I don't think Jhonen Vasquez has even done much of anything since the last Zim. I mean he's been working, but all his other animated pilots fell through and he hasn't released any comics.

It's hard to tell what Vasquez has been up to because a lot of the stuff on his Wikipedia page sounds completely fictionalquote:Vasquez collaborated with Crab Scrambly to produce the storybook Everything Can Be Beaten, published by Slave Labor in 2002. Vasquez, credited as Chancre Scolex, wrote the story and Crab Scrambly illustrated it. Everything Can Be Beaten is about a strange person who lives in a room in which he can do nothing but beat kittens. However, an adventure into the outside world changes his perspective, and he discovers that "everything can be beaten". Yeah sure that happened.

My gut reaction is that an Invader Zim revival is about 7 years too late. A lot of people my age would've eaten that up in college for sure. But now that money is mortgage payment money. I could be totally wrong though, IDK really.

Spotted this a week ago, but I kinda wanna close the tab so I guess I'll post it here for posterity: https://twitter.com/_rich_moore/status/845512778097934337 I want one, even though it'd probably retail for  . Except it's apparently only for people who worked on the film (or something), so picking one up would be even more . (And as if I have the space for a lifesize statue of Nick Wilde anyway...)

But now that money is mortgage payment money. I could be totally wrong though, IDK really. I'm interested to see how these nostalgic revivals will play out. I can see Zim having a weird cult fanbase, but not Arnold. And there will definitely be a big change in the creative types involved in the production versus the original. Hopefully the end results will be good. Seems like every other day I hear about a That's So Raven sequel series or a Swat Kats Revival Kickstarter. Personally, I'm saving my money for the Donkey Kong Country revival.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9-g7zRpayw

All the annoying kids who quoted Invader Zim in high school have grown up into annoying adults who quote Rick and Morty, if anything the time has never been better.

Invader Zim and Tim Burton probably single-handedly supported Hot Topic for the 90s and 00s. Yea, it's been my experience, that people who are/were really into Zim (and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac) were edgelords completely unaware that they're just as much a "Sheep" like everyone else they made fun of.

A lot of bitter middle/high school resentment seems to be welling up in the thread for some reason. Is this what 90/2000s nostalgia has wrought?

If you're going to plumb people's high school nostalgia for profit, you're going to dredge up the bad stuff too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zim was good and I always thought the style of the show was gorgeous. I'm glad they're doing a movie, which hopefully picks up right after the show ended, because it was cancelled like just as the show was starting to have a big story arc. What with the introduction of Tak and everything. It seemed like they were starting on a big story and possibly an endgame but it was all cut short

I can hardly wait until my daughter is grown up and the theaters are filled with edgy, adult reboots of Paw Patrol and The Amazing World of Gumball.
