RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

I don't think that i ever saw that movie or heard of it?
Whats it about?

RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

I'm not the expert but I can tell you this much. It is about an alien that is sent to earth. Once on earth everyone thinks he is a human even though his skin is green. But there is one boy who is trying to tell everyone that he really is an alien. And there is this really cute robot in it to. It's so funny to watch.^^*

RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

It's a) Invader Zim (singular invader) and b) not a movie but a cartoon series done by Jhonen Vasquez, he of Jonny the Homicidal Maniac fame. It was shown for a short time on Nickelodeon, but was cancelled after about 26? episodes. They are all on the DVDs that kmlt spoke of, sold at Hot Topic and other such stores.

Zim is an Irken. The entire population of Irkens are invaders of other planets and lifeforms. However, Zim absolutely sucks at it, and in fact destroyed the Irken home planet the first time he was sent to invade something. Because of this, he was sent to Earth (shown on the map of the universe as a tiny dot with a post-it note labeled "Planet?"). He thinks he's there to invade it, and call the Irken Armada when he successfully does so--in actuality, his leaders think he's a complete moron and sent him there to get rid of him.

Each Irken invader is given a robot called a SIR unit (Super Intelligent Robot? I forget) that will help them in their invasion; Zim's is made out of garbage and small useless things and introduces itself as GIR. "What's the G stand for?" "I don't know..." Gir is slightly insane and amazingly adorable, and does a lot of absolutely random things.

Zim's "disguise" is a wig and contacts over his eyes--no one seems to notice that he is, in fact, green, except for Dib. Dib is a human boy who is obsessed with the paranormal, supernatural, and alien. He immediately figures out that Zim is an alien, and his mission in life has become to prove to the world that Zim is an alien.

That's the basics...if you search for "Invader Zim" on Google or something, you'll find more. It's an absolutely awesome show, and I highly recommend it.

RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

The best episode was the one with the giant pimple. It was also the grossest.

RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

The germ one was quite amusing as well.

Re: RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

Ohh man what was its name, Pastoolio(sp)? They still show this show on a channel I get called Nicktoons or something like that. It has all the old nickelodeon shows like Rockos Modern Life, Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, Doug, etc. I wish they hadn't cancelled it from Nickelodeon though, twas such a great show.

God darn they are all good. I seriously need to download some. Once I finish up Naruto I'll go into Invader Zim >_>

RE: Re: RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

what is up with the Pikachus? That's from the first movie.^^*

RE: Re: RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

What's up with going off topic from your own thread?

Btw, I say we make an e-petition to put Invader Zim back on Nick(ololololol)

RE: Re: RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

Just asking ya sounds like a good idea. How do we start one?^^*

RE: Re: RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

It would be such a greater show if the creator didn't hate it so much.
That more or less got cancelled, he just didn't really want to keep making it.
But it was still a pretty awesome show.

RE: Re: RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

I think there was already such a petition, and it failed because a) Jhonen didn't want to do it, and b) it's in syndication on Nicktoons. Instead, they put out the DVD sets, which is better because they include stuff that wasn't able to be shown on Nickelodeon.

RE: Re: RE: Just saw INVADERS ZIM

No way, Omega, the best episode was the one where he's trying to get everyone's organs in Season 1.

What a good show. I watched the first season in the same night that I watched Di Gi Charat.
