AND THERE WE HAVE IT!

Episode 1 complete. Damn,that was a pretty good set up.

We know that his boss hates Zim (and somehow fear him?). Zim has a lovable but annoying and hyper robot Gir who doubles as a dog. He is pretending to be a human child to get information at skool where he meets his arch nemasis: Dib the Anime Matrix Boy.

There is so much lowkey absurd humor to this. The constant insults, the sense of dread and drama in everything. The exaggerated faces and voice acting, but then we get some nice small expressions like Zim’s smile. Man, this pilot went all out to tell us what exactly Invader Zim is about!

On my Fibonacci Scale of 1 to 21: This show is an obvious 21. It has all the dark, zany, absurdist humor that I loved as a child and loved even now. How I didn’t watch this show I will never know. But I do know it is something I WILL continue to watch.

Uh…what’s with the dramatic look of horror and the ominous? I mean, I know that you hated the guy, but are you two that terrified that he is still kicking??

ZIM’S BACK BITCHES! BET YOU NEVER THOUGHT!

“Invader Zim Reporting”

Yeah What Up Boy! You thought you’ve seen the last of the 3ft tall menace? THINK A-FUCKING-GAIN!

Do you two even….do anything?

“I feel good about how today went”

God that small smile is like an arrow that just pierces my heart. I know I shouldn’t support him taking over the world, but he has already taken over my heart. 

So much for preparing for this all your life. How does it feel to lose all your hopes and dreams?

YO! ANGSTY ANIME PRE-DWEEB! DO I NEED TO SHOVE YOU IN AN ICE-BOX FOR YOU TO CHILL FOR 5 SECONDS?!

Yep, time to follow the weird alien back to his house. Which is right next door to your house. Enjoy your new neighbor.

Yes, because flying via dog is not weird at all. Though if you go fast enough people will think they were just seeing things.

Look how cute that small smile is!!! That’s the type of smile you give as you are satisfied watching your enemy suffer the same way you did.

Does this kid take parkour lessons to go alien hunting???

Zim had a rough first day of skool.

“They might even name your autopsy video after ME!”

YOU KNOW!!!! FOR KIDS!!!!

The fact that the alien who wants to take over the world is in the hero being cornered position of a chase scene is what sells this show. Because the technical bad guy is our protagonist.

Why is Ice-Arnold acting like the Borg?

This is some dramatic chase scene we are getting that not even Arnold Schwarzenegger can break the tension.

All everyone else will see is Dib chasing the new kid with handcuffs that are obviously too big for his hands. You aren’t painting yourself in a good light here buddy.

“How do you know if it works if you never found an alien before?”

Armor Piercing Question

“Well we’ll find out right now”

meet Armor Piercing Response.

Yo Like, Zim could have gaslighted Dib and said that Dib was crazy, but he basically admits it because he thinks Dib can’t do shit about it. And he said it in a sinister way too!
