INVADER ZIM fan animatic - Nothing Left to Lose (comic spoilers)

Merging dibs and Zim’s personalities is a dangerous game

when you didn't read the comics: this I beautiful, but I don't understand anything.

This zim guy sounds cool he should have his own show

Underrated moment, but I really love how Zim makes his entrance as the music builds to a crescendo. Solidifying him as the "Ultimate Zim" and the absolute wild card hurricane neither Dib accounted for.

Me before reading the Zimvoid arc: This is cool but wtf is going on? Me after reading it: (sobbing)

The ZimVoid arc would make a seriously good movie. They made Into the Florpus, now they need to make this.

*you dreamed about stoping zim, Right? *well, i did *and guess what? *no one cares

ok, your sound usage is incredibly, like the sharpening of Cassandra's sword being turned into a spark of the machine, to Zib pulling the controlls back coming from the black rocks shinging up to trap Varian, that is all very clever usage of environmental sounds

At 0:56 you can see that Dib's ears are bandaged, which show that they most likely fell off due to the PAK, and it probably wasn't painless.

2:06 THE SOUND THAT ESCAPED MY MOUTH this is a MASTERPIECE

I've been watching this over and over for the past week I just love the designs and motion

Zib as a character is tragic as hell now that I think about it... Dib and Zim are basically tied together and defeating the other kinda leaves one of them feeling worthless (confirmed in a cancelled episode, Mopiness of Doom). Zib not only killed Zim, his purpose given form, by taking his PAK, but he ended up purging his whole universe. Meaning he also killed the people he cared about, Gaz, Dr. Membrane, everything and everyone. I think the worst part is that, all this happened because people decided to close their eyes to what was directly in front of them, and that they also bullied a kid looking for someone to at least play along with this. It's scary how easily Dib could've become Zib. Spoilers for the Zimvoid arc: When Zib is defeated, he's left in nothing but pure darkness and nothing else. Just an endless void with nothing, defeated by an enemy he's worked for so long to beat only to be beaten again (aka Zim). Let it sink in, all this happens to a12 YEAR OLD.

This whole thing is choreographed perfectly, but I want to give special note to the use of Pak legs as limb extensions. You draw them really well and how they emphasize his emotions is done GREAT. They looks so alien and sell just what he's done to himself and how far he's slipped. The song fits so well and I've probably watched this like five times already.

1:35 Dib is trying to remove the pak! I never notice that!

Congratulations, this alone made me start reading the comic. If that's not a sign of something supporting a series, I don't know what is.

I think the reason the Pak kills non-irkens has to do with the fact that it sends conflicting signals down the spinal cord causing organs to not work properly. However, since humans and irkens seem to be fairly similar when it comes to their nervous system, when zib attached it to the back of his head it managed to synchronize with his nervous system properly, because instead of acting as a second brain it simply acted as an extension of the brain.

I like how Zib's two front hairs act a bit like Zim's attenas(?).

"YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE ALL--"

SPOILERS (And yes this entire arc is canon. It’s in the IZ comic series) This is going to be a long explanation for those who can’t read the comic so bear with me... For those that don’t know what this arc is about but can’t afford to read, it’s about Zim, Dib and Gir going into a vortex portal that leads them into a void where a planet is filled with Zims, each of them from alternate timeline and can’t find their way out of the void. They each have ranking numbers and the highest ranking Zim is the one leading a hierarchical society, calling him by Number one. It soon after turns out that Number one is a mixed version of a Dib and Zim, nicknamed Zib (he hates being called that). In his timeline, Zib (originally Dib) defeated his Zim, but nobody took his accomplishment or his proof of aliens seriously. Hurt by this, he decided to put on Zim’s PAK in order to conquer the Earth, thinking that he is saving it by doing so (this is complete mix of Zim and Dib’s ideal but at a full threat level). He then makes a device in order to destroy the Irken Armada entirely, but the device destroyed his entire universe instead, leaving only the planet he is in and the device he made, soon after being called the Zapper. Once he realized he had the ability to lure Zims in from different timelines, he made a plan to brainwash them with his PAK virus so a Zim can spread it to their Irken Armada and Zib would be able to conquer Earths from a different timeline, however at a VERY high risk of destroying their universe as well. What’s happening here is that Zib wants to try this first attempt on our main characters’ timeline and Dib, along with the Zims that just found out about Number one’s true identity, are trying to stop him. However, OUR Zim and Gir messed with the Zapper that cause to both merge the Zims’ timelines with his, along with eliminating other alternate timelines by destroying the device. This is why we see a baby Zim (Nicknamed 2K)who makes a quick cameo in the animatic, dissipate all of a sudden, with the camera moving to Zim looking prideful. It is because Zim made Gir go to each of the Zim’s timeline and altered a crucial part in their timeline that made them altered versions of himself. This resulted in them sharing the same exact timeline as Zim. May not make logical sense but again, this Invader Zim. They love saying “screw time traveling logic”. (This was also the saddest part of the arc for me because I really loved the alternate Zims) Zib is last seen stuck possibly forever in the now empty planet, saying “You can’t just leave me here all-“, and in the next panel, everything is black. Now we can all assume his timeline got destroyed as a result of the Zapper’s destruction, practically killing him. Though there are different stories. Basically....Zimvoid arc is detailed. VERY detailed. If you REALLY want to know everything about the world of the Zimvoid, the characters and how the society functions, reading the arc (issues 46-49) would be the best option. Otherwise, explaining it here would just take FOREVER to type out. So yeah. Hopefully it makes you understand the video a little better. UPDATE: 2K likes WTF- .....heheh...2K likes the comment. Bad pun? ok.

I love how the ghost shirts are different on both of them.
