>>97650241CN shouldn't have ended Adventure Time and Regular Show, it was clear they were winding it down in the staff anyway but now with cancellation both shows had to rush their shit and it made all the stuff they were doing either poorly executed or just bad. Adventure Time has less of an excuse than Regular Show, when CN canned them they let them stop working to think of the finale's story and everything, and even after cancellation the writers kept adding more and more shit they need to wrap up.
Regular Show was cancelled halfway into an experimental season and they weren't given time to work on their finale that was 15 episodes way, actually the opposite. CN rushed them to hell and back, after it was canned was when they scheduled the episodes that they finished, and every episode aired in 3 weeks, and 2-3 months before the series finale had finished production CN already put out a press release when it'd be airing.
To get this back on topic with the Sponge, I'm curious what their second series finale will be, if they'll try to keep it status quo to stay behind the first movie to keep it, narratively, the series finale, or if they'll retcon it as if what's after the first movie is a different thing. Maybe give Sponge his boating license, if it's the latter. If it's the former, just make it a feel good episode with Bob being buds with Squid, I'd be down for that.
