** CompleteMonster: While Krabbs is a [[TheScrappy horrible]] JerkAss in the SeasonalRot episodes, Plankton manages to cross the line into this thanks to [[MoralEventHorizon the stuff he pulls off]] here, detailed below.
*** MoralEventHorizon: [[NotSoHarmless Plankton]] definitely crossed this line sometime during the events of ''TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie''. He steals [[JerkassGods King Neptune's]] crown and frames [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Mr. Krabs]] for the deed, leaving him at the mercy of his highness. Keep in mind, he does this knowing full well that Neptune [[DisproportionateRetribution will try to]] [[KillItWithFire kill him with fire]]. If that didn't put him over the line, taking over Bikini Bottom and turning it into [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans an awful hellhole]] definitely does. As WordOfGod says this is the GrandFinale for the series, it's amazing that people still find Plankton sympathetic when he ends up doing all this!

** Unlike the rest of the series, this movie is considerably a lot darker and has plenty of horror elements. There's Plankton who crosses the MoralEventHorizon, [[CompleteMonster Dennis]], the seriously threating thugs, the brainwashing bucket helmets, the skull infested area, the horrible looking monsters, the trench, the diver, and the climax involving drying up and turning into non-anthropomorphic animals in a gift shop. Worse than all of that, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking ALL HAIL PLANKTON!!!]]

* CompleteMonster: Dennis.
** The Cyclops.
** Plankton, showing that he's NotSoHarmless at all. Once he finally gets the Krabby Patty formula, what he does with it is completely unforgiveable. Not to mention the fact he sends Dennis to ''kill'' [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick with no remorse. On top of that, he frames Krabs for stealing Neptune's crown. Not only does he know that this will get Krabs killed, he ''comes to watch him be executed!'' Despite sometimes being an IneffectualSympatheticVillain in the series, this makes it ''very'' clear that he's truly pure evil. And since this has been stated as the true GrandFinale by WordOfGod, it makes it really hard to feel any sympathy for the guy knowing he's going to end up doing ''this!''

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: SpongeBob and Patrick get drunk off of ice cream (which may had alcoholic drugs in it), although they don't vomit, but instead faint.

** It's Mr. Krabs. Does anyone expect him to be gender sensitive before he starts talking?

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Between the beautifully deranged animation, great use of the RogerRabbitEffect, and other special effects, this is one great looking movie.

* TearJerker: Patrick and Spongebob's DisneyDeath. Near the end, as they're slowly drying out under the heat lamp, and SpongeBob has kind of a lengthy monologue about how they failed, and then about how they at least got to Shell City, and they turn to one another, express their gratitude for having each other as friends, and with the last of their strength start singing the "Goofy Goober Song" together, ending with their tears merging to form a heart shape. Even the pirates in the theater were bawling. Bonus points on making such a cheesy song so heartbreaking.

*** [[WildMassGuessing It's very possible that he reached this point due to Mr Krabs, and the stress of competing with him.]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice job destroying Plankton's morality Eugene!]]
