How Neptune's Spatula should've been fixed/rewritten,while it was a okay episode,had a good concept of SpongeBob competing against in a cookoff against King Neptune, and had plenty of good jokes,such as King Neptune opening up to reveal Tom Kenny in a shower by mistake,the lady saying "Holy Smokes" in a deep voice, and King Neptune zapping Patrick everytime he fights with him over the number of challenges SpongeBob has,the entire episode felt like filler of complete unneccesary moments and gags,Neptune being a complete jerk throughout this entire episode(he was even more worse in The Clash of Triton and I hated him even more there than he was in the episode) by having the first half of the episode had Neptune constantly tormenting,belittling,and humilating SpongeBob in front of everyone(even if SpongeBob did call him out for being a bully and a liar,the way he acted and laughed out at SpongeBob for pulling the spatula from the grease and insulted him was still really mean)and zapping Patrick for standing up to SpongeBob,Mr.Krabs going behind SpongeBob's back to bet his money on Neptune against him in the cookoff,Neptune rubbing his near-fry cook success in front of SpongeBob's face and refusing to say no to SpongeBob when he refuses to go to Atlantis and become a god(which backfires since SpongeBob decides to hire him as a trainee at the Krusty Krab),and Neptune accidentally zapping Patrick to normal,with his face now on his butt as a result of a mistake.
While the episode was okay/decent and gave me a few laughs,but not as good as the rest of the episodes of Season 1,how it could've been rewritten and fixed and changed into a better episode without Neptune being a full-on jerk of a god by laughing and mocking at SpongeBob,the mean-spiritedness,the constant torture,humilation, and abuse towards SpongeBob for no reason(just because he pulled the spatula from the grease,doesn't mean he deserves to be bullied and mistreated and called puny for it and I felt so bad for him through most of the episode being laughed and mocked at by Neptune and even Patrick and Mr.Krabs weren't loyal to him enough and didn't have the courage to stand up and defend him from King Neptune and join him in calling him out on his selfishness,rudeness,and unkindness towards SpongeBob ),and most of the filler(except for the argument between Patrick and Neptune over the number of challenges SpongeBob would face,with him getting zapped and barbacued by Neptune every time(except having Patrick being changed back to completely normal this time instead of being zapped back to normal with his face on his butt and the Tom Kenny shower joke).
