This American animation was originally aimed at junior children. Since the first broadcast of 1999, it has not attracted the attention of all young anime lovers. The reason may be the cute Spongebob, or the loyal and friendly Patrick. However, I need to emphasize that the seemingly indifferent "Squidward Tentacles" who often despises Spongebob has brought endless happiness to anime fans.
At first, I thought that the departure of the original author would bring the whole series to a standstill, but today, this worry has finally been completely dispelled by a hot topic-ranking 25th, with more than 60 million related readings, which is enough to attract the attention of netizens. The focus of this topic is "Squidward Tentacles" and "derivative drama". In short, this is not Spongebob's orthodox drama (is orthodoxy really important? In any case, it was originally an amateur drama, but Squidward Tentacles's new story was told from another angle.
According to The New York Times, this series of derivative dramas will emphasize "musical elements" (like Disney animation, you can sing and dance while performing). More interestingly, the leading investment company this time is the famous Netflix, which signed a one-time contract with Nickelodeon up to 200 million US dollars and hatched a series of derivative dramas. ?
At present, we don't know what proportion of spin-off dramas belong to Squidward Tentacles, but I want to emphasize once again that Netflix not only has money, but also spends money like water. In fact, only in this way can we call it a local tyrant. So I think it is because Netflix invested 200 million dollars that Squidward Tentacles could become the leading role.
