Line 64:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: An absurd amount of it.
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: Teenagers and young adults love ''Zim'', which was targeted at 8-to-11-year-olds (not that you could really tell from the content).
* [[Ron the Death Eater]]: Dib gets this treatment in fanfic a lot -- [[Accentuate the Negative|having his nastier impulses cranked up]] to the point of being an outright [[Torture Technician]], and being portrayed as a bully that "picks" on Zim ([[Pick Onon Someone Your Own Size|when the balance of power goes the other way entirely]]). It's a common assertion that he is xenophobic to the extreme and [[Fantastic Racism|only hates Zim because he's an alien]], and must be assumed to have no actual sympathy or compassion for his fellow human because he '''does''' hope for [[Ambition Is Evil|personal self-gain in opposing Zim]], when most episodes make it clear he'd like to better humankind ''and'' himself.
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: Some consider the later episodes ("Mortos Der Soul Stealer", "Zim Eats Waffles", "Gaz, Taster of Pork", etc.) to have suffered a significant drop in quality.
** Of course, ''Mortos'' did have this memorable gem...
Line 71:
* [[Selfish Evil]]: Zim on occasion.
* [[Selfish Good]]: Dib in the earlier episodes. All he seemed to care about was to capture Zim and prove that aliens are real, before caring about the world more.
* [[Sending Stuff to Save Thethe Show]] The fan group Operation Head Pigeon spammed the Nickelodeon executives using phone calls and message boards. The group has prompted a Zim marathon, putting it back on Nicktoons, and a best-of DVD entitled "Operation Doom". If the DVD sells well, they hope more seasons will be greenlighted.
* [[Shipping]]:
** [[Cargo Ship]]: Sort of an inversion. GIR seems to have a little crush on Gaz. It's rather subtle though. Evidence for this can be found in the episodes "Bloaty's Pizza Hog" and "Tak, the Hideous New Girl".
