[@bluehairedaigaming]

SpongeBob's premise and world doesn't allow room for long overarching plots and world building like Avatar the Last Airbender or even Codename Kids Next Door. SpongeBob's premise is pretty much can you make the kids / general audiences laugh for 11 minutes. However this has less to do with the show and more to do with how it's managed. If Seasons 1-3 were made with the minds of the executives, they would be less successful. Dr. Who can run 100+ years and still feel fresh since there's a lot more creative freedom with that premise and work environment. People need to stop worshiping Hillenburg because he and Tibbit didn't have any plans to stop the higher ups from ruining their product because they simply didn't care because to them they were just workers lucky to be hired. While Hillenburg wished that he ended the show after Season 3, he and Tibbit never acted in this regard mainly because he had a job, reviewed and approved scripts like the Splitter, and was a worker in the capitalist system despite stepping down as an executive producer.

[@mileven3ggo3njoyer]

My problem with new spongebob has got to be the writing. They never really go beyond a simple idea or concept, just stretching that idea out for the next 11 minutes. And their attempts at fan service by referencing the past never makes these episodes stand on their own. It just feels like they aren't confident enough to tell their own stories anymore, rather going back to the stories that people loved so much to begin with. Nothing wrong with doing that in moderation if theres an idea behind it, but more often than not, it just seems the show is overrelying on the past, making the whole experience feel so stagnant.

[@Valtharr]

Honestly, I think it's the opposite. The old episodes, especially the really well remembered ones, all had a single, simple premise, and then just built as many jokes around it as they could. The newer episodes try too hard to be original. Either that, or nostalgic.

[@RYMAN1321]

Exactly Nostalgia pandering and fanservice especially when it’s overused just comes across as lazy and cheap. For example that’s the main issue Ghostbusters Afterlife had. It completely overused nostalgic fan service to the point it came across as forced and lazy. The film itself wasn’t terrible but they really needed to dial back on the fanservice. I do think Frozen Empire looks better though, it looks more original at least.

Squidward: You two bought a giant screen TV just so could play in the box? Patrick: I didn't think it would work.

[@TayoEXE]

The annoying thing about it is how inconsistent it was and like you said, too much Tell don't show. First, in Idiot Box, it's established that we cannot see what is being imagined. Squidward kept wondering how it "sounded" like they were doing everything they were imagining. I guess you can argue we saw what Squidward was imagining in this new one, but he wasn't trying to imagine anything. We know that in the original, he tried sneaking into the box and all he saw was, yeah, a box. He accidentally fell in. His immediate reaction wouldn't be to get sucked into his imagination by having fun like he did at the end of the original. Also, in the new one, Spongebob and Patrick can't see him in the box, again, something that wasn't a part of the original. He didn't call it his Imagination Box. The whole joke was that they bought a TV but just wanted "the box." Squidward opens the box and can immediately see them, so why on earth is the logic of that so inconsistent with this supposed sequel? It's like they went off the memes and didn't even watch the original episode. Next, as you said, they spent so much time making jokes about how Spongebob and Patrick could influence him to think of something else and thus affect his imaginary world, which sort of happens in the original when he kicks the box and they imagine an avalanche (lol). But the whole joke rested on NOT being able see any of that. The whole Robot Pirate Island part and "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPERS!" still cracks me up. I feel they should have maybe reversed roles since Squidward should know how it works finally, and maybe Sponge and Pat become concerned for him when they overhear crazy noises from his how or something as he comedically gets curious about what he can do, maybe in another box. When Squidward doesn't know anyone's looking, he may do sillier things.

This episode released before Rock, Paper, Scissors premiere on TV (Look at the timer)

[@adambyrd7499]

SpongeBob SquarePants? More like Slapstick Sillypants

[@forrestannis909]

Good one😂

[@uncannydcmarvelous5732]

or Cringypants (?)

Making the box actually be special kinda defeats the entire point

[@cutewings2013]

I can’t believe Nickelodeon/Viacom makes new SpongeBob episode that tries to be a sequel from a classic era and just make it as a lackluster and keeps getting worse. This is why most young audience/spongebobfans that weren’t getting interesting and doesn’t pay attention in this show anymore 😢😭

Don't forget when each character had an episode about their holiday for 4-6 episodes in a row

[@skirtdinkas7216]

Yeah this episode just made my depression worse

[@daniapfel2825]

I’m sorry for you

The OG was legendary. The stories and the way how they do that all was not hilarious, yet memorable. The box shop ruins the magic. References, not sequels are needed. Like the one where spongebob forgot squidward

[@maxmeidl4909]

The writers clearly did not use their imaginations.

[@AngusMcDonaldsKat]

My theory is that the imagination leaked into the box

[@AwesomeSean4]

Bad or not, let's all agree that this episode is nostalgic!

[@paulgilbert5278]

The original for being classic? Or the sequel for being derivative?

[@AwesomeSean4]

@@paulgilbert5278 I say both! The sequel deserves a respectful episode, TRYING to make it good!

[@eeeeaaaooo18]

They could’ve just put SpongeBob,Patrick,and squidward just laughing in the box at random times,and it would be a better episode.

[@maxmeidl4909]

Seasons 13 onwards, it feels like several episodes are doing nothing but what I like to call “nostalgic pandering”. As in bring back things from the golden years as a way of them saying, “hey, remember this?” as a way hide the episode’s lack of effort and recapture the original pre-movie magic. But it just comes off as both lazy and desperate, AND IT’S GETTING OLD!

Imagination Box Repair? Mf it was a normal ass TV box that they were having fun in how did they fuck up so bad
