Ok, I'm REALLY sorry to do this to Spongebob. Rest in peace Stephen, but after he died, this show just went downhill. Literally each episode gets worse every time. Why you may ask? I'll tell you.
1. Spongebob becomes more idiotic and gross
2. Squidward becomes more sarcastic and mean to the point where it's not even funny, and shows no heart to Spongebob whatsoever. (He did that in older Spongebob episodes).
3. Patrick along with Spongebob becomes more idiotic and gross. Not to mention he's been becoming more of a jerk then a friend to Spongebob every episode.
4. Sandy becomes more idiotic and gross to make kids laugh. (Pretty sure they aren't even giggling)
5. Larry becomes more of a Chad then a nice regular buff guy
6. Pearl becomes more bratty and "Teenager-like", (not funny)
7. Plankton rarely even steals the formula anymore like they gave him a life or something
8. You may be wondering why I haven't added Mr. Krabs to this list. Well he's been a bad apple from the start. But I'm adding him anyways because he's a horrible person
9. Mr Krabs becomes more selfish, neglectful, and harsh towards his employees, friends, and even his own DAUGHTER
10. Eh, nothing wrong with Gary. Just the animation makes him less enjoyable to watch and laugh at
Ok time to move onto the plot on some episodes. It's HORRIBLE. I don't care what you guys say, the worst Spongebob episode is "One Coarse Meal". It's about Plankton getting tortured, making him feel unsafe in his OWN HOME, stalked, and even DRIVEN TO SUICIDE because Mr. Krabs finds out Plankton has Cetaphobia. (A fear of Whales). Wow. All of that in one episode on a KID'S SHOW? How did that get past the Nickelodeon censors?
Ok now time to talk about the modern day Spongebob animation. 1st of all it's HORRIBLE. I almost threw up watching season 12 because of the horrible animation. I just couldn't do it! I took 6 breaks from the animation in total because of how unpleasing it was to the eye.
It's so saddening that such a beautiful, child-hood building show has turned into this groggy, freak-ish, disturbing, cash grab of a nightmare.
Do better guys. :/
