Most reviews are solely based off of anger rather than the actual show itself, so I wanted to write an actual review based off of the show.
The show itself does a good job of keeping you entertained, it has the silly and upbeat charm of a usual Spongebob episode. They also incorporate a lot of the old themes into the new show as well, for instance the old narrator, title cards for time passing, bubble transitions etc.
A big issue a lot of people have is the animation style, at first I was put off by it as well but as I began the first episode it became more and more normal, though it doesn't have the same charm as the original animation there is still something to be said about this version, it does give off a youthful vibe and is more reminiscent of a video game which could be an angle to intrigue youth. They also use bright and eye catching colors to help further the youthful look opposed to the pastel colors Spongebob would use at times.
The narrative of the show itself has a Fanboy & Chumchum meets Camp Laslo meets Spongebob feel. The storylines usually involve some hyper shenanigans with Patrick and Spongebob sort of being a more playful and absent minded duo which is reminiscent of Fanboy & Chumchum. Though they do a good job of keeping the characters to their true personalities while also displaying them in a youthful form.
And yes this show does rewrite the backstory of the characters to some extent, for instance Spongebob was supposed to have met Sandy by saving her when they were older, but I feel this is more of an alternate reality than a true prequel. It's like this is what would have happened if they knew each other than rather than this did happen. We've seen this happen before in shows like Total DramaRama.
Over all the show is interesting and new while also being nostalgic at the same time, it has an interesting theme with lots to explore in this setting. I feel the show has promise if given the chance because it actually offers some interesting and cute narratives, it's genuinely just fun.
Though nothing will be as good as the original Spongebob this show does a good job of making something different and interesting, being Spongebob and it's own thing all at once.
