence wrote the movie I think?
"if i had a Nickle evertime a spongebob movie got leaked in 2024 i would have 2 nickles... Which isn't a lot but It's weird It happened twice"
This meme is everywhere.
@@joshuaW5621 pnf is a good show tho and we all grew up with it so it makes sense why
Prolly gonna be 3 with the squidward, Mr krabs, or Patrick movie
Nick Le: I'M HIGHLY OFFENDED!
@@TrademarkLover64 I like it too, but I’m starting to wonder if this meme is getting a little overused.
I like to think that planktons backstory with Karen is right after the events of friend or foe right after plankton slams the door on krabs he goes back home and the backstory of Karen and plankton ensues
Or, it could be that Karen (in her calculator form) was used for a security system, and even had herself connected to security cameras after Stinky was arrested. Karen was gonna show what happened after Plankton left from an argument, but she felt his happiness is more important, and decided not to let Plankton hate Krabs further. Plankton has forgotten about his revenge plot while he was in collage, but after his failure to take over the surface world, led to him visiting the Krusty Krab for comfort food. Krab's blurt is what made him semi-remember his original revenge plot, and decided to make it part of his main plan of taking over the world.
The first flashback ends with Plankton and Karen leaving for college, so his whole thing with Krabs might have taken place in-between Karen's creation and that.
@@matti.8465 maybe that could be the case
I watched the entire Plankton movie and gotta say: its pretty good.
FINALLY! Something good out of 2020's Spongebob, FOR ONCE!
Same, it haad a really good soundtrack too.
How did you watch it?
@@KabirKapur-i3l I would send you a link, but it could get deleted by paramount.
this movie was actually amazing lol. friend or foe was retconned but honestly i think it's fine given the new backstory works for planktons backstory,, this movie was probably as good as it is because mr lawrence wrote the story.
What if I told you that both stories can work in the same canon?
@@robbiewalker2831address the timeline
Also because Plankton Is the best character on SpongeBob. You can tell he's the one who hasn't changed on the whole show.
@@robbiewalker2831 Honestly they really can't, not even mentioning the contradictions involving how Plankton started his mission to get the formula, it also clashes with Krabs and Plankton's established dynamic and arguably weakens it in order to she'd light on Plankton's relationshio with Karen.
No! Not another SpongeBob movie, why?! Wait-

@@TheFawfulExpressMustardO-cx6mwMore like Sega
If the next and final Netflix SB movie, the Patrick one, was directly a movie for the Patrick show, it would be peak
A movie focused on Squidward would be a good idea.
This movie was a wonderful watch, so glad Demeech saved it so I could watch it for myself. Thank you for doing that, by the way! I loved how this movie showed off Plankton and Karen's beginnings, even if they didn't touch on "Friend or Foe", and it was heartwarming to see the two so in love with one another in their goal to conquer the world. I will say, it was nice to see Plankton actually take accountability and realize just what a jerk he was. Not to mention, I'm glad they gave SpongeBob back his level of maturity, even having him angry at Plankton. I LOVE HYDRA PSYCHO KAREN!!!!!!!
I was laughing at the sheer stupidity of the Sandy Cheeks movie, but with the Plankton movie, I was immersed with what was going on, I cared about the plot, and Plankton and Karen's relationship. It doesn't have WANDA SYKES, but it's such a great movie I'd recommend to fans and non fans.
Would a Mr. Krabs or Mrs. Puff movie work too?
@@joshuaW5621 Probably not. It would just be a movie where Mr. Krabs flaunts his money fetish. A movie on Mrs. Puff and her life before meeting SpongeBob would be interesting.
@@ranpan6082oh yeah I NEED to see what she did in new kelp city
@@ranpan6082yet a Mr krabs movie could work if it’s focused on his navy days and not focused on his love for money as much. Hell, they could even throw in how he got pearl in there as well. Depends on if Stephen would’ve wanted them to reveal that though since just having spin-off films he probably wouldn’t have liked.
@@ranpan6082A movie about Mr. Krabs would actually develop why he has Pearl (and a possible mother of Pearl), which would be really Interesting, but dunno what else It would do
"BS me? Plankton. Language!" 😂😂
The next spinoff movie should be a squidward movie and it should be about squidward and squilliam rivalry and how they became rivals. I think that could be interesting
The next one is a Patrick movie which is the last one. Then its the theatrical movie that releases late next year.
@@ramarriblevinsjones5709oh boy I’m not excited for a Patrick movie. Search for SquarePants however, that interests me.
@@ramarriblevinsjones5709 imagine if it was also written by his voice actor.
@@handelunavailable According to the wiki, the movie is written by Kaz and Andrew Goodman, while the story is also by Kaz and Marc Ceccarelli.
@@ramarriblevinsjones5709We don't need a Patrick movie imo. He has an entire show and Is the second most important character. But I get why they want to approach him rather than Squidward or Krabs.
I always felt Sandy was a bit cringe so I see why that did flop hard. Plankton, however, there is a lot to work with IMO.
Technically it does retcon friend for foe definitely because Karen was a security system and not a calculator
Honestly I wouldn’t mind them being loose with continuity and treating season 1-5 and season 10-14 as two separate shows if they didn’t constantly pander to nostalgia. It feels so selective they’ll acknowledge stuff for the sake of cheap references but they will other time blatantly retcon stuff (like kamp koral didn’t just retcon Sandy but also every other relationship SpongeBob has to promote a spin off show).
Here's my little headcanon: Plankton decided have Karen (in her original calculator form) be the security system, and had her connected to a Camera for evidence of their work. After a dispute, and the failure to attract customers (with Krabs being popular with his Krabby Patties), Plankton decided to go to collage to plan out his revenge plot. Karen was gonna show Plankton what happened, but she felt that it's better if she doesn't show it at all, because she wanted Plankton to be happy rather than bitter. The rest of the story is self-explanatory.
Karen could be both
The contrast between the dumpster fire that was the sandy movie to the plankton movie which was actually good really makes me wonder will these spin off movies be all over the place quality wise
"the secret formula... is you."
The Plankton Movie sounds like a great idea for a SpongeBob movie, i can't wait for the upcoming Plankton Movie.
I mean this in the best way possible towards the crew of the Sandy Movie, but my guess is that this movie really benefited from what I can only assume is increased involvement from Mr. Lawrence. What can I say, he’s essentially SpongeBob’s closest uncle, if Stephen is the father, and we all deem him a National Treasure. Hoping to Neptune that Death Castle becomes a series!
I would watch the splinter over the sandy cheeks movie
Directors of Sandy Movie: lets just steal sponge out of water and make the characters go out of water and be abale to breath to save bikini bottom.
Directors of Plankton Movie: Ok guys i just had a HUGE idea, how about we make something completely new, make karen the villan, and plankton showing his true love for karen, and then they will rule the world together, and SpongeBob and Patrick mess everything up.
The plankton movie is just so good
I can't wait for the Squidward Movie
Some people still don’t know about SpongeBob that in every movie it always has to start with them presenting the characters. I wonder how they’re gonna get creative with the final movie of the trilogy and the Flying Dutchman movie.
Theory to explain the retconning: Kamp Koral was solved with us finding out at one point that future Sandy sent young Sandy into the past to keep the timeline intact, due to Plankton and SpongeBob discovering the formula at the wrong point in time. We also know that young Sandy is travelling through time in the episode "PL-1443". Hear me out, but what if young Sandy accidentally triggered something in the past that shifted the timeline, causing all these new events to happen. It's a bit of a stretch, I know, but it feels like a good explanation.
This is the third best SpongeBob movie
Would your second-best be "Sponge Out of Water"?
5:05 is that GLORB music I hear in the background?
Immediately liked and subscribed
@@ohmygodtheykilledkenny4887 Considering how BASED you are for that, imma sub to you too!
The only thing i hated about the movie was that squidward only had like one line near the end
I found the sandy cheeks movie fine
We need the squidward movie ngl
I only could watch the first 38 minutes of it, but is amazing, cant wait for the full movie
I didn’t know Doug Lawrence was married to Carolyn Lawrence.
If i'm being honest, i Found the sandy cheeks movie to be fine
I'm going wait for the film to release on Netflix. But this is what I'm saying; I'm fine with SpongeBob spinoffs. I didn't like the Sandy movie either, but that's not to say I'm forever going to hate on SpongeBob. There is potential, just like this film. If people say that this is good SpongeBob content, isn't that all we should care about? I'm excited for the Plankton Movie.
Sandy movie is fine for what it is. It's one of those "it gets the job done" type of films.
It's also a kids film. Not a family film. One of the reasons why more modern animated films fail at the box office and in the ratings is that they are targeted for kids. With more generic plots, simpler characters and fast paced action, yeah.
Regarding the Sandy movie, defiantly not what I expected, far from it. But it's defiantly taylored to the younger audience, who wouldn't think twice about the little details (character dymanics, design, how good the jokes are or what they are, etc) that we would think about.
But the plankton movie, now that sounds like a true 90s early to mid 2000s family film. I feel like this would've done defiantly well at the box office. Don't have much to say cause I haven't watched it myself yet.
If they're gonna make a Squidward movie they better give us the backstory to Squidward and Squiliam's relationship!!!!
“Being bad has never felt this good.”
modern spongebob is only good when mr lawrence is heavily involved on the writing of an episode or if plankton plays a big role on an episode. wouldnt be different with movies
This might just be my second favorite spongebob movie after the original! It was such an enjoyable experience that gave plankton tons of character development, it just worked very well as a spongebob (technically Plankton) movie, and thankfully it doesn't feel like just an extended episode.
“IT’S NOT SHIIIIIIIIIIT!” -James Rolfe
Now people can stop complaining that SpongeBob is dead just because of the Sandy movie.
Yeah people definitly exaggerated modern spongebob like guys its not that bad
@@sammyjaohnson5631 Right, I still enjoy them, heck, I even enjoyed the Patrick spinoff.
@@sammyjaohnson5631 ok, ignore the feet and fetish scenes and the exaggerated animation, that tries to make itself meme-able every second
@@just_a_faithful_guy its not trying to be a meme the way the characters are drawn depends on the artist style and yeah ill admit that scene with Spongebob tickling those people feet was wierd
@sammyjaohnson5631 the exaggerated faces are literally the writers trying hard to make any scene meme-able, while seasons 1-3 didn't try hard to and almost all spongebob memes are from these seasons, remember the fetish shit like spongebob drinking a jar of saliva, add to that the squidward torture and the obvious personality change of all characters
I feel like Plankton’s movie being better was just down to the concept. There’s a lot you can do with a villain protagonist. Sandy is not a character who warrants their own movie.
Could've been better if it was written by Sandy's voice actor
Sandy did deserve a movie, but they wasted It
@@rigboy1234 to clarify, no character besides the sponge deserves their own movie because these spin off movies and shows are unnecessary. Plankton just has more potential, being an antagonist.
@@cordyceps7531I’m not sure, there’s a lot of things they could’ve done with that.
I'm glad that Plankton had a good movie to wash off the awful Sandy movie
SpongeBob and Plankton might actually be my favorite characters Sandy's movie could've been better Sandy gonna get a lot of hate now
I think Sandy is going to be fine. It’s her movie that people don’t like.
Plankton is the only character that hasn’t been ruined
I think Flanderized is a better word. They’ve gotten “better” though.
I agree that this movie was awesome. I also think having Karen as the villain was very interesting and something different. I thought she was one of the best villains in the SpongeBob movie series so far. I also like how the tone of this movie was a little different and the stakes were pretty high. It was funny when it needed to be and sometimes serious when it had to be. Overall rating 8/10
For those who saw the movie, I wonder if Hydra Karen was based on Clover from Deltarune? She gave me the same sorts of vibes. The fact that she ended up with four (later five, very briefly) heads also makes me wonder if there was some Tiamat influence in there, but then she immediately separates into OG Karen and four flunkies.
The sandy cheeks movie, in my opinion, has a good concept but terrible execution
Who came up with the writing for the plankton movie, probably not the SpongeBob writers that’s for sure.
Some of them actually
Plankton movie was unbelievably amazing when it leak.
Third best film from the movie series.
Love how ur playing Atlantis Squarepantis DS! that game was so fun and so nostalgic for me :)
the squidward movie
Huh. Well what do you know, Spongebob movies became so bad that they circled around to being good again.
How does this guy even still have an audience
Because people like his stuff.
I heard dee Bradley baker is playing spot just like the cosmic shake.
3rd favorite sb film!
For a second I thought that title meant that it was bad. Glad it's actually good
This movie is amazing, the song segments, and the flashbacks, along with everything else this is a solid movie, even though it does have some flaws and weird moments, but ignoring them would be the best
Also This movie has plankton mewing it's obviously a peak 🤫♂️
only time i stopped at a spoiler
If there is going to be another spin-off SpongeBob movie, then I think the best course of action would actually be to focus it around Squidward. I know that the next and possibly final spin-off film will most likely be about Patrick, but like with Plankton, there are areas to explore with Squidward’s character. Making a film that gives the writers a great excuse to better explain how he became so nihilistic about life and possibly giving him a taste of true happiness like he got in “Band Geeks” would be the perfect idea for a very enjoyable spin-off film. The Patrick Star Show already fleshed out Patrick’s character a lot, so giving him the last spin-off movie instead of Squidward or another character who may need some more development seems wrong. Maybe with the positive reception the Plankton movie is getting even before its full release, hopefully the producers end up changing their minds.
1:40 what game is this?
Atlantis squarpantis DS
You remind me of bubble bass
Hi idk why I did this
Like i said in a reddit post before, This movie feels like a mix of Sponge on the run's animation with Season 3's humor
There is unreleased SpongeBob video game 🎮 called happiness squared.
Calm down with all the comments 😭😭😭
I love it a lot but two things I had a problem were consistency issues but I know that spongebob constnatly retcons things so its not a big deal but
friend or foe, the whole stroy was retconned or maybe it was done off screen, but since plankton says he was lonely as a kid, then it feels weird. But maybe Plankton just forgot the memories since he was being hypnotised.
The other thing is, that when karen makes the chum bucket popular, it makes no sense for plankton to be upset about it since there are so many episodes plankton being happy when his restaurant is popular like chum fricasse, and planktons regular.
Plankton's memories in the movie were more focused on his relationship with Karen; his connection with Krabs is besides the point, and might as well be off-screen. While in "Friend or Foe", she said that she was installed as a security system, Plankton mentioned it was their third date when it happened; so it's likely those events could still co-exist.

They had to make it worthy of Sheldon.
Maybe Plankton made it himself

@@ahmedhasan4966 The “footage” of that shitty bootleg.
@@chromxrobinandcorrinxcamil9031 Tell me the difference between the console and pc version.
@@ahmedhasan4966 Certainly.
1. The PC version is just better/enjoyable. The "console" version is just so... forgettable.
2. The "console" version is just another boring, bland, and uninteresting "platform adventure" game, while the PC version has some based minigames. It is EXTREMELY tedious to 100% complete the "console" version and you get a really b a d reward for doing so.
3. The "console" version's music utterly sucks, while the PC version has some true bangers.
4. The voice acting is better on PC (looks at Mr. Krabs)
5. The PC version is far easier for kids to comprehend and enjoy.
6. It's not fun to collect golden spatulas, which you need to PROGRESS.
And so. So on.
@chromxrobinandcorrinxcamil9031 ... Nah, I disagree with your opinion. The console version is better!
At least this can keep the spongebob fanbase alive unlike the sandy cheeks one
FINALLY THEY GOT ONE RIGHT
Bro I hate when I get a soiler warning 😫
Atlantis Squarepantis DS let's fucking go
Is Gary going to be good
This movie is number 3 first is the first movie second is sponge out water
Makes sense It Is a good movie considering It was written by Lawrence himself and that Plankton Is the only character on the show that has remained the same for Its entirety (for some reason we'll never know lol). Haven't watched It, but I definitely will when It comes out
Sandy cheeks movie sucked I didn't even finish it I'm excited for the Plankton movie
plankton is so hot
The movie reminded me a lot of Glorb.
Can someone tell me what the game in the background is?
Tosses the third and 4th movies into the trash
Wait the movies out!?
it got leaked
You wanna know what character i think should get a spinoff movie next Squidward Quincy tentacles if they made a good plankton movie and had one of the writers being Mr Lawrence the voice of plankton we could have Rodger Bumpass the voice of Squidward be one of the writers on the squidward movie and if they do that they better not fuck up Squidwards movie you can fuck up Sandy's movie but when you fuck up Squidwards movie that's where we riot
Perhaps I'll check this one out, Though there's only one true Spongebob movie
