Warning: Incoming Character Analysis/Rant

Everyone else probably ain’t ever gonna say it, so I’m just gonna be one to do it. People can talk about the tragedy that is Zib’s existence and how they have some pity. Me? I see this genocidal maniac on the same levels as someone like King K. Rool when it comes to true evil. Dare I say he’s the most evil character in the whole franchise. This schmuck deliberately took control, practically enslaved, his whole Earth to have his way and let his ego take full charge in ridding the Irken Empire. That all blew up in his face and resulted in nearly everything, including his own family, and ended up all alone. Think that made him realize the error of his ways? NOPE! Dude merely shrugs them off without a care upon realizing the potential of the Pandora’s Quadrangles and started all over, this time taking many Zims from across the multiverse and manipulating them into fighting each other to serve “Number 1”. Sure, there were rebels, but they were small fodder in the grand scheme to use his virus to take control of all Earths in the name of “saving them all”. Heck, when the OG Zim appears and tries to rebuttal him, Zib manages to overwhelm the insane invader about what kind of Zim is, making him break at the thought of truly being the worst. How can the best truly be the worst, something that leaves him completely stumped and broken. Zib was so close to finally quenching his delirious desires, finally getting his way with nobody to call him crazy or insane, to finally be on top of the world with everything that wronged him under his thumb, to finally be the best Dib…

Or at least, he would’ve been had it not been for the unexpected arrival of the original and best Dib Membrane himself. If Zim is Dib’s greatest rival, then Zib is Dib’s most personal obstacle. While it’s true that Dib isn’t perfect, being quite the eccentric, rash-minded, and frustrated paranormal investigator that he is, deep down he’s still just a kid that simply wants some approval in his life. More specifically (and stated in Florpus), all he really wants is his father to be proud of him. Despite his aggressive behavior towards Zim and annoyance at his peers’ stupidity, Dib truly has the best intentions at heart, not wanting to see the world he lived in destroyed and ruined. Maybe his father and his little sister aren’t everything he wants them to be, but he still loves them. His skoolmates are jerks to him and never believe him, but he would never wish a painful demise upon them all. Many times he has been unlucky to the hand of the world, yet he never gives up in his goal of exposing Zim and saving the world. Throughout every episode, throughout every comic issue, throughout one whole movie, Dib slowly but surely grows and develops more as a person to help feel grounded in his purpose of life. One step at a time, he becomes less of the kid who wants to expose the alien’s guts just to get his vindication and rub it in people’s faces and more of the kid who, despite all odds, never gives up in saving the world for a better tomorrow and to make his dad proud.

Dib was able to grow…but Zib just couldn’t. He discarded the consequences of losing his family, his home planet, everything in his timeline…and he did it without a drop of regret. Zib is Dib’s dark, twisted mirror, taking his characteristics to the extreme and violently doing what he does with vile intentions. He almost succeeded in his wicked plot, had it not been for Dib being the only Dib to arrive the Zimvoid and swallowing his pride to team up with the other Zims to fight back (while also unintentionally making Zim realized how Zib managed to construct his scheme and getting back into his usual antics). It’s through his imperfections that helped save the universe, because Dib never lost himself and never ended up like his dark reflection. Because of all that, Zib lost it all because of Dib, all because unlike him, he’s completely fallen into his delusions and cannot truly be saved. Dib managed to rise into something much more and eventually save the world while all Zib can do is fall into hysterics and madness.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the true unseen glory that is Dib VS Zib. A boy that climbs up the stairs despite the heavy weights he’s carrying surpassing a boy that lost his direction and fell down those stairs.

Here comes the second part of the ending to Oddworld: Dib’s Oddysee, in which Dib’s Good Quarma will finally pay off as Abe, Tak, Sizz-Lorr, and the Mudokons come to his rescue. Of course, it also allowed him to witness one heck of a shocking surprise like no other.

Like before, credit goes to my pal and homie @mrprestto

*Fortunately for Dib, already on the thin line between life and death, help is on the way. Within the Monsaic Lines, many have gathered around to chant up a spiritual storm, one more powerful than the one used to destroy RuptureFarms. Thanks to Abe's help, the boy has managed to obtain enough Good Quarma for the Mudokons to save his life. Despite Tak's and Sizz-Lorr's concerns for Dibs safety, Abe simply chanted with a smile knowing what was about to happen.*

*The Massive lingered helplessly in space, leaving it an open target for one serious, spiritual storm building up. Time for an electric barbecue like no other.*

CRACKLE! BOOM! KRRK!

*Just as Zim was about to pull the level to send Dib to his gore-filled demise, the spiritual lightning zapped him and leaders in the most excruciating way possible. Zim and the Tallest screamed in sheer agony and pain as they all got struck, all the while Dib watched in astonishment. Now he truly knew what Abe went through with beating Molluck. With Zim fainting from the shock and the Tallest's suits about to explode off, it was right then and there Dib discovered their deepest, darkest secret.*

BANG! CLANG!

*In front of Dib's eyes were two very small Irkens, standing on a trackball that allowed them movement. This was the biggest humiliation Red & Purple have ever suffered in all their lives. The Almighty Tallest? MORE LIKE THE ALMIGHTY SMALLEST! They lied, tricked, and cheated their way with getting to the top, remaining in absolute power for their lazy and selfish desires, but thanks to Dib and his friends, they've finally fell back down to rock bottom...and then some!*

Dib: Ohhhh yuck!

*As the humiliated Tallest toppled off their trackball and fainted, Abe appeared from a bird portal, rescuing Dib from imprisonment. The human boy felt an immense sense of relief seeing his stitch-lipped ally, thankful that their plan genuinely worked.*

Dib: Abe! You saved me!

Abe: Just returning the favor, Dib. Now c'mon! Let's get out of here before this ship really goes out with a bang! Tak's been worried sick!

*Freeing Dib of his cuffs and returning his coat, the two of them made a break for it and used the bird portal to escape the Massive before it exploded. Though, as they were escaping, they weren’t aware of a tall figure finding the three unconscious Irkens, with a looney robot, a floating moose, and a hat-wearing Slig accompanying him. But we can worry about that another time.*

I’m probably the only one that compares Zib to that of King K. Rool. Both are completely insane maniacs. Everyone likes to go on and on with tragic tales of Zib…but dude literally destroyed his own timeline, his own family, and everyone in his whole universe without a care, and plans to do it again and again in the name of “saving the world”. Meanwhile, you got this crazy croc trying to commit genocide by blowing up islands and turning the world into mush for him to eat.

A trifle late doing this, but it’s finally happening. HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY to the awesome creation of Oddworld: Dib’s Oddysee, the crossover between Invader Zim and Oddworld. Behold, the first of three parts to the ending of this story, in which Dib Membrane finds himself to be in quite a drag.

Credit goes to my homie @mrprestto for this awesome art.

*After transforming into the beastly Mothman & graphically obliterating the Tallest's last ambush, a team of elite Irken soldiers with a multitude of deadly weapons, within the Massive’s Bridge, Dib Membrane was able to deactivate the weapon planned to fire directly in the trajectory of his home planet to gas out the entirety of Earth’s population. With the power core stolen by Abe and the others & most of the systems shut down, the Massive would forever be stuck in space. All Dib had to do now was haul butt outta there and rejoin with his team back at the Monsaic Lines to finally finish things off. Unfortunately, the poor lad did not anticipate there being one last surprise to spell his doom.*

PEW!

Dib: GACK!

*Upon being zapped and detained by the remaining soldiers, barely showing up late, Dib is now under arrest to await his punishment from the Tallest. He and his cohorts have killed off their troops, saved all kinds of critters from being sliced into snacks, assumedly having their partner, Molluck the Glukkon, burnt to a crisp in the newly established RuptureRanch fire, & even saving the stupid, small Irkens from being turned into Irken Ice Cream. The most important misdeed: DESTROYING ALL THEIR SNACKS! For his crimes, the boy is sentenced to DEATH!*

*Eventually, Dib is hanging around by the wrists in handcuffs, mere moments away of certain doom after recounting his tale. Abe was safe, Tak was safe, Sizz-Lorr was safe, Munch was safe, Stranger was safe, & everyone back on Oddworld and Earth were safe…all except him.*

Dib: “Well, I saved the Earth and Oddworld...but who’s going to save me?”

*The door opened to reveal Zim and the Tallest, his archrival filled with vile glee and the two alien leaders staring down with silent hatred. This one big-headed boy was the cause of all this malarky, finally understanding all the trouble that Zim had against him. For once, they were on that insane Irken’s side, wanting nothing more than to do away with that infernal, inferior human being. Now, the time has finally come for payback.*

Dib: “Cause here I am…face to face with the Tallest and ZIM.”

Red: You’re TOAST!

Purple: Do it.

*With a manic grin, Zim pulled the lever to active Dib’s doom, that being a raging, blade-filled inferno just below him. The three of them laughed in slaughter-seeking joy, ready for the boy to suffer the consequences of opposing the marvelous Irken Empire.*

Zim: BYE-BYE, DIB-BURGER!

*Is this truly the end for Dib Membrane?*

Okay, I can’t take it anymore. I took some time thinking to myself and I came to the conclusion…I friggin’ hate the ending episode. Genuinely sucks in my eyes. In simplified terms, episode 9 feels like the “Sonic Forces” to episode 8’s “Sonic Generations”. If you like it, more power to ya, but gosh this finale frigging sucks…a glorious, heartfelt show with a crap ending.

I’m gonna watch Ed, Edd n Eddy’s Big Picture Show another day to cleanse my mind.

#tadc #the amazing digital circus #rant #getting it off my chest #I hate to be like this but I just have to

Alright, imma just say it…I don’t like the finale to the Amazing Digital Circus. I don’t have any bad blood to the good folks behind it, but I just don’t like it. Amazing series, but a not so amazing ending. Regardless, I am grateful for the wonderful experience I went through with this show, and thus, I thank ye.

Behold, the first batch of storyboards of Dib's Oddworld Adventures. Our favorite paranormal investigator will be tossed into all sorts of wild predicaments with Abe, Tak, & everyone else involved...especially with Zim and Molluck on the loose.

As always, credit goes to my bestest artist buddy @mrprestto for the good stuff!

Scenes 1 & 2: Aboard the Massive, Dib, Tak, and Sizz-Lorr are now discovering Zim's horrific scheme to provide snacks for the Tallest and profit for Molluck. The start of the Oddysee.

Scene 3: The start of the Exoddus flashforwards to a lost Dib caught in a trance, his weary mind pondering what to even do. All the while Gaz screams for her brother in panic as the two and their family and friends are heading towards the end of the line...the Humongous, otherwise known as the Castle of Irk.

Scene 4: Dib dreaming and having a vision of the late Tallest Miyuki, who says that she is alive and out there across the cosmos, looking for him and the Membrane Family. What connection could she possibly have with Dib?

Scene 5: Our heroes confronting Big Face and the Almighty Raisin, two mystical mentors that have guided Abe and Munch prior. They may not know anything about Dib and his strange bunch of characters, but they have a hunch that the Hand of Odd intertwined the human's and Mudokon's destinies in order to save Oddworld and Earth.

Oddworld: Dib’s Oddysee

Dib Membrane must team up with Abe the Mudokon if they want any chances of saving their people from the evil Irken Empire & the greedy Glukkons. Join Dib and Co as they protect their worlds & foil Zim’s rotten plan!

Credit goes to the awesome @mrprestto for bring my idea to life!

The psychotic Zim has come up with a brand new plan to bring glory to the Irken Empire and the downfall of the human race. A plan so vile that the Tallests are actually proud of him for coming up with. With snacks turning up thin for the Irken Empire, Zim hatches the disturbing scheme of turning the human race into snacks, much to the horror of the eccentric, yet heroic Dib Membrane. To make matters worse, Tallest Red and Tallest Purple have negotiated with Molluck the Glukkon, boss of the destroyed RuptureFarms, and the other Gluks. The deal was simple. The Glukkons give the Irkens snacks in exchange for them capturing any creatures that can be cut up into disgusting treats to keep up profits, especially a certain stitch-lipped Mudokon named Abe. Now, not only are Mudokon Pops back on the menu, but a new dish is in store…Human Burgers. With no time to waste in saving his ignorant human kind, Dib and his closest rebel Irken allies, ex-invader girlfriend Tak and mentor-figure Sizz-Lorr, head for the planet Oddworld to thwart Zim and the Tallest. It isn’t long until they bump into Abe and his cohorts, Munch the Gabbit and Stranger the Steef, who are currently working hard on protecting the endangered species of Oddworld, including any slaves still under oppression. Realizing they’re all on the same side, Dib and Abe decide they must work together to save their species from the devious Irkens and the greedy Glukkons. However, can the Tallest really trusty those money-grubby business blokes? They seem to be hatching a new idea of their own…something about…Irken Ice Cream? Whatever the case is, it’s all up to Dib, Abe, and their friends to get to work and stop Zim, Molluck, and the Tallest. Why is Dib’s head so big? BECAUSE HE’S GOT A PLAN TO SURVIVE HIS ODDYSEE!!

gorilladude32

Oddworld: Dib’s Exoddus

Dib’s adventures in Oddworld are far from over, now with the stakes raised even higher. Teaming up with Abe and Tak again, the boy must unlock the secrets of Oddworld and Planet Irk to discover the truth about his destiny.

Credit goes to the champ @mrpresttosauce.bsky.social for making the dream come true.

Dib Membrane is declared a hero to all of Oddworld. The inhabitants were saved, the Glukkons were toast, and the Massive exploded, leaving the Irken Empire in shambles. All was right with the world…or at least, that’s what he hoped it’d stay. Days after his intense mission, the human boy’s been gaining seriously strange dreams about the Irkens’ home planet and how it used to be before its power-hungry nature. Those dreams also involved the assumably late Tallest Miyuki, who seems to have a deep connection to Dib and his family. The strangest part…She’s out there somewhere, alive. Upon the Skool being under attack by Zim and his cronies, now accompanied by the Tallest and Molluck, Dib and his girlfriend, Tak, conclude that not only is Oddworld is calling them back, but they must venture off to Irk, in which they return to Abe for his assistance. Molluck is still his usual grouchy self, but Zim and especially the Tallest are now holding a very personal, vengeful grudge against the paranormal investigator for what happened aboard the Massive before its explosion. Red and Purple were NOT going to let Dib escape alive, now that he knows their most deepest darkest (and embarrassing) secret. To make matters worse, Professor Membrane and Gaz are kidnapped and taken to Nolybab as ransom, where the depressed mother of the Mudokons, Queen Sam, is kept. The news of Dib’s heroism has spread across Mudos and even reached the Queen of Glukkons herself, Lady Margaret. If one human boy and his team of fugitives can bring a whole empire down, that clearly spelt trouble for her. In need of a plan to squash the big-headed genius, she makes her way to Irk and converses with the Control Brains that they needed to fight fire with fire. They agreed that someone capable far beyond the cosmos must put an end to this human and his silly rebellion, so they search for one possible creature to take the heroes out permanently. However, they’re about to unleash a dangerous, demented evil that never should’ve been freed at all and is about to put an end to the entire universe in the name of “saving it”. It’s all up to Dib, Abe, and their friends to uncover the rest of Oddworld’s secrets, find Tallest Miyuki, rescue Dib’s family, discover Irk’s origins, and save the whole universe from doom. In Dib We Trust, for his perfectly large head will guide us all!
