You've changed, Spongebob..

Dear Spongebob,

Hey, how are you, buddy? It’s been a long time since I last wrote to you.. That was when I was begging you to make even just one movie. Thankfully, I got my wish. I liked your movie so much. I watched it over and over again till I memorized your lines. And, I watched it MONTHS before it was shown here in the Philippines. (My tito gave me a pirated copy >:] )

There’s no doubt that I was a very loyal Spongebob fan back then. I loved everything about you: your not-just-for-kids humor, your sarcasm, the way you constantly violate nature’s laws, your unintentional cuteness, and a lot more. You were my favorite cartoon.

But this is where my letter would get a bit sour. Everything I mentioned above aren’t present anymore. (Except for the violating nature blah blah) Starting from Season 3, (I think?) you’ve changed. You’re voice sounds weirder than before. (Puberty?) Your best friend, Patrick grew a new tooth. Together with your shiny eyeballs, you desperately attempt to be ‘cute’ at times. Color-wise the show looks a lot better, feeling a bit modern. Your dialogue with other characters, dude, it sucks. You’ve suddenly expanded your vocabulary a lot. Most of your punch lines are pretty lame. (Although, there are a few I still laugh at) Sometimes, I just feel that you’re struggling to match the standards you’ve set in your glory days, which right now is going no where.

I’m not a hater. I hope you don’t consider me one. I’m just a fan asking for the old you. Seriously, right now the  show feels like it’s waiting to be cancelled. So sorry, Spongebob, if I offended you. Just keepin’ it real.

Aren't the old ones cuter?

raffy :D
