>>99940374What people don’t realise is that yes, Hillenburg is an important part in making SpongeBob a good series, he’s not the only one. We’re never going to get many of the old writers and animators back like Dan Povenmire, Peter Burns, Jay Lender, CH Greenblatt, etc. if it weren’t for them, the show would just be Bubblestand and Jellyfishing 50 times (not bad, but not a classic). That’s the vibe I get from most Post-Sequel episodes, they’ve got the right ideas, but they don’t push for the same jokes they’d be telling in the 2000-2002 episodes.
