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

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.

Youre right though
