ulex minor posted:thought this was pretty boring and not as surreal or with as many odd/unique plot concepts as the original. just some re-heated style gags thrown on top of a generic story Pretty much this. Although getting some more of the background science dad was pretty fun, it was honestly kinda generic and tame. Honestly it hit a lot of wholesome notes which felt pretty out of place. Also the character of the sister wasn't anything like how I remember, although it has been over a decade.

Bimmi posted:I watched a shitload of cartoons as a non-kid in the '90s, and always found Rocko to be abrasive unfunny trash that took all the wrong ideas from older, better cartoons. Sorry about your childhoods. That’s pretty much what it was, though. It was something I watched because it was on, kind of like Ren and Stimpy. Watching it now it’s kind of like...the gently caress, did I actually enjoy this before? But I still love Zim, even though the movie isn’t quite like the show. A lot of that is due to the focus being on Dib and his family instead of just Dib trying to thwart Zim while everyone ignores him.

I don't remember Dib or Gaz ever being referred to by their full names before for some reason I thought it was canon that their dad being "Professor Membrane" was just a dumb pulpy name for a scientist and not necessarily indicative of a family name

I'm surprised I can't find a video where Gir is about to sing the Doom Song and then plays the song from Doom

I'll have to watch it again. All Invader Zim merits a second viewing to absorb any details that were missed. My girlfriend couldn't stand the constant screaming. I have to say, this was probably the loudest thing they made, but it's funny that they made their point that they were aware of that.

Epoxy Bulletin posted:Cool that the same voice actors came back. I think this is a bit of an understatement. I wouldn't have touched this with a ten foot pole if the original cast (and Jhonen) weren't there. Turned out to be excellent. Unlike pretty much everything coming back from the dead today (Inspector Gadget, Danger Mouse, MST3K, etc.), they didn't gently caress it up trying to "reboot" it or shoehorn it into "current culture." It's exactly the same as it ever was, which is exactly how it should be. I kept waiting for some horrible change to ruin it, but it never happened. So grateful that Richard Horvitz still has the voice.

The show was good for it's time, and it didn't hold up super well but it's still okay. The new movie made me sad and I gave up after 20 minutes, though. You can see the guy who created it struggling to remember what made the original show work and totaling missing the mark with every whiffed attempt to make a joke. It's like watching your grandfather looking at your grandmother and aaalmost remembering who she is, and then the fog of dementia just rolls back in and he's gone.

I really, really wanted to like this, but unfortunately it really didn't hold up. Some of the zany/wacky stuff remains the same, but I can watch old Zim and still chuckle, this got nothing from me. It was like a stretched-out regular episode, but most of the jokes were whiffs, just another "Zim tries to take over the Earth and Dib defeats him at the last moment" stuff seemed like they were just phoning it in. I liked how Zim and Dib connected on pleasing father figures that would never acknowledge them, but it passed rather quickly. Gaz seemed shoe-horned in just because Dib was there.

Really? Though it seemed like part of the point of it was the Membrane family dynamics and Gaz starting to enjoy ridiculous adventures with Dib. Still like that GIR finally pulls off one of Zim's orders flawlessly because it's as stupid as they are.
