In a future Square Theory, you should discuss how characterization can vary from episode to episode both before and after the movie, and how much variance is acceptable. Stuff like: -Is Spongebob a mildly eccentric everyman who the audience can relate to, or a hyperactive manchild oblivious to the world around him? How much trouble can he cause for Squidward and other people with his shenanigans before it becomes unacceptable? -How much of a jerk is Squidward, and how much is the world out to screw him over? -Is Mr. Krabs a genuinely well meaning boss whose love of money occasionally clouds his judgement, an idiot who has no sense of longterm net gain/loss whenever money is involved, or a coldhearted sociopathic villain who cares about nothing but making money and making his business rival miserable? How bad can he be without receiving comeuppance or showing remorse? -Is Plankton a credible threat, an ineffectual sympathetic villain, or a moron too dumb to remember how to blink on his own? Is he always the instigator in his feud with Krabs, or is Krabs just as likely to attack him with little to no provocation? -Are the citizens of Bikini Bottom average people who react normally to the eccentricities of the main cast, a bunch of jerks who mistreat the main characters for no reason, or a flock of sheep who will fly into a panic at the smallest of reasons?

Personally, I love Hamtaro because the show is mixed with both continuity and characters that are different from one another. Even for a anime that has hamsters as the main role and has a cute atmosphere to it, I love it for its continuity and characters setup. I wonder if PieGuyRulz remembers this show when it was on Cartoon Network. (6/3/2002-10/15/2004)

Good example is the episode where they "kill" a guy by choking on the Krabby Patty. You felt tension, even though you knew it wouldn't end very badly, it seemed like a very nerve racking day for Spongebob and Krabs.

@AnimatedIdiotGuide9 жыл бұрын
Pablo Avila-Remijio Season 4 was one of my favorites. I loved the modern feel but also loved how it still resembled the Season 1-3 style and feel. The episodes were mostly well-paced and the execution was very swift. Now the jokes feel stale, mean-spirited, and I hate the new style and feel, plus the episodes as a whole just feel a lot slower. I can't quite explain that, but I know it when I see it

I would definitely say an episode like Lost Mattress or Krabs Vs. Plankton or Good Neighbors are classic. But the rest of season 4 doesn't feel like classic spongebob. Not to say it's necessarily bad, I actually like seasons 6-8. Season 9 is where I no longer recognize it...

What a great video. It's interesting the comment you made about how in the post-movie era, the creators are trying to up the ante for "boating school" and "secret formula" episodes, since they need to have twists to be unique compared to the early, basic episodes. I think another reason why the show has dug itself into a hole is that by the point of Seasons 2 and 3, the show was ALREADY subverting its common storylines in really creative ways! Take boating school episodes for example. Look at No Free Rides from Season 2. They have Mrs. Puff go to the extreme of giving SpongeBob his license just so she can be done with him, even though he isn't ready. So they've done an episode where the character who is always trying to get this thing they want from another character... actually was given it by that character! And we saw the potential repercussions! How can they get that much more tension, and by extension, comedy, out of the idea of whether or not SpongeBob will get his license? When it comes to the pre-movie episodes... they actually didn't really try to after that. Mrs. Puff featured in episodes, sure, but Krusty Love and New Student Starfish don't center around that idea. Only Doing Time uses SpongeBob failing his test to kick off the story; it's more about Mrs. Puff's huge, surreal breakdown. It has an all-new jail setting that in reality, was nothing but a dream... maybe. Yeah, you can't really get deeper into the core of the conflict driving this story than that. I mean, what else can they do, have Mrs. Puff actually want to kill SpongeBob? ...Heh.
