Stephen Hillenburg passed away on November 26, 2018, and people all over commemorated his life and his creation. If you haven’t heard, Nickelodeon announced on June 4, 2019; a CGI SpongeBob Spin off around a 10 year-old SpongeBob attending camp. This has gotten a lot of backlash because Mr. Hillenburg always had certain rules that were not to be broken when working on SpongeBob, such as never allowing SpongeBob to pass his boating exam, never revealing pearl’s mother, and the recently broken one: Never make a SpongeBob spin off or crossover. As many have noted this show breaks one of the deceased Hillenburg’s rules and wishes for the future of SpongeBob. Not only is this unacceptable but i came across a horrible realization, they announced SpongeBob spin offs like this one would be coming back in FEBRUARY this year. That is ONLY 3 MONTHS after Hillenburg’s passing. This would insinuate it may be likely Nickelodeon have had this idea BEFORE his passing and waited until his passing to go through with it since there is no way Hillenburg could have a say considering he’s not alive to be there! An announcement means that they had to go around first to get everything lined up so it is likely this started right after his passing. I AM UPSET BECAUSE THEY WENT AGAINST STEPHEN HILLENBURG’S (A DEAD MAN”S) WISHES. They either waited till his passing to enact their plans OR came up with them immediately after his passing. AND ONLY 3 MONTHS AFTER THEY ANNOUNCED THIS. How could this be a coincidence? There’s no way it can be.
