Not to get political but I genuinely care so much about SpongeBob. It’s a zombie that’s taken on a whole new life form after Nickelodeon spammed the SpongeBob button following Stephen Hillenburgs death. The 2004 movie was its INTENDED FINALE and now?????I think Nickelodeon is going to keep it going probably they may stop when the voice actors die but I don’t see it ending soon. Nickelodeon is desperate because the don’t have much else. They sunk everything in Butch Hartman shows and others with the only thing consistently popular being that show. The movies are acting as a life line, spinoff shows. We are seeing a dying God and it’s not good
After the first movie Stephen Hillenburg eventually relented to continue the show. So yeah i agree. Even in the dark ages of seasons 6-9 the show still kind of had its essence despite spamming gross out humor. It was only truly after his passing that the show mutated into the living corpse of a 90s cartoon and its two devil spawn spinoffs we see now. I’m not even saying modern SpongeBob is BAD, it’s a perfectly serviceable and generic kids show. But it’s just. Not the same show at all anymore n
