Invader Zim
Nickelodeon’sInvader Zimcan be considered a cult classic . primitively airing for just 26 episodes back in the early 2000s , Invader Zimremains an offbeat unveiling inNickelodeon ’s catalogue , as the web usually produces light - hearted and full-strength - laced cartoons . ButInvader Zim , with its creepy-crawly world and virtuously questionable case , offered a tonic modification of tempo .
Despite being seen as the post horse child for a cult animated serial , Invader Zimremains on the shelf in terms of new undertaking . However , Invader Zimhas stay democratic since its cancellation and could certainly join thelist of animated show urgently in pauperization of a revival . The science fiction world present in the series is both grim and highly futuristic , making for a one - of - a - kind series that is ripe for further geographic expedition .
Invader Zim Remains Popular, Even After Its Cancellation
It’s A Cult Classic For A Reason
Invader Zimmight be one of the most idolise shows in the Nickelodeon canyon , despite not expend much clip on the atmosphere . Invader Zimwas infamously canceledbefore finishing its initial 40 - episode run . Nickelodeon make up one’s mind to get out the sparking plug on the show after 20 episodes , even though six episode were still in development . The remaining six episode were made and free on DVD . Meanwhile , Nickelodeon citedZim’spoor rating and high production costsas the reason for call off the show .
Cut to nearly 25 years afterInvader Zimwent off the air in 2002 . Thanks to high - than - expected merchandise sales and reruns , the show was able-bodied to stay alert . Invader Zimeven earn an annual conventionality attended by fans and creatives behind the show alike , and asuccessful mirthful book serial . Even today , Invader Zimremains a staple on Hot Topic ’s shelves . Needless to say , Zimremains democratic and is arguably more democratic today than it was when it was on the melody in the former 2000s .
Invader Zim Returned In 2019 With A Movie — But Where Is The Sequel?
Where Is Any More Zim Content, For That Matter?
finally , Nickelodeon could n’t ignoreInvader Zim’spopularity . In 2019 , the darling cult series returned with a 71 - minute Netflix goggle box movie calledInvader Zim : insert The Florpus!The film presently holds a 100 % on Rotten Tomatoes . As aZimfan myself , I can say the TV motion-picture show drive home on expectations , as itfurther develop the characters and domain - buildinginitially present in the 2001 serial publication .
Even though the photographic film was well - received , there has been no news regarding a sequel or any otherZimcontent come down the pike , which is disappointing take thatInvader Zimstill has a loyal fanbase and latterly released a well - received motion-picture show . At its core , Invader Zimbrings an impressive skill fiction universe to life . The world present inZimis swarming with aliens , monsters , and alternate universes , all of which would be ripe for further exploration .
How Else Could Invader Zim Come Back After The Netflix Movie
The Possibilities Are Endless
Invader Zimcould certainly return with a sequel toEnter the Florpus . The Netflix moving-picture show left the door open in terms of story , especially regarding Zim and Dib ’s tale arcs . Dib finally wins the respect of his dad , scientist Professor Membrane . Plus , it looks like , by the death ofEnter the Florpus , Zim still wants to gain his Tallest ’s commendation and take over Earth , which has been his goal all along .
Zim ’s misadventures could continue with a new serial or film . A hot - actionInvader Zimfilm would be interesting to see . Invader Zim’screator , Jhonen Vasquez , said in an interview with theNickelodeon Animation Podcast , that he is concerned in tackling unrecorded - activeness projects , so bouncy - action mechanism could be an interesting route to take .
I would argue that even a live - actionInvader Zimmovie or potentially serial could actually work , if do properly .
As a Nickelodeon fan , I can say that ever since theuniversally dislikedAvatar : The Last Airbenderfilm , the fandom has approach live - action adaptations of our favorite Nicktoons with care . However , I would argue that even a live - actionInvader Zimmovie or potentially serial could actually work , if executed in good order .
Althoughthe series has avery decided brio style , it could still work in live - action because the characters are so active . Zim and Gir would be interesting to see in live - action , especially Gir in his little dog costume . The series also features multiple human characters , so maybe even a live - action - invigoration hybrid could work .
What An Invader Zim Revival Could Be About
The Nightmare Has Only Just Begun
In a likely revival series or moving picture , Zim ( and Gir , of course ) could stress and take over Earth , much to the discouragement of his Tallest . Sure , that ’s the story at the core of everything Zim - related so far , but some new crook and wrench in Zim ’s saga are impending . At the close ofEnter the Florpus , Zim and Dib are arguably on good terms . At least , they do n’t seem like enemy anymore .
While there are plenty of great animated telecasting series , only a few were true chef-d’oeuvre that leave an undeniable encroachment on the art form .
A new , potential friendship between Zim and his former arch - enemy Dib could breathe new life into the series . A Zim and Dib team - up seems like the perfect lieu to go with the series , as it will develop both characters and examine a relationship that took a different form in early Zim media .
mayhap Zim reluctantly demand Dib to aid him find Ms. Bitters because theiconic cartoon teacheris tragically missing from the tv set movie . But , Invader Zimcan still keep its grim tone even with Zim finding a newfangled friend in Dib because theZimuniverse encompass everything from favorable small robot dogs to demented aliens , so the darkness , or rather , the nightmare , has only just set out .
