It's literally a kids show. At Nickelodeon. And he's like, no, it's not cute, it's about violence and sarcasm. Man... that's not how it works. You made a cartoon for kids. Don't tell us you deliberately wanted to make kids appreciate the cynical stuff there.
What I always respected about Jhonen is that he doesn't beat around the bush. He's not afraid to say that his fans are weird and odd. I remember a story he told in another panel. A fan told him they were making Zim and Gir rule 34 and he said,"Why are you making cartoon porn as an adult. Were you not raised right." lmao
He has a dry sense of humor and its hard to tell when hes joking or not sometimes. Also his personality is very intense. Watch him at a signing sometime, he signs EVERYTHING that the fans ask him to, even limbs sometimes.
Oh sure, you watched like 3 videos about him and suddenly you know every bit of his personality. Calling it your excuse is gonna be you watched more than 3 videos.
@yukimistay damn didn't even notice it was that old but I just don't like it when people say stuff like that thinking they no a person they watched like 5 youtube videos of and a couple interviews like him all you want but don't pretend to know everything about him
I was able to show to my best friend the first three episodes of Invader Zim... She "awww'd" most of the time, but what made me laugh the most was when we where watching "Bestest Friend". I was all "Yeah, you keep doing that".
YES! THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS I'VE EVER READ OR SEEN! 🥰😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💞💞 I can't say how much I love it, that his first words were ,,I love you!" 😍😍💞💖💕😍😍🥰🥰
Funny theory, but that's not exactly correct. Lauren Faust created MLP FiM specifically for families, meaning little girls and their parents, meaning the show is watchable and enjoyable from an adult standpoint. So technically, the bronies have been watching it right all along.
CatMaster90001 they danced together. they almost kissed. Twilight gets blushed when she sees him. Flash misses Twilight a lot in RR. You dont want me to tell they dont "like" eachother dont you?
Mr. Robattaz Those are bullshit reasons to call it a canon pairing. Their so-called relationship has little to no development or depth. All they do is bump into each other and blush over their teenage hormones colliding with each other. There is not a single reason to like Flash as a character, because he *has no character.* He's a fucking blank slate that just happens to look hot. Stale bread is more interesting than that asshole.
Why...are there so many people getting angry in the comments section? Jhonen jokes about practically EVERYTHING. I'm almost positive that he was just JOKING AROUND with the fans at the con. I AM one of those people that 'awwws' at various things in Invader ZIM (though I also find it both funny as hell and CREEPY as hell...lmao), and I thought this was freaking hilarious! Why must people always take things so seriously nowadays? xD
I know this is a 2 year old comment and overall humor IS subjective but where did you get the idea that this was a joke, in terms of context I never seen where this was meant to be a joke and if it is then I’m sorry but even as a joke it doesn’t seem to be funny Seriously I never like theses arguments that it’s supposed to be a joke because there seems to never be any context or explanation that this IS in fact a joke
@@imp8684 you need empathy and reading bodylanguage/between the lines skills for that. He is half joking, since he says all the things in a not too serious way, but clearly wants to clarify the topic and express his confusion. The "there is something wrong with them" at the end is presented as punchline, after listing the awfull things in his own creation. Basically all he means is "well we didn't expect such a weird reaction to our fucked up cartoon, but we are all crazy anyway." Also on his twitter he "complained" about people laughing at the intro of the movie, which is obviously also a joke ;)
I never found Gir cute. Then I read the comments and such about it, and I could kind of see it. I definitely found Zim cute though- that was part of my enjoyment of the show because it was cute characters doing disgusting, disturbing things. It was like some sort of paradox- you get the same effect in anime where a cute girl is laughing maniacally covered in her enemy's blood. I guess that has the same effect as shock humor? Where it adds amusement/shock because it's seemingly paradoxical (cute being good and disturbing being bad, mixed together into a delicious soup recipe. Or humor being good and the disturbing factor being bad, mixed together to create something entirely new and attractive.)
gir shows effection towards stuff, even if its silly... his love for certain things and how he reacts to them.. i mean, he has one line phrases like a pet or animal that it pretends to be.. i never found zim 'cute', but i like his jabs ;)
@@Onimirare no, they were read by the official VAs and wonderfully acted! The cast even had puppets. Everyone’s laughing nervously because they know they’re about to get a chewing out from Jhonen. See, Invader Zim is not a romantic show by any means, it’s in fact quite the opposite. Richard and Andy, Zim and Dib’s VAs respectively, happened to give the fans a little fan service during the reunion scene by making their puppets kiss. With that being one of the most popular ships in the fandom, the audience understandably cheered very loud when it happened. Jhonen didn’t like that because it wasn’t in line with his vision of the show, and this whole clip is basically him chewing out the fandom for daring to do what fandom’s do. Granted, Jhonen’s a very tongue in cheek, dry sarcastic guy, but this clip feels a little too much like a parent who found their kid’s porn stash and decided to be “funny” about it than anything else.
@@Onimirare no problem. And while I don’t have a great opinion on Jhonen himself, I am grateful that he created what he did, because it had a huge impact on my life.
I guess so, he Jhonen did change about the awareness of his show. After like almost 20 years since it was cancelled. I think he does miss the fans doing that or even have a cult following in the first place and what saved his show. I don't think that creators/voice actors don't appreciate until it was gone and you miss those interactions with your fans. There is a huge difference between than fandoms because they are in their own place. The fan girls that really obsess over and tell it to others (as an example of a show that ruined the fandom "supernatural" and the MCU movies) the fan boys are just quite and just say that moment is just cool (that kinda in the comic fandoms because fan girls don't even really read the comics or even talk about it. So pretty much the comic fandom is a lot more quite but at the same time there is not really many people have cult following to them.) Like I never even heard about the invader zim comics even though they been around the series was cancelled.
I feel like a lot of things in the movie were part of the original vision of the show that they didn't have the resources or time to do during its run. I think also he said in some interviews he didn't originally want Professor Membrane's character to come off as a neglectful parent in the original show, but he ended up being that way because of the gags (in one of the episodes his children are referred to as his roommates), so he took the time to fix that in the movie by having them actually spend time together besides the once-a-year family dinner. They also redid that one yelling-across-the-busy-street joke that became nonsense because the animators forgot the cars. There is also parts of the movie that touch on elements of The Trial and Mopiness of Doom (both episode that never got made).
Well Kenny, a good way to explain it would be that Zim and Dib are a dynamic. They rely on each other to a certain degree, despite their intense hatred for each other. Zim sees Dib as a worthy opponent, someone who is smart enough to foil his plans, so without Dib, Zim is just kinda lost. Dib sees Zim as a chance to prove he's not a bloody mental case and, just like Zim, a worthy opponent. It's not by any means a perfect dynamic, but it works to advance the story and they give each other a challenge in an otherwise boring world. They are, to a point, equals, in terms of intelligence, and need each other to maintain a sort of balance. They are a "I hate you but I need you" sort of dynamic.
The way he imitated the fan girls’ “awww” reaction was surprisingly not the same as when he met my little dog. Though seeing him smiling at my dog and even holding her was a lot more cuter than I would have ever expected.☺️
But how could you not see Gir's cuteness like he's adorable but I never really say aww to Gir I just laugh because he's hilarious HE IS STILL CUTE THOUGH
Jhonen says: There's no cute things in the show Also Jhonen: *Literally puts cute things like GIR, etc, and hires Richard Horvitz as Zim that makes his voice sound so cute and attractive that gives me warm fuzzies*
I only went 'Aw' when Zim felt bad for making Gir cry. Even tho he was crying over something else. but like maybe they think a green dude trying to kill everyone is funny and cute.
I don't think people Awww because of ship material. For me it's just cause I feel bad for Zim. Or Dib. Like in Mopiness of doom. I went "Awww" at the fact that Sin was sitting on the couch crying over an empty bowl of chips. And in Enter the Florpus when Zim realizes the tallest are never coming. That broke my heart.
Oh c'mon, they guy wrote an entire episode (never aired) where it show that they practically CANNOT live without each other. Later on, he worte that episode whey they shake hands, dance together, pattycake, and finally hug.
Hanni Sue It was never aired, sadly D: But I think there is still an audio record. They do that to get rid of this weird ginger kid that was obsessed with Zim. Gosh, how I wish it was aired!!
I only say awww when: Gir is on screen, Dib and Gaz actually get along, Prof. Membrane is with his children. I'm a sucker for puppies and family relationships.
Yes, Jhonen. Yes, those who watch IZ for Gir and think he's cute are weird, are insane. Yes, we actually have disturbing tastes for the definition of cuteness. However. YOU made us like this. YOU showed us a type of art that made us the fandom we are today. YES, we are creepy and stupid. YES, Gir is annoying, but every character in IZ has the personality of making us love him. Gaz is a threatening bomb and videogame addicted maniac. But isn't it why we love her? DIB is weird, but also determined and somehow very lonely. I guess that's why he has so many fans. GIR is super creepy. So what? Isn't he the cutest insane defective robot we ever seen? And Zim. He's irregardless of emotions, very cruel, and has hatred for everything, searching action and destruction. But he's also caring about his little robot, a smart bastard and somehow hilarious. YES, Jhonen, we ARE insane, and stupid. BUT you made us love this amazing show and his characters. :) My opinion. Throw the hate comments!
I love all the characters, but only because they are so lacking in sentiment. If they started doing things that could be considered sweet, then they wouldn't be the same and I'd like them less. This is actually why I don't think I would've liked "Mopiness of Doom," had it come out the way it was written in the script. Zim and Dib just seem... out of character.
Ugh, he should have mentioned how Zagr is wrong too; Gaz is literally an 11 year old human girl, probably even 10, and Zim is an irken centuries years older than her. (He would be like 50 in human years, cmon.) But hey, ship what you want *gag* but I'm just sayinnn.
Mad respect for Jhonen, I have to give him props for being open and honest with his fanbase. Not many content creators have the guts to do that. I have to disagree though, I don't think there's a wrong way to enjoy something. You can't expect everyone to see something the same way you do. Sure, there's your intent as a content creator, but just because someone has a different interpretation doesn't mean that they love or respect the series any less. If it were me, I'd be like 'you do you. that's not the way I saw it, but whatever. have fun'. and that'd be the end of it. As for ships, well, I guess I have no room to talk there. What can I say, I'm a shipper at heart. But at the end of the day it's just harmless fun. I don't see what the big deal is. Ships are fictional, just like IZ. Let people have their fun so long as they're not hurting anyone in the process. Also, while I get that IZ is a bit (scratch that, a lot) darker than your average nicktoon, it's still a kid's show at the end of the day. I really think it would've been better suited for adult swim where there would've been less limitations, but that's besides the point. There are some moments that I can't help but 'aww' at. Call me weird I guess. If Jhonen had been allowed, IZ probably would've been... pretty nasty, actually. A lot nastier than it ended up being. Sure, it's dark, but it's funny and silly too. Idk, I just disagree with the idea that you can watch a fictional show incorrectly, but oh well. I still really appreciate Jhonen's work and I respect him as an artist and a content creator, but I just can't get behind that concept. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah like I ship Zadr, but that's because I have my opinion on it. I still see the show as fun and without aww moments xD and how I only aww at when he is sad on funny reasons like where he lost all the snacks in the script reading xD. But yeah its just harmless fun. But at least Jhonen cleared up something xP
I’m frequently channel the essence of Jhonen and pretend for years in isolation that I am him drawing books only i’m not pretending and I’ve been here for decades now. ❤❤
Ok, I’m gonna say the same thing I said in the comments in an OK K.O. vid: Please take some time to read this. I really need to get this out of my system. I really don’t see how ZaDr works. Sure, they could be friends in the future, but in a relationship? No; see, Dib is an adolescent paranormal investigator (big words lol), and he’s totally obsessed with exposing Zim as the alien invader he is. That’s him being that lil paranormal investigator he is and trying to kind of fulfill his dream. As for Zim, he is kind of a diabolical lil inept alien invader who hates the Earth and the human race and is determined to conquer it all for the Irken Empire and to please his Tallest. He hates Dib a *lot* , and it’s pretty well seen in Bad, Bad, Rubber Piggy; he literally almost killed Dib, and he walked off sipping a soda in hand right after a cruel laugh! He did not care ONE BIT that he just almost murdered Dib. What I will say about the gay part: I’m have absolutely *nothing* against the LGBT community and I respect anyone’s apparent sexuality, but I don’t think that LGBT ships are that common in franchises (except fan-morphed ones in OK K.O.), so I don’t think that this will happen in this show. Finally, Mr. Vasquez doesn’t really seem to be a pretty romantic guy in terms of Invader Zim (I watched Mopiness of Doom AND I read the entire JtHM series). He makes it dark, maniacal, and grotesque at times, and I consider it deliciously and maliciously dark and evil. I heard that he said that ZaGr *might* be a thing in the future, and I think I could see it, and it seems to be more logical than ZaDr. But, anyway, ship what you want, everyone. I just felt that this needed to be said. Have an awesome day!
GirlOfDrawing that's the thing, though - a good majority of the time, non-canon ships are _inherently_ OOC. For a lot of non-canon fictional pairings, there's a lot of personal interpretation and manipulation of the source content you have to do to ship them. It doesn't really make sense to claim ZADR is worse than any other ship simply because it wouldn't work with their characters, because practically every ship for IZ is OOC. ZAGR, even, and that's considered the "normal" pairing. Zim and Gaz actively dislike each other. But certain fans like their characters and they like how their characters interact with each other, so they retool it into friendship or romance. It's all fictional. If its not like, abhorrent or harming anyone, who cares?
I totally understand your point. Nice to see someone else with a thoughtful mind. It’s totally true what you say, but I just find seeing ZaDr everywhere a little annoying, that’s all. And yeah, anyone can ship what they want; I’m not going to stop anyone. Thanks for giving your thought for my comment, by the way.
GirlOfDrawing Yea. I mean with that addition, Dib is canonically somewhere in between being 11 or 12 and Gaz is a year younger so 10 or 11 and I believe Jhonen said that Zim is thousands of years old so I honestly find that weird. I kinda like it being a show with no romantic relationships but I don’t care for the ships but I’d just let em be, even though we have a million or so year old alien and 2 minors consisting of an angry short antisocial girl and a slightly obsessive paranormal investigator that is out to expose the truth.
There are some cute moments with Gir's stupidity and innocence, but most of the show is about laughing at people's horrible and ridiculous deaths and pain, like when Zim tried to kill Dib by replacing stuff in his past with rubber piggies to cause life-threatening accidents
***** Well, when we know Zim... You just can't hate him, and you feel sympathy sometimes. I mean-- I'm not really protecting him, but if you see the beginning of A Room With A Moose, those kids (especially Dib) did many hurtful things to him. At first, I thought he was cruel and he scared me. Now... I don't know, a part of me understands his actions, because he only wants one thing-- prove he's worth something. And yes, he is extremely enjoyable:)
To everyone that goes "awww" at Gir, you're all horrible cruel people. Gir is defective, so he screams and acts crazy, but that's not the only reason why. Gir also is in constant agonizing pain becuse he's defective. What do you do when you're in horrible pain? You scream, you cry, and you beg for death and celebrate your doom. That is exactly what Gir does. Notice when he's ordered to self destruct, he screams "FINALLY!!" ...So while Gir is writhing in agony, you're all laughing at him and going "AWWW HES SO CUTE!! HAHAHA GIR IS SO FUNNY AND CUTE!!" Jhonen totally played you lol.
It's a cartoon, are we not allowed to say "awe" at pain? If you think it's messed up, then you are getting the wrong point. Doesn't matter how defective someone or something is, if it does something cute, it's still going to be cute. Almost like "aweing" and puppies with frowny faces. They are sad but it is cute.
All of Jhonen's fans love him regardless of whether or not he loves all of them, It should be the other way around. He should love all of us because we're his fans and without ALL of his fans he'd have no support. No person should have to change there way of thinking just to earn their right as a fan. Love us Jhonen, like we love you regardless.
Jhonen: Don’t daw at my work!
Also Jhonen: *Makes and voice acts Minimoose*
this guy invented Gir and makes Gir love Zim to a fault.
It's literally a kids show. At Nickelodeon. And he's like, no, it's not cute, it's about violence and sarcasm.
Man... that's not how it works. You made a cartoon for kids. Don't tell us you deliberately wanted to make kids appreciate the cynical stuff there.

Invader zim shipping is overrated ill admit I do have a soft spot for some ships but invader zim is the best without any pairings at all
I agree with you both 100%.
I don't care who you ship, as long as it doesn't become canon.
The only acceptable ship is Clembrane x Membrane.
Emerald Apple and that is a fact
Kirston Markowski yeah the shipping in my opinion is getting cringey and overrated
idk, that "i'm always proud of you" moment with dib and professor membrane in enter the florpus was pretty aww-inducing
This was nine years ago so maybe his opinion changed
You know you're doing things right when you can openly mock us, and we love you for it.
But how could you not see Gir's cuteness like he's adorable but I never really say aww to Gir I just laugh because he's hilarious HE IS STILL CUTE THOUGH
The only time I awwed was when gir cried over his cupcake :(
Everybody it's like [ LAUGHS NERVOUSLY ]
Jhonen says: There's no cute things in the show
Also Jhonen: *Literally puts cute things like GIR, etc, and hires Richard Horvitz as Zim that makes his voice sound so cute and attractive that gives me warm fuzzies*
something is wrong with you
"Attractive"?
@@saartnomsky4523 I’m sorry, I have a thing for nonhuman characters, and some characters have attractive voices that other people might not think so.
ATTRACTIVE???
ATTRACTIVE???
Jhonen Vasquez: "Anything that would inspire, 'Awwwww,' it's not in the show."
Gir: (Exists)
I only went 'Aw' when Zim felt bad for making Gir cry. Even tho he was crying over something else.
but like maybe they think a green dude trying to kill everyone is funny and cute.
The only time you ever awe is when your upset that zim hasn't killed dib yet.
Shadow Blackheart true.
So real
I, for one, found the organ harvesting episode adorable
What if you go "AWWW~" At the violence?
Gir is the cutest robot I've ever seen though lol
The only cute moment I can think of is when Zim hugs the sandwich in episode 1.
Reason 165 of why Jhonen Vasquez is one of my favorite artists of all time. He's just bloody awesome
I don't ship any characters but I do think they are all adorable in their own sick twisted ways
I mostly agree, but GIR has his cute moments... Or is just in general.... haha
Translation: ‘you’re scarier then me, and I’m a psycho.’
I don't think people Awww because of ship material. For me it's just cause I feel bad for Zim. Or Dib. Like in Mopiness of doom. I went "Awww" at the fact that Sin was sitting on the couch crying over an empty bowl of chips.
And in Enter the Florpus when Zim realizes the tallest are never coming. That broke my heart.
Oh c'mon, they guy wrote an entire episode (never aired) where it show that they practically CANNOT live without each other.
Later on, he worte that episode whey they shake hands, dance together, pattycake, and finally hug.
+♠Caylis♠
What was the name of the episode where they hugged?
Hanni Sue It was never aired, sadly D: But I think there is still an audio record. They do that to get rid of this weird ginger kid that was obsessed with Zim. Gosh, how I wish it was aired!!
Do you know how to listen to the audio? ;0; Or where too?
Do you know how to listen to the audio? ;0; Or where too? ♠Caylis♠
+♠Caylis♠ Damn i wish I could see that episode.
If he says we're watching it wrong than why tf did he make dib that cute
I was into the show because of the dark humor and well drawn out characters. Lol
I'm betting he at some point read the fan fiction. *shudder* XD
That poor man!
+BloodySteel64 No kidding! 😂
Sir, the main character is the most "awww" inducing creature I've ever seen
Fr
*people shipping a 12 year old boi with an over 100 year old Alien*
Jhonen: *CONFUSED SCREAMING*
Yeah lol
Zim is canonically a teenager in irken years.
@@DUWANGlai_kangyi doesnt change the fact its weird
@@DUWANGlai_kangyi They're still 88 years apart and Dib still an underage xD
@@DUWANGlai_kangyi doesnt change the fact is proshipping/p3d0ph1l14
Zim is freaking hilarious
( minimoose,gir, skoodge, and baby zim : *am I a joke to you?*
His voice sounds like Robin from Teen Titans
I only say awww when: Gir is on screen, Dib and Gaz actually get along, Prof. Membrane is with his children. I'm a sucker for puppies and family relationships.
You know you should really concern your sanity when Jhonen Vasquez call you wacko
At least he didn't say ZaDr wasn't canon.
And, it's his fault; he makes sarcasm, cruelty, and violence look cuter than it should be. :>
If he didn't want ZADR to be shipped he shouldn't have written Mopiness of Doom or the Fry-cook episode XD
Taurnil You're saying Zim is a pedo?!?
+Qʋɛɛи Sɛℓɛиɛ :V
+Taurnil
Didn't Jhonen confirm he ships Zim and Gaz?
Uh... No. He never said that...
Jhonen Is so cute saying "awww"
Jhonen's "Awww" makes me AWWWWWW...FORGIVE ME, I HAD TO GET IT OFF MY CHEST ´KAY? xD
I love this guy XD Jhonen Vasquez kicks ass
Yes, Jhonen. Yes, those who watch IZ for Gir and think he's cute are weird, are insane. Yes, we actually have disturbing tastes for the definition of cuteness.
However.
YOU made us like this. YOU showed us a type of art that made us the fandom we are today. YES, we are creepy and stupid. YES, Gir is annoying, but every character in IZ has the personality of making us love him. Gaz is a threatening bomb and videogame addicted maniac. But isn't it why we love her? DIB is weird, but also determined and somehow very lonely. I guess that's why he has so many fans. GIR is super creepy. So what? Isn't he the cutest insane defective robot we ever seen? And Zim. He's irregardless of emotions, very cruel, and has hatred for everything, searching action and destruction. But he's also caring about his little robot, a smart bastard and somehow hilarious.
YES, Jhonen, we ARE insane, and stupid. BUT you made us love this amazing show and his characters.
:)
My opinion. Throw the hate comments!
love you
👍
+Unknown_and All_knowing love you too hun
This is true I argee you have a point
Carlos Munoz heehee Before judging us, remember that he's the one who made us like that :)
I love all the characters, but only because they are so lacking in sentiment. If they started doing things that could be considered sweet, then they wouldn't be the same and I'd like them less.
This is actually why I don't think I would've liked "Mopiness of Doom," had it come out the way it was written in the script. Zim and Dib just seem... out of character.
I watch the show because of the comedy, the sarcasm, violence, and Ms.Bitter opinions on the real world
Ugh, he should have mentioned how Zagr is wrong too; Gaz is literally an 11 year old human girl, probably even 10, and Zim is an irken centuries years older than her. (He would be like 50 in human years, cmon.)
But hey, ship what you want *gag* but I'm just sayinnn.
I heard somewhere that Zim was older than any human alive
+Ocaym *I love your profile pic so much*
#OKKO
Same with zadr
It's one of Zim's disguises. Ya ain't foolin' me
But I awe at dib being an adorable goof and zim being an idiot in the show all the time...
But.....how do you not "AWH" when you see Gir dressed as a dog!?
The only thing that makes me say "awww!" while watching invader zim is GIR
Mad respect for Jhonen, I have to give him props for being open and honest with his fanbase. Not many content creators have the guts to do that.
I have to disagree though, I don't think there's a wrong way to enjoy something. You can't expect everyone to see something the same way you do. Sure, there's your intent as a content creator, but just because someone has a different interpretation doesn't mean that they love or respect the series any less. If it were me, I'd be like 'you do you. that's not the way I saw it, but whatever. have fun'. and that'd be the end of it.
As for ships, well, I guess I have no room to talk there. What can I say, I'm a shipper at heart. But at the end of the day it's just harmless fun. I don't see what the big deal is. Ships are fictional, just like IZ. Let people have their fun so long as they're not hurting anyone in the process.
Also, while I get that IZ is a bit (scratch that, a lot) darker than your average nicktoon, it's still a kid's show at the end of the day. I really think it would've been better suited for adult swim where there would've been less limitations, but that's besides the point. There are some moments that I can't help but 'aww' at. Call me weird I guess. If Jhonen had been allowed, IZ probably would've been... pretty nasty, actually. A lot nastier than it ended up being. Sure, it's dark, but it's funny and silly too.
Idk, I just disagree with the idea that you can watch a fictional show incorrectly, but oh well. I still really appreciate Jhonen's work and I respect him as an artist and a content creator, but I just can't get behind that concept. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, thank you, someone who finally gets it.
Yeah like I ship Zadr, but that's because I have my opinion on it. I still see the show as fun and without aww moments xD and how I only aww at when he is sad on funny reasons like where he lost all the snacks in the script reading xD. But yeah its just harmless fun. But at least Jhonen cleared up something xP
MHA characters being forced to be gay: **coughs**
Ye... harmless fun...
@@SSSTUDIOS365 yeah like come on. We are all just having fun
@@SSSTUDIOS365 Why do you say that likes it's a bad thing...??
That eerie feeling that there be a shitload of arguments just below...
I’m frequently channel the essence of Jhonen and pretend for years in isolation that I am him drawing books only i’m not pretending and I’ve been here for decades now. ❤❤
Never aw Jhonens work . Jhonens work is beautifully twisted and not to be awed .
Once in a while I aw but mostly think what am I watching? XD
dayumdrina ZIM SHALL NOT BE AWED!!!
I read the complete JtHM series (excluding Squee!), and let me just say that it is *incredible* . I recommend to all that don't mind bloody gore.
The only one I'm blaming is Zim's voice actor
Why did he have to make baby Zim's voice so small and cute
I couldn't help but aww people don't at me
@@invadertir7352
"I love you cold, unfeeling robot arm."
Ok, I’m gonna say the same thing I said in the comments in an OK K.O. vid:
Please take some time to read this.
I really need to get this out of my system.
I really don’t see how ZaDr works. Sure, they could be friends in the future, but in a relationship? No; see, Dib is an adolescent paranormal investigator (big words lol), and he’s totally obsessed with exposing Zim as the alien invader he is. That’s him being that lil paranormal investigator he is and trying to kind of fulfill his dream. As for Zim, he is kind of a diabolical lil inept alien invader who hates the Earth and the human race and is determined to conquer it all for the Irken Empire and to please his Tallest. He hates Dib a *lot* , and it’s pretty well seen in Bad, Bad, Rubber Piggy; he literally almost killed Dib, and he walked off sipping a soda in hand right after a cruel laugh! He did not care ONE BIT that he just almost murdered Dib.
What I will say about the gay part: I’m have absolutely *nothing* against the LGBT community and I respect anyone’s apparent sexuality, but I don’t think that LGBT ships are that common in franchises (except fan-morphed ones in OK K.O.), so I don’t think that this will happen in this show.
Finally, Mr. Vasquez doesn’t really seem to be a pretty romantic guy in terms of Invader Zim (I watched Mopiness of Doom AND I read the entire JtHM series). He makes it dark, maniacal, and grotesque at times, and I consider it deliciously and maliciously dark and evil. I heard that he said that ZaGr *might* be a thing in the future, and I think I could see it, and it seems to be more logical than ZaDr. But, anyway, ship what you want, everyone. I just felt that this needed to be said. Have an awesome day!
GirlOfDrawing that's the thing, though - a good majority of the time, non-canon ships are _inherently_ OOC. For a lot of non-canon fictional pairings, there's a lot of personal interpretation and manipulation of the source content you have to do to ship them. It doesn't really make sense to claim ZADR is worse than any other ship simply because it wouldn't work with their characters, because practically every ship for IZ is OOC. ZAGR, even, and that's considered the "normal" pairing. Zim and Gaz actively dislike each other. But certain fans like their characters and they like how their characters interact with each other, so they retool it into friendship or romance. It's all fictional. If its not like, abhorrent or harming anyone, who cares?
I totally understand your point. Nice to see someone else with a thoughtful mind. It’s totally true what you say, but I just find seeing ZaDr everywhere a little annoying, that’s all. And yeah, anyone can ship what they want; I’m not going to stop anyone. Thanks for giving your thought for my comment, by the way.
GirlOfDrawing
Yea. I mean with that addition, Dib is canonically somewhere in between being 11 or 12 and Gaz is a year younger so 10 or 11 and I believe Jhonen said that Zim is thousands of years old so I honestly find that weird. I kinda like it being a show with no romantic relationships but I don’t care for the ships but I’d just let em be, even though we have a million or so year old alien and 2 minors consisting of an angry short antisocial girl and a slightly obsessive paranormal investigator that is out to expose the truth.
trap ninjas Lol agreed
Did you seriously write all that out analyzing a...... ship. A SHIP ..for a fictional setting .... no buddy, no ... just... uh....................no
i was at the first con and i can confirm that this is true
I said "Awww" when gir cried... And when he ate the tuna out of his foot...
Well now I know for a fact all my idols think some thing is wrong with me. :P
C'mon Zim is kinda cute, GIR is definitely cute, we have all the reasons to go AAAAWWW
There are some cute moments with Gir's stupidity and innocence, but most of the show is about laughing at people's horrible and ridiculous deaths and pain, like when Zim tried to kill Dib by replacing stuff in his past with rubber piggies to cause life-threatening accidents
thats why i hate hipster talking about how cute GIR is. Dib and Tallest Purple are my favorites
Lol okay I love Gir.
***** He's awesome too
***** He's the greatest... Zims still my favorite tho. He was one of the best characters
***** Right! A smartass, a genius and a complete idiot... Yet still so lovable.
***** Well, when we know Zim... You just can't hate him, and you feel sympathy sometimes. I mean-- I'm not really protecting him, but if you see the beginning of A Room With A Moose, those kids (especially Dib) did many hurtful things to him. At first, I thought he was cruel and he scared me. Now... I don't know, a part of me understands his actions, because he only wants one thing-- prove he's worth something. And yes, he is extremely enjoyable:)
Guess there's something wrong with me because I almost died of fangirling from that episode. Oops.
This is some advanced sass and I love it!
Oh I'm sorry about having creative freedom, Jhonen. It's called FANFICTION after all....FAN....FICTION.
He's so crazy that he is the only person watching the show wrong /:
What about those who "aww" at all the sarcasm, violence and cruelty?
I go "AW YEAAAHH THIS IS AWESOME" when I watch Invader Zim.
"it's possible to watch a show wrong" LMAOOOOO
I have several dreams I hope to someday fulfill, thanks to stuff like this, getting Jhonen to autograph one of my Zim dvds is near the top
GOD BLESS JHONENE VASQUEZ!!! XD
***** Juano Vázques, yes.
I don't go aww and ship.
I go crazy and laugh and shriek and turn into a version of Johnny, minus the killing. I go mad. 😈
I usually just laugh like Zim, but come'on, GIR is adorable.
The only time I went "Awww" when watching IZ was when I saw Zim as a smeet.
Oi I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK, JHONEN
why make Zim hug the sandwich then?
THANK YOU JHONEN! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
To everyone that goes "awww" at Gir, you're all horrible cruel people. Gir is defective, so he screams and acts crazy, but that's not the only reason why. Gir also is in constant agonizing pain becuse he's defective. What do you do when you're in horrible pain? You scream, you cry, and you beg for death and celebrate your doom. That is exactly what Gir does. Notice when he's ordered to self destruct, he screams "FINALLY!!" ...So while Gir is writhing in agony, you're all laughing at him and going "AWWW HES SO CUTE!! HAHAHA GIR IS SO FUNNY AND CUTE!!"
Jhonen totally played you lol.
It's a cartoon, are we not allowed to say "awe" at pain? If you think it's messed up, then you are getting the wrong point. Doesn't matter how defective someone or something is, if it does something cute, it's still going to be cute. Almost like "aweing" and puppies with frowny faces. They are sad but it is cute.
kayceeBurtonFreak Lol you're watching the show wrong
PineappleRaxx No, not really. I just have a dark and twisted humor, I work at a haunted house.... And besides, it's fun to laugh at pain.
+kayceeBurtonFreak YES Gir is cute and let us be insane:)
Gir was openly suicidal the entire show and no one gave a fuck about it. He's still looking for a way to die in the comics.
either he was talking about fangirls or zadr shippers
or both...
i think he just plays around. if u watch more panels he seems like just a nice guy with the weirdest sense of humor ever
but pls, gir is so cute, i have to say AWWWW for him
when I wach Invader Zim or read Jhonnie the Homicidal Maniac I laugh as a manic at the dark hummor. Oh well that must be the maniac or insane me
Jhonen just turned into 5 minute crafts
All of Jhonen's fans love him regardless of whether or not he loves all of them, It should be the other way around. He should love all of us because we're his fans and without ALL of his fans he'd have no support. No person should have to change there way of thinking just to earn their right as a fan. Love us Jhonen, like we love you regardless.
My hero.
nobody would react like that if you didn't have a cute and childish style
Matías Negro
Which is why he said "If someone responds that way you know there is something wrong with them." lol
no, i'm saying responding that way is completely normal due to his cute style
You clearly haven't read jthm 💀
