they never said they would sing Sweet Victory. Like, imagine telling a band "Hey so we think you shouldn't sing any of your own songs but rather one from an episode of a cartoon almost 20 years ago". Plus general audiences would have been confused as fuck if Spongebob was the crux of the halftime show.
like yeah it would have been cool and all but it wasn't gonna happen. Fans are just ungrateful, they could have easily done nothing.
Yeah they teased and advertised for millions of fans so they could help announce Travis Scott? Plus the halftime show was reportedly difficult to fill, so Maroon 5 couldn't have played a cool rallying song about winning? Ask any fan and they will say that they wanted Sweet Victory and it wasn't difficult to misinterpret given that petitions were signed to have that song played. It's not about being ungrateful. This is about being completely and utterly misled.
wasn't that tease literally like a single frame of Spongebob?
also just because petitions were signed doesn't mean they had to do it. People are overreacting. Like I said, they could have literally just done nothing. Something like 100 million people watch the superbowl, the fans who wanted it would have barely made a difference one way or the other and I think it was still cool of them to do any tribute at all because they didn't have to
How far in advance was the planning done before that guy died? Them inserting the clip seemed awkward, it makes me think they crammed it in there last minute.
Atleast understand why people feel this way. Yeah they didn't have to do it but this was the chance for the NFL to connect with a new audience but they couldn't do that right either. Why would they tease it if all they were gonna do was announce somebody else? We didn't start the hype for a mere cameo and they knew that.
Yes, but see, the small amount of happiness that an actual performance of Sweet Victory would have brought me is far outweighed by the pleasure I get from laughing at people who are strongly upset about what CBS did.
Who fucking cares? Maroon 5 sucks. The Super Bowl sucks. Half Time shows suck. Spongebob is cool, but WTF does he have to do with anything?
Like, I get the creator died and whatnot...but like...was he into football or something? Did he have any connection to the NFL? It seems totally out of left field.
bruh the NFL isn't desperate for ratings for the Superbowl. Do you realize how huge an audience of 100 million is? That's literally a third of the population of the United States. I doubt anyone who was only going to watch the game for a halftime show related to Spongebob would continue to be an NFL fan later.
Spongebob is popular and all but it's nowhere near popular enough to get them to restructure the halftime show at their biggest event around it. It's legitimately surprising they acknowledged it at all instead of just telling fans to piss off.
Can you tell them to grow up for me? They apparently don't understand that no one gives a fuck about dumbasses butthurt over a fucking children's cartoon
nobody but you fucking dorks wants to sit through two and a half minutes of Opera rock as written by a children's cartoon. "cool rallying song" what the fuck?
I can barely fathom why some adults would be disappointed that they didn't participate along in their antics(instead of giving a small nod) but are the looneys there actually thinking that playing sweet victory would make superbowl "memorable"?
Spongebob had 5 million viewers on its best day, superbowl lost twice that much in between 2017-2018, without much impact. How do you delude yourself to think playing something you care about will make the event, which every third American watches, memorable?
Alright, you guys got a shout out for your children's cartoon show on the biggest sporting event of the year. What the hell do you want?? The whole fucking broadcast to stop so an honestly terrible song related to a hyperactive sea sponge can annoy millions so you feel some sort of validation. This is precisely why people complain about the younger generation and nobody takes any of your bullshit seriously.

The petition is a couple months old but I can't find online how far out these halftime shows are planned and rehearsed
1 MalcolmFFucker 2019-02-04
They probably had enough time to do it, but they thought it would be too much of a financial risk.

I would have rather them not do it at all if they were only going to give people a fraction of what they wanted.
1 MasterLawlz 2019-02-04
that's just petty and childish

Imagine being upset over a song from a kids cartoon not being played at the halftime show. lol.

1 martini29 2019-02-04
I mean if the super bowl wanted to entertain us why did they trot out 3 artists ranging from has-beens to literally who for the half time show
1 shiwanshu_ 2019-02-04
Free labour. Superbowl performers are paid in exposure.
