@@train4292 what about the deleted alien cat storyline for the movie

@@Matsnat64 huh

@@train4292 im jealous

Or, better yet, don't have it be a Las Vegas type place. Make it more like a village. King Poseidon is shown that he cares about himself a lot more than anyone else, so maybe have it be run down and decrepit.

So they pull a Mauna loa then?

Maybe have it be considered a "lost" city, as anyone who enters never leaves to tell people about it. Be it getting swept up in all the attraction, or executed/forced into slavery for breaking one of the plethora of rules.

or las and lost sound simmilar so have someone from the city say "yeah that mixup happens alot. this is the LAS city of Atlantis." cementing it being some vegas substitute even more

What if it is "lost" because nobody who ever visited it came back because they became too addicted to gambling and fun, like in the montage?

"spongeboy me bob keep working on them patties or u won't get your slice of bread for the week arg arg arg arg arrrg"

​@@mattwhaley1865 i just watched online and this movie was a fucking dissapointment i liked the 1st and 2nd movie better but the 2nd movie sponge out of water was waaay too underrated and underappreciated

@@MaherandIbrahimsAvengers ai I could never hurt the lad! His absence has taught me that much

It’s a reference to Wigstruck where Spongebob jokes that he knows “what cool is” because Squidward has locked him in the freezer.

WHAT

@@whatthehelldoiputhere the fabled double retcon

Alternate timeline theory

Yeah..while I don't care for the movie, that bit absolutely makes sense. It's a trope even: The villain or hero finally achieves their victory, but everything feels empty. Hell, for an example of this in action: Eggman in the IDW Sonic comics(And by extension, the actual Sonic canon) has pointed out that the reason why he keeps doing this specific song and dance with Sonic is because it's a matter of pride for him, he needs to beat Sonic on his own terms and (in his own words) "prove himself superior". The Joker in Batman has this, too. Plankton didn't prove himself superior here. He didn't show that Chum Bucket was better, he didn't overcome Krabs(Who is his nemesis, while Spongebob is the obstacle). He just took a bottle from a sad, old man.

The animation was done by Mikros Image, who also animated The Little Prince and the Captain Underpants movie.

It’s to bad it’s basically a sellout movie. What can be said? Actually, that basically describes the entire SB franchise. I mean, prove me wrong. But If you like modern SB all round then that’s great for you. I’m not trying to hurt someone here. I wouldn’t have an issue with, you know, *gestures at previous comments* If it just was it’s own show! Really. Take modern SB character types, but put them in their own show. THAT would both stop old fans from being mad while keeping new ones in. But noooooo. The showriters (yes I know I spelt that bad) have to base it of a huge franchise, that has lots of fans and notoriety and money. Doesn’t that tell you something about the quality, or at least the intention behind modern spongebob? Why did I make this 3 comments?? *goes to copy paste*

@@julie.d1840 Good analysis

That animation looks so good

I love how expressive it is. Especially since new spongebob is the same but very obnoxious and over the top, this is quite more grounded. Honestly a shame it was wasted with such a weak plot.

Agreed.

Same for me

And the last piece of Spongebob Media we ever got

@@epicxx7699 season 4, season 10 and 11

y e s

Literally nothing in Kamp Koral makes sense. - SpongeBob & Patrick have been friends for life. - SpongeBob met Sandy in season 1. - Spongebob got Gary from a snail adoption centre, not from his childhood (Otherwise, Gary would be really old/dead). - Squidward being only a few years older than the rest of the cast makes 0 sense. He is at least 10-20 years older than SpongeBob. He also should be working at the fancy Krusty Krab along with that one fry cook everyone liked. - Krabs and Plankton shouldn't be that young (They're literally 60-70 in the main show), and them being counselors makes no sense. Friend or Foe's flashbacks had occured 40 years prior, by this point they both have their restaurants and Krabs is very successful. - From what I've heard SpongeBob INVENTS the Krabby Patty, which goes against LITERALLY EVERYTHING ESTABLISHED SINCE DAY ONE. Krabs and Plankton invent the Krabby Patty as a mistake, and ONLY EUGENE KNOWS THE SECRET. The only thing SpongeBob does is make the burger, but the meat itself is done by Krabs. The reason why SpongeBob is hired is because he's exceptionally adept at making burgers in mere seconds.

That's all just a misinterpretation. Yes, Stephen has stated that he wanted the first movie to be the end of the show, but people interpreted it as the first movie being the last thing in the timeline. That misinterpretation has been spread so much that it's considered true by the fanbase, even though it isn't.

Well Steven hillenburg explain this we see Mindy in SpongeBob episodes after the movie so the movie took place before the show

@AlphaMel-2000 No. Like i've mentioned in my previous comment, it's a misconception. Stephen intended the first movie to be the end of the show, not the canonical end.

So this means that Movie 2 and Movie 3 takes place before The First Movie...

So, even before he passed we had tidbits in the show that placed eps after the movir due to either mindy just being there the crown and so on. The show moved passed the movie already

Yeah your not wrong to be honest though my favorite one is the 2nd one I love the 1st one too

Goofy goobers

wait dude, that came out in 2004? I would've been 3. I didn't see that movie years later. and I thought it was brand new. it seriously aged well. doesn't look crap at all.

Facts

Yes because it was supposed to be the last episodes so they had to go all out

that...makes alot of sense

@A Simple Nerd “fun fact Spongebob has down time on Sandy”, I just inadvertently created 20 fan fictions

Ikr that's kinda of confusing maybe the sponge, takes breaks or get occasion time off screen.

yeah are all the episodes of him goofing off not canon or something

That's why I like them, but I still kinda liked that one due to how randomly it came out

Why they couldn't use "Barnacles" or "Clams" or "Tarter Sauce" as swear words here is beyond me.

The dolphin swears are more natural.

I gotta enjoy them dolphin censors those "We crack up the dolphin nosies!"

Or he could of said what in king Neptune is that

Thats actually smart

Yeah. or, plankton is not as smart as he thought he is. Check out all of his schemes in the show. One of the episodes spongebob described a krabby patty and plankton jumped out of him about to eat it, but bounced off into that machine. Plankton: 1% evil 99% hot gas

....a film theory

A film theory

...a Game Theory!!!

Good lord it’s been 7 years?! I’m so old...

*6

Sponge out of water is 7 years old!? It felt like it was released 3!

6 years actually

Was it a banger though? At least in my perspective, it didn't have the same vibe as the first. I guess I wanted Sponge Out of Water to continue SpongeBob's arc from the first movie, along with elements from that first film. To me, Sponge On the Run was the closest to feeling like a direct sequel to the 2004 film in terms of story, character development and tone, which is why it's disappointing that Paramount made this a streaming exclusive rather a hybrid release, something that both Disney and Warner Bros. are already doing. But I can understand why you don't like it, there are a lot of story and character problems that maybe needed ironing out with a few more drafts, and hell, I would've loved to see the story with the cats just to see how it would've turned out.

Actually the show Kamp Koral explained how sandy could meet Spongebob in the future and in the past. Watch episode 4 Kitchen Sponge. Do you mind if I give you spoilers?

@@icecreamhero2375 no, not at all. Please continue.

@@aduckwithayoutubechannel In Kamp Koral Plankton is in charge of the cafeteria and isn't evil yet. Spongebob was helping in the kitchen and invented the Krabby Patty too early. Spongebob could only remember the formula if he wrote it down on a piece of paper. Plankton then tried to steal the formula. Past sandy destroyed the formula. Present Sandy told past sandy to go to Kamp Koral to keep the secret formula from being discovered too early.

Or in the movie Mr cabs talks about how spongebob encouraged him to open his own restaurant, but there was a whole episode of the backstory between him and plankton + The Krusty Krab

yea

If that's the case, then they didn't do a good job setting that up.

I thought it was that the city used to be lost, but like in pop culture everyone heard about it and tried to find it, so it wound up being a tourist trap that still calls itself lost because that's what drew people to visit in the first place, it's sort of their brand.

I was thinking that too, or that it was like kind of a pun/word play of the cities of los angels/Los Vegas

Lost Atlantis (City of The Lost)? I think that moniker would be easier to understand.

@🔱𝓞𝓬𝓮𝓪𝓷 𝓜𝓪𝓷🔱 is that because you can dethorn and cook them?

Or how about the fact that they actually had child actors to play younger versions of Spongebob and the gang while Kamp Koral brought in the usual voice actors? Not to say that Tom Kenny and the rest of the cast sucked, but it's pretty distracting.

Ik that bugs me so much

Or that sandy doesnt wear glasses and braces in the movie

@@michaelstrong5383 kamp koral takes place one year after the movie's summer camp i believe

@@misclik_ Man, puberty really hit these characters like a ton of bricks if that were the case.

My thoughts exactly. That scene existed only because the other two movies had scenes that take place on land too, but they at least serve a purpose in each story.

That Snoop Dogg cameo was bad(don't hate snoop,just hate him in the movie.David Hasslehoff cameo was good because they parodied celeb cameos by making him this godly figure.This just felt so cliche.

@@mr.badass9442 Why the heck would they put Snoop Dogg in a movie like this?? Like what???

@@iamtoychica4302 Snoop dogg probably either high before and during or he's going broke man 😂😂😂

They shoulda replaced him with a bottle of Dogfish Head and it wouldn't have been any different.

I agree, and it kind of makes sense considering how he did seem to go through a character arc in the previous movie where he realizes that the Krabby Patty is what brings everyone together and wanting it for himself rather than sharing it is selfish and he helps SpongeBob get it back. (Though he does later attempt to steal it again, but I guess old habits die hard, huh) In any case, it does seem like Nickelodeon as of late has been making Plankton less of an evil character and more of a morally grey character. He’s too “bad” to be “good”, but he’s also too “good” to be “bad”. He’s been considered a friend by SpongeBob several times, and he does seem to consider SpongeBob a friend as well, though he seems a bit too stubborn to admit it outright. I think this sort of character direction is really interesting and honestly quite welcoming to me, it’s nice to see Plankton, who’s had quite a lot of abuse on the show, finally have some friends and start to realize maybe the thing he’s been after for so long isn’t what he really wanted. He just wants people to enjoy him and his restaurant as much as they do the Krusty Krab.

@mohamed zayan like megamind

Hi Rex (your pfp)

My answer was a bit different he could just try to make krabby patty’s but they come out awful and he realizes he needs spongebob to make them which is why he goes on the trip

As someone for whom Plankton has been their favorite character for a while now, I actually like that he was so petty that he couldn't accept victory if it didn't get a satisfying enough reaction out of Krabs. Also keep in mind that Krabs himself is fundamentally altered to be more like his S1 counterpart and actually care for SpongeBob, which I think EVERYONE prefers to how he's been characterized ever since.

Or just do what the second movie did.

He also kept the plot moving forward

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know xx

he's at least 10 years older than the 2 of them considering he was working at the Krusty Krab before Spongebob was even born

In Kamp Koral he is a camp counsler and in the Patrick show he is a teen and older than Spongebob and Patrick.

Thats what me and my friend tougrh like squidward gotta be like 30 and spongebob 19

Squidward is probably in his 30s while SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy are in their early 20s. Pearl is a teenager and Krabs and Plankton are in their 30s-40s ( Krabs might be in his 50s since he seems a bit older than Plankton.

Hi iggy

Yeah. It had everyone working together, even the villain (which is kinda cringe cuz plankton in reality, would steal the formula if the had it in the end) And it's also kinda goofy at times. It has the amount of spongebob charm that everyone needs in a movie. However, if Stephan Hillenburg rose from the dead and saw this, I think that they would give everyone more than a talk.

That movie is so underrated which is sad cause I really like the second movie

I would have been fine if Spongebob met only Gary and Patrick in summer camp as kids, but then he just so happened to meet everyone else there too. There's serendipity and then there's this.
