A Defense of Modern SpongeBob | SpongeBob SquarePants | Know Your Meme

sywing what the f------ hell is happening at nickelodeon im honestly really f------ scared and concemed for whoever the f--- is working on spongebob right now Okay, let me explain you kids a thing This is Stephen Hillenburg PAN Spongebob series creator and original showrunner He ran the show from 1999 through 2004 (shortly after the first Spongebob Movie) up until the third season finished After the movie came out, he wanted to end the series, for fear that it would jump the shark if it went on any longer. Unfortunately Nickelodeon had other plans, and requested more episodes to be made. So Hillenburg resigned from his position as showrunner and appointed Paul Tibbit So all those episodes we all love to quote from our childhood? Those were all Hillenburg-era, anything after the Movie came out, is when the show started really going downhill that's really f------ depressing oh my god Okay, I refuse to reblog the original post for a number of reasons, but I cannot keep quiet about this theawesomeadventurer and psywing and all other modern SpongeBob haters? Listen up 1. That picture is taken completely out of context from the official Nickelodeon website. The actual episode it comes from, "Kenny the Cat," is actually quite decent. Even Mr. Enter, Nick's harshest critic, thinks it's good. In context, those looks only appear for a few seconds and are meant to be creepy. Patrick even reacts to it accordingly. Fearing something from this show for how it looks is just silly, especially considering the designs I've seen on more popular shows like Adventure Time and Gravity Falls. As SpongeBob once said, "You've got to stop judging people by the way they look 2. I'm not saying SpongeBob hasn't seen better days. It's obviously not as good as it was during the original three seasons, but that doesn't mean it's always bad. Even with the horrendous episodes it's had in recent years Boating Buddies," "A Pal for Gary," and others), it's had a few gems here and there, like "Plankton's Pet" and the second Christmas special Hillenburg not being as involved in them doesn't make them all automatically bad 3. Paul Tibbitt gets blamed a lot for being the one who ruined SpongeBob, but he's not that at all. He's trying his best to keep the show going strong. It's just hard to do when a lot of the show's original staff moved on to other projects and the network keeps demanding more seasons. Remember this the next time you think about threatening him on Twitter or something 4. Just because Stephen Hillenburg stepped down from his original position doesn't mean he left entirely. While he doesn't have as much control anymore, he's still on the staff as an executive producer. I will admit he's not entirely happy with how the show's been going since then (he's even commented on how Mr. Krabs is a bigger villain than Plankton now), but that doesn't mean he doesn't at least try to keep things on the show going his way. Heck, he' movie, which looks pretty good from what I've seen. s even supervising the writing and story of the second 5. If anyone's to blame here, it's Nickelodeon. As much as I love their animated output even to this day, the way they run the network is pretty embarrassing, namely how they won't give up certain shows even when they should be finished. Keep in mind, this is directed at the network. The animation studio it owns is just fine, albeit with some flaws of its own. My apologies if I sound too defensive or hostile. I just wanted to get this off my chest and clear up some common misconceptions about modern SpongeBob. Like I said, it's far from being like the old days, but it's not all that "depressing. "Don't let Hillenburg's somewhat-departure stop you from finding some good in it. A lot of artists on the show really are trying Posted 16 hours ago 26 notes
