I also like the implication that Membrane is trying to be a better father but doesn't quite know how without dismissing his interests and concerns entirely... and just ends up pushing his son away further. And that Zim sees how much his absentences effect Dib's mental state and thus begins phase one.

This brings Dibs addiction in a whole new light. Instead of comical, it's now something very concerning that needs to be looked at with caution.

[@nahhhhhhhh271]

Agreed

[@Broomer52]

We see it from his perspective and we understand where he’s coming from but from everyone else Dibs obsession with Zim is weird and unhealthy, literally unhealthy. He turns into a hideous goblin who refuses to leave his room out of paranoia

[@Dana_Brain]

This is such an amazing scene and fits as a perfect prologue to the movie in every way. I really like the emphasis on Zim when it talks about his best friend. Cause the sad thing is, Zim is probably the closest thing he has to a best friend. Like Dib really has no one in the world who believes him, besides Zim. Which you can tell really eats at him and causes him to be a recluse the more Zim doesn't come to skool. I just love this a lot

[@problemseyes7126]

Well his sister knows zim is an alien, but she has realised that he is too incompetent to actually take over the world.

[@FuckTheYoutubeUsernameChange]

i also love how Dib is clearly the only person who views Zim as competent. everyone else just sees him as a failure. hell, even Gaz, who knows Zim is an alien, knows he won't be able to take over the world, and his leaders are counting on him never succeeding. Zim and Dib give each other a reason to keep fighting, and they believe in each other

[@Sunnydaz3_]

I want to like your comment, but that would ruin the 420

[@dusty4676]

Yeah, there was one episode where Dib decides to give up on Alien Hunting to be a scientist like his Dad, so Zim eventually becomes depressed and unmotivated to excecute his world domination plans and starts to feel purposeless without Dib. Along the line Dib realises that he hates being a scientist/feels similarly to Zim, so he promptly returns to trying to destroy Zim. Idk, they care about each other more than they consciously realise, lol. Honestly, I got into this fandom via the Netflix movie, and I legit thought that they'd end up being best friends/bickering- buddies by the end, like, their personalities bounce off each other so well and they have the best interactions.

You know what would be a really interesting alternate universe of Invader Zim? One where Dib does not recognize that Zim is an alien. He's still gung-ho about aliens existing, and Zim is constantly paranoid that Dib figured him out, but Dib is convinced that Zim is human.

Love this. Now I’m just wondering how pissed dib really is to find out zim has been in a toilet after all this hard work of stalking his house aggressively

[@xhostzohxghost871]

The best way to describe his anger is calling over your friends to tell them that you have just bought $1000 worth of explosive fireworks that shoot up 500 ft into the air and make giant colorful cock in the sky. Naturally, everyone is excited and ready. It's been taking hours to get the fireworks up, everyone is bored out of their mind, and there is not enough booze for them to wait patiently. Finally, after all that hard work, you finally have the fireworks ready, and they start flying in circles on the ground, making farting noises and shoot into the neighbor's dog. That is how it felt. (Btw that was from Rank10ygo)

[@TheStarsTwilight]

Warning: Mini Thesis Paper of a Comment Ahead. A lot of people are saying they feel bad for Membrane, but quite frankly when it comes to the beginning of Enter the Florpus/Issue 1 I feel way worse for Dib and can't sympathize with his dad at all. Dib manages to get himself in such a severe state of paranoia that he spends weeks straight not leaving the monitor to go sleep, bathe, or presumably (as it's made very clear he didn't ever leave that room) using the goddamn toilet. It's ironic that the ONE time his dad decides not to call mental health services, Dib legitimately needed them. The state he was in was beyond unhealthy and he could of very easily ended up accidentally killing himself from his own neglect. To put this in perspective - even animals instinctively avoid living in their own shit. The fact Dib's mind broke down to such an extreme degree is a clear sign that the kid needs serious help. Dib might be correct about Zim, but as referenced at the beginning of the animatic, that doesn't mean he's sane. I mean, Dib's behavior in the beginning of Issue 1/Florpus is scarily close to extreme cases of paranoid schizophrenia (the term is no longer in use and Dib would actually be a childhood schizophrenic, but let's not go there). It gets even worse when you remember Dib literally IS working under the delusion that if he leaves the monitor for a second Zim will immediately do something. Paranoia in general is not a fun feeling - imagine living in constant terror, scared that the entire universe is out to get you and if you can't control everything you're going to die. It's an intense situation that completely destroys any chance of feeling happy or fulfilled with life. Spending weeks if not months seeped in pure, neverending terror is absolutely horrifying. It's especially horrifying that Zim, an alien, was able to perfectly predict Dib would act out that way despite being so far from normal behavior for... life in general, not just humans. The fact even ZIM could pick up on how severe Dib's obsession is and the levels he'll go suggests Dib may have done this kind of thing before, albeit on a much lesser extent. Back to the point about Dib's father, Professor Membrane fully knew Dib was acting in a very unhealthy manner and didn't seem to care. The fact he doesn't call mental health services despite Dib becoming a legitimate danger to himself is beyond neglectful. It makes Membrane look like someone who only cares about Dib's "insanity" when it's affecting his reputation, as the only difference here from other times where Dib is acting paranoid (besides it being much worse) is the fact that Dib is hiding from the rest of humanity. This is one aspect where Enter the Florpus actually makes Membrane's behavior WORSE as in the original version of this plot, Membrane at least knew what his son was doing. However, in Florpus he casually states "oh well, at least he's not dealing with paranormal stuff" which is so blatantly false that it becomes clear Membrane never even bothered to check on his son. He seemed pretty content in Dib just hiding in his room forever. It's part of the reason I honestly don't buy the idea Membrane is this caring but flawed father and feel like Florpus was less addressing the abuse in Dib's home life and moreso pretending it doesn't exist (while ironically keeping the neglect implications of this plot, making it fail even at that). Membrane saying he's proud of Dib is sweet and all, but frankly I can't see it with how his actual character is, especially in the original show. The way the professor constantly calls his own son insane to his face borders on emotional abuse and I just can't ignore that. The worst thing though is that in the end, it's revealed Dib didn't even realize what the crap he'd done. He was so far out of reality that when he's pulled back in by Zim's return he's disgusted with himself and his actions. There does seem to be a part of Dib that deep down believes everyone else is right and he's legitimately annoying and insane. Having that confirmed all at once is one hell of an epiphany. Worse yet, in the case of the comic version of this storyline, Zim uses Dib's borderline psychosis to humiliate him across several galaxies, likely as a way to enact Dib's own goals for Zim (surveillance followed by exposure) against him. Dib ends that issue alone, crying because his reputation has been ruined even more than it already was. The poor kid had his mental state completely taken advantage of only to be blamed for something he couldn't even tell was wrong (at the time) and nobody bothered to help him improve against. And this kind of thing actually happens in real life. Invader Zim in general gets scarily accurate in terms of how it portrays ableism. It doesn't hide shit and shows it in all its disgusting glory. And, while never explicitly stated, the show makes it very clear that the way Dib is treated is wrong and the people who harass him are assholes. It's surprisingly rare to see mental health discrimination portrayed in universe and have it be treated as inhumane. It's even rarer to see discrimination against the severely mentally ill shown as incorrect despite how rampant it is. At the end of the day, regardless of whether Dib is actually schizophrenic or not, he's still presumed by humanity to be and their treatment still has a clear impact on his self image and emotional state. There's a reason Dib is so desperate to finally be respected. Yet the show treats him as a person in his own right. He has goals, he has hobbies, he has feelings, and struggles and relationships. If anything, Dib is the single MOST developed and human character on the show. In a way, the shows handling of the subject is absolutely beautiful and one of the most real takes on living with a mental health issue. Sorry for this long diatribe - this animatic just perfectly encapsulates a lot of my thoughts about the plotline and what it means for Dib as a whole. You clearly have a great understanding of the implications and how to convey them perfectly.

[@ladylucifer5044]

[@Specs_next]

this is very sad,I never really thought about it cause it's just a show and i'm not a observant person but this just completely shows the movie and show in a whole new light that i would have never thought of .

[@cryptologicalMystic]

And given the state of mental health "treatment" (read: the Crazy House for Boys) in that universe, there's basically no chance he's going to get any actual help. :(

[@kellyfrank8358]

Slight Warning: Sorry for being a mini reply paper to add-on to the original comment. -- Also, if I may point out that Membrane didn't even acknowledge his son's proof of being in an inter-galactic prison with other world prisoners, or even going through space with Tak's ship; writing it all off, as a delusion to Dib'ss face - as figments of imagination or isn't true but also Membrane isn't sane either as we see that he replaced his hands with machine modifications. I'm not an a psychotherapist, but Membrane and Dib have more in-common than he realize or doesn't want to acknowledge - as they obsess over an interest and want public acknowledgement for it but the only difference is that in this universe the lifeforms of Earth are too idiotic to realize danger even their faces. I mean, Takk nearly hollowed out the Earth (or, in the case of the movie - when Zim moved the Earth and created an apocalypse ) and the mentally was of ants, at best, of screaming and running around as the Earth was being destroyed. Yet, the biggest difference is that the people welcome easy and something within the comfort zone (aka science/ the stuff Membrane works in) and therefore, Membrane had it easy to gain public acknowledgement and favor over Dib's research and proof because it isn't easy and it is outside of the general public's comfort zone. I'm pointing this all out because if Membrane wasn't accepted and favor, I can bet he'd end up like Dib - obsessed and crazed over the thing he is passionate about and it probably to would be to the length of neglecting health and mental care for himself, or replacing both of his arms with robotics. -- Sorry for writing a long essay, I just had to get my thoughts out about this and if there are errors I am truly sorry but peace to you if you like it!

[@drowsydolls]

I completely agree with everything you've said here.. I know the show is comedic and random, but I always find myself feeling so bad for Dib, and finding deeper meanings to things that happen in the show. Dib's always been my favorite character because I just have this feeling of sympathy and wanting to protect him in any way possible because he just seems so alone in the world. Honestly the same can be said about Zim, since he and Dib are pretty similar in a way. Zim's leaders don't care about him at all, and ditched him onto Earth hoping he'd die there and be out of their hands for good. Zim is either just too aloof and proud to realize that, or he secretely knows and he just shoves it deep down so he doesn't have to come to terms with the horrible truth. I find myself thinking that a lot. It's why I'm a huge fan of ZaDf, Zim and Dib literally need eachother and it's like they're the only ones eachother's got.

[@feedmeastraycat8247]
