I wholeheartedly agree with the issue of flanderization problem.

Characters such as Patrick Star and Squidward were poorly perceived as villains due to how they portrayed in Post First Movie Season (Season 4-Season 9) and the one who should be blamed are new animators who had no idea how to run the show when Stephen Hillenburg left. Their poor portrayal was one of reasons why they initially appeared in this wikia, but what I hate most is said new animators looked as if they wanted to make Plankton a true hero at the cost of the rest of main casts degenerated into villains until Stephen set the whole things right.

Regardless of the case, it is clear flanderization is wrong and stupid It's even worse if you are not astute nor critical enough to notice it.
