This deserved more episodes. They’re still making bank on merchandise despite the show (excluding the Netflix movie) not having a new episode in over 2 decades

DIARRHEAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>219118848>womenit was literally girls.little girls like shows that are fun, bright and quirky.you forget what year this came out? millennialcore wasn't a thing yet.

>>219118587>>219118808>>219118848>>219119455>>219119462>>219119505there was nothing wrong with this btw
>>219119609Of course not. There was a time where fun was the baseline of experience on the internet.
>random is... LE BAD
>>219119455it was young teenagers primarily, like 10-14 like my cousin was super into it and she was 11 when it first came out
>fumble up the movie so badly nobody talks about itThey ruined Gaz by "redeeming" her character.
>>219119462Take me back. Fuck.
>>219119743I was too old to watch it and i'm 36, dead in the middle between X and Zoomers.Doesn't mean 7 years of milennials behind me who were like 8-10 weren't watching it.13, 14 was a bit too old for this show. Most girls I remember at that time were more worried about us trying to go out and start "rebelling" in some stupid way.
>>219119609le penguin of doom has arrived!
>>219119756The movie was fine, and every character remained the same they always were. However, my issue with the comics (the original source material for the movie) it's that they ditched the edge and atmosphere from the original run, and it made the thing more slapstick, and less "sharp" and cool. Zim got part of its charm from Vasquez goth roots.
>>219120020The only thing the movie was missing is Tak. I really liked how it handled giving everyone an arc, it was very unexpected but felt totally earned. But Tak is a huge missing crater. Dib stole her ship. Zim fucked her over. The Tallest don't even know she exists. If I recall correctly she was supposed to be apart of, or even the leader of the irken resistance in the original pitch. So where was she? Would have made a kick-ass last second twist villain. "Hey now that the Irken Armada is done Tak is here to take over and run their shit with some basic competency"
>>219118808The emo/scene sluts of the time loved it. I miss emo sluts
>>219119455>millennialcoreNeck yourself zoomer. You are the nigger of generations. Hope you get vaporized in WW3
>>219119455Dude most kids weren't even aware of Invader Zim when it was airing or didn't like it because it was cancelled for low ratings vs the budget of an episode.
>>219120335>36 years old>zoomerwut>>219120463two seasons is pretty fucking good m8 you fucking serious?how many countless shows were canceled season one?how many animes never got a second season?two seasons, a special, all the swag at every store, and a movie years later is highly successful. hot topic pretty much owes Jhonen their store.
>>219120557>two seasons is pretty fucking good m8 you fucking serious?Yeah, it is pretty common knowledge if you were ever into Invader Zim that it was cancelled for low ratings compared to the production cost like a Futurama situation.
>>219117972this show ruined a generation
>>219120557The show has a lot of fuel still, they axed it too soon.https://zim.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Unfinished_Episodes
>>219120636It does but there's just no way it would be as high quality as the original two seasons. Florpus isn't bad but it was too clean of a style.
>>219120620once again, two seasons is fucking good.you lack perspective entirely.because do I really have to pull up the hundreds of pages of shows that got only one season or even better were pulled while they were airing?Two seasons means you were successful in the animation world. That means a shit ton of people were watching your first season and had interest in it.Which means yes people would know what the show was.Who cares if the second season didn't do well, it was still successful.>>219120636i think three seasons would have been best, don't push your luck. I know Jhonen though was already creatively drained, he felt most of his comics had the same skits. He had been doing it since the 90s and now it was the mid 2000s.Hell he fucked off on his works almost entirely to start working as a legitimate animator for Disney, etc.Being an artist is way overrated, sometimes just getting paid is more rewarding.t. musicianafter first three albums, I just want to go back to enjoying music again.
>>219120724Back in the day, when it was cancelled, it was going to be as good as the rest they had produced so far. Florpus was based on comics made after cancellation that changed the tone of the original series. The unfinished episodes had the exact same quality of writing and style. https://youtu.be/W7Jql_46XkA
>>219120906>Being an artist is way overrated, sometimes just getting paid is more rewarding.I agree that creative endevours are better kept as personal passion projects.
>>219120906>once again, two seasons is fucking good.Honestly, your personal take is irrelevant here. this is the official word from Jhonen and Nick. And beyond that, history is full of creative works that weren't appreciated in their time. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a perfect example: it bombed at the box office and only found its audience years later. You of all people, being a hot shot in the music industry, should understand that better than anyone.
>>219121100Not to mention the grind is way different now.Since everyone can see, hear, or "experience" your art now at any given second.None of it is meaningful in any way.I have a song that took me personally about 3 months, all instruments written, played, exception the singer who dubbed over.It's almost an 8 minute song also.After we released that album the song has maybe gotten only a hundred listens, everyone skips it to go to our more popular songs.When I say three months of work I mean literally 3 months of work. not just an hour or two a day, but entire days.I'd rather have not written it at all.i felt no satisfaction afterwords, there is no great audience for most of us.I'd much rather have just played my guitar and keyboard and had fun.selling out is way more lucrative than hipsters would tell you.>put out another pseudo black metal album with female singer>instant 10k fans>the album is the most intellectually garbage thing I've ever heard and takes no skill to write or playmakes me money though
>>219121391it's not a personal take kid, it's quantifiable.IF 99% of shows only get one seasonANDa show fits into the .1% of all shows that gets a second seasonit was profitable enough to get a second season, therefore it was quantifiably successful.You need to put your ego aside dude. You have no leg to stand on.
>>219118808i'm heavily autistic, all my friends in ~2004 watched zim. only kids who didn't were too poor for cable.
>Little girl: "Will you tell us about the most HORRIBLE X-mas ever?">Robot snowman: "Haha. No, little girl, no I won't.">Robot snowman gets corrective electric shock by his programming>Robot snowman: "Wait a minute. Yes I will!"
>>219120906>t. musicianwhat genre?favorite country you've played?
Zim was the best nickelodeon cartoon right? maybe I'm forgetting one.
>>219121437>>the album is the most intellectually garbage thing I've ever heard and takes no skill to write or playi have a friend that does music, years back his band was ~50k monthly streams on spotify, he got asked to fill in for a 1mil a month band, said it was kinda embarrassing doing songs with such generic meaningless lyrics that you could write in middle school, but it was a favor to his friend to fill in.
>>219121507You are telling me that your take is objective fact when all I have done is give you the source and telling me that I have a big ego. This is insane. But I suppose that's to be expected from someone who larps about being a hot shot musician on /tv/ I'd ask for even a vocaroo so you can dunk on me but you'll deflect because you don't have one... Anyways.Getting a second season proves a show survived it doesn't prove it thrived. Networks renew shows for all kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with raw profitability: contractual obligations, brand relationships, promotional deals, cheap production costs, or simply filling a time slot. Nickelodeon in particular was heavily invested in Jhonen's vision it can also mean they just believed it would pay off but it didn't. If 99% of shows get cancelled after one season, then the barrier to renewal is low ratings and low revenue not high ones. Clearing that bar means you didn't fail. It doesn't mean you succeeded by any meaningful measure.Invader Zim was cancelled after two seasons with episodes left unaired. If renewal equals quantifiable success, what does cancellation mid-run equal? You can't use renewal as your proof of success and then ignore what the ending tells you.The people who made the show have directly addressed its performance. That's not ego that's the source.
>>219121718>Zim was the best nickelodeon cartoon right?Right.
>>219121701No pure strain.>black metal, shock metal, industrial metal, synth(dark,pop,hyper,wave,etc), ethereal.Depends on the song, our best sellers are always the metal blends, but those are usually only half our albums.it's mind numbing to write and unlike Varg and all those pretentious eurotrash faggots it actually takes no real skill to play.mainly due to the simplicity of the music in its inherent chord structure, flow.I'm the one who forces the band to add deviation because I grew up on 80s/90s industrial and euro music. Which people love in the metal songs, but USA has no ear for that kind of music when it is in the other songs.we've never toured world, only regional fame.surprisingly large amount of mexicans listen to us though, never thought that would become a thing, but mexicos metal community is growing huge right now.I think we might release one more album and the band will be over. I'm in thirties, the other band members are late twenties and starting their official lives know what I mean?We won't get stardom, it's impossible to get stardom anymore.
i thought the show got cancelled because nickeledon was intervening too much and jhonen got tired of it
>>219122009Damn I didn't realize there were so many tards on /tv/ because I thought this was common knowledge. It's literally on the Wiki article, but yeah Nick stepping in and forcing shit jokes was also a factor>"The most likely culprits are simply ratings and the sheer expense of the show, which was monstrously expensive at the time, especially when compared to more modern, flash-based savings fests."
>>219121953>surprisingly large amount of mexicans listen to us though, never thought that would become a thing, but mexicos metal community is growing huge right now.i've been telling people for years and they don't believe me, mexicans are taking over the internet. idk what happened with their standard of living but since covid they been really showing up everywhere.>I think we might release one more album and the band will be over. I'm in thirties, the other band members are late twenties and starting their official lives know what I mean?my friends in the opposite situation, he had 1 member leave when they were still struggling but it's only been up for them, just got on a really big record label and sunk a ton of money into their new album, nowhere near the 1mil a month spotify stream area but the community loves them and their live shows so they're making a decent living for now.they're in a much softer genre than your euro black metal stuff though, much closer to american metal.
>>219121848(you)Every once in a while, someone on 4chan will call someone else out on their bullshit.This is one of those moments.I've achieved more in one song, than you have ever achieved artistically in your life.Literal hundred+ of carefully crafted midi, audio, sampled, live played tracks painstakingly put together.If you don't know what you're talking about, sometimes LARPing on the computer isnt healthy for you guy.>>219121823bet he really enjoyed that paycheck though right?I think i know a dude who played with keith urban and did some backup work for taylor swift as a guitarist a few years back in nashville tn who said it was a lot like that.it's painful because you gotta fake the energy, the smile, cool factor.I wouldn't know, i've played in front of like a hundred-two hundred people at most. they want us to act like retards.
>>219122555>Goes into a huge autistic meltdown because I dared call him a larper>Muh artisanal midi lego block placement even doe I just said a post ago it takes no skillOk, no vocaroo either. And you've clearly given up on the argument about Invader Zim. Have a nice day larper ;)
>>219122809Uh oh there is that cortisol spike happening you silly goober.
>>219122555>bet he really enjoyed that paycheck though right?oh for sure he finally got a taste of real touring money and quit driving uber and working boring day jobs between tours.>it's painful because you gotta fake the energy, the smile, cool factor.yeah it's gotta be so shit just being a prop for somebodys art instead of performing your own.and when that art is so bland and wide reaching with no real meaning to the artist or the band, feels like wasting your time making stuff that means something to you when this is the type of shit that gets mass success.
>>219121718Spongebob.
>>219121718avatar the last airbender was worlds better.nick also had ahhh!! real monsters which really gave birth to zim in a way. if it wasn't for nick taking a chance on that kind of dark and slightly random, slightly adult humored show, zim would have probably never gotten the green light.
>>219122880>NO U MADAmazin' also unlike yourself I'm not afraid to post music I make because it exists :^) go ahead and say it sucks to protect your ego lil buddy.https://vocaroo.com/1kbFPKAwDisp
>>219121718not even in the top 5 bro.
>>219123185whats top 5 then
>>219123181whats your soundcloud
>>219123181Ape Escape 4 when?
>>219123181nta but this is like some background music type shit, not a song with the purpose of people actually listening to it and performing it live etc.not to say it sounds bad or anything, it's totally inoffensive
>>219122922I mean that's probably why it's gonna be the last album.The singer bless her heart was always young and now is middle 20s, she is finishing college.We've got money from this, but it's just at the point where it pays for equipment, recording, etc. The other drummer/guitarist (works drum machine), bassist are about to be 30 and i'm the oldest.I can't keep doing this, period.I got a friend coming back from tour tonight actually we are going on a hike tomorrow and he hit mid 20s this year.He loves it, but he has already said if that band fails he is done. It's so much work just to have a couple of fans see you every once in a while.Also you're completely replaceable, averages two years.Every two years a new band will come in younger, with more energy, maybe be nepobabies with more money, the cycle repeats.We hit I think 7 year mark which is absolutely ancient for a regional band, 4 years is cult status. Past 10 years you are a legend.IDK if we hit 10 year mark I can't imagine myself pushing near 40 doing this.AlsoI got no one to talk to anymore.Every show it's the same friends, same older crowd of guys, same conversations.Younger shows are misery, pure misery. I feel awkward and honestly I feel perverted being around such young people.I don't know how guys in the 80s actually were okay with banging 18 year old strange.Some of these girls man, they look like porcelain angels. Faces don't have wrinkles, flawless stone.Just go home and find a nice cute boy to spend your time with and enjoy life.
>>219123398Well I love scores and soundtrack type music
I WANT MY SLAW!
>>219123181>using vocaroo for music>doesn't link bandcampthat's all anyone needs to know.i'm not the anon you're talking to, but I know him IRL and we are roasting you.https://ataractic.bandcamp.com/track/momentary-life-daisuke-ishiwatari-coveractually have the balls to do something with your life.for anyone else interested, we have our one song little miss misery being finished soon, hopefully on spotify within next few months.check it out it's on the bandcamp.
>>219123709>>219123709Yes I use Vocaroo because even if I had a soundcloud or Bandcamp I wouldn't want to post it here where an angry schizo tard then tries to dox me or something>Dude we just put out a song and it got us like 10k followers bro I'm like so rich from music bro please anons suck my cock>Doesn't even have 100 followers on insta>Larping as your "bandmate"This is actually really sad lmao. The fact you had to derail a thread to advertise your shit "band" is all I need to know
>>219123840>yEs I UsE VoCaRoOyeah that's why we know you aren't even close to serious about making music.once again have some fucking balls.
>>219123709>https://ataractic.bandcamp.com/track/industrial-jam-session-1I really like the start of this
>>219123457You have your slaw, sir
>>219123933Yeah, it's just something I do for fun outside of work but it is my only hobby if you don't count watching movies. You're a sad man if you think the only way you can be serious about a hobby is if you do it for attention and money. Definition of soulless
It was trannyism 0.01
>>219124136You're getting really defensive for someone who pretends you do it just for fun though.
>>219117972>tfw have butt pustulio
>>219117972This shit was proto reddit.
>>219124206Do you just default to >NO U MADwhen you got nothin to reply with?
>>219124256Anon, look at yourself.You're not even responding to the same dude.You are unironically for like an hour now autistically arguing in a thread on 4chan.You literally just got done typing>do it for attention>sad manand you are now arguing with a completely different anon. you are trying to have an ego and impress people on the internet while telling someone else they are wrong. who are you arguing for here?
>>219124385Oh you aren't?>Why are you arguingBecause some NPD autist had a meltdown I provided him a factoid about why a children's cartoon was cancelled.
Okay, hopefully that autistic shit is over.What is everyone's favorite invader zim episode?
>>219124505BALOOOOONEY
>>219124493nevermind, the fucking autistic retard can't get the fucking hint.>NO I DONT TAKE MY MUSIC SERIOUSLY>Proceeds to autistically screech for a literal fucking hourtake a fucking hint m8, take it, get some fucking help and sort your fucking life out cunt god damn
>>219124557Bro you've been having a meltdown since >>219122555when I called you a larper and are continuing with your melty
It's a solid show. People who hate on it just because they're scared of being associated with the insufferable lolrandum scene kids who happen to comprise a vocal portion of the fanbase are so insecure it's beyond pathetic.
>>219119455>millennialcore wasn't a thing yet>ended the same year Firefly startedOK. You're right. But that was close.
>>219121718rockos modern life was 100x better
>>219119609>>219126549It's worth remembering that 'insufferable lolrandom scene kids' were mostly just... teenagers being teenagers and it was cynical adults who made them feel embarrassed about it. There's nothing wrong with kids acting like kids.
>>219124086I WANT MY SLAW!
