Zim was the sellout family-friendly thing Jhonen Vasquez produced, let me know when they're making Johnny the Homicidal Maniac or I Feel Sick into a tv movie

I don't know if I would consider the show to be family friendly considering a lot of people die throughout the series and there are episodes like Dark Harvest where Zim steals the other children's vital organs to appear more human.

There was a GHOST here.
It's gone now.
I like the one where they pulled the little boy's eyeballs out, replaced them with robot eyes and then they exploded in his head when he got attacked by a squirrel.

A Hobbit's Adventure
I'm excited about this! Invader Zim was a whole lot of fun when I was just watching it with my brothers before I knew about the "fanbase," so I hope this TV movie is as good as the tv show! :)

Oh and I liked the one where he took all of the kids' organs and the school nurse told him how healthy he was!

One of the funniest facts I know is that TV's Frank wrote the episode when Zim gets a giant zit named Pustulio.

For a show that was canceled for dumb reasons I'm OK with this.

The most cynical children in the universe maybe. The show is the most nihilistic cartoon to air on a children's network.

I changed my mind, my favorite is Hobo 13, where the tiny slave alien wins billions of dollars on accident, and instead of there being a happy ending or whatever the Tallest just kill him :capitalism:

Someone rewatch an episode and report back to me if it's still as good as I remember it or I just liked it because it was "edgy" to my kid brain.

I think the only part that really suffers as you grow up is some of GIR's lolrandom humor, but that's by no means the whole show, idk.

Invader Zim was pretty awesome, but the episodes are way less consistent than I had remembered.

Still, Dark Harvest, and the Christmas episode.

I am going to watch this despite my hatred for the show's fanbase and the realization that GIR's character stopped being funny about two episodes in.

I wonder if they're going to follow the recent comics and have it turn out that Dib was spending the last few years watching Zim's house from a computer and turning into a huge gross goon
