Is this the cartoon with the most amusing behind-the-scenes anecdotes?
>>
>>151586828
WHAT?
>>
PRIZES PRIZES PRAZIZES!
>>
>>151586875
There where supposed to be cars going by, which was why Zim screaming What made sense. The Korean animators didn't put cars so it's just this weird screaming back and forth.

Also do to an animation error they also had a guy walking drawn like a gaint. The zim team then voiced him laughing and sounds of giant feet.
>>
>>151587296
They're also censor jokes.

I think one is there's a house of people eating cockroaches. So they just changed the cockroaches into little weenies, but the weenies still have legs and are crawling around.

Then Gaz killed Iggins. Which they told they couldn't, so they did an extra shot of Iggins saying "look he's fine he can fly now"
>>
>>151587313
You know what, I just realized you were doing the joke. I feel foolish now.
>>
Sometimes I get the Hot Topic slogans get in my head too much and forget that Invader Zim was actually really funny
>>
>>151587323
NTA, but I enjoyed the other examples, so it wasn't for naught. I wonder how many other gags from cartoons were just goofs turned into jokes. I know that the Dexter's Lab episode at Chubby Cheese's has a seen where the audience just flies away because the notes for the Korean animators were that the "audience takes off" and they misinterpreted it, so they just added a flying sound effect.

Pak of Doom but only alternatively

Dib steal Zim Pak. An Irken Pak is essentials them without it they die. Zim has 10 min to recover his Pak. The 10 min play out in real time. As the clock ticks closer Zim gets more restarted. Originally Zim would get his Pak.

However Jhonen found out about the cancellation, and decided to kill pff Zim where he wouldn't get the Pak. Even with all that in mind he couldn't actually finish the episode before he actually got cancelled.

And a reminder Nickelodeon would bring back Zim post cancellation for a Christmas episode.

If you don't mind I'm a go on a rant. Imvader Zim takes place in the future, not that has any relevance to the plot.

For example Zim, isn't allergic to rain. It's acid rain, but humans have evolved to just take it.

Skool has a secret shadow government that lobotomies the school president to a political puppet that declares they have the cleanest bathroom floors.

The black kid's name is "The letter M"

And JTHM cell door can be seen in the Halloween episode

Okay I'm done

I thought war among humans had stopped due to the totalitarian government BUT there was the threat of invasion and supernatural horror everyday.

Jhonen and Eric’s sense of humor was just so absurd that they could just roll with any censorship or animation error and make it work.
>>
>>151586828
>>151587296
One of my favourites is that when they got back the animation of Ultra-Peepi walking through the city, the kirean animators made it look like he was strutting, so Jhonen decided to add random funk music to that scene

Individual Invaders can reliably conquer planets with advanced civilizations. Zim has personally exceeded Kardashev 1 on occasions. Their ships can fly through the cores of stars at high fractions of light speed without even scuffing the paint. They routinely remodel entire planets according to their whims, and no one in-series can provide meaningful resistance.

Most cartoons have an idolized version of school where the only major problems are bullies and a handful of asshole teachers but the curriculum itself rarely gets scrutinized. Zim's school setting stands out because it portrays the school's lessons as a complete waste of everyone's time fitted with inaccurate information peddled by complete morons.

I agree, and to add to that, none of the students can be easily fit into some kind of cliché archetype (bully, jock, cheerleader pretty girl) and are rather a way to compliment how insane and gross earth is. Like theres this scene where zim is waiting for the bell to ring while looking at a clock, a common scenario in a school setting. But at the same time, you hear Ms. Bitters talking about everything how there was NOTHING before the Big Bang while a fly is stuck in the clock’s gears and gets crushed in the end. It’s something only zim (the show) would do

>>151632779
I've given this a lot of thought. I think it has to do with how Zim and Dib's dynamic plays out a lot like the CCA superhero vs supervillain dynamics. The shipping culture didn't come out of nowhere, it's rooted in how anxious/obsessive the dynamic is between Zim and Dib. It's not too different from how homoerotic capeshit can be, except they're BOTH "girls" in that sense. You can't really square Dib or Zim as the man/the top because they're both irrational/emotionally unstable/anxious/scared/vulnerable, all the time.

The only real "male" character is Membrane.

EEnE follows a similar pattern. Ed is the only real "male" boy while both Eddy and Edd are very immature in a girlish sense. Edd has a high-pitched voice, wimpy, cares about being tidy and clean, and is borderline OCD at times. Eddy fixates on looking cool and dressing in a way/carrying himself to impress others (out of the three, he desires the approval of others the most and cares deeply about what people think of about him).

When it comes to Zim specifically, the show acts as a beacon for autistic girls because it is firmly a sci-horror story while also being applicable towards the Female Autistic American Experience. The anxiousness, isolation, rejection, fear of the Other, body horror, etc.

>Dib grows up in a lonely house. His sister either dismisses him or torments him. His father is always at work or focused on work even when he's at home. Dib longs for his approval and acceptance of his faith in the unknown.
>Dib is rejected by his peers for his looks and his interests. Dib has no friends or companions to call his own. Despite being rejected by a shitty populace, Dib wants these people to like him and see that he is right about the world and Zim's existence.

Dib's whole character is female because if Dib were "male", he flat out wouldn't care about whether or not anyone believed him or accepted him. His mission would be about stopping Zim for its own sake, not about society going "wow Dib, you're so right and so cool". To a degree, Dib seeks approval and love from others because he doesn't love himself enough. Dib has more in common with Shinji Ikari or Dean from Venture Bros if you think about it. Masochistic in his pursuit of emotional connection, and constantly vulnerable (which is what defines the general female experience).

If Dib were more of a guy, he'd be like a tiny Dale Cooper or Fox Mulder.

It has the right mixture of cute and edgy that attracts those type of girls. Guys can like it but it'll be a small facet of their larger edgy and more masculine tastebase meanwhile girls basically just had that Nightmare Before Christmas and whatever tacky edgy cute shit was around at the time.

Cute edgy is probably the best way to describe it. Just look at stuff like psycho teddy

Zim is cute in a weird way, how he always wants to prove himself comes across as endearingly pathetic. Autistic women adore pathetic 2D men.

It's more the network lawyers who do this than the companies themselves. If the company was paying for it they'd be better off just paying for brand promotion directly

Most modern creators aren't really all that talented. That or they're mad they can't fill the episodes with whiny faggot pandering. Alex Hirsch for his faults made a lot of his mandated changes be funnier than his originals but he still bitches and moans constantly about it

I think the movie made her more mature and understanding of what to do in the plot
