History Headscratchers / TheMysteriousMrEnter

** It's not. What Mr. enter thinks is irredeemable is the fact that Squidward not only never shows remorse but at the end, actually says that the torture he suffers is worth it. The fact that Squidward could deal with losing his house, his dignity, and even his friendships, if it means that Spongebob gets to suffer.

* Why does Mr. Enter think that Squidward reading Spongebob's diary in front of the Krusty Krab make him irredeemable? That...honestly is one of the LEAST offensive things I seen in bad Spongebob episodes, and even than, it was just one episode of Squidward being a dick.

*** To be fair, in some episodes he mentions, like "Jellyfish Hunter", Mr. Krabs was portrayed in the wrong for, in this example, exploiting thousands of jellyfish for their jelly with no regard for their safety or wellbeing. Episodes in the Pre-Movie era clearly had shown who was in the right and who is in the wrong. We expect the villain to do these things you mentioned. And he did judge a character by simular standards, like in 'The Top Ten Patrick's a Prick Episodes', where Patrick, a character we are supposedly supposed to root for, is called out upon his actions, as he was clearly aware of what he did with no remorse. These arguments against the characters on this show, and in other shows he reviews, shows how you cannot justify these actions they do if we are to root for them. Supposedly, he never brings up what Plankton did because severe VillainDecay ''has'' devolved him into a petty thief.

** The answer to both the above questions is that Mr. Enter considers most flaws and strengths of any animated episode or movie are the writers' fault. This is not an unreasonable way to approach animated episodes, as writers often get lost in discussing creators or producers (Like so many people made a huge fuss about LaurenFaust leaving MLP where a comparatively fewer fans cared about M. A. Larson leaving (albeit, temporarily) despite the latter contributing far more to the show).

* Why does he keep mentioning whichever writer wrote an episode of a show? He ''does realize'' that a show has rotating writers assigned to seemingly random episodes, right? ... and that there is a chance they never communicate elements established in the show beforehand to preserve continuity, right? Most of his reviews are complaints about failed continuity in an animated show ''aimed at children''. I don't think he should be so worked up over them. Does it really matter if he has a hang-up with particular writers? His reviews seem less like an analysis about the quality of an episode, and more like an address to which ever writer he's annoyed by at the time. Why can't he simply review an episode by itself?

** In his [[SpongeBobSquarePants "Top 10 Worst 'Squidward Torture Porns' episode",]] he gave a good reasoning for this: In the earlier episodes, Squidward, another character who has pulled some bad shit, not as bad as Plankton, but still, deserved punishment for his actions, like in "Naughty Nautical Neighbours", where he was in the wrong. The thing is, what you mentioned above was that Plankton was the clear villain in those episodes on what he did. We wanted him to see punishment for these. In this episode, in the context of the story, all Plankton did was attempt to steal the formula. In return, Mr. Krabs [[DisproportionateRetribution attempted to]] [[DrivenToSuicide drive Plankton to suicide.]] In short, that is what indicates who is the [[DesignatedHero supposed hero,]] and [[DesignatedVillain supposed villain]] of Modern SpongeBob. If Krabs did any of the above, [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality they would be considered OK because he is one of the
good guys.]]

** I would agree with this but when Mr Enter said "people normally consider the guy who does so And so to be the bad guyy" in relation to Mr. Krabs he lists off several things Krabs did in other episodes, not just this one. Which means he's judging Krabs for what he did in this episode with the added context of what he did in other episodes. All I'm saying is, shouldn't he also judge plankton the same way?

* Does anyone else feel that he has a bias against certain characters? In his One Coarse Meal review he constantly points out the many bad things Mr. Krabs has done while painting Plankton as nothing more than a pretty thief who hasn't done anything more horrendous than that...except for the fact that Plankton HAS done worse things than just attempted thievery. In fact, one could make a reasonable argument on why Plankton deserved being psychologically tortured out of all the things he's done. But, Mr. enter didn't cover anything else Plankton besides attempted thievery while pointing out several bad things Krabs did from modern times to even the early seasons. I'm confused as to why Plankton gets a free pass after all the shit he's pulled (i.e manipulating people to get what he wants, brain washing people, enslaving people, enslaving an entire race of creatures complete with a whip, not just stealing from a competitor but also wrecking said competitor's merchandise several times, lying, unplugging his own wife which to her is the equivalent of dying or being put in a coma just so he can cheat on her, etc.) Are we all just going to forget these crimes he's committed just because someone else on the show started doing them as well?

** That, and he's a freelance writer himself.

** Because sometimes the writers might have their own writing strengths and weaknesses [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic (i.e. Cindy Morrow is good at writing drama and emotional moments and Dave Polsky is good at writing comedy and slapstick.)]] and some writers are prone to writing bad episodes [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants (like Casey Alexander And Zeus Cervas.)]]

** To be fair, several instances of broken continuity happen when they make a callback to a particular episode they broke continuity for. Also, season 4 first half is the favorite half season stretch so far...

* Why does he feel the need to give writers "running scores"? Is he gonna do anything with them by the end of the season? .... are the writers his personal friends?

** While this is the only problem I have with him as well, it is worth mentioning if the reviewed episode got CreatorBacklash from the writer, such as Creator/LaurenFaust and [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends "Everyone Knows It's Bendy"]]
