Remember the good days when people all collectively agree that new spongebob was inferior to classic spongebob in every way possible? what the fuck happened that split up the damn community so bad?

>>149507670 (OP)
Zoomers were a mistake.

if you join a server and the very first thing you talk about is something like that you brought it upon yourself

>>149507670 (OP)
Imagine having your own opinion so you contribute something instead of repeating the consensus at each other endlessly.

I think pre-movie Spongebobfags have to be the whiniest most insufferable strain of Nostalgiatards in the history of every media ever. I have never seen anyone else in any facet of entertainment whine about so many things for so long and even literally just make up random things to gripe and moan about.

You could search any popular, long running franchise in the entire world and would be hard pressed to find a large group of people this autistic about something they liked as a kid that got "ruined" later on. And I challenge anyone reading this to actually go and look because I know I'm right.

I could make an entire essay analyzing the many mental issues a lot of old spongebob fans seem to have and why no other fans of long-running series seems to whine about shit like title fonts, background characters having a "lack of character", or continuity issues, but I honestly just want to know what causes this.

>>149507670 (OP)
They only like the new seasons because it looks like Ren and Stimpy. Try asking them what they like about the new episodes and they'll tell you the animation is good and nothing else.

Isn't this just the Sonic fanbase

>>149507783
I'll get lynched for this and maybe I got mind broken by cheap cartoons, but newer seasons made me realized what "forced animation" means. A dead forced meme from a decade ago, but it had a point.

>>149507670 (OP)
No, I always liked Season 4 for the most part aside from a few episodes and thought it was at least on par with Season 3 (which is a little overrated imo). Season 5 was where the real decline started. This is not just nostalgia, I thought this as a kid too.

Star Wars :)

>>149507783
The animation looks good for a modern cartoon, but the biggest flaw is how style over substance modern SB is. Honestly, the best post-movie season was season 11, tons of banger episodes and a great balance between good animation and good writing, it’s likely because Hillenburg returned to work on the show around that time before his passing. After season 11 SpongeBobs writing gradually worsened.

Sure the animation and art direction is great and experimental, but it’s sad to see how Spumco-inspired animators are regulated to the SpongeBob mines cause no other cartoon these days has the budget to allow for that kind of style. If you want to know what modern SpongeBob looks like without the good animation then look no further than to Kamp Coral, which is unironically worse than the Paul Tibbitt era episodes.

I hate /co/ but I'm also afraid of joining any fan community either

>>149508053
Any recommendations from season 11? Curious to see what these banger episodes are.

>>149507953
Not even close to pre-movie Spongebobfags.

Paul Tibbitt seasons were better.

>>149508116
ChefBob, Squid Noir, Krabby Patty Creature Feature, Karen’s Virus, Cuddle E Hugs, I also felt like My Leg was a great episode, but unfortunately that was the episode that killed the whole running gag and made it less funny.
Season 10 had a couple good episodes too, Mimic Madness, Feral Friends, Krusty Katering, that season basically felt like a transitional point between the Tibbit era and Waller era

People constantly ranted about the Tibbitt seasons in the 2010’s, but now that the 2010’s kids grew up we see people online praising the Tibbitt seasons, just wait in a few years when you see people online praising the Waller seasons.

>>149508273
Season 4 is better than the average Nubob episode.

>>149507884
Spongebob is only fractured by generations growing up with different eras of the show. Sonic is fractured by not only that, but also different shows, different mediums, different games. Even within each subgroup, there are divides. Which Adventure game is better. Is Boom better than Prime. AotSH vs SatAM. IDW vs Archie. There will never be a franchise as splintered and hostile to one another as Sonic.

>>149507670 (OP)
Okay SpongeBoomer.

>>149508643
Seasons 10 and 11 not only had neat plots and concepts but also the best humor of any post movie seasons

"You must’ve been born on a highway, cause that’s where most accidents happen"

>>149507670 (OP)
ok spongeboomer

>>149508757
When you think about it, compared to any other longrunning cartoons, SpongeBob probably had the least severe seasonal rot, the worst of the Tibbitt seasons can at least be enjoyed by some people, I actually find the so called "Squidward torture porn" kinda funny, and the worst of the Waller seasons at least have great animation to admire and have their fans.

>>149508829
Seasons 6-9a are literally toddler slop though

>>149508862
Still more watchable than whatever the fuck happened to Fairly OddParents, like seriously the original creator never left the show yet somehow it had the worst seasonal rot out of all longrunners before being put out of its misery, how the fuck does that happen?

>>149508862
They even reused the same jokes too.

>>149509000
We should probably also mention that the animation was at its worse during that period, seasons 1-4 looked great, seasons 11-present look great, season 9 is what that stiff ass TibbittBob style looks like in HD, and it looks like ass, honestly while the modern wacky style isn’t my favorite for the show this is the exact reason why I’m thankful for the animation change.

>>149509202
sad!

>>149509000
To be fair, it's difficult not to reuse jokes in a show that goes on this long

>>149508967
>every established rule
I only really see two rules being broken here, albeit two of the BIG ones.

>>149510101
>one of Timmy’s parents is noticing Vicky’s hostile behavior
>adults/teens are seeing the fairies
>Timmy is sharing his fairies with Chloe
>Anti-fairy is seen without special goggles (though to be fair that rule was broken right after their first appearance)
>Fairies aren’t doing shit about the presence of an Anti-Fairy and are just chilling with it

Did I miss anything?

>>149510022
But this is ONE SEASON apart. No excuses.

>>149508967
>>149510101
Which ones?
I only see the major rule of "hide your fairies from non-fairy owners"
I still don't know who the blonde bitch is or if she even has fairies or any of the context, I know another rule was that you can't wish for love so

>>149510365
okay nevermind that explains all of them

>>149507670 (OP)
what were you expecting? a community of fans that has been talking about how much they hate the show for the last 20+ years?
obviously if they are a place that still talks about it they might actually like newer stuff

>>149507783
crazy how people care about how a visual medium looks

>>149507783
that is the good thing about the old seasons and the newer ones. The characters have always been fucking insufferable

>>149510453
>a community of fans that has been talking about how much they hate the show for the last 20+ years?
I mean, some shows have that.

>>149507670 (OP)
No, but I do remember when everyone agreed it was trash for toddlers. God I'm old...

>>149507670 (OP)
>a community of SpongeBob fans

Oh god, I can't even imagine the autism.

>>149510403
The two I was referring to were
>humans without fairies must not be told of or witness their existence
>Timmy's parents must not witness or otherwise be shown proof of Vicky's abusive behavior
>>149510365
Well, shit, I forgot about the rest of those.

>>149510365
Cherry on top is how the show switched to cheap Flash rigged animation. You can even somehow tell it’s Flash animated by the photo

>SpongeBoomer
They cooked you

> Somebody brings up how they aren't really fans of the classic seasons
Wow, I can't even imagine having an opinion this bad.

>>149510365
Wow, the writers really stopped caring at the end.

Modern Spongebob is what your parents thought Spongebob was back in 2003.

>>149511484
ZoomerGODS mog once again

Why is it that modern SpongeBobs animation looks great but the newer movies look like shit? The Sandy movie was shit visually, the Plankton movie looked a bit better but that’s not saying much, and the upcoming Flying Dutchman movie looks like bland slop, say what you want about Sponge on the Run but at least that film had a pretty neat style.

Is it because the animators on the show are younger and want to have fun on their job more while the movies are handled by different crews trained in the modern industry to animate as on-model as possible?

I assume the new seasons or bad but I haven't watched a single episode since like season 6 so I wouldn't know

Remember when SpongeBob jokes used to have real-life photo and video references?
Why did they start animating them?
It takes away the joke.
Did Uncle Grandpa and Fish Hooks kill that trope?

This but with Ninjago
Idk what's worse in cartoon fanbases
The oldfags who complain about anything new and give a bad rep to early stuff by being annpying about it
Or the newfags who resort to call everything "nostalgia biased" and how the old is bad and overrated because "oh it just is!" like it's so idiotic

>>149507670 (OP)
I don't know about this community thing but they're too pussy to have their own opinion so they bandwagon.

>>149515075
Both are just repeating phases that every other generation before them went through.
That said, if I had to pick one, I'd say the young people/newfags are worse because every single time, without fail, they will grow into the old people/oldfags that they used to complain about.
The true answer is that they're actually the same people, just temporally skewed from each other.

>>149512962
>>149514954
I saw the episode when it was leaked, they did the same thing that the old episode did where the animated character wearing the gorilla suit (the one in that screenshot is spongebob wearing one) is depicted in 2D while the actual gorilla that shows up later on is a live action actor wearing a gorilla suit.

Same thing that happened to G4 MLP after just 1 season.

During the season 1 hiatus about 9000 summer zoomers came in and started praising the shit season and asking "Who the fuck is Lauren Faust? whoever she is I'm glad she's gone. I'm here for the fandom, not for the show"

/mlp/ were the first retards that felt like new/co/ back in 2012. In 2013-2014 the board had devolved into nothing but greentext story generals.

>>149516133
It was full of gore.

>>149517551
Honestly as much as the gore is shat on I feel like Robertryan Cory’s art was really the only visual highlight during the Tibbitt Era
https://www.flickr.com/photos/robertryancory/albums/72157619658736293/
Though to be fair these drawings looked better as sketches and didn’t translate as well into the final product

>>149507779
Pre-movie is good
Post movie is bad
It's literally that simple

>>149519619
Tibbitt SpongeBob was hated by tons of people back then, normies simply hated it cause it felt more like a generic kids cartoon than SpongeBob, cartoon reviewers on the other hand have an amplified autistic love for SpongeBob. They hated it for "Squidward Torture Porn", Patrick being mean-spirited, "gross stuff", they acted as if the characters were real people and actively clamored for the people working on it to be blacklisted from the entertainment industry all cause they wrote a cartoon they didn’t like, peak lunacy. Sure more people online liking the Tibbitt era now is a result of younger zoomers who watched it having grown up, but if I’m being honest I feel like cartoon critics who ranted about it being fucking retarded is another reason.

>>149520214
I guess crying DOES solve your problems after all!

>>149520290
and Mr. Enter thought this joke was teaching children that lesson, not getting the fact that it’s a fucking joke. Why did I ever watch this retard when I was younger?

Honestly I have a strange attachment towards Enter, he’s improved so much over the years but still has big fuckups every know and then like the whole Turning Red 9/11 stuff, but he’s recently exposed a pedo, cleared up the SaberSpark drama, like I always watch new videos of his cause his life fascinates me, he’s like an anti-lolcow.

>>149520290
The overreaction to this just goes to show you how much of a joke the SB fandom is.

>>149520441
Cartoon critics in general are a joke, sure more professional critics like LS Mark and SaberSpark are at least watchable and liked by many, but the circle of people influenced by Mr. Enter are whole new breed of autists like:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iy6_tNythw

Why else do you think Mr. Enter attracted tons of autists on his team, the pedo Star Giant that he thankfully fired, the retard Crimson Mayhem that has the shittiest Twitter takes ever, he made himself an autism magnet

Lots of creative fags cut their teeth on SpongeBob and like all art people they think their shit doesn't stink when it in fact does. Just look at who boards most modern seasons and you'll get why.

What the hell are you even going to talk about with SpongeBob, he's kind of SpongeBob I mean that's really nothing to say. There's an entire community of people and what the hell would they even talk about SpongeBob funny voice, I mean it's not a very interesting character it's a character for use in gags and jokes. I think bugs Bunny has more of a personality.

>>149520566

I stopped watching that guy after I realized the only thing I liked about him was how he'd cover obscure cartoons. His actual coverage was often poorly researched and even more poorly presented, so I bailed and never looked back.

>>149508053
It is cool they are seeing and paying attention to what people are saying now. 2009 had some of the worst episodes and seemed like they were cheaply phoning it in with torture episodes like summer job,boating buddies and keep bikini bottom beautiful. I thought it started to get a little better starting in 2011 though and they seem to be able to push the limit with things like this

>>149524409
One of the many reasons why I believe, as flawed as the Waller era is, is an improvement upon the Tibbitt era.

Tibbitt episodes scream "writers out of touch with their fanbase who aren’t having fun on their jobs"
