Hey everyone
How would you rank modern Spongebob seasons? By modern Spongebob seasons I mean seasons 9B-15 as I guess most people would say these seasons are "modern Spongebob"
I know these seasons have a lot of different opinions: some people really like them and think they are almost as good as seasons 1-3, some think they are worse than the "dark era" seasons(6-8/9A) and others think that only few seasons are good while the rest are not.
So I would like to know what you think of these seasons.

My take:
Season 9B was really good. It had some bad or "meh" episodes but overall it was a good season.
Season 10 was worse.0 Most of it was fine but it was also too short in my opinion.
Season 11 was better, it had better episodes(as well as worse episodes) and it was the most creative and unique season in the show imo, so I appreciate that even though it is not one of my favorite seasons.
Season 12 was... okay? I am not sure I have watched all the episodes in that season. It had some good episodes, some bad episodes and some forgettable episodes.
Season 13 was probably worse. To be honest, in this point I pretty much lost my hope in this show to become better. I don't think it is bad, but I find it hard for me to really enjoy it anymore. Most of the episodes are forgettable for me
Seasons 14 and 15 are seasons that I have watched only some episodes from each and again, it is extremely forgettable for me. They are alsp short seasons, I don't know why.
So, season 9B was good, season 10 was fine but too short, season 11 was very creative and seasons 12-15 are forgettable. So for me it is 9B>11>10>12>13-15
 
Season 9B: I quite like it, my favorite of the post-sequel era. I don't find some episodes as good (for example, the one with Pearl), but I don't recall anything I disliked.

Season 10: I also like it, although the hyperactive humor starts and the characters' expressions begin to be more similar to the seasons that come after it. I've liked this season more over time.

Season 11: Mixed, I'd say. The hyperactive humor begins, and other aspects I mentioned in 2023 begin to be more noticeable in the series. Here, I start to see episodes (like the one with Patrick reading) that I don't like in some ways. As I said at the time, because of the message it conveys.

Season 12: I'd say the same as the previous one, but the aspects of the previous two seasons are more pronounced. Although I don't like it as much as the previous ones, it could still be an entertaining season for me.

Season 13: My least favorite, so far. I think this season is very weak in terms of writing, and some episodes seem like they were written by an AI. In the second half, I notice improvement in some aspects. But, personally, I feel it lacks ambition. Also, I don't like the episode where they form a club against SpongeBob.

I haven't seen seasons 14 and 15 yet.

9B > 10 > 11 > 12 > 13

That would be my ranking for now.

1. Season 11 this is easily the best post sequel season and it has some of the best and most unique episodes of the whole show like Squid Noir, Scavenger Pants, Karen’s Virus, Legends of Boo Bikini Bottom, Mustard O Mine etc. plus I love how experimental and fast paced the episodes are

2. Season 12 just like season 11 I love how experimental and unique this season is episodes like Krusty Koncessionaires, Dream Hoppers, Krusty Bucket, and Mind the Gap are truly one of a kind episodes and Big Birthday Blowout was a phenomenal 20th anniversary special it does have more weak episodes than S11 but it’s still an awesome season regardless

3. Season 10 just like seasons 11 and 12 was a very fast paced energetic season which I loved and it had some truly phenomenal episodes like Mimic Madness Unreal Estate and Feral Friends and some of the funniest post sequel episodes like The Getaway and Life Insurance. However it was too short so it’s only number 3 for me

4. 9B I prefer seasons 10-12 more than 9B for their energy and fast paced nature but 9B is still awesome regardless. It brought new life back into the show after so many lackluster season and had some awesome episodes with unique concepts like Goodbye Krabby Patty and Bulletin Board

5. Season 15 this season was an improvement over seasons 13 and 14 but lots of episodes in it leave a lot to be desired but still it’s a good season with some great hilarious episodes like Sandman Cometh and Firehouse Bob and let’s not forget Delivery the Doom which is the best episode the show has done since like season 12

6. Season 13 this season was really weak honestly lots of episodes in it were either very boring and slow and others just had very wasted concepts. Not to mention this is the season that incorporated Narlene into the main show who’s a terrible character. It does have some good episodes like Big Top Flop or Salty Sponge but overall very weak season

7. Season 14 THIS SEASON SUCKED the absolute worst season since the dark era this season felt so soulless and absolutely devoid of any substance the entire time. Practically every episode was very poorly paced barely had any humor and cohesive plots not to mention some genuinely terrible episodes like Squidiot Box which was a horrible remake of Idiot Box in every way and SpongeChovy and In The Mood to Feud which was 11 minutes of literally nothing. Overall a really bad season but good thing season 15 was an improvement over this absolute train wreck of a season
