Mr. Krabs is often considered as the worst character in the post movie-era. And Mr. Krabs is an infamous character of SpongeBob SquarePants. He is usually hated in the post-movie era. He became terrible in the Season 7 episode One Coarse Meal
Why He’s Stolen All the Money in Every Bank[]
He is infamous because he is so greedy that he'll do anything for money. He can also be very cruel in some episodes. In fact, in One Coarse Meal, he nearly drove Plankton to suicide by scaring him with his whale costume for 16 days. Mr. Krabs wasn't even innocent anymore in the Pre-Movie Era and Post-Prequel Era than in the Post-Movie Era. He exploited young children for money in Krabby Land, and captured jellyfish for financial gain in Jellyfish Hunter. However, he still had a heart in a few episodes and cares about his employees acting like a father figure to SpongeBob In the Hooky Ending, it was revealed that Mr Krabs planted the hooks for the sake of scaring Spongebob and teaching him a lesson to not play near the hooks. Not only did this result in Spongebob having to strip naked, but also ended with Patrick getting stuffed in a tuna can, barely avoiding death. He is also VERY lazy in post-sequel episodes, as shown in "Sanitation Insanity" and "Abandon Twits".
After the movie, he's better, except in a Season 10 episode that contradicts that by a yard. In Out of the Picture, Mr. Krabs basically attempts to send Squidward to places that may have killed him. Luckily he survived but that's because he can't actually die. At the near end, he chased Squidward with a giant hammer! Screenshots will be provided for proof.
(Season 10) Squidward nearly dies when he's at Mars, thanks to Mr. Krabs.
(Season 10) Mr. Krabs commits attempted murder, while SpongeBob could have been badly hurt as well.
He was still pretty greedy in the pre-movie era, but not as cruel.
In every 'Mr. Krabs torture' episodes, he is in his old personality.
According to PhantomStrider, Mr. Krabs was always a greedy, money hungry, cruel, monster.
He is seen that he'd do anything to save a single dollar, whether it be driving plankton to the point of suicide, overworking his employees into insanity.
In fact, these reasons make him feel like the actual main antagonist of the series and not Plankton.
