"Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus!" News & Discussion Thread

[PinkieLopBun]

This took me by surprise. After the recent events concerning Nick's treatment of Harvey Beaks, C.H. Greenblatt started talking with fans about more fun topics and someone asked him how he'd feel if him and Jhonen Vasquez made an Invader Zim TV movie and he said that Vasquez is making an Invader Zim movie.

Certainly surprising news to say the least.

If Greenblatt keeps running his mouth he's gonna get blacklisted from the industry.

I've been worried about that too. While I can understand his frustration over how his show is being treated and I still like how he is going all out with his feelings towards the channel, I am worried that he'll burn too many bridges at this point and make it more difficult to work for other channels in the future, although his choices are rather limited when I can't see him sticking with Nickelodeon or going back to Cartoon Network right now. I imagine that he was given the okay to provide this information, or at least I hope he was since that might make things even more difficult for him if he wasn't.

Anyway, an Invader Zim movie makes sense. It was a pretty popular series with a strong following, so it would be another reasonable choice in their revivals. I wasn't a huge fan of the series myself, but a movie sounds like it could be interesting depending on where they go with the story and characters.

So, what happen to the Invader Zim comics? I thought they were suppose to continue the series?

Also, that makes sense: ever since Disney bought and shelved Very Important House, Vasquez has been out of work.

Perhaps he can't talk about it yet. Nick hasn't actually announced it. Greenblatt just happened to mention it. Vasquez may have hinted at the movie with this, unless there's something else he might be working on.

oh that's nice! shame on greenblatt for mentioning it earlier thought.

Greenblatt deleted his original post. Vasquez was denying it on Twitter so I wonder if he made him delete it. In any case, I reblogged it, so if you didn't see the post, see it here:

Nickelodeon has been known to force their creators to lie on the internet.

However, this time it's Greenblatt's fault for mentioning it.

Harvey Beaks Series Talkback

I think that link was already posted in Harvey Beaks talkback thread

I can't imagine Jhonen making a new Zim thing considering how adamant he's been that Nick does not want him back.

Nick made a complete 180 with it's old brands. They try to win credibility with those creator driven specials that are cheaper to make than new seasons, I'm pretty sure projects like this and Rocko are pretty much vanity projects that were ordered to save face. The Zim comics are doing well, so why not. Maybe Vasquez signed an NDA and he can't say anything (he didn't deny tho), while Greenblatt just knows it because they work in the same studio and decided to ruin the surprise because he's mad at Viacom rn

 

[Ghostbuster]

Jhonen has been doing a bit of publicity with Nick lately. He recently was a guest on the Nick Animation Podcast, and he participated in one of Nick's SDCC panels this year.

Edit: Plus, he made this TMNT short - https://www.toonzone.net/forums/threads/sdcc-2016-donnie-vs-raph-by-jhonen-vasquez.5555421/

I think Vasquez exaggerates on the animosity of their relationship. Or maybe it was bad and has gotten better over the years.

Ugh, these reboots just keep coming by surprise. And they never stop.

I don't think it'll be a reboot.

 

[superkeegan9100]

I don't think it'll be a reboot.

I meant that there are so many returning old shows (the upcoming Rocko TV movie and the upcoming Legends of the Hidden Temple TV Movie, not to mention the upcoming Muppet Babies reboot), why can't they make something new for a change?

Well it's only just a movie and will probably end up cancelled like most planned cartoon movies. And we are still getting original content as well.

DON'T SAY THAT!

DON'T SAY THAT!

So why complain about it then?
