Spongebob S4 Episode 1-2 REACTION

Well I remember the first episode, so I’m interested in how much of the rest of the season I’ll remember. I have the DVDs up to like season 7 but I never got around to watching them.

I have to say, these first two rpisodes aren't terrible. They have their moments, and the plots are fairly clever. I just hate how aggressively silly spongebob is now. He was never this blind to basic engineering or problem solving. The sign is the worst of this and the squidward back and forth at the junkyard was actually pretty normal for them. It just seems as the show goes on, each character becomes more and more one dimensional and boring. So fsr it hasn't gotten that bad though.

So my 2 cents as someone who grew up with season 3 ~5 and has now gone back and watched all of it and even the later season regularly. So Season 1~5 are solid I personally think all 5 are solidly watchable and enjoyable. Its around season 6 through 8 mabe into some of 9 that is pretty rough as its clear they were trying to figure out what the show was going to be after keeping it on for so long and the flanderization got really bad sometimes. The tropes got pretty tired: Krabs is money hungry, Squidward is the punching bag even when he doesn't do anything, spongebob is kinda manic, Patrick is aggressively stupid and short tempered, etc.

Then around season 9 and 10 they almost did a sort of reset, where the characters went back to drawing from earlier traits that worked but are also sort of all just chaos gremlins. Almost like the show realized the characters had becomes so flanderized they were now their own thing and leaned into it. So while I would say season 9~current day is really enjoyable, by that point its basically a completely new show that's just chaotic zaney slapstick antics all the time and would not fit in with any earlier seasons of the show.

So basically Season 1~5 are good, 6~8 are rough and overall kind bad even if there are some solid episodes, then season 9 and onwards is good but basically a whole new show.

Love this season! For me up to s7 and 8 I was still in the loving the show. So yall got time before I start looking a mess

You guys put it in a good way; season 4 and 5 are basically the transitionary period where the show tries to find it's footing again and decide on a new identity. The naysayers overexaggerate their disdain, but like I said in the past, this slow period here is basically where it mostly came from. There are few handfuls of EXTREMELY good and bad episodes in these two episodes and then the rest are just pretty okay and fun, nothing too amazing compared to what came before it, and they do lean HEAVILY on Plankton for a while. But at the same time, some my favorite episodes come from this new "Finding Themselves" period and then when it's over they hit their stride again and most episodes after that are very good.

Just be prepared for some rough gross out episodes here and there, and you'll be fine.

ALSO SUPER STOKED THIS MEANS WE'LL GET TO THE 2ND MOVIE, YOU'LL LOVE IT!! (and I can't wait for a certain cake in a certain episode to appear lol)

Yeah, in Season 4 and afterwards is when the writing and story of Spongebob started to decline, mainly because the creator Stephen Hillenburg and the original writing team left after the movie. There are still some good episodes, but I really disliked/hated some episodes in Season 4-8.

The reason why you see more of plankton in season four is because (I heard this from another user) in his first episode that was suppose to be his only appearance, but his voice actor loved him so much he then starred in more episodes along the way in season three and I think he appeared like 19 times in those three seasons. In season four he’s officially now a main character and that’s why you see him more.

There's actually a fun video with a real lawyer reacting to the Krabs VS Plankton episode, SpongeBob would've been kicked out straight away for not even having any certification. Highly recommend watching it, man treats the whole case like it's a real court case.

There's actually 2 theories out there about the SpongeBob movie.1 theory suggests the reason SpongeBob is more childish in later seasons is because he was reincarnated after he and Patrick died in the shell city gift shop, while the other theory is that everything season 4 onwards is actually earlier in the timeline with the 1st movie being the cannon end of the story.
