>Join host, and Dib Membrane’s other sister, Jessica Chobot, as she runs down everything we know about the brand new Invader Zim TV movie. That’s right, we’re getting a 90-minute film from series creator Jhonen Vasquez, with original series cast members Richard Horvitz reprising his role as Zim alongside Rikke Simmons as GIR, Andy Berman as Dib, and Melissa Fahn as Gaz. We don’t know much about the plot, but it has been revealed that Zim has come up with “a new and potentially Earth-destroying plan” that may finally give Zim his due from his alien overlords.
it seems alright

sadly no.
it appears to be made by nickelodeon
thing is,

also the creator of harvey beaks said he saw jhonen working on an invader zim project,but then deleted his post with no explanation after jhonen turned it down.
also,that tweet is an imitation of a donald trump tweet,someone he considers a liar.

Oh damn a movie? Could serve as another pilot to get a series. It gets a lot of hate but I feel like Invader Zim would be perfect for AS

>Jimmy the Homicidal Maniac

Samurai Jack is not a reboot

hopefully he's just trying to keep it under wraps.
I don't think that would ever be a possibility. I think that would work a lot better on AS and it's not owned by Nickelodeon.

Oh shit great point. I completely forgot about that. I'd be so happy for the guy if he was allowed to make his original creation on adult swim.

i would be happy if he is allowed to do SOMETHING
he wasted a fucking year of work over a pilot he cant even upload to youtube

Jhonen is probably under a non-disclosure agreement contract so he's not allowed to acknowledge its existence. But I'm sure he'll get the go-ahead to talk about it soon consider the cat's thoroughly out of the bag

I'm worried about The Penguin of Doom returning

Just like with the comic book series, this is far too late to have a real impact. I think we hit the point of diminishing returns, in terms of amount-of-time-that's-passed, around the turn of the decade.

Also, will this share a continuity with the comic books, or will it ignore them entirely?

A renaissance of Gaz porn.

hopefully not all by bigdad

Not as late as that Rocko movie, which doesn't make much sense to me considering how damn 90s the original show is. I just can't even imagine how it will work

it'll be a meme revival taylor made for reddit just like samurai jack was

Oh god. I don't want that wave of hot topic bullshit again.

I do. Let's MGGGA (Make Goth Girls Great Again)

Thank god Suicide Squad bombed. If it didn't we'd already be knee deep in that shit all over again.

>it's ACTUALLY coming back
First Trump, then Samurai Jack, then Young Justice, now an honest to god return of Invader Zim.

Miracles just keep comin'

dont forget hey arnold finally having an ending

>Also, will this share a continuity with the comic books, or will it ignore them entirely?

Seeing as how the comic is entirely episodic and doesn't even share continuity between issues, I don't think it'll matter.

at least he didnt make cans without labels

I don't get all the hype there's always been for Zim to come back. It was a good cartoon and funny, but people suck it off like it was some understated masterpiece. Plus after it died it attracted the whole "DUDE narwhal bacon LMAO" crowd that makes me want to kill myself almost as much as the FotM tumblr butthurt police.

Oh yeah
I wonder how wrong 30 year old Helga and Gerald will sound
I'm still happy for that for the opportunity for closure and the shippy stuff that will undoubtedly be included
And it seems a little more adaptable to modern times than Rocko, as the show already survived the transition from traditional ink-and-paint to digital coloring during its original run. They have crew from Clarence working on it and direction by Craig which was the right way to go imo. And the original composer, which I'm excited about! Unfortunate that Samurai Jack didn't get James L. Venable back, not that the new music is bad or anything

The show is just like Samurai Jack in which both are hindered by having to be child friendly

I wonder how they'll cater to the new aged audience

>but no Moral Orel
whyyyyyyyy

They already got a special user, and it was years ago

I know, and it just made me want more, more, mooorree. Please, give me a comic book or a stage show or a radio drama or an 8-bit indie game or SOMETHING.

the comics don't seem to have continuity even within themselves

>in an official press release
>not on nickpress.com/press-releases
fake news

As long as they tone down GIR like crazy. He was funny back in the day but Zim fans ruined him.

Gir was never funny.
And they will not tone him down because he's the only reason anyone remembers this show and you know it

Will they fug?

>ZADR
this used to disturb me back in the day.
now I kinda like it.

He's very clearly joking here

with the return of all these dead cartoons recently, do you think there is any hope that Panty and Stocking season 2 will be announced soon?

user...

Because Dino just finished working on a comic and Mike Lazzo only approves of new specials if they're more humor focused

His Gazs are top-notch but everything else is plagued with big eyebrows. I like his original works' style though.

Also he needs to get PayPal if he wants people to commission him.

>yfw we get the Invader Dib movie

Huh, thought there would be more angry autists in this thread.

With a higher budget and less restraints, it could be pretty damn good. IZ is a mishmash of some really annoying jokes and really good sci-fi segments and animation. If they focus more on the action elements and don't rely on GIR to bring in the kids, I'd watch. Zim was a funny character.

Wow, this tweet seems completely serious. Pack it up, everyone.

>twitter.com/JhonenV/status/849309006015455232
Vasquez has always been a troll. How can you even take a look at that twitter page and think anything written on it is to be taken serious?

I like his work but, he kind drained the character out of her. She's just a spooky girl with an ass, and not "Gaz".

It still boggles my mind someone looked at his comics and figured "this guy should make a kid's show!"

There's some nice laughs in the other thread

it obviously was to redirect his creativity and autism to ultimately stop him from shooting up a mall

It's not a masterpiece by any means but It's still one of the best Nicktoons ever put out and deserved a few more seasons then it got. Guess the high sales of the comics made Nick realized there is still an audience for the show.

Yeah, this. I like the guy, but his Gaz is overdone and feels more like an OC imitating the character then actually Gaz.

>trump who sold out our privacy and couldnt get rid of obamacare is a miracle
what did he mean by this

youtube.com/watch?v=wMnV_eL-D7w

teaser

>And they will not tone him down because he's the only reason anyone remembers this show and you know it
this sadly

...

I'm on the exact same boat

>trump who sold out our privacy

You do realize that they always were giving out the information but just weren't telling you right?

The same way CN hired someone who drew EE&E porn or Disney hiring a furry writer

>we live in a world where Invader Zim gets a genuine continuation 15 years later

GOD DAAAAMNNNN

Same way the same network hired the author of this to make Loud House. Some execs hire people based on what they like, not based on what is appropriate for the audience. Just as long as the creator can be reigned in enough it can work out.

yes it is

It's literally being set in modern times. It's a follow up to the space episode.

Nice. This is some good news.

Invader Dib sounded great and made me dream of it's final product, even after I grew out of the show.

I can't imagine Nick giving them the budget of what they had back then. I want CGI Irken Armada Ships dammit.

Maybe they still have the old ones in the database. Might as well remake it better if possible though

WAIT IS THIS SERIOSULY REAL, WHAT THE FUCK

He's right, though.
>In serial fiction, to reboot means to discard all continuity in an established series in order to recreate its characters, timeline and backstory from the beginning.
Samurai Jack is a revival, not a reboot.

you see, Trump only can do good, everything bad is someone else's half-hearted attempts at doing good.

Moral Orel ended pretty satisfyingly. Let's just leave it where it is.

>Invader Zim gets a continuation
>Samurai Jack gets another Season, so does R&M
>Freeman's mind 2 is a real thing
>Trump is President
I refuse to believe this is real

>so does R&M
But that was always getting a new season. It was never cancelled or put on indefinite hiatus. They even told you at the end of season 2 that it would be "a year and a half, or more!"

Why do people keep bringing up Rick & Morty like it's at all similar to those others?

Reboot implies the story and world are reset.

Samurai Jack Season 5 continues the same story as the original.

he really did make America great

Holy shit Nickelodeon actually caved in.

Wasn't this spoiled by CH Greenblatt long ago?

Freeman's Mind 2?

Maybe they will finally sell some merchandise of the show that isn't just gir

They probably saw how successful Samurai Jack was and now wants a piece of the pie too.

Nickelodeon aren't exactly marketing wizards but I think they should hype this up to the best of their ability. Air a marathon of every episode leading up to the movie or something.

That'd be nice.

It hasn't really sunk in yet. I remember being in the "Operation Head Pigeons" group in like 2011 hoping that it might one day happen, it's honestly hard to comprehend that we'll get closure at this point.

Fuckin hyped my dudes.

I wonder if we'll get the unfinished half of season 2 made as well. The fact we're getting a movie is good enough but the rest of the episodes made would make the show feel finally complete.

I hope Jhonen is involved.

He seemed super salty about Nickelodeon censoring episodes and fighting for creative control. I think he said he would never work with them again.

I'm really curious to know what the hell changed his mind.

Is it really real? I don't want to get too excited if it isn't

If it is holy shit this is the greatest timeline

He said he would like to work on Zim again but Nick never proposed him a good budget. I guess they finally caved and gave him the money he needed.

he was young then and it was his first time working in an actual company, he was just doing his edgy comic beforehand by himself. I've hear he has matured now and is more willing to work in a corporate work space.

Didn't the show get canned because they found out he was the author of johnny the homicidal maniac?

I hope they give it the Samurai Jack treatment and allow Vasquez more freedom.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Nah, it got canned because of extremely low ratings combined with the fact that it was the most expensive cartoon nick were producing. The person at Nick who offered him the chance to pitch something did it because they enjoyed Johnny so much.

>couldnt get rid of obamacare
PROTIP: that was on purpose.

>Trump deliberately humiliated himself and squandered his minute political capital by trying to push a fucking awful healthcare bill and threatening any Republicans who didn't support it

Sure thing, user.

Intruder Jim

god damn this is some great news to hear about

i watched the entirety of season 2 for the first time last month and was wondering how far i'd go for more

Probably a skip for me unless my viewing schedule is really clear around that time.

IZ is kind of a weird show. It actually had its moments (I think any jokes about Zim's culture and the importance of height are classics) but a lot of the time it kind of relied on gross out humor. It's not really my thing.

I recall the time travel episode making me feel pretty uncomfortable near the end with the increasing level of disabilities.

Are there any bonafide old oldfags here who can tell us if there was ever an age of such rampant catering to nostalgia as this? Everywhere you look something's getting rebooted, revived, and/or revamped.

Shots fired

No, it was because they liked Squee! That's how he was offered to make a show.

No, Mister Vasquez. We talked about this the last session. No shots fired.

This .gif makes me so angry that it's nicely animated but it's being wasted on ZADR.

whatever happened to those people? was informed on their projects until it went silent

did they grow out of it?

>did they grow out of it?
Probably.
