Message: [QUOTE="Waffles, post: 414188, member: 703"] I agree with a lot of what you are saying, Z. The movie definitely had a "Netflix" quality to it, which only ever means that it was afraid of letting itself be and breathe. It hurt seeing Invader Zim (a show that rewards paying attention to its madness) being remade for the "looking-at-my-phone-half-the-time" crowd. That said, I loved what they did to Dib. We needed that as much as he did. Also agree on GIR... he works best as a foil to Zim's plans, the little empty-headed robot that would actually make a better invader because he can actually blend in. We don't need to know his whereabouts, thoughts and actions all the time (in fact, the show was at its best when GIR just vanished for a few hours and returned home from night outs of whatever. Or when he sat in front of the TV or while in the process of making waffles). GIR's brand of madness is a lot like Elvira's (from Pinky, Elvira & The Brain) -- you don't need either front and center or it becomes overwhelming. [/QUOTE]
