I feel like the whole "show actually takes place on Neptune" angle of this theory is totally unnecessary and just makes the entire thing way less believable. If you take that aspect out you have a pretty plausible theory about the theology of Bikini Bottom. And why ignore the obvious climate change aspect? They're underwater so what you see as wind are really ocean currents. Bikini Bottom is destroyed by shifting ocean currents, which could also explain the characters' erratic behavior towards Spongebob, as well as the change in behavior in the jellyfish and maybe even a physiological change in Spongebob, causing him to produce vibrations as water flows through his body. Polar melt absolutely has an effect on ocean currents, so this adds up pretty neatly to me. Why bring a different planet into the mix? Just to explain where a single nameless side character came up with the name Neptune?

[@0Flingyding0]

There is something I think you're neglecting: The Clash of Triton. In that episode, the whole tension between Neptune/Poseidon and his son is that Neptune wants to teach his son to *terrorize the mortals below*, while his son wants to be kind and help the mortals cure their diseases and such. The "this episode is Neptune/Poseidon's revenge" theory is still plausible when we take _that_ episode's Neptune/Poseidon into account, since he absolutely seems like the type who'd wipe out Bikini Bottom for an unknown reason.

All because it doesn't show another character afterwards doesn't mean anything, we see the Krusty Krab blow away which could say something about its cheap foundation because Mr. Krabs is cheap so while still in the same storm it would be left as is because why try to rebuild something when you don't have control over the bad weather? You're not gonna go build a house during a hurricane. The town overall looks in good shape despite the wind going on, if everyone were to die or whatever then the amount of time suggested would also mean the towns in very bad shape due to the wind but that's not the case. Overall everyone's fine and the only one to get hit hard was SpongeBob

[@j_citrus8999]

I've recently taken an Ancient Humanities class, and we spent a good couple of weeks thoroughly analyzing Stonehenge, and the religious and cultural meanings for its construction, and this video made me realize that the grim ending of this episode has a lot of roots in ancient Neolithic culture, whether it was intentional or not. Individuals who have studied Stonehenge have determined that it was a site to honor ancestors who had passed away. By looking at African cultures, as well as some other Neolithic cultures, it was concluded that the usage of stone was linked to ideas of death, which backs this claim. Archaeologists have dug up human bones around the site as well, so it was at least somewhat used as a burial sight. Clearly, Stonehenge is meant to represent these ideas, but that's not all. Every year during the summer solstice, the rising sun shines directly down the center axis of the monument, and through something called a Heel Stone, which is a HUGE deal to ancient cultures. Having the sun line up on a solstice or equinox with a grand sculpture meant it was important. (Another example would be the Great Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre.) Basically, Stonehenge was used to track the of the various cycles of nature, whether it be the seasons, or the the moon phases, or otherwise. So, why mention all this? It's because there were celebrations held at Stonehenge because of these qualities, and one almost certainly happened during the summer solstice every year. It is eerily similar to the situation at Spongehenge. The aliens mention how the jellyfish gather there every year, and we can clearly see them dancing and swimming all over the place in a sort of celebration. The aliens even call it a migration, which means that it is possible a summer migration that could fall in line with the solstice. Spongebob's unsettling sculptures also reinforce the idea of death, just as the original Stonehenge did. He uses stone, and when he finally escapes his cave, he sees Bikini Bottom and the Krusty Krab deserted. Gone. Passed. Spongebob has unknowingly constructed a monument honoring his past life, which no longer exists. There's more to be analyzed when it comes to the state of the Krusty Krab. It's not as well known, but there existed a wood sculpture similar to Stonehenge only 2 miles away from Stonehenge, down the River Avon, located at Durrington Walls. People have dubbed it Woodhenge. It was the opposite of Stonehenge. Obviously, it used wood, and it framed the setting sun on the summer solstice, rather than when it was rising. It is believed that this site was a companion site to Stonehenge. Stonehenge would be the place to honor death, while Woodhenge would honor life. There were rituals held here too, as the bones of cattle were found in the area of the structure. People feasted here. This structure unfortunately no longer exists, because, well, wood doesn't hold up as well as stone. So, it can be said that Woodhenge has a link to this episode as well. Where does Spongebob enjoy to be through many of the episodes in this show? Where does he spend a great chunk of his life? The Krusty Krab, which is made out of wood, and it's where people feast on food. See the connection? Spongebob considers his job as a fry cook to be very much linked with his very existence, and he even runs towards the establishment before anything else when he escapes. He doesn't consider checking how his house is, or if Gary is okay. He goes to work. What does he see? A destroyed and withered Krusty Krab. Spongebob's Woodhenge, his structure representing life, was destroyed and lost by time, just like our real world equivalent. It is Stonehenge, and in Spongebob's case, Spongehenge that remains. It is likely that these connections were completely unintentional, but I find it uncanny how many Neolithic connections there are in this episode. Thanks for reminding me this episode exists, it was fun to analyze it under this context, as well as view your theories.

[@PleaseDoNotDoThis]

Just a small disagreement on your suggestion that maybe the jellyfish come back to torture & abuse SpongeBob since he "used them as food & prey" for so long. Throughout the series Spongebob makes it clear he adores & respects jellyfish, he typically catches & releases them & in rare instances collects some of their jelly to use for recreational purposes before then releasing them. There's been many instances where other characters will abuse jellyfish whether for profit or simple annoyance to which then Spongebob is usually found on the moral high ground of the episode. The jellyfish themselves throughout the series are naturally aggressive & defensive creatures usually stinging & chasing away perceived predators in which most cases there is no real threat so it's safe to assume that in this episode there's no reason for them to act any different than they have always acted. Just a thought.

[@chloeleal8393]

So true, SpongeBob always had a special relationship with jellyfish, but them acting out in this episode couldt be a sort of message towards debunking like heroic veganism and showing that without institutional and cultural ground both, nature still has a threshold for its abuses and retaliates blindly. Hauntingly reminiscent of the fundamental misunderstanding of viral diseases like COVIID when people say "but I did x, y, and z for so long and went on vacation and THEN got it." as though systems in nature record patient history. Super dark for a show like this to narrate an episode of a genuinely well intentioned character suffering the deepest degrees of his ideals to the point of madness, even down to a jellyfish.

@@Benjamin-rj7ds it's heavily influenced, but Neptune was probably a etruscan God originally that the Roman's fused with poseidon when they conquered Greece. That's pretty much all the Roman gods, except for the ones that have no Roman names, because there was no etruscan equivalent (such as apollo). For example, pre Greek conquering Minerva was more of a mercantile/craft kinda goddess and only took on the war like aspect when she fused with Athena.

This theory would be much more believable without the part about the show taking place on Neptune. Neptune is not habitable for what you see in the show. The implied "water" on Neptune does exist, but sea life similar to what we see on the show can't exist in Neptune's "Water". Not to mention that Neptune is far away from Sun, and gets very small amounts of sunlight, so the uninhabitable water is also frozen. I think that this episode points towards climate change a lot more than the show taking place on Neptune. Ocean currents from rising sea levels can cause that wind that destroyed Bikini Bottom, and because of further activity on land, this can also cause the currents to continue from rising sea level. This is still kind of a weird theory, but it's way more solid than the Neptune thing Edit: I’m seeing people being like “well the show is ridiculous so it might be true”. At the same time, the theory’s core reasoning isn’t true. The entire reason he said it was on Neptune is because Neptune is windy. But they’re underwater. Wind doesn’t go underwater, so it’s obviously water currents. Plus, there’s tons of evidence pointing to the episode being on earth: -Sandy is from Texas -There’s an island above Bikini Bottom we see in every episode -They zoom out to reveal that they’re on Earth a few times -There’s a pirate character who is in the water and is clearly human, not adapted for life on Neptune Plus, this episode seems fairly serious, so the wackiness of the show taking place on Neptune seems too silly for this episode

[@9domi99]

Right. Wrote sth similar. According to wikipedia it's even worse. Worse like -200°C atmosphere ontop and superhot high pressure fluid of water, ammonia, methane and some rock particles below with a layer in which even the atoms of water are split up. Appearantly the core is actually producing heat for the mantle.

[@CS-us1xf]

Agreed. The Neptune part has no supporting evidence whatsoever. Not only that, but his argument start off wrong. Its not wind, this isn't wind at all. They are underwater in an ocean. These are currents. Currents change all the time. You can easily explain all of this as a change in current pattern causing what used to be a calm water area to become uninhabitable or not suitable for the animals that lived there. Change in currents can be caused by earth quakes for instance. So its totally more believable and easily explainable that an earth quake cause a change in the ocean currents that lead to the destruction of Bikini Bottom.

The idea that this takes place on Neptune has little to no supporting evidence, you seem to be taking this episode more literally than you should be. The wind could definitely be a metaphor, it flew through him making music that came with jellyfish which ended up tormenting him. This episode can be seen as a metaphor for fame, with the wind being the content he creates and the jellyfish being the fans that love it. Just like in real life, the fame came unasked for, it was fun at first but soon he couldn't leave his house without being recognized. His job that he loved was no longer possible with the fans that he now has, his friends now have left him for "being a bad influence" or in other words "fame has changed him". The cave that he runs off to is the new home he hids in, growing so lonely that he starts to "create" music again, in the form of building a statue. When he tries to return home, his home is gone, the simple life that he once loved he can never return to. The statues he creates are his albums, celebrated thousands of years into the future as masterpieces that the jellyfish called them to be. I believe that this episode does have a meaning, a meaning about fame and what it can do to someone, the legacy someone leaves behind, and how its original meaning can be lost in time. It may be about religion, or the worship we give to the people who create. But it's definitely not about how bikini bottom is actually on Neptune.

Someone found goulash did have some symbolism, and it’s that goulash is loads of leftovers put in one dish, so the idea that this ep was just the writers leftover ideas in one episode makes sense, like they prolly had an idea of how Stonehenge was created, as that’s a real world mystery, and what would happen if spongebob went crazy, or if it was extremely windy, or an idea for aliens 3000 years later, and they probably even wanted to add into an episode about how they know Poseidon is really the god of the sea and not neptune, but couldn’t fit it in anywhere else so just put it in this one. Plus it makes sense they used all the leftovers as it was ep99

Well, you are right. I think it’s a story that’s been done a few times before and quite well at that, but it does go against the point of the show. The show is a comedy, but there’s hardly anything comedic in this episode.

The jellyfish were the rulers of bikini bottom before a "king" took over. That king was forgotten amongst the current civilization of bikini bottom, hence why they argue on the name. The jellyfish seized the opportunity to reclaim their nation. They seen SpongeBob as Pure, harmless and full of good intentions. They saved him from his current reality by showing him the illusion by faults of friends through letting them down. The jellyfish took over bikini bottom and praised SpongeBob as a deity for his pure nature.

[@jaym2267]

In the episode, you see the Krusty Krab being blown away. Spongebob didn't disappear for years or anything, he was likely just gone for a few days and he stumbled upon where the restaurant was blown towards. This is a much simpler but makes more sense ending to the episode. This episode was likely just written with very linear thinking as some sort of experiment for the writers and definitely wasn't written with any underlining philosophical meaning, but rather some ideas bunched together into a script. The lack of resolution for spongebob was likely intended just to confuse the audience of the episode.

[@brutusthebear9050]

Two things. One, Neptune is not a God. It is just a planet. Neptūnus is the name of the Roman God. Second, they are not the exact same. Rome had something called Syncretizism, where gods from other pantheons were adopted into its own. While the Roman and Greek pantheons became the most similar, especially looking back. Neptūnus likely began as a God of freshwater springs, for example. That being said, Neptūnus was one of the earliest to be identified with Posidon, so it is more accurate than some other gods, such as Pluto and Hades, or Venus and Aphrodite.

[@Thomas_Jasper_Cat_Senior]

For me. This is actually a lesson and a metaphor that every actor and famous people gains unintentional fame and the jellyfish represents the fans not caring about someone's personal life and just being obsessed to them while spongebob represents the famous people, they couldn't even do things right and normal activities due to their fans always disrupting him and not respecting his boundaries. People always forget that famous people and actors are still humans. They're getting the hate and fame they don't deserve because of their talent
