Plankton wants the Krabby Patty secret formula. SpongeBob is standing in his way. Apparently that's enough fuel for years of increasingly desperate schemes.
The mismatch is half the fun. Plankton treats his mission like a criminal mastermind while SpongeBob can derail him with optimism, loyalty and the occasional completely accidental victory. One is consumed by the feud; the other sometimes seems surprised there even is one.
That gives this rivalry its own flavor against Tom and Jerry’s mutual warfare or He-Man and Skeletor’s straight hero-villain battle. Does Bikini Bottom have the matchup to beat?
