Plankton ruling the world is NOT out of character. He's been wanting to do it since the very beginning. In "F.U.N" he imagined himself taking over the city with that jellyfish
I think I know why the Shell City scene was so heartbreaking. (WARNING MAJOR SPOILER) SpongeBob and Patrick are fairly innocent characters and for them to go on this long journey to find the royal crown and to not only fail but die in the process was just too much, but not only did they die but they went out feeling like they accomplished what they wanted to do, proving that even though they were kids they could still do something an adult could do. Also the fact that they went out together like best friends while singing that Goofy Goober song just added to it. That's what I got from it though.
That's a good reasoning, but I got a different vibe from it. When the movie came out, the show had been out for about 6 years, and the characters had become memorable and loved. You knew their personality, and what differentiated them from the real world equivalents. But in that scene, as they dry, so did their personification and you realize what they really are, just a sponge and a starfish. Their child-like wonder and innocence was removed, and showed kids that what they adored are just common, everyday objects. (Except for Sea stars, unless you live on the coast like me.)
Even to this day the Shell City scene gets to me. While I know Spongebob and Patrick will come back 15 seconds later, seeing them almost die the way they did makes me cry sometimes
"Spongebob, I've never told anyone this, but I've always sort of liked you!" - Squidward's last words before he thinks he's about to die in 'Graveyard Shift'. I paraphrased. But he said that!
I've noticed this and I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but: In the first 2 episodes of the series, Patrick Acts like an authority figure for spongebob. In Help Wanted, Patrick helps motivate spongebob and help him get the job. In tea at the Treedome, Spomgebob asks about how he "met this girl" and Patrick basically gives him dating advice. Again, I may be on the wrong side of right, but that's what I think.
A way to look at this is that while SpongeBob consistently seeks Patrick's advice through the series, the kind of attitude which which Patrick delivers the advice has shifted from brotherly to malicious. In none of the examples listed above was Patrick acting cocky or snide. He was being warm and comforting despite giving incorrect information to SpongeBob, and making the situation worse. Making him rude as well as incorrect is where his character starts to fall apart.
Finding Nemo: 2003 The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: 2004 The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water: 2015 Finding Dory: 2016 WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!!! (of the record, though, Finding Dory will NOT be the exact same movie as Sponge Out of Water, but then again only SpongeBob can pull off the crazy trip in that movie.)
Benjamin O'Connor Hey, I want to continue singing! Play with us before we melt! Yeah! Everybody enjoy yourself! Yeah! The best part is the middle of me! Yeah! I'm your sponge, baby, go on and squeeze! Yeah! I'm better than pillows, won't you believe me? Yeah! Squeeze me! Squeeze me 'til I pop! Squeeze me 'til you drop! Who wants to continue the song?
I love this movie, and it was a nice and epic way to end the series, but I do see where you're coming from. It would have been nice for some of the other characters to get screen time, like Squidward or Sandy. Your idea about them forming a resistance was brilliant! Where were you in 2004 to suggest this to the writers!? The ending. . . I like it. It came out of nowhere, but it's Spongebob. You can get away with illogical things like that. I really love how dark this movie got at points. The dark backgrounds, the creepy abysses, the skulls, the monsters, the creepy ice cream lady tethered to that fish monster, and even the bar scene were very edgy (I hate using that word, but I don't feel like getting my thesaurus). It really pushed how much you can get away with in a children's animated film, even based off a cartoon. The only thing that really bothered me about the movie was King Neptune. It's not that he's different from the one in the series, it's that THIS King Neptune is an unlikable asshole. Yes, even his daughter calls him out on his shit, but there is nothing redeemable about him. Even Spongebob calls him out on his overreacting. "Isn't it a little harsh to kill someone over a crown?" I don't know, it would have been better if he had some arc that made him see the error of his ways by the end of the film. But that's just me. Nice review though! :)
The sad thing is that the "death scene" is quite fitting in hindsight, based on the post movie episodes and Viacom milking them dry and feasting on the tears of the loyal fans
About Plankton's motive, in the original run, there were a few episodes that referenced Plankton wanting to rule the world including Snowball Effect and F.U.N. Granted, they were jokes, but still. It actually is a part of Plankton's character when you get down to it. They just tried to make him an awesome villain in the movie.
@@elijahulrich2023 Yeah. Don't get me wrong; I kinda see where PieGuyRulez is coming from, but the movie's portrayal of him isn't as much of a betrayal to his character as he makes it seem.
I think the thing with Sandy's Rocket is that it wasn't so much a science thing as it was an offshoot of her "extreme" nature. Space is, of course, the final frontier, so it makes perfect sense that Sandy would see that as the ultimate opportunity to go on an adventure.
1:15 Another Fun Fact: In the movie at the "GOOFY GOOBER ROCK" song. You can hear spongebob say"No,No,No freaking way ! But in the Digital and CD version, he says "No,No,No,No WAY !
From what I hear,Patchy was planned to be the main pirate in the movie but was replaced because Nickelodeon feared that audiences would be turned off by the intentional low production value of Patchy.
+Brady Anderson since when has squidward ever fucking been a landlord? where are you getting your fucking information. I don't even know what you are trying to say please clarify.
What I find funny in the movie is that plankton hires Dennis to step on SpongeBob and Patrick because earlier in the movie SpongeBob Steps on plankton, and scrapes him on the ground, thinking he stepped in gum so he hires Dennis cause he’s tired of being stepped on, so he wants someone else to fill his pain
I actually have my very own interpretation of Gary in Seasons 1-3. Gary is somewhat of a tricky character to make out. He's supposed to play the proper persona of a house cat, but he's much more deep that that. I like to call him the precursor to Perry the Platypus from Phineas & Ferb. First off, Gary's signature line is, "Meow," indicating that he's the house cat stereotype. However, in Opposite Day, he barks like a dog, a feat cats would never be able to accomplish. Gary's also not one-dimensional. In The Secret Box, he's shown to be sarcastic and arrogant by saying, "Eee... _no."_ when SpongeBob asks Gary if the plan is a good idea. Finally, Gary's true personality is shown when SpongeBob's hallucinatory clone enters his dream in Sleepy Time. It's shown that Gary is very poetic, preferring to read books made by authors such as Emily Dickinson. He also seems to keep his sarcastic personality with the quote of, "Did you think my shell was full of hot air?" Gary needs this apparent, but not abused, superiority complex to SpongeBob, otherwise he wouldn't be able to outsmart the sponge in episodes like Gary Takes A Bath. "Beware of your wandering eyes, you little poriferan!" Words to the wise, Gary.
I think Dennis was a particularly good villain because he was darker and more menacing than the other types of foes Spongebob and Patrick have encountered in the past. He poses a very real threat that couldn't have been brought by someone like Man Ray (a larger than life superhero villain), or Flats (a school bully), or the Strangler (okay, he's an actual murderer... But his tolerance for Spongebob is so low, he'd rather suffer in prison than try and strangle him). Dennis's appearance marks the first instance of an obstacle that Spongebob and Patrick need to end up maturing a little to overcome. He's the type of guy who wouldn't be fazed by Spongebob and Patrick's antics, more willing to just get the job done.
From what I've heard, Sandy being a scientist was in the pitch bible, and was always part of her character dynamic. In fact it actually predates the Karate and Fitness stuff. What seems to have happened is by the time the show was in development they had both ideas on the table(plus the idea of her being a potential love interest to Spongebob), and in S1 they experimented with a bit of everything. Tea at the Treedome mostly played it safe and did a little of all 3, Sandy's Rocket was about the scientist angle, Ripped Pants was about the love interest and fittness angle. Larry was originally seen as a bit of a rival in that dynamic though so the fittness stuff came through stronger, we got musclebob buffpants. By the end of S1 they mostly settled on the Fittness angle, as Hillenburg wasn't a huge fan of Spongebob being a romantic character(though he WAS open to testing it out, it's in the pitch bible as a 'potential option' and S1 has most of the shipping-esque scenes) and they had Plankton for the science stuff. Also they had Spongebob get into Karate too, which opened another dynamic for her(That was a later edition, his line in Tea at the Treedome was meant to just be awkward crush small talk, SB was not a figher in the pitch bible, see the stuffed animal weights) HOWEVER, by the time we get to S4, they've mostly used up a lot of the good Karate and fittness themed plots. There are a few later on(even S4 has Karate Island), but they really front loaded them. And Hillenburg made it very clear he decided against the Love interest thing so that's off the table. So they try the Scientist angle, bringing it back out of retirement in Chimps Ahoy and SquidBob Tentaclepants(both of which got solidly viewed as 'Ok'). S5 temporarily eased back on that, only really referencing her scientist side in Spy Buddies in one scene, trying a few other things like going back to the Fittness angle in 'To Save a Squirrel', or taking advantage of her being a land creature in 'Flea in her Dome', but the latter two episodes flopped hard so from S6 onward they really lean hard into the scientist angle since it was working well, and honestly Sandy got off pretty easy in the flanderization department compared to most of the cast, with the two biggest complaints either being her becoming a borderline Mary Sue or getting a bit unethical at times.
While I respect your opinion about the movie, I do think most of the complaints where very minor except for the guitar one. First of all, I feel like plankton going full villain was nick's best interest as they wanted to go big on the plot to make it fitting for the big screen and set the events of spongebob and Patricks adventure. Since this was also supposed to be spongebobs finale I think it was a good move. Next, ok, I really don't understand how there's an excessive amount of butt jokes. This isn't breadwinners. I found the jokes to be funny and the nut bar scene was great. Lol. But I think they wanted to focus on just spongebob and Patrick to not only emphasise their "kid situation" but also their teamwork and bond. And look, the whole adventure would need to change to accommodate more buddies. I can't explain, but there's just some charm to just having spongebob and Patrick be the ones on adventure. Also some other things: squidward getting back up like sandy before confronting plankton would actually cause a plot hole. As squidward is unaware of planktons mind control scheme. And back then, squidward was a bit arrogant and probably felt he didn't need anyone. And I think it wouldn't be in character for squidward to join spongebob in an adventure given that he's probably busy writing music and wouldn't want to be near him anyway. Sandy... Would make getting the crown a cake walk as she's a land animal and wouldn't catch the interest of a cyclops, even so, she couldn't be killed since she can survive land and stealthily take the crown. Your complaints are valid in that it could be more, but focusing on more characters could be difficult, especially how this movie is set up.
Callinater Well, the issue there is that they’d need to rewrite the movie a bit. But they’re taking key characters to the series and just pushing them to the wayside, and I really do think that a bit of a rewrite would be a necessary evil.
Awesome job on this review. Well-worth the wait for sure. I really liked your opinion on the movie. I haven't seen it in a while, but from what I do remember, it's certainly no masterpiece of a movie, even if I do find it enjoyable. Great character analyses as well. All very accurate interpretations. I loved how you snuck in the little "Squidward Tortellini" joke there at around 24:30 :D Nailed that speech at the end too. I eagerly await the next reviews you have in store for us. =)
The reason I cry every time during that scene too is cause picture it like this: these two characters you know and love so much are dying, or at least they feel like they are going to die. And instead of fighting, struggling, or complaining, they sing. They sing a joyful little song that connects them as friends, that makes them happy. In the face of their own demise they smile and sing, and it's heart breaking to see two characters that pure of heart, especially if they are supposed to be dying. They spend their final moments making eachother just a little happier and you can tell it's taking a lot out of them and the fucking fade out of their laughter/singing is usually what breaks me. And in the end their final tears are what saves them. Just picturing it made me tear up, but I really wanted to put it into words.
Don’t get me wrong. While the movie is good, I still feel like it was missing something for it to be a finale. You see a finale needs to be a lot of things, but one thing it needs for sure is CLOSURE. And closure for everyone. One of my issues with the movie is that while it gave room for some development for Spongebob, Patrick, and a bit for Mr Krabs, I was a bit disappointed that Squidward was a bit sidelined. And Sandy was literally sidelined totally, despite being one of the biggest supporting characters of the show. And sure so were Mrs Puff, Larry Lobster, Pearl, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, and even Spongebob’s parents (who weren’t even in the movie). So if I made one small change, it’ll be this: have Squidward join them on their quest. Now that’ll be something interesting, since throughout the series Squidward has held a big hatred for his two neighbors. And he’ll even move away just to avoid them. And sure, there were moments that he’ll stand up for Spongebob, but other than that, he wants nothing to do with him. So let’s have a moment like when Spongebob tells a frozen Mr Krabs not to worry for him, Patrick, and Squidward… but then Squidward says “pass/no way/not happening”. And then a frozen Krabs states, “Oh, no you don’t. Those two won’t survive on their own. They need a MAN-ager to guide them. Also, help or you’ll lose your bonus.”. And that convinces Squidward to join them. And during their quest, Squidward can quarrel with the two, but in dangerous situations, decides that they must work together. Now meanwhile, we have to have someone figure out what Plankton did to Mr Krabs and Neptune’s crown. So that role can be filled by Sandy. You see, I think the show never dove into the difference between Sandy and Plankton, since both have a love for science, bu my one of them wants to use science for good and the other for their own nefarious purposes. So maybe have Sandy question how The Chum Bucket is so successful now after what happened to Krabs. But Plankton manipulates Sandy due to their love for science and inventing that she decides to work for Plankton, giving him ideas on how to expand the business, leading to him giving out more “free helmets”. But Sandy somehow realizes after putting two-and-two together, that it was Plankton who framed Mr Krabs and so plans to report him to King Neptune. But Plankton activates the helmet brain control and turns everyone to slaves and captures Sandy. But luckily, because Sandy’s own suit is preventing the suit from controlling her brain (because I never understood that in the movie), she finds her way to sneak away and try to warn Neptune. But being more worried about his bald spot, Neptune doesn’t want to listen. But Mindy does, and quickly goes off to warn Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward. Sandy in the meantime, has to find ways to free the people and luckily captures people like Mrs Puff, Larry, Mermaid and Barnacle Boy, Pearl, Gary, and maybe even Spongebob’s Parents, who are still under the helmets control. Sandy creates a blaster that will destroy the helmets and frees the people. Sandy convinces that they must work together in order to stop Plankton. In the meantime, Squidward is still unhappy being with Spongebob and Patrick, but maybe during their chase with the giant red monster, disguised as a ice cream parlor. Maybe Squidward saves Spongebob and Patrick, or vice versa showing Squidward’s change of heart. Movie continues as usual with the trench, meeting Dennis and captured by the Cyclops, and getting nearly killed until they find the crown, a heartfelt moment between the three and defeating the Cyclops, riding Hasselhoff, defeating Dennis, and heading back to the Krusty Krab to save Mr Krabs but Plankton reveals that he had the backup plan of making a helmet for Neptune and the mind control town comes in to attack, but Sandy and the gang arrive all geared up and ready to fight, only for them to be outnumbered and when all seems lost Spongebob has his Goofy Goober rock and roll moment and frees everyone. And Plankton is jailed, and Mr Krabs is released and so on and so forth. Maybe even throw a moment where Spongebob gives his thanks to everyone. The End And that’s the end of Spongebob.
AgentGeek A movie with no video game adaptation doesn't mean it's bad. It doesn't need one to be good. Look at Deadpool. Look at Captain America Civil War. Look at Zootopia. They don't need a video game adaptation to be great. They're great because of how well structured the movies themselves were.
The movie will also hold a special place in my heart, even though it's not one of my favorites. I saw the movie when I was 8 at the time it came out and I've also seen it numerous times. Plus, it was the same night I watched the premiere of Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi after I came back home from the movie. :)
Tomversal That episode terrified me when I first watched it as a wide-eyed 6 year old. As soon as Plankton said "That's it, you just lost your brain privileges!", I went "O-O MOMMY HIDE ME"

Imo I think the movie is fantastic, I've rewatched it thousands of times and it never gets old. That's what opinions are for, though. AND YES!!! I'm not lying, I cry every time I watch that scene, I'm glad someone else does.
Also your not wrong about nick abusing spongebob by airing him all the time along with putting his face on everything in fact the other day in walmart they have spongebob tampons
Wonderful speech you made at the end, Pieguy. Hit the nail on the head there. What a commendable thing you're trying to do with embracing those new episodes. The only one I know I could tolerate was The Earworm episode since it was actually funny. All those other ones..... Eh... I don't want to talk about it.
Idk about all of u guys but I really love the "I heart dancing" episode and I would have never guessed that one of my favorite lines in sb history would come from a new episode: "WHO PUT YOU ON THE PLANET?? UEEGH! *hand gesture*
Yah I did notice that! Aaron springer is just really disappointing now- it doesn't make sense how someone that wrote band geeks episode can produce such vile horrors nowadays :)
Michelle Marino "I Heart Dancing" was probably one of the best episodes post-season 4, yeah. Let us not forget "Treats!," which Aaron Springer actually helped write. Here's hoping he begins to understand what's in-character and out-of-character so he can return to his former glory.
I really hope the movie is good. Then it can finally be redeemed. It's cray cray to think that spongebob hasn't been good for 10 years (since 2004). I'm 16 now so spongebob hasn't been good since my childhood IMO
ok, i know this isn't important, but here is my top 5 episodes 5: night light 4: krabby land 3: chocolate with nuts 2: Krabs a la mode 1: BAND GEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
superDONbros These are my top-10: 10. Help Wanted 9. Reef Blowers 8. Sand Castles in the Sand (I know it's a modern episode. Don't judge me) 7. Just One Bite (This would've been a podium episode if they never deleted that damn security system scene! >:( >:( >:( Blistering fury!!) 6. Something Smells 5. Krusty Towers (My favorite modern episode of SpongeBob to date) 4. Ripped Pants 3. Band Geeks (Yep, the most popular episode of SpongeBob of all time is only #3 on my list) 2. Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy III (Two words: Patrick's wallet(s)) 1. Chocolate w/ Nuts (I found this to be the funniest SpongeBob of all time, and this is a perfect example of if you're not going to focus on one of the main plot sagas of SpongeBob, at least be funny as hell. This is what that was.)
I suggest that, for the upcoming seasons, that you add a "Mega Scumbob" category for the EXTREMELY bad episodes, like Atlantis Squarepantis, A Pal For Gary, and One Coarse Meal.
***** That would be good, but I will say that I rate Spongebob episodes like this: GREAT: The episode goes above and beyond and is really great. GOOD: The episode is enjoyable, but it doesn't go above and beyond. MEH: Nothing bad, nothing good, but overall boring. BAD: The episode is really unenjoyable for several reasons. SCUMBOB: The episode is impossible to watch and after seeing it once I never want to see it again.
It's not just your age group that sees SB has changed so much- I was born a year after SB premiered, but know exactly what you mean and what you're saying. I loved the show growing up, and I hate how it's changed and been abused. Can't wait till your season 4 review.
I think Seasons 6 -8 have really lost what the original show had because of flanderization. Spongebob is _only_ naive. Patrick is _only_ dumb. Squidward is _only_ annoyed by Spongebob. Sandy is _only_ "scientific". Plankton is _only_ a failure. Krabs is _only_ cheap. I haven't seen much of Season 9, but episodes like _Squid Baby_ really show Spongebob and Patrick at their worst: dumb and dumber. But episodes like _Safe Deposit Krabs_ show that they can use these characters's traits to create a good episode. Overall, the later seasons have forgotten what made the original seasons (1-3) good: three-dimensional characters and correct usage of these characters' multiple traits instead of just using one. Remember: *personality is not a joke* either.
Great speech and what you said is true also how you and the people on spongemaina got the personality's right that's how I personally saw spongebob and his friends. I been with spongebob since the beginning so after the movie and during season 4 I have notice the change in the show and personally it never bother me season 4 to me was a good season but I had always notice the change but I have notice that in season 5 onward when I started to hate spongebob and his friends in my opinion they have been turn in to jerks like the episode one coarse meal where mr krabs drives plankton to try and commit suicide or how about squidward in little yellow book where he reads spongebob's dairy or how about patrick in stuck in the wringer where he glues spongebob in his wringer and let's not forget Mrs.Puff in demolition doofus where she trying to kill spongebob and spongebob been turned into a creepy stalker in squid's visit all these character's that I loved from 6yrs old to now 20 with the exception gary, sandy, and plankton are the only likable characters in the whole show everyone else is either an idiot or an asshole also there's too much gross out humor or no humor at all in addition the specials are not ever specials the stories in them are either boring or stupid the biggest example is spongebob your fired I won't spoil anything other than it's stupid (I suggest looking at themysteriousmrenter review on the episode). But through all the crap there is 1 episode that I really like and that is sand castles in the sand. Which is a good episode I really want spongebob to get better or at least end on a good note I mean if it wasn't for that 1 episode plus season 1-4 and the movie I have on dvd I would completely cut cord on spongebob
The Spongebob movie is brilliant, esp. as a work of Gnosticism. Gnosticism is rejection of logic and thrust into a spiritual experience. Spongebob must leave his logical world behind, and he is at the thrust of Neptune, who, let's face it, is a deity on this universe. Through his quest, he meets great monsters and experiences a spiritual upheaval, both literally and figuratively, in Shell City. The quest is completed by Spongebob dying and rising again, not unlike a certain other Gnostic figure. He returns a much wiser and changed sponge from his quest through the spiritual world. You could interpret the guitar from hammerspace as the culmination of his Gnostic upbringing and utilizing it in its truest form. The Spongebob Movie is one of the defining Gnostic works of our time. Even if it disrespects the show and has flaws, this message is one for everyone!
As for Mr. Krabs, I can see what you mean; but I prefer to think of him as someone who's kind in his own right, but has moments of weakness. See, Mr. Krabs like Spongebob both for his money making and the fact that he's so positive keeps customers around. Sure that easily can be interpreted as greedy, but I think of it as Mr. krabs trying to become a more positive person while keeping his cheap ways. The reason that the Krusty Krab's a wreck without Spongebob is because without him, there's no really uplifting thing that keeps customers in. Both like and unlike his modern counterpart, he has a big money addiction, but at least keeps it to a reasonable degree (mostly).
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie was actually supposed to be a finale to the show. The death scene was supposed to be the end of the movie, but they continued it when Nick ordered new seasons. The creators actually still consider it at the end of the Spongebob story.
As of Season 7, there has been 75 episodes rated ScumBob (72 if we're just going by Season 4-7). All we need is 21 more ScumBobs, and then this will...uh...what was my point again?
Funny how you mentioned the guitar deus ex machina. In the PC version of the Spongebob movie, there is a guy who actually had a guitar, and he tells you to go over to the Chum Bucket to complete a side mission. By the time you get back, he was already captured by Plankton and is seen wearing a mind control helmet. Spongebob then takes the guitar for himself, and the pacing for the rest of the ending is very akin to the movie. Spongebob uses the guy's guitar to fight back and succeeds. Also it was a Goofy Goober branded guitar, much like the one in the movie.
OH hears a fun fact about the movie.A Nickelodeon Magazine special promoting the film included a comic story showing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy trying (and failing) to stop Plankton during the events of the movie.I bet you would've like to see that eh PieGuy?
I understand. I actually like a couple Season 4 episodes. I may be a little bias. But I have been a long time used to be Spongeob fan. And I can tell you it's not all bad.(in terms of 4-onwards) There's some diamonds in the rough.I actually like the episode Skill Crane because Squidward actually won when he kept playing that machine and plus when he started to act arrogant he actually got punished for his actions and he deserved it. I also like that Mr. Krabs also got his punishment too for manipulating Squidward to the point of selling his deed to his house. Yeah it's episodes like this that actually makes me understand why Squidward getting tortured in the newer episode fails. Because Squidward doesn't get a break and win. Unlike this episode where he won and I felt happy for Squidward winning. And I also remember like Dunces and Dragons that was a good special and it was epic but still funny for getting the parody right.(unlike Pest of West where it was a cash in to Dunces and Dragons and it was terrible). So yeah Pieguyrulz. I'm glad you don't let your bias ruin the newer episodes. Because I can tell you that a lot of Season 4 I would call good (some even going toe to toe with the original 3 seasons in terms of quality). So yeah I don't know for Season 5 but I think I enjoyed a couple episodes from that season. I would say seasons 6-8 are most likely Scum bobs. and Season 9.... I only seen half of it before I gave up on Spongebob ever being good again. But yeah maybe there will be something good in season 7 and 8. Or for the most part it will be terrible throughout the entire run of those seaons.
Anybody else binge watching the "every episode of spongebob reviewed" after the death of Hillenburg? Also, thank you Hillenburg, you created my childhood, and I could never thank you enough for your creation.
Sandy is just like how you described her in the earlier seasons. In the later seasons (5-8 mainly) she is just like Robotnik from the Sonic the hedgehog movie 2020 but without the funny moments.
I agree with almost everything you've said in this marvelous review. Though I would say that I actually liked how the movie amped up Plankton's villainy. We've never seen that side to him and he comes across as a genuinely frightening antagonist. It raised the stakes massively for the movie. So I like when they flex his evil muscle a little more.
For me the randomness and inexplicable nature of Goofy Goober Rock made it super funny. It (alongside David Hasselhoff) feels more like an intended parody of the Deus Ex Machines trope than actually using the trope as a crutch.
Scourge For Life Yeah. That Was A Good One. However I Hated The Part Where Squidward Ate A Hair And Toe Clipping Krabby Patty. Euck. Other Than That Though, Good Episode. Probably Up There With The Greats.
Speaking as someone who doesn’t care for modern SpongeBob, I’ve never understood the distain towards Sandy’s scientific capabilities. She’s a Texas squirrel that developed a method for land creatures to live at the bottom of the sea, is it really a shock that her mind doesn’t stop at karate and hibernation?
The thing was that there wasn't much build up to Sandy becoming obsessed with science before season 4, with the exception of Sandy's Rocket, but still, that was only one episode. I don't have a huge problem with her becoming a scientist, but the shift to it was way too jarring and sudden.
A lot of people call Mr. Krabs a father figure to Spongebob. But personally, even if we are only talking about the first 3 seasons, I never got that vibe. I never saw Krabs and Spongebob as having a father-son dynamic, maybe partially because Sponegbob’s actual parents are a part of the show (albeit a very small one). I always saw Mr. Krabs's role in Spongebob’s life as sort of a subversion of the typical mentor figure. Mr. Krabs is an older male, a self-made man who has been through a lot and shaped by hard experience (his time in the navy, him working his way up in the fast-food industry, etc.) and seems to have a lot of wisdom and often acts as a mentor to the naïve and youthful Spongebob, giving him advice and guidance through life. But, his advice more often than not tends to be not the best, if not straight-up bad advice, either because Mr. Krabs isn’t as smart as he thinks he is or because he doesn’t actually prioritize helping Spongebob as much as helping himself, because Krabs isn’t the humble, virtuous Obi-Wan Kenobi type, but rather an underwater Scrooge McDuck, specifically the hardened, miserly, tightwad one from Don Rosa’s comics, who tended to give Donald, Hey, Dewey and Louie a hard time, and who you would think would act as a father figure to them but is really just their cankerous employer with a hidden heart. Krabs is a lot like that, but middle class and relying less on his wit and more on shrewd and sleazy “Honest John” business tactics to rake in more profit. And on Spongebob’s side, he idolizes Krabs immensely, as Krabs is the founder of the Krusty Krab and Spongebob loves the Krusty Krab, but like with Kevin, the person Spongebob idolizes isn’t actually that idealized hero Spongebob imagines him as, he is rather shifty but not without a conscience. But since this is Spongebob, he only sees the positive and overflows Krabs’s positive qualities (just like with Squidward). This is just a long-winded way of me saying that I view Mr. Krabs as Spongebob’s penny-pinching boss with a hidden heart and his less-than-stellar mentor figure and idol.
I don't understand; why is it that people hate Spongehenge? It's not great, but it's one episode that I'll watch; it's one of the episodes that doesn't have any of modern Spongebob's sins. And it has what you yourself said, and what I agree with; Spongebob episodes are their funniest when the characters go crazy. Watching Spongebob interact with the first Stone Copy he made of himself, was just so entertaining.
Philip Schindler That's your opinion. Those are some of the best of the season. I'm really happy to see SpongeBob improving. Even though the show was off edge for a few seasons, the show improved greatly in S8. It Came From The Goo Lagoon will probably be awesome.

SBells27 I didn't notice that Sandy and Spongebob meant to be each other in Karate Island. Oh, and thanks anyway. Also, in I'm With Stupid, Patrick just thinks everything Spongebob is saying is all part of the act, but Spongebob means it.
I haven't watched Spongebob since a little after season 3, and I've had a grudge against Nickelodeon ever since they (in my opinion) ruined the show, as well as The Fairly Odd Parents. I grew up with those two shows, and it really did hurt to see them decline so much, so quickly. It didn't help that the other Nicktoons I grew up with were also being cancelled at the time (Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron), but that at least is somewhat understandable. Shows end, and it's sad, but it will happen. In my mind, there's no excuse for the horrible writing quality of the new Spongebob. The show now relies almost completely on weird, random, and gross-out humor, the characters are dumber, more annoying and flanderized to hell, Spongebob's voice is pitched higher, the animation is different, the show is less witty altogether. I find it baffling that ANYONE would still watch it, but hey, I haven't seen it in years. Maybe it has gotten better. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I just hate it because it's different. I don't know. I'm most definitely in the "hate new Spongebob" camp, but after all this time, I am willing to be open minded about the show again. I'm willing to give it another chance. If you do find an episode you think is worth watching, I'll check it out. But even if it HAS gotten better, I'm certain it still won't compare to classic Spongebob. At least not in my mind.
Aurablasé I understand your problem dude but The Newer episodes are FANTASTIC season 9 has a Noticeable improvement over season 6 7 and 8 but season 10 is FONIMINAL It's More Funny and So many people were Positive about season 10 if you Were too try one Newer Spongebob Episode I'd say mimic madness and mall girl pearl feels great too Say modern spongebob is Good again
Quick question does anyone else remember the commercial for this movie where a jellyfish went to see the movie and stung the ticket person? I remember seeing that when I was five and being terrified to see this movie thinking a jellyfish will sting me when I went to see it. XD That never happened but when your five you'll believe anything.
The reason why this didn't become the series official finale and had more seasons is because Nickelodeon couldn't come up with any good ideas, so they brought new writers, new storymen, new animators, new everything who turned the show into the crappy unfunny(sometimes is funny) revived show we know today.
fun fact: this film is Inspiring me to become a Director of Original animated TV shows Theatrical shorts & feature length animated features just like this with my original cartoon characters Mr. Dr. Prof. Albert Von Wiener Schneitzel Count Otto & a host of other original creations of mine!!! :)
I originally thought that spongebob's voice was the same for all seasons when I was little, but now that I hear it closely, yeah spongebob's voice has been pitched.
Awesome review and character analysis. I'm looking forward of your reviews of later seasons and will give them a chance, but the consensus is that the sponge went downhill from here.
Another big part of Spongebob character that you and the others sort of missed is Spongebob's loyalty. Spongebob is extremely loyal. He's loyal to Mr. Krabs and the restaurant. He even helps him date Mrs. puff and takes Pearl to her prom. He shows loyalty to Squidward in many episodes including band geeks where he gets to the town to get together for Squidward. He tries to help sandy with her rocket and feels bad when he treated her poorly in squirrel jokes. He loves his best friend Patrick and tries to help him a lot especially I'm with stupid where he pretends to be stupid to make Patrick look good and the episode where he helps him work at the Krusty Krab. He's even loyal to plankton sometimes defending him when Mr krabs goes to far or in episodes when they're friends. I think he sees good in plankton.
Your description of Patrick reminded me of a quote in the GBA Fire Emblem, where Dorcas has a support Conversation with Bartre: "You are a fool, but you are a well-meaning fool. You make big messes, but your heart is good."
I remember seeing the movie in theaters, it came out when I was 7 and being that age I HAD to see it. It's okay I guess, but ehhh.... I'd rather watch the older episodes. But what it was hilarious to see the look on my parents face when they saw the commercial because they knew they were gonna have to take us. It was priceless! As for the characters I had a teacher that was a lot like Mrs. Puff, only she's got a LOT more Spongebob's to deal with. (AKA the High School Freshmen class.) Boy was I lucky to be one of the few students she liked. :)
Kind of irrelevant, but what you said about Plankton in the movie is very similar to how I felt about Bowser in Super Mario Galaxy. I know Mario characters don't have that much personality in game, but Bowser was never after World domination and to rule the galaxies, he just wanted to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mario RPG's treated his character much better.
![FNAF vs TF2 - Episode 2 [SFM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5b3V2-VLb0/mqdefault.jpg)
Plankton ruling the world is NOT out of character. He's been wanting to do it since the very beginning. In "F.U.N" he imagined himself taking over the city with that jellyfish
and in Sleepy Time when he dreamed about destroying buildings and people's lives
I agree. The attainment of the Krabby Patty formula was always a means to control the world.
Colony Three No that was just him exacterating
Gotta agree, this review was the most cynical review I’ve ever seen of this movie
THANK YOU
I think I know why the Shell City scene was so heartbreaking. (WARNING MAJOR SPOILER) SpongeBob and Patrick are fairly innocent characters and for them to go on this long journey to find the royal crown and to not only fail but die in the process was just too much, but not only did they die but they went out feeling like they accomplished what they wanted to do, proving that even though they were kids they could still do something an adult could do. Also the fact that they went out together like best friends while singing that Goofy Goober song just added to it. That's what I got from it though.
That's a good reasoning, but I got a different vibe from it. When the movie came out, the show had been out for about 6 years, and the characters had become memorable and loved. You knew their personality, and what differentiated them from the real world equivalents. But in that scene, as they dry, so did their personification and you realize what they really are, just a sponge and a starfish. Their child-like wonder and innocence was removed, and showed kids that what they adored are just common, everyday objects. (Except for Sea stars, unless you live on the coast like me.)
Spongebob and Patrick aren't kids... they are adult idiots
Spoiler for a show that came out over 15 years ago at the time of the original comment being made. Why is there a warning.
Even to this day the Shell City scene gets to me. While I know Spongebob and Patrick will come back 15 seconds later, seeing them almost die the way they did makes me cry sometimes
"Spongebob, I've never told anyone this, but I've always sort of liked you!" - Squidward's last words before he thinks he's about to die in 'Graveyard Shift'.
I paraphrased. But he said that!
Christina Hunt Squidward, I used your clarinet to unclog my toilet!
@@alexipanda9505 Huh?
I've noticed this and I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but:
In the first 2 episodes of the series, Patrick Acts like an authority figure for spongebob. In Help Wanted, Patrick helps motivate spongebob and help him get the job. In tea at the Treedome, Spomgebob asks about how he "met this girl" and Patrick basically gives him dating advice.
Again, I may be on the wrong side of right, but that's what I think.
I always liked those traits more; but it's still somewhat present in some premovie episodes.
In Post Movie, Spongebob asks Patrick for advice a lot, but Patrick always gives bad advice
A way to look at this is that while SpongeBob consistently seeks Patrick's advice through the series, the kind of attitude which which Patrick delivers the advice has shifted from brotherly to malicious. In none of the examples listed above was Patrick acting cocky or snide. He was being warm and comforting despite giving incorrect information to SpongeBob, and making the situation worse. Making him rude as well as incorrect is where his character starts to fall apart.
andykishore Patrick was not present in Reef Blower.

I love this movie, and it was a nice and epic way to end the series, but I do see where you're coming from. It would have been nice for some of the other characters to get screen time, like Squidward or Sandy. Your idea about them forming a resistance was brilliant! Where were you in 2004 to suggest this to the writers!? The ending. . . I like it. It came out of nowhere, but it's Spongebob. You can get away with illogical things like that.
I really love how dark this movie got at points. The dark backgrounds, the creepy abysses, the skulls, the monsters, the creepy ice cream lady tethered to that fish monster, and even the bar scene were very edgy (I hate using that word, but I don't feel like getting my thesaurus). It really pushed how much you can get away with in a children's animated film, even based off a cartoon. The only thing that really bothered me about the movie was King Neptune. It's not that he's different from the one in the series, it's that THIS King Neptune is an unlikable asshole. Yes, even his daughter calls him out on his shit, but there is nothing redeemable about him. Even Spongebob calls him out on his overreacting. "Isn't it a little harsh to kill someone over a crown?" I don't know, it would have been better if he had some arc that made him see the error of his ways by the end of the film. But that's just me. Nice review though! :)
This was designed to be buddy movie.
Billy Barnett ok but they could still have given the other characters something to do, like pieguyrulz said.
@@dgxkeyboards4535 Your beloved RUclipsr is an idiot who only enjoys humor
The sad thing is that the "death scene" is quite fitting in hindsight, based on the post movie episodes and Viacom milking them dry and feasting on the tears of the loyal fans
Omg, so meta!
About Plankton's motive, in the original run, there were a few episodes that referenced Plankton wanting to rule the world including Snowball Effect and F.U.N. Granted, they were jokes, but still. It actually is a part of Plankton's character when you get down to it. They just tried to make him an awesome villain in the movie.
You see, I think that's what this guy missed: this is supposed to be what would happen if Plankton did get the formula after all.
@@elijahulrich2023 Yeah. Don't get me wrong; I kinda see where PieGuyRulez is coming from, but the movie's portrayal of him isn't as much of a betrayal to his character as he makes it seem.

I think the thing with Sandy's Rocket is that it wasn't so much a science thing as it was an offshoot of her "extreme" nature.
Space is, of course, the final frontier, so it makes perfect sense that Sandy would see that as the ultimate opportunity to go on an adventure.
I personally laughed at Gary's "Meow Plankton."

Another Fun Fact:
In the movie at the "GOOFY GOOBER ROCK" song. You can hear spongebob say"No,No,No freaking way !
But in the Digital and CD version, he says "No,No,No,No WAY !
And just ignore the " in the No,No,No sentences.
that gave spongebob a better laser-shooting guitar than eaglebones falconhawk of the aquabats.
I think you still hear the former version in reruns of it
And on the Spotify version Spongebob says "No, no, no, no way"
Weird, on the dvd version I had he said "freaking"
YES FINALLY! :D
Oh, my gosh. One of my favorite video game top 10 maker watches one of my favorite cartoon reviewers!

Sup Nathan I'm a Gamer Too
Yeah, it got me too when Spongebob said "We did alright for a couple of goofballs" and also the two teardrops forming into a heart!
From what I hear,Patchy was planned to be the main pirate in the movie but was replaced because Nickelodeon feared that audiences would be turned off by the intentional low production value of Patchy.
DUDE, that Resistance side plot would've made this movie SOOO much better!
It would have made Squidward a badass.
Nah. It would of drained it. Sandy Mrs puff krabs etc would've imo been a lot less humorous. Patrick and spongebob is all we need for this.
+Transformersfan48 a nasty nasty nasty nasty sealord to spongebob and patrick, he should die someday.
+Brady Anderson since when has squidward ever fucking been a landlord? where are you getting your fucking information. I don't even know what you are trying to say please clarify.
A landlord, a grouchy next-door neighbor, a little spook.
What I find funny in the movie is that plankton hires Dennis to step on SpongeBob and Patrick because earlier in the movie SpongeBob Steps on plankton, and scrapes him on the ground, thinking he stepped in gum so he hires Dennis cause he’s tired of being stepped on, so he wants someone else to fill his pain
I agree that a resistance with the other main characters that eventually fails would have been cool rather than just showing them already captured.
I actually have my very own interpretation of Gary in Seasons 1-3.
Gary is somewhat of a tricky character to make out. He's supposed to play the proper persona of a house cat, but he's much more deep that that. I like to call him the precursor to Perry the Platypus from Phineas & Ferb. First off, Gary's signature line is, "Meow," indicating that he's the house cat stereotype. However, in Opposite Day, he barks like a dog, a feat cats would never be able to accomplish. Gary's also not one-dimensional. In The Secret Box, he's shown to be sarcastic and arrogant by saying, "Eee... _no."_ when SpongeBob asks Gary if the plan is a good idea. Finally, Gary's true personality is shown when SpongeBob's hallucinatory clone enters his dream in Sleepy Time. It's shown that Gary is very poetic, preferring to read books made by authors such as Emily Dickinson. He also seems to keep his sarcastic personality with the quote of, "Did you think my shell was full of hot air?" Gary needs this apparent, but not abused, superiority complex to SpongeBob, otherwise he wouldn't be able to outsmart the sponge in episodes like Gary Takes A Bath. "Beware of your wandering eyes, you little poriferan!" Words to the wise, Gary.
+Link, the Hero of the Minish spongebob and patrick are abused by their abusively nasty sealord squidward too much.
Brady Anderson Oh Just Shut Up
@@spongethebest2728 what? It's true!
I think Dennis was a particularly good villain because he was darker and more menacing than the other types of foes Spongebob and Patrick have encountered in the past. He poses a very real threat that couldn't have been brought by someone like Man Ray (a larger than life superhero villain), or Flats (a school bully), or the Strangler (okay, he's an actual murderer... But his tolerance for Spongebob is so low, he'd rather suffer in prison than try and strangle him). Dennis's appearance marks the first instance of an obstacle that Spongebob and Patrick need to end up maturing a little to overcome. He's the type of guy who wouldn't be fazed by Spongebob and Patrick's antics, more willing to just get the job done.
He contributes nothing to the film.
From what I've heard, Sandy being a scientist was in the pitch bible, and was always part of her character dynamic. In fact it actually predates the Karate and Fitness stuff.
What seems to have happened is by the time the show was in development they had both ideas on the table(plus the idea of her being a potential love interest to Spongebob), and in S1 they experimented with a bit of everything. Tea at the Treedome mostly played it safe and did a little of all 3, Sandy's Rocket was about the scientist angle, Ripped Pants was about the love interest and fittness angle. Larry was originally seen as a bit of a rival in that dynamic though so the fittness stuff came through stronger, we got musclebob buffpants.
By the end of S1 they mostly settled on the Fittness angle, as Hillenburg wasn't a huge fan of Spongebob being a romantic character(though he WAS open to testing it out, it's in the pitch bible as a 'potential option' and S1 has most of the shipping-esque scenes) and they had Plankton for the science stuff. Also they had Spongebob get into Karate too, which opened another dynamic for her(That was a later edition, his line in Tea at the Treedome was meant to just be awkward crush small talk, SB was not a figher in the pitch bible, see the stuffed animal weights)
HOWEVER, by the time we get to S4, they've mostly used up a lot of the good Karate and fittness themed plots. There are a few later on(even S4 has Karate Island), but they really front loaded them. And Hillenburg made it very clear he decided against the Love interest thing so that's off the table. So they try the Scientist angle, bringing it back out of retirement in Chimps Ahoy and SquidBob Tentaclepants(both of which got solidly viewed as 'Ok').
S5 temporarily eased back on that, only really referencing her scientist side in Spy Buddies in one scene, trying a few other things like going back to the Fittness angle in 'To Save a Squirrel', or taking advantage of her being a land creature in 'Flea in her Dome', but the latter two episodes flopped hard so from S6 onward they really lean hard into the scientist angle since it was working well, and honestly Sandy got off pretty easy in the flanderization department compared to most of the cast, with the two biggest complaints either being her becoming a borderline Mary Sue or getting a bit unethical at times.
I have mixed feelings about modern SpongeBob.
Original? My ass....is more original than this.

Hi
While I respect your opinion about the movie, I do think most of the complaints where very minor except for the guitar one. First of all, I feel like plankton going full villain was nick's best interest as they wanted to go big on the plot to make it fitting for the big screen and set the events of spongebob and Patricks adventure. Since this was also supposed to be spongebobs finale I think it was a good move. Next, ok, I really don't understand how there's an excessive amount of butt jokes. This isn't breadwinners. I found the jokes to be funny and the nut bar scene was great. Lol. But I think they wanted to focus on just spongebob and Patrick to not only emphasise their "kid situation" but also their teamwork and bond. And look, the whole adventure would need to change to accommodate more buddies. I can't explain, but there's just some charm to just having spongebob and Patrick be the ones on adventure. Also some other things: squidward getting back up like sandy before confronting plankton would actually cause a plot hole. As squidward is unaware of planktons mind control scheme. And back then, squidward was a bit arrogant and probably felt he didn't need anyone. And I think it wouldn't be in character for squidward to join spongebob in an adventure given that he's probably busy writing music and wouldn't want to be near him anyway. Sandy... Would make getting the crown a cake walk as she's a land animal and wouldn't catch the interest of a cyclops, even so, she couldn't be killed since she can survive land and stealthily take the crown. Your complaints are valid in that it could be more, but focusing on more characters could be difficult, especially how this movie is set up.
Callinater Well, the issue there is that they’d need to rewrite the movie a bit. But they’re taking key characters to the series and just pushing them to the wayside, and I really do think that a bit of a rewrite would be a necessary evil.
While these Spongebob videos are awesome, if they really do stress you out, just take your time. They're worth the wait.
I didn't even notice that they pitched up Spongebob's voice...
me neather
Awesome job on this review. Well-worth the wait for sure. I really liked your opinion on the movie. I haven't seen it in a while, but from what I do remember, it's certainly no masterpiece of a movie, even if I do find it enjoyable.
Great character analyses as well. All very accurate interpretations.
I loved how you snuck in the little "Squidward Tortellini" joke there at around 24:30 :D
Nailed that speech at the end too. I eagerly await the next reviews you have in store for us. =)
The reason I cry every time during that scene too is cause picture it like this: these two characters you know and love so much are dying, or at least they feel like they are going to die. And instead of fighting, struggling, or complaining, they sing. They sing a joyful little song that connects them as friends, that makes them happy. In the face of their own demise they smile and sing, and it's heart breaking to see two characters that pure of heart, especially if they are supposed to be dying. They spend their final moments making eachother just a little happier and you can tell it's taking a lot out of them and the fucking fade out of their laughter/singing is usually what breaks me. And in the end their final tears are what saves them.
Just picturing it made me tear up, but I really wanted to put it into words.
Yeah, why don't they use Patchy? He's SpongeBob's #1 fan!
No
Oh Yeah
Don’t get me wrong. While the movie is good, I still feel like it was missing something for it to be a finale. You see a finale needs to be a lot of things, but one thing it needs for sure is CLOSURE. And closure for everyone. One of my issues with the movie is that while it gave room for some development for Spongebob, Patrick, and a bit for Mr Krabs, I was a bit disappointed that Squidward was a bit sidelined. And Sandy was literally sidelined totally, despite being one of the biggest supporting characters of the show. And sure so were Mrs Puff, Larry Lobster, Pearl, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, and even Spongebob’s parents (who weren’t even in the movie). So if I made one small change, it’ll be this: have Squidward join them on their quest. Now that’ll be something interesting, since throughout the series Squidward has held a big hatred for his two neighbors. And he’ll even move away just to avoid them. And sure, there were moments that he’ll stand up for Spongebob, but other than that, he wants nothing to do with him. So let’s have a moment like when Spongebob tells a frozen Mr Krabs not to worry for him, Patrick, and Squidward… but then Squidward says “pass/no way/not happening”. And then a frozen Krabs states, “Oh, no you don’t. Those two won’t survive on their own. They need a MAN-ager to guide them. Also, help or you’ll lose your bonus.”. And that convinces Squidward to join them. And during their quest, Squidward can quarrel with the two, but in dangerous situations, decides that they must work together. Now meanwhile, we have to have someone figure out what Plankton did to Mr Krabs and Neptune’s crown. So that role can be filled by Sandy. You see, I think the show never dove into the difference between Sandy and Plankton, since both have a love for science, bu my one of them wants to use science for good and the other for their own nefarious purposes. So maybe have Sandy question how The Chum Bucket is so successful now after what happened to Krabs. But Plankton manipulates Sandy due to their love for science and inventing that she decides to work for Plankton, giving him ideas on how to expand the business, leading to him giving out more “free helmets”. But Sandy somehow realizes after putting two-and-two together, that it was Plankton who framed Mr Krabs and so plans to report him to King Neptune. But Plankton activates the helmet brain control and turns everyone to slaves and captures Sandy. But luckily, because Sandy’s own suit is preventing the suit from controlling her brain (because I never understood that in the movie), she finds her way to sneak away and try to warn Neptune. But being more worried about his bald spot, Neptune doesn’t want to listen. But Mindy does, and quickly goes off to warn Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward. Sandy in the meantime, has to find ways to free the people and luckily captures people like Mrs Puff, Larry, Mermaid and Barnacle Boy, Pearl, Gary, and maybe even Spongebob’s Parents, who are still under the helmets control. Sandy creates a blaster that will destroy the helmets and frees the people. Sandy convinces that they must work together in order to stop Plankton.
In the meantime, Squidward is still unhappy being with Spongebob and Patrick, but maybe during their chase with the giant red monster, disguised as a ice cream parlor. Maybe Squidward saves Spongebob and Patrick, or vice versa showing Squidward’s change of heart. Movie continues as usual with the trench, meeting Dennis and captured by the Cyclops, and getting nearly killed until they find the crown, a heartfelt moment between the three and defeating the Cyclops, riding Hasselhoff, defeating Dennis, and heading back to the Krusty Krab to save Mr Krabs but Plankton reveals that he had the backup plan of making a helmet for Neptune and the mind control town comes in to attack, but Sandy and the gang arrive all geared up and ready to fight, only for them to be outnumbered and when all seems lost Spongebob has his Goofy Goober rock and roll moment and frees everyone. And Plankton is jailed, and Mr Krabs is released and so on and so forth. Maybe even throw a moment where Spongebob gives his thanks to everyone.
The End
And that’s the end of Spongebob.
I really like your sincerity. It's rather refreshing.

A movie with no video game adaptation doesn't mean it's bad. It doesn't need one to be good. Look at Deadpool. Look at Captain America Civil War. Look at Zootopia. They don't need a video game adaptation to be great. They're great because of how well structured the movies themselves were.

Seriously?! Dammit Nickelodeon, that's NOT funny. That's disgusting.
Well, he _is_ quite absorbent...
If you ever think that Spongebob isn't a marketing scam just remember folks.... There's spongebob Tampons.
oh yeah, he's porous and absorbent alright.

_where do I get them. this is something I need_
Wonderful speech you made at the end, Pieguy. Hit the nail on the head there. What a commendable thing you're trying to do with embracing those new episodes. The only one I know I could tolerate was The Earworm episode since it was actually funny. All those other ones..... Eh... I don't want to talk about it.
*****^ This. Just, so much truth here.
Idk about all of u guys but I really love the "I heart dancing" episode and I would have never guessed that one of my favorite lines in sb history would come from a new episode: "WHO PUT YOU ON THE PLANET?? UEEGH! *hand gesture*
Yah I did notice that! Aaron springer is just really disappointing now- it doesn't make sense how someone that wrote band geeks episode can produce such vile horrors nowadays :)
Michelle Marino "I Heart Dancing" was probably one of the best episodes post-season 4, yeah. Let us not forget "Treats!," which Aaron Springer actually helped write. Here's hoping he begins to understand what's in-character and out-of-character so he can return to his former glory.
I really hope the movie is good. Then it can finally be redeemed. It's cray cray to think that spongebob hasn't been good for 10 years (since 2004). I'm 16 now so spongebob hasn't been good since my childhood IMO

1: BAND GEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is mayonnaise an instrument?
Larry Koopa That is irrelevant, the more important question is is horseradish an instrument?
superDONbros NIGHT LIGHT?!?!?!?! NIIIGHT LIIIIGHT?!?!?!?! Thats one of the worst episodes....
Invader NOA i actually liked it
superDONbros These are my top-10: 10. Help Wanted 9. Reef Blowers 8. Sand Castles in the Sand (I know it's a modern episode. Don't judge me) 7. Just One Bite (This would've been a podium episode if they never deleted that damn security system scene! >:( >:( >:( Blistering fury!!) 6. Something Smells 5. Krusty Towers (My favorite modern episode of SpongeBob to date) 4. Ripped Pants 3. Band Geeks (Yep, the most popular episode of SpongeBob of all time is only #3 on my list) 2. Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy III (Two words: Patrick's wallet(s)) 1. Chocolate w/ Nuts (I found this to be the funniest SpongeBob of all time, and this is a perfect example of if you're not going to focus on one of the main plot sagas of SpongeBob, at least be funny as hell. This is what that was.)
I would've loved this movie even more is they went with the resistance idea.
favorite quote/scene in this film is of course King Neptune saying and i quote "You go to shell City?! *Laughs Hysterically"
I suggest that, for the upcoming seasons, that you add a "Mega Scumbob" category for the EXTREMELY bad episodes, like Atlantis Squarepantis, A Pal For Gary, and One Coarse Meal.
***** That would be good, but I will say that I rate Spongebob episodes like this:
GREAT: The episode goes above and beyond and is really great.
GOOD: The episode is enjoyable, but it doesn't go above and beyond.
MEH: Nothing bad, nothing good, but overall boring.
BAD: The episode is really unenjoyable for several reasons.
SCUMBOB: The episode is impossible to watch and after seeing it once I never want to see it again.
***** You lie...
***** That makes perfect sense! jk
Why can we not get a
Why can we not get along
I definitely agree with you on several terms. Plankton was merely a petty villan, he was never threatening.
It's not just your age group that sees SB has changed so much- I was born a year after SB premiered, but know exactly what you mean and what you're saying. I loved the show growing up, and I hate how it's changed and been abused. Can't wait till your season 4 review.
I think Seasons 6 -8 have really lost what the original show had because of flanderization. Spongebob is _only_ naive. Patrick is _only_ dumb. Squidward is _only_ annoyed by Spongebob. Sandy is _only_ "scientific". Plankton is _only_ a failure. Krabs is _only_ cheap. I haven't seen much of Season 9, but episodes like _Squid Baby_ really show Spongebob and Patrick at their worst: dumb and dumber. But episodes like _Safe Deposit Krabs_ show that they can use these characters's traits to create a good episode.
Overall, the later seasons have forgotten what made the original seasons (1-3) good: three-dimensional characters and correct usage of these characters' multiple traits instead of just using one. Remember: *personality is not a joke* either.
Have you seen any of the latest episodes?
New episode today fyi
I love the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie I’m Giving this Movie 9.3/10
Great speech and what you said is true also how you and the people on spongemaina got the personality's right that's how I personally saw spongebob and his friends. I been with spongebob since the beginning so after the movie and during season 4 I have notice the change in the show and personally it never bother me season 4 to me was a good season but I had always notice the change but I have notice that in season 5 onward when I started to hate spongebob and his friends in my opinion they have been turn in to jerks like the episode one coarse meal where mr krabs drives plankton to try and commit suicide or how about squidward in little yellow book where he reads spongebob's dairy or how about patrick in stuck in the wringer where he glues spongebob in his wringer and let's not forget Mrs.Puff in demolition doofus where she trying to kill spongebob and spongebob been turned into a creepy stalker in squid's visit all these character's that I loved from 6yrs old to now 20 with the exception gary, sandy, and plankton are the only likable characters in the whole show everyone else is either an idiot or an asshole also there's too much gross out humor or no humor at all in addition the specials are not ever specials the stories in them are either boring or stupid the biggest example is spongebob your fired I won't spoil anything other than it's stupid (I suggest looking at themysteriousmrenter review on the episode). But through all the crap there is 1 episode that I really like and that is sand castles in the sand. Which is a good episode I really want spongebob to get better or at least end on a good note I mean if it wasn't for that 1 episode plus season 1-4 and the movie I have on dvd I would completely cut cord on spongebob
its one of my favorite movies of all time
The Spongebob movie is brilliant, esp. as a work of Gnosticism.
Gnosticism is rejection of logic and thrust into a spiritual experience.
Spongebob must leave his logical world behind, and he is at the thrust of Neptune, who, let's face it, is a deity on this universe. Through his quest, he meets great monsters and experiences a spiritual upheaval, both literally and figuratively, in Shell City.
The quest is completed by Spongebob dying and rising again, not unlike a certain other Gnostic figure. He returns a much wiser and changed sponge from his quest through the spiritual world. You could interpret the guitar from hammerspace as the culmination of his Gnostic upbringing and utilizing it in its truest form.
The Spongebob Movie is one of the defining Gnostic works of our time. Even if it disrespects the show and has flaws, this message is one for everyone!
"he returns a much wiser and changed sponge..." Modern Spongebob tends to disagree.
Oh, if only this were the series finale, as it was intended to be!
Wesley Hunt Wow. You are so smart!
I will say this, the first few episodes of Season 4 are quite good, and they do feel like the original series.
As for Mr. Krabs, I can see what you mean; but I prefer to think of him as someone who's kind in his own right, but has moments of weakness. See, Mr. Krabs like Spongebob both for his money making and the fact that he's so positive keeps customers around. Sure that easily can be interpreted as greedy, but I think of it as Mr. krabs trying to become a more positive person while keeping his cheap ways. The reason that the Krusty Krab's a wreck without Spongebob is because without him, there's no really uplifting thing that keeps customers in. Both like and unlike his modern counterpart, he has a big money addiction, but at least keeps it to a reasonable degree (mostly).
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie was actually supposed to be a finale to the show. The death scene was supposed to be the end of the movie, but they continued it when Nick ordered new seasons. The creators actually still consider it at the end of the Spongebob story.
Hahaha yeah right. The show was supposed to end, but there is not a single way that would be the ending.
+PIEGUYRULZ you're probably right, I just remember reading that somewhere and thought it deserved sharing.
+Caroline Slater Stephen Hillenburg left the show after the first movie. Can you guess what happens next?
I remember season 1 episode 1 at 1999 memories
+Caroline Slater after the movie, spongebob's last stand was going to be the finale. but no
As of Season 7, there has been 75 episodes rated ScumBob (72 if we're just going by Season 4-7). All we need is 21 more ScumBobs, and then this will...uh...what was my point again?
His opinion
This leaves one question. What show can fill the Classic-SpongeBob-shaped void in our hearts if not Modern SpongeBob? It feels so different.
Funny how you mentioned the guitar deus ex machina. In the PC version of the Spongebob movie, there is a guy who actually had a guitar, and he tells you to go over to the Chum Bucket to complete a side mission. By the time you get back, he was already captured by Plankton and is seen wearing a mind control helmet. Spongebob then takes the guitar for himself, and the pacing for the rest of the ending is very akin to the movie. Spongebob uses the guy's guitar to fight back and succeeds. Also it was a Goofy Goober branded guitar, much like the one in the movie.
OH hears a fun fact about the movie.A Nickelodeon Magazine special promoting the film included a comic story showing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy trying (and failing) to stop Plankton during the events of the movie.I bet you would've like to see that eh PieGuy?
I understand. I actually like a couple Season 4 episodes. I may be a little bias. But I have been a long time used to be Spongeob fan. And I can tell you it's not all bad.(in terms of 4-onwards) There's some diamonds in the rough.I actually like the episode Skill Crane because Squidward actually won when he kept playing that machine and plus when he started to act arrogant he actually got punished for his actions and he deserved it. I also like that Mr. Krabs also got his punishment too for manipulating Squidward to the point of selling his deed to his house. Yeah it's episodes like this that actually makes me understand why Squidward getting tortured in the newer episode fails. Because Squidward doesn't get a break and win. Unlike this episode where he won and I felt happy for Squidward winning. And I also remember like Dunces and Dragons that was a good special and it was epic but still funny for getting the parody right.(unlike Pest of West where it was a cash in to Dunces and Dragons and it was terrible). So yeah Pieguyrulz. I'm glad you don't let your bias ruin the newer episodes. Because I can tell you that a lot of Season 4 I would call good (some even going toe to toe with the original 3 seasons in terms of quality). So yeah I don't know for Season 5 but I think I enjoyed a couple episodes from that season. I would say seasons 6-8 are most likely Scum bobs. and Season 9.... I only seen half of it before I gave up on Spongebob ever being good again. But yeah maybe there will be something good in season 7 and 8. Or for the most part it will be terrible throughout the entire run of those seaons.
the ressistance thing is awesome
23:46
He flashed an episode card from a season 4 episode.
Glad to see you like Krusty Towers.
Anybody else binge watching the "every episode of spongebob reviewed" after the death of Hillenburg? Also, thank you Hillenburg, you created my childhood, and I could never thank you enough for your creation.
Sandy is just like how you described her in the earlier seasons. In the later seasons (5-8 mainly) she is just like Robotnik from the Sonic the hedgehog movie 2020 but without the funny moments.
I agree with almost everything you've said in this marvelous review. Though I would say that I actually liked how the movie amped up Plankton's villainy. We've never seen that side to him and he comes across as a genuinely frightening antagonist. It raised the stakes massively for the movie. So I like when they flex his evil muscle a little more.
"But, this little nattering noodge...is my friend, and he doesn't deserve to die." - Squidward
The Spongebob Squarepants movie, to me and others who saw it in theatres, is a flawed masterpiece and could have been a perfect end to the series.
i cant wait for your thoughts on my favourite new episodes like The sponge plate and wigstruck and krusty towers and many more
For me the randomness and inexplicable nature of Goofy Goober Rock made it super funny. It (alongside David Hasselhoff) feels more like an intended parody of the Deus Ex Machines trope than actually using the trope as a crutch.
I Saw The Diagram. KRUSTY TOWERS IS A GOOD EPISODE!
Good catch :)
Thanks For Throwing The Viewers A Bone!
I love krusty towers SOO much.Its my favorite new spongebob episode
Scourge For Life Yeah. That Was A Good One. However I Hated The Part Where Squidward Ate A Hair And Toe Clipping Krabby Patty. Euck. Other Than That Though, Good Episode. Probably Up There With The Greats.
YES! That episode is great
Why did they pitch Spongbob's voice?
Ya I agree that was the stupidest thing they ever did
They do it because of © .
T. Goodman Why doesn't Nick own Spongebob?
Idk?
Nick doesn't own spongebob? Wat the heck is Viacom anyways ? Can someone fill me in
Speaking as someone who doesn’t care for modern SpongeBob, I’ve never understood the distain towards Sandy’s scientific capabilities. She’s a Texas squirrel that developed a method for land creatures to live at the bottom of the sea, is it really a shock that her mind doesn’t stop at karate and hibernation?
The thing was that there wasn't much build up to Sandy becoming obsessed with science before season 4, with the exception of Sandy's Rocket, but still, that was only one episode. I don't have a huge problem with her becoming a scientist, but the shift to it was way too jarring and sudden.
I love this movie I agree it's my childhood and I agree on everything you said I'm glad spongebobs getting better
A lot of people call Mr. Krabs a father figure to Spongebob. But personally, even if we are only talking about the first 3 seasons, I never got that vibe. I never saw Krabs and Spongebob as having a father-son dynamic, maybe partially because Sponegbob’s actual parents are a part of the show (albeit a very small one). I always saw Mr. Krabs's role in Spongebob’s life as sort of a subversion of the typical mentor figure. Mr. Krabs is an older male, a self-made man who has been through a lot and shaped by hard experience (his time in the navy, him working his way up in the fast-food industry, etc.) and seems to have a lot of wisdom and often acts as a mentor to the naïve and youthful Spongebob, giving him advice and guidance through life. But, his advice more often than not tends to be not the best, if not straight-up bad advice, either because Mr. Krabs isn’t as smart as he thinks he is or because he doesn’t actually prioritize helping Spongebob as much as helping himself, because Krabs isn’t the humble, virtuous Obi-Wan Kenobi type, but rather an underwater Scrooge McDuck, specifically the hardened, miserly, tightwad one from Don Rosa’s comics, who tended to give Donald, Hey, Dewey and Louie a hard time, and who you would think would act as a father figure to them but is really just their cankerous employer with a hidden heart. Krabs is a lot like that, but middle class and relying less on his wit and more on shrewd and sleazy “Honest John” business tactics to rake in more profit. And on Spongebob’s side, he idolizes Krabs immensely, as Krabs is the founder of the Krusty Krab and Spongebob loves the Krusty Krab, but like with Kevin, the person Spongebob idolizes isn’t actually that idealized hero Spongebob imagines him as, he is rather shifty but not without a conscience. But since this is Spongebob, he only sees the positive and overflows Krabs’s positive qualities (just like with Squidward).
This is just a long-winded way of me saying that I view Mr. Krabs as Spongebob’s penny-pinching boss with a hidden heart and his less-than-stellar mentor figure and idol.
the comedy, the story, the characters, skarlit joanson, and animation are amazing its just a 90 minute episode it gets a 10/10
I don't understand; why is it that people hate Spongehenge?
It's not great, but it's one episode that I'll watch; it's one of the episodes that doesn't have any of modern Spongebob's sins.
And it has what you yourself said, and what I agree with; Spongebob episodes are their funniest when the characters go crazy. Watching Spongebob interact with the first Stone Copy he made of himself, was just so entertaining.
I don't know. Thinking about it, it's not bad, but it's gives off an uneasy feeling. Maybe it's the music or the ending or both.
Lol I like the Squidward tortellini joke you did a good reference to TGSR.
I always cry during the sad scene too.
Philip Schindler That's your opinion. Those are some of the best of the season. I'm really happy to see SpongeBob improving. Even though the show was off edge for a few seasons, the show improved greatly in S8. It Came From The Goo Lagoon will probably be awesome.

Thanks. Nobody likes to be trolled.
SBells27
I didn't notice that Sandy and Spongebob meant to be each other in Karate Island.
Oh, and thanks anyway.
Also, in I'm With Stupid, Patrick just thinks everything Spongebob is saying is all part of the act, but Spongebob means it.
Just wait until you watch One Coarse Meal.
Yeah I heard about that. I agree, that is really messed up. The episode is messed up.
***** I can't wait to see Spongebob say that's he's sorry for what he's down and up. loljk not a bad idea
You Know Mr.Enter, right?
Annnnnnnnd as it turns out from the future. Pieguy did hate the episode but he didn't find *that part* to be the main problem.
I haven't watched Spongebob since a little after season 3, and I've had a grudge against Nickelodeon ever since they (in my opinion) ruined the show, as well as The Fairly Odd Parents. I grew up with those two shows, and it really did hurt to see them decline so much, so quickly. It didn't help that the other Nicktoons I grew up with were also being cancelled at the time (Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron), but that at least is somewhat understandable. Shows end, and it's sad, but it will happen.
In my mind, there's no excuse for the horrible writing quality of the new Spongebob. The show now relies almost completely on weird, random, and gross-out humor, the characters are dumber, more annoying and flanderized to hell, Spongebob's voice is pitched higher, the animation is different, the show is less witty altogether. I find it baffling that ANYONE would still watch it, but hey, I haven't seen it in years. Maybe it has gotten better. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I just hate it because it's different. I don't know. I'm most definitely in the "hate new Spongebob" camp, but after all this time, I am willing to be open minded about the show again. I'm willing to give it another chance. If you do find an episode you think is worth watching, I'll check it out.
But even if it HAS gotten better, I'm certain it still won't compare to classic Spongebob. At least not in my mind.
Aurablasé I understand your problem dude but The Newer episodes are FANTASTIC season 9 has a Noticeable improvement over season 6 7 and 8 but season 10 is FONIMINAL It's More Funny and So many people were Positive about season 10 if you Were too try one Newer Spongebob Episode I'd say mimic madness and mall girl pearl feels great too Say modern spongebob is Good again
Modern spongebob is the new season 3
Quick question does anyone else remember the commercial for this movie where a jellyfish went to see the movie and stung the ticket person? I remember seeing that when I was five and being terrified to see this movie thinking a jellyfish will sting me when I went to see it. XD That never happened but when your five you'll believe anything.
Not me, PieGuy.

The reason why this didn't become the series official finale and had more seasons is because Nickelodeon couldn't come up with any good ideas, so they brought new writers, new storymen, new animators, new everything who turned the show into the crappy unfunny(sometimes is funny) revived show we know today.
fun fact: this film is Inspiring me to become a Director of Original animated TV shows Theatrical shorts & feature length animated features just like this with my original cartoon characters Mr. Dr. Prof. Albert Von Wiener Schneitzel Count Otto & a host of other original creations of mine!!! :)
I originally thought that spongebob's voice was the same for all seasons when I was little, but now that I hear it closely, yeah spongebob's voice has been pitched.
Awesome review and character analysis. I'm looking forward of your reviews of later seasons and will give them a chance, but the consensus is that the sponge went downhill from here.
Well geez, didn't expect a meh movie. I loved it.
Another big part of Spongebob character that you and the others sort of missed is Spongebob's loyalty. Spongebob is extremely loyal. He's loyal to Mr. Krabs and the restaurant. He even helps him date Mrs. puff and takes Pearl to her prom. He shows loyalty to Squidward in many episodes including band geeks where he gets to the town to get together for Squidward. He tries to help sandy with her rocket and feels bad when he treated her poorly in squirrel jokes. He loves his best friend Patrick and tries to help him a lot especially I'm with stupid where he pretends to be stupid to make Patrick look good and the episode where he helps him work at the Krusty Krab. He's even loyal to plankton sometimes defending him when Mr krabs goes to far or in episodes when they're friends. I think he sees good in plankton.
Spoiler alert: Some character cards might be from upcoming season reviews
lol, "driving you crazy" because Mrs. Puff is a driving teacher, and SpongeBob always fails at driving
Your description of Patrick reminded me of a quote in the GBA Fire Emblem, where Dorcas has a support Conversation with Bartre:
"You are a fool, but you are a well-meaning fool.
You make big messes, but your heart is good."
I never thought this movie and finding nemo were released close together...
I remember seeing the movie in theaters, it came out when I was 7 and being that age I HAD to see it. It's okay I guess, but ehhh.... I'd rather watch the older episodes. But what it was hilarious to see the look on my parents face when they saw the commercial because they knew they were gonna have to take us. It was priceless! As for the characters I had a teacher that was a lot like Mrs. Puff, only she's got a LOT more Spongebob's to deal with. (AKA the High School Freshmen class.) Boy was I lucky to be one of the few students she liked. :)
I used to bawl when Spongebob and Patrick dried up in that one scene as a kid every time I watched the movie xD
When I was watching the movie when I was...9 I never got sad during the shell city part cuz I knew they'd be fine XD
Fucking Finally! This Was Well Worth The Wait!
Kind of irrelevant, but what you said about Plankton in the movie is very similar to how I felt about Bowser in Super Mario Galaxy. I know Mario characters don't have that much personality in game, but Bowser was never after World domination and to rule the galaxies, he just wanted to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mario RPG's treated his character much better.
We should hang out more often
I can say the same thing for Sticker crap.
Galaxy’s very flawed when you think about it…
Has anyone played the spongebob movie game
It's awesome
+Caden Gaticam That and Battle For Bikini Bottom were straight up childhood.....and the PC Point and Clicks.
It's good but I played the PC Point-and-click which was bad, and I dunno why I liked it.
yes I have
i own the xbox game and its good but really hard
Gba port
Mrs.Puff also appeared in Patty Hype
and Life Of Crime.
you won't see her there.
36:06-36:14 - That explains why people hate One Coarse Meal and Plankton's Regular.
36:07-36:13
