Um..

 

[Secret_asian_man]

Apparently there are people in this thread who have never used Coppertone.

For real.

Spongebob's driver's license says he was born in April 1984 in the episode where he dreams that he actually passes his test at boat school.

I think they just want to shit on anything weird simply because it's new Spongebob.

Despite there being tons of weird frames I could pull from old Spongebob.

 

[billeh]

Still better than this. At least it's only a short part of the movie.

Spongebob's driver's license says he was born in April 1984 in the episode where he dreams that he actually passes his test at boat school.

So... He's a wizard?

Spongebob's driver's license says he was born in April 1984 in the episode where he dreams that he actually passes his test at boat school.

There's time between doing the voicework for an episode and that episode's premiere.

Fair enough! Although as his dream driver's license says, the Wikipedia article suggests the shows origins were in the mid-80s and maybe that is considered his "true" birthdate?

What the hell am I doing with my life?

 

[HUELEN10]

Still better than this.

You... you will pay for this!

 

[Xpike]

what the fuck
why are they spoiling the climax of the movie

 

[Hot Coldman]

I was really excited for a moment, and then I realised it's not going to be a tokusatsu film.

 

[alfredofroylan]

what the fuck

They did the same with the last movie. David Hasselhoff and all that stuff.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Spoiler

first time I saw someone that like Sonic Boom's character choices

 

[ivysaur12]

The movie was so good.

 

[GDGF]

They filmed this movie in my town (Savannah, Ga)

I'll go see it just because.

 

[TimmiT]

"It's the big climax of the movie," says director Paul Tibbit. "They all come to shore in our world. And they transform themselves into an Avengers-type team to do battle. Their world is in jeopardy."

So the very first photo of the movie they show is of the climax?

 

[Alucrid]

The fuck is this?

a homage to the coppertone girl

kids these days

 

[Greenzxy]

Paul Tibbit.

In the article.

Man, I just realized they changed the imdb credits from to Paul Tibbit. Geez.

 

[WillyFive]

Oh god.

No Stephen Hillenburg no sale.

This is actually his big return to Spongebob after a decade. Despite Tibbit directing; Hillenburg will be writing it and producing it.

So the very first photo of the movie they show is of the climax?

 

[Matugi]

Spongeknob Squarenuts did it better.

 

[FZZ]

Swolebob Spongegains

 

[MrBadger]

Could be worse.

Also nice to see they've missed the whole real world divide from the old episodes.

 

[Zubz]

Yeah, but that's different. With the Avengers you expected them all to team up and kick ass. That's what people loved about the comics, that's what would sell the movie. This is fucking Spongebob. Not only is this a "why?" moment, but it's a movie where you wouldn't, and in fact shouldn't, expect his kind of ending.

Glad to see Hillenburg back, but I strongly doubt his presence'll fix this from being abysmal. But still, I know this will sell millions, if not billions, while Korra's becoming even more impossible to watch without watching it illegally online (Which gives the show no money, so I guess people're digging this grave themselves). To say I'm bitter is an understatement.

 

[Mr-Joker]

They done this before only this time they replaced Sandy for Mr. Krab for some stupid reason.

What the fuck....

Besides, they already did this plot and Spongebob was the Quickster.

Indeed and it was awesome.

Where's Sandy? She was the best.

No girls allowed.

 

[WillyFive]

To say I'm bitter is an understatement.

It's true that simply because Hillenburg is back doesn't mean that the movie will be good (people can change a lot in 10 years); but it's no mystery why after he resigned after finishing the first Squarepants movie that the quality of the suddenly went into a dramatic nosedive. As it turns out, Hillenburg was what made the show so good in it's first run; so there's a chance this new movie might be good in a way the series hasn't seen in 10 years.

They did a wtf moment in the first movie with the bay watch dude. Also if korra did half the sales of sponge Bob it would be on every day.

 

[m_shortpants]

Cancel Legend of Korra, make this.

I hate you Nick

 

[Heroman]

Cancel Legend of Korra, make this.

I hate you Nick

This will make more money than the whole avatar franchise, and kids love spongebob way more than Korra.

 

[MrSaturn99]

siiiigh

well, I guess I'll still go see it.

 

[Greenzxy]

This will make more money than the whole avatar franchise, and kids love spongebob way more than Korra.

It's why Cyma Zarghami canceled all the nicktoons line up back in 2004 besides Fairly odd parents. They Can just ride on that spongegbob money all day.

 

[Mechazawa]

siiiigh

well, I guess I'll still go see it.

If it makes you feel any better, this is going to be the first time Hillenburg will have worked on Spongebob ever since it went to shit.

Edit: As numerous people have apparently all pointed out.

 

[Hatchtag]

This is Sonic Boom levels of terrible

This was my immediate reaction as well, though it does seem like it's just a joke for the end of the movie. Hopefully it is.

 

[Akahige]

So no traditional animation?

 

[Aquamarine]

In this exclusive first look at the upcoming movie SpongeBob: Sponge Out of Water (due out Feb. 13, 2015) the main cast gets a new "real" look once they leave their animated sea city of Bikini Bottom.

the main cast gets a new "real" look

a new "real" look

what.

 

[zeemumu]

Spongebob is 17 years old? Wtf

Spongebob aired in 1999. I don't think that's correct.

 

[Heroman]

So no traditional animation?

No it is just a joke

It's why Cyma Zarghami canceled all the nicktoons line up back in 2004 besides Fairly odd parents. They Can just ride on that spongegbob money all day.

It crazy how much money he makes and how long he been popular.

 

[99hertz]

Is it gonna be like all my other climaxes where it feels amazing for a few seconds and then I'm disgusted and can't believe what I'm watching on the screen?

 

[GK86]

Holy crap. I didn't realize the show was that old.

 

[Aquamarine]

Ehh, now that I'm thinking about it, some hyper-realistic CGI for the last bit of the movie would be pretty cool and funny if they do it right.

 

[Sub_Level]

not when i switch to MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE

I am watching this movie. I love spongebob.

 

[msdstc]

Ehh, now that I'm thinking about it, some hyper-realistic CGI for the last bit of the movie would be pretty cool and funny if they do it right.

It's not....

 

[Mariolee]

Well on the wiki, it says that Hillenburg is a story writer on the film.

This is actually his big return to Spongebob after a decade. Despite Tibbit directing; Hillenburg will be writing it and producing it.

Holy moly.

I'm in.

This poster is magnificent.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Patrick is making me crack up.

 

[Dai101]

You like my Krabbypatties, don't you Squidward?

My Krabbypatties.

Eh, Squidward?

.

 

[Mysterious]

Spongebob is 17 years old? Wtf

Wtf I'm only 2 years older than it?

EDIT: May 1, 1999. So only 15 years old.

Still old though.

 

[Spongebob]

Haven't watched this show in years, wasn't even aware that they still made movies for it.

 

[gabbo]

a homage to the coppertone girl

kids these days

Seriously, how was that not blatantly obvious?
For reference, Coppertone:

SpongeBob

 

[SmithnCo]

Swolebob Spongegains

Squatsbob Oatspants

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Where's Sandy? She was the best.

Leaving Bikini Bottom for the real world

Becoming a team of superheroes

Sandy was a big part of both episodes. Both are also some of my favorites especially the Mermaid Man one which is top 5 for me. Why would Mr. Krabs become a superhero.

 

[Irishmantis]

What happened to my Darling Sponegbob show

where did it all go wrong?

You where so charming and Funny
Was it me?

 

[Jigorath]

Spongebob is still going? Just let it die already.
