Something about this scene looks familiarĀ
Membrane only refers to his offspring by their names in special circumstancesā¦.
Yāall mind if I justā¦ā¦ *rewrites the entire ending to ETF* There, I fixed it.
Dear Mr.Vasquez, if an Invader Zim reboot ever happens, please donāt revert things to the status-quo. I donāt think my heart could take it.
I know Membrane became a somewhat controversial character in the fandom after ETF came out. But I actually do want him to growĀ and change and be better, and he was obviously taking steps in the right direction, but I think Membrane realized he has to do more. I based a lot of this conversation off of an experience I have had with my own parents,Ā āmeeting halfwayā as it were.
Dib and Membrane speak the exact same language and are very much alike, but they miss the mark entirely when it comes to communicating with each other. Dib is still a moron, and Professor Membrane is still a moron, but it is a start.Ā
You canāt haveĀ āfound familyā without finding the family you had all along after all.
This explains Dibās rabid behavior toward Zim after the events of the Florpus make way more sense.
And for how feral and aggressive Dib acts, people forget heās just a kidā¦a pretty average 12 year old boy actuallyā¦.. and I know Dib isnāt a character who cries very oftenā¦.. but from some dialogue in ETF, itās implied that Gaz has seen Dib cry beforeā¦.Ā You canāt tell me that all of that doesnāt get to him sometimes.
Also no one tell Dib heās a fictional character. It would break him
