Critical Look at ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ from Then to Now: Analytical Essay

Now I would have ended the show after the st movie because it was the perfect ending and was supposed to actually be the ending. But due to the high ratings and success of the show, it would be dumb for Nickelodeon to end a popular show. Also, the characters became trait shells of their older selves. For example, Mr. Krabs was cheap in the old episodes but in the post-movie episodes, they took in up to for no reason. Also, they made SpongeBob who used to be an adult who acted childishly. Into an annoying mess. Patrick used to be dumb but a kind friend into a mean jerk. The only characters that didn’t change much were Squidward and Plankton.

If this was made in 2005 or 2006, it would have made more sense, it was when SpongeBob was at its peak of popularity. Which, in my opinion, was from 2002-202 AND, it destroys the continuity of the show I thought SpongeBob first met Sandy in the episode Tea at the Tree Dome in Season , and the same goes for Plankton they first met in the episode Plankton! of Season . It feels like a cash grab. But who knows? Maybe the show will be amazing.
