(Iggins was supposed to die in an elevator crash and Nickelodeon wouldn't allow it. This appears at the end of the episode to fix it)

ChickenHeart posted: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. Gir was not supposed to be funny and was supposed to be incredibly irritating. They were shocked enough when people thought the garbage robot was cute, they couldn't have predicted that he'd be the model for modern youtube personalities.

The coolest thing about the Zim comics is they pushed Gir down to small moments and no one says Doom or piggies. And Dib's still the best character.

I assume zim was family-friendly, but it scared me as a child. I don't really remember any of the show now, so that's really all I have to say. Thanks for listening.

The two best parts of zim are that weird scene where zim and dib are yelling across the road and zim can't hear and the reason is that they were supposed to animate cars but didn't want to because it was funnier not making any sense and the part where the santa suit is made of "a vortian liquid" and everyone thought it said "abortion liquid" and it still kinda sounds like it probably does say that.

Lol, Zim ranting in front of the camera in the Santa suit was supposed to be Hulk Hogan/Randy Savage -esque but they nixed it for some reason.

I like when they forgot to color in Membrane's legs, so it looks like he has no pants in the Christmas episode. But one of the best sound gags in the show is when Gir comes home after this rave with all these girls, and he waves goodbye as they drive off, and you hear this HORRIFIC crash in the background.

CelticPredator posted:I like when they forgot to color in Membrane's legs, so it looks like he has no pants in the Christmas episode. The two things that need to come over from the original series is the crushing atmosphere of contempt the show has for everyone in it, and loads of unnecessary, disturbing ADR inserted into every scene.

Invader Zim is in fact still good. If anything the first few issues of JTHM are more cringe worthy than any episode of Invader Zim.

If anything the fact that its a kids show helps keeps the over-the-top edgy crap from JV's other works from seeping in while allowing for some bending/challenging of the standard, kinda like how the old Ren and Stimpy went down.

Cubone posted:I haven't read it in like 15 years but the issue where Johnny is barely in it might have been the best Yeah JTHM got better once Jhonen realized he should hammer home the point that Johnny was in fact not cool, but rather an incredibly broken human being who is not to be emulated. Also the revelation that Nny's condition was at least partially due to malevolent supernatural causes helped. Sqee was his best comic. skeletonotherkin fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Apr 7, 2017 |

Vasquez was pretty young when he wrote JTHM, and it reflects that fact. It doesn't hold up, but it does work very well when you're a young teen. So hey. Squee is much, much better. The one where Squee has to pee and the guy in the stall explodes in a shower of blood and poo poo is the funniest thing.

Actually, Jhonen's best comic so far is Zim issue #5. Where Dib shuts off Gaz's game so she could come and look at his "findings" and she sends him into a nightmare game world and tortures him endlessly. It's got some great jokes, and it ends with genuine heart which is weird for a Zim story to do. But it also ends with pain which is funny.

iirc I Feel Sick was more about just making peace with your damage Devi is contrasted with Johnny because she doesn't buy into the delusion or whatever her sole heroic quality by the end of it is realizing that, even if she'll never be happy, that doesn't mean she should be a huge malignant piece of poo poo about it really, that's the lesson in all three series. all the protagonists suffer, but where Squee rolls over and suffers more, and Johnny is the worst piece of poo poo in the universe and no better off for it, Devi takes no poo poo but does no harm, and has the closest thing to a happy ending e: I'm a nerd, sorry.

JTHM and IZ where something I enjoyed....I think though they probably belong in the late 1990's. Also why is nick doing this now? They hated zim....I never forget when i went to watch zim and it was replaced with butt ugly marshions
