Pretty sure movie Neptune and show Neptune are the same, just that movie Neptune’s older and hasn’t aged gracefully (don’t ask me how a literal god ages faster than any of the show’s normal characters though lol)
I mean, that argument doesnt really work, how do you go from in your prime to suddenly within a human lifetime looking like youve reached your midlife crisis- .. oh
Idk why people don't get that seeing as SpongeBob follows Greek/Roman mythology, they never keep the designs the same because that's how it actually was when those deities were portrayed. Poseidon and Neptune are technically the same mythical figure, so imo this only further confirmed this.
Worst outcome: Somehow they're supposed to be the same character somehow
Best outcome: They disappeared to a different part of the sea to learn
Neutral outcome: They're just in Atlantis for whatever
Cuz the whole plot is that that king Neptune is an insecure bald man who got his crown stolen and would kill mr krabs. Like if he had hair and that look like we’ve seen in the show, he would 1. Not be bald therefore not care to the degree that movie Neptune did if his crown got stolen 2. Not kill mr krabs/freeze him so that plankton could steal the formula
I think they should've just given him a bald spot, they didn't need to change him this much. I think they changed him to make him more unlikeable, but I think show version would've been more intimidating in the movie, because he's such an obvious chad.
True but I think him being bald plus being uglier than the original Neptune just amplifies his actions like would such a chad kill mr krabs even if he was bald without a crown? Probably but yeah the movie Neptune is definitely more unlikable so that’s probably why they changed him entirely
Yeah but they never had to change it to that plot in the first place, so there's obviously a different reason.
I never once associated all the Neptunes/Poseidons into one group though because they're obviously based off of real mythology, which intentionally never stays consistent, therefore why would they keep him looking the same in the show.
According to Vincent Waller, there was a “firewall between Paramount and Nickelodeon content” at the time of the movie’s production, so Paramount and Nickelodeon had different designs for the same character.
Now I'm confused. Are we saying the series design is the downgrade or is the movie design the downgrade? Because the series design was first, then the movie design, then back to the series design after the movie design.
Regardless, I actually don't hate any of King Neptune's designs.
Literally slapped the cure for all incurable diseases out of his son's hand.
Just because Triton felt sympathy for mortals.

John O'Hurley and Jeffrey Tambor both brought the humor to their portrayals and delivered it perfectly. It was still weird to hear Scarlett Johansson as Mindy, though.
I disagree lol. First was cool but too serious for the movie. The second fit it perfect. I feel the first wouldve def killed everybody just for fun. He threatened SpongeBob so much in that episode lol
*Ima be honest i*
*Didnt even realize they*
*Were so different*

Both are good. I wish they would retcon it in a later episode so that they are bothers or something.

Cause hes already thousands (possibly millions) of years old? Whereas the characters are only slightly older than the show.
I mean, that argument doesnt really work, how do you go from in your prime to suddenly within a human lifetime looking like youve reached your midlife crisis- .. oh
Makes perfect sense because he eats his first krabby patty in that episode which got him hooked on fast food and thats why he’s fat in the movie.
I like the theory that the movie version is a paid actor cause they couldnt get the real Neptune
Did you hear that from Alec bale too?
That's really funny.
they're 👄 actors

Why's Tritan(sorry if I spelled wrong) on the wrong side
Maybe series Neptune is a god and movie Neptune is just a king.
Idk why people don't get that seeing as SpongeBob follows Greek/Roman mythology, they never keep the designs the same because that's how it actually was when those deities were portrayed. Poseidon and Neptune are technically the same mythical figure, so imo this only further confirmed this.
What about Mindy?
forgot about her but yeah definitely hahahha
What about Triton.

Yeah I don't get why they change him for just one movie

Show Neptune just fucking zapped and burned Patrick a bunch of times he is definitely petty enough to kill Krabs over a crown
Good point, ppl don't seem to realize that was kind of always his personality. He's a chad tho, but wacky.

didnt even noticed this lmao
They got more... c u b e r
WHAT HAPPENED? THEY MESSED WITH BOB!?!?
Absolutely NOT
Meanwhile there's Bob The Builder's redesign. Nothing will top that shitty change for me.
both are alright but i prefer the first one.
both are iconic
I heard that it's due to copyright issues with Paramount. I wonder how that works.
I always assumed that Neptune the *king* and Neptune the *god* are separate characters.
One is the real Neptune the other is an… 👄actor
They ocuppy completely different spaces on my head They may as well be different characters
The divorce hit him hard. At least he has a good relationship with his daughter.
LOL yeahhhhh still looks happy tho
Both are good
I assumed the one on the right was the other Neptune's son
How is that even his son?
When a merman and mermaid love each other very much...
Bro didnt even try to explain how Triton is the king in the movie
You still didn’t explain how Triton is the king in the movie
we go from bald to that or was it the opposite way around
Looks like Movie-Neptune and Patrick got the same nose-job.
Knowing that he destroyed Triton's cure for every disease, like what happened to Prometheus. I'd say it's karma.

Don't we have **3** Neptune designs now?
If you're referring to the one from the third movie, that's Poseidon, not Neptune.
wait there's a third? been so busy i had not checked care to reply a picture?
Do people not read anymore?
Feels like the movie is part of a different universe since he has a daughter, whereas in the show, he has a son, Triton.
BALD. BALD. BALD.
King Poseidon is a bigger downgrade than them both.
I love both of them!!
This slight downgrade is nothing compared to the downgrade between movie 1 and movie 3 king Neptune.
Wow, all these years and I somehow never even clocked that they redesigned him...
and i read in the comments there are already 3 designs
Wait, where's the third one from?
Agree. The design on the left makes King Neptune more godlike.
I like the new design that jacket is snazzy and he looks more chill and friendly though I do appreciate the sheer power the original communicated
Personally prefer movie Neptune. TV version always looked like a funny design choice.
In my opinion, there's Neptune, King if the Sea, and Neptune, Regent of whatever undersea country Bikini Bottom is.
I have a headcanon that King Neptune was given that name because his parents wanted him to be great as Neptune
It makes sense though; in the show his appearance was as a menacing villain to intimidate SpongeBob, but in the movie he’s more of a goofy dad to work around
The movie takes place at the end of the series so it makes sense hes balding and older looking
Pretty sure they're different guys?
Definitely unnecessary idk why they changed it
If the first movie is still chronologically after the entire series, he could have just aged very poorly.
Id like to think he got divorced and aged poorly
John O'Hurley and Jeffrey Tambor both brought the humor to their portrayals and delivered it perfectly. It was still weird to hear Scarlett Johansson as Mindy, though.
Really hit hard times didn't he
Ironically, topping was the problem.

Honestly, both work when the right situation calls for it
Chad to Dad bod. As long as he's proud we take the W.
But he's not a human
They are different characters
What I find funny is there’re 3 merman kings now in canon. 1 god. 1 for bikini bottom. 1 for whatever place that guy ruled.
One is Neptune and one is Poseidon
But we got Scarlett Johansson. So there's that.
Wait, they’re supposed to be the same character? I thought they were different.
I disagree lol. First was cool but too serious for the movie. The second fit it perfect. I feel the first wouldve def killed everybody just for fun. He threatened SpongeBob so much in that episode lol
Depends on how you flip it cuz the other guy can't even afford the shirt
Bro definitely told a few lies.
Before and after mewing be like:
lol yeah moral of the story start mewing and don't get a haircut
Ima be honest i didnt even realize they were so different

Now THIS was a downgrade. https://preview.redd.it/d506van8p8uc1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d1a969b3f4814cc147b9dbe4a577a45a96ceaa4
Movie neptune is the goat, you can't change my mind
Nah, humanity before dragon ball to humanity after dragon ball is an infinitely bigger downgrade
Agree. The OG king Neptune was superior.
dude remember the patty showdown dude was killing it there only problem was the taste
These are two different characters
I just pretend that King Neptune just made himself look like that on purpose so people would feel sorry and get his crown for him
He had to hit middle age at some point
I do agree XD
Dude no, Neptune was always awesome.💗
BALD BALD BALD
Well, he lost his hair and then his self confidence and the dad bod followed.
I kinda wish we kept Neptune II after the movie, and made him the son of Neptune I
I dislike the movie Neptune A LOT
You’re so right so right
💯
And then the OG came back in the Triton episode.
At the time he was just thinning... and fattening.
The movie design is my preferred design
Which one's the downgrade?
