What I'm hoping to see, in Spongebob: Sponge out of Water

Ok, so this weekend is the opening of the Spongebob: Sponge out of Water. Now when I first heard about   this movie, I heard that it was supposed to be a direct sequel to the first movie, which was released in 2004. However, when I saw the trailers, I started thinking otherwise. I mean yes, it can be considered a sequel to the first Spongebob film because there haven't been any other theatrical releases in between. On the other hand, the previews didn't seem to show any ties to the original films story. Now don't get me wrong, I am super pumped for this film. The whole storyline with the pirate is alright, but the thing I really want to see is the SpongeBob cast going all Avengers. There is a segment where the main duo all turn into superheroes, it literally seems like a copy of The Avengers. Maybe there could be a third film with the whole group as their superhero identities. That would rock, I'd pay to see stuff like that. The only question is this, why did they decide to use cgi with this movie? They would have been capable of it in 2004, and now there is the interest, I mean, the first film could have encompassed both of these elements a make an awesome film. Is there anything I want to see in this movie? Just one thing, I would love it if Larry the  Lobster went with the trio and became a cgi superdude. He's one of my favorite characters, and having him join the main cast on the show would be a great idea. I'm really pumped for this one. Definitely will land on my list of reviews to come soon.
