Does anyone else hate what's been done to Mr. Krabs?

    He's become a real jerk now. He's constantly stealing, lying, breaking laws, nearly killing people, and generally acting like an inconsiderate **** who doesn't give a damn about anyone else. He's gotten away with counterfiet, poisoning innocents, holding people against their will, threatening, breaking in and robbing, and various other things.

    ...And he's never gotten in trouble. Not once. I really hate this. Whatever happened to the goodhearted sailor who was only slightly cheap? He was friendly, wise, and tough and would always help people in their time of need. He wasn't desperate for money. He never grew insane over a penny, or chained someone to a register so they won't leave without buying. His greed has gone to incredibly high levels, to the point that he'd deny spending a cent (which would save his daughter's life) because he's so cheap. The only time I remember ever seeing him with any sense of goodness was in "Overbooked", where he was nice, understanding, and seemed to be far less money-crazy than before.

    It really bothers me. What do you think?

    I mistyped: "The only time I've seen him with any kind of heart currently would be in 'Overbooked'..." is what my previous post should say.

    The sad part about the fact that he doesn't get in trouble is that everyone thinks he doesn't deserve to get arrested.

    Mr.karbs has always been like that. It has been happening since the pilot. He was always cheap, and he was meant to be like that. Cheap people are`nt always jerks. He just loves money.

    That's not the point. He NEVER let money go before Pearl. Ever.

    Not really. Name one time that he'd rather have money than Pearl in the early episodes.

    I'm referring to how he's changed throughout the course of the show.
    Look at the early episodes, from the first season to the third. Then, look at Chum Caverns, and Growth Spout. There's a difference in character.

    Define early. Early as in Whale of a Birthday, or early as in first two seasons?

    Being cheap is in mr.krab`s character. He was always like that, and he always will be.

    God... and by the way, Mr. Krabs HAS gotten noticeably worse. But hey, don't come on a forum for SpongeBob fans and say something is wrong the show. Fans don't tend to like that.

    He kind of has always been cheap, but he used to be way less cheap then now. I mean, come on, not even spending money on his daughter?

    Meh, it's kind of what makes his character funny, sure he can be cruel sometimes, but it's not like this is a new thing. He traded SpongeBob for 62 cents to the Flying Dutchman! that was overly cheap, and it's from a season 3 episode, so, yah.

    I find it ironic that both "Illuminous" and "Birdette" are always agreeing with each other, and both started to post on the forums at the same time...so I'm guessing there both the same person.
