    I've been wanting to cover more classic cartoons lately and Invader Zim was the perfect choice. The lore and science of that show fascinates me. There is so much we can dive into that it was hard to limit myself to one thing, but for you, Theorists, I will do my best. Today we are going to uncover the SECRET ALIEN hiding in plain sight. No, I don't mean Zim. I am talking about DIB!

    Jhonen Vazquez mentioned that the world of the show takes place on Earth after years of pollution and junk slowly deteriorated everyone’s brains and bodies. That’s why nearly every character is either insane, kind of dumb, or both; they are all literally suffering from brain damage. It’s no wonder everyone thinks Dib is crazy; ironically, he’s probably one of the least crazy people on the planet.

      Maybe Membrane is also going insane due to decades on Earth and his own experiments. Dib and Jazz just aren't feeling the effects yet because their Dad is also doing everything in his power to protect them. Like when Jazz had the Pig Curse, he did everything scientifically possible, and is unwilling to spiral into more insanity that comes with paranormal science

    Also quick correction, the tallest are the tallest not because they offed the current ones, but because zim, as a smeet (child). Created an infinity energy absorbing blob that ate not one, but two of the current leaders back to back. Making the whole race sort of go into a panic on who would be leader. They basically picked two of the tallest irkens at the time. Who are in canon the same age as zim, making them teen rulers..basically (jhonen vasquez plays around with they're ages, saying zim is an adult, 16. Whatever but they are basically young rulers).

He wanted the views to know there was a difference. And it has been alluded to them "becoming" the tallest by doing something to the old tallest. Which i believe was a singular leader, but i may be misremembering that

    The tragic irony of Dib being an alien is heartbreaking, really.
    He could also be a human baby that was taken and experimented on and just adopted and raised afterwards.
    He might be a human/Irken hybrid experiment, which could also explain why his head is so different than either species.
    Seems like Professor Membrane is the Bulma of that planet. Inventing everything and owning everything and basically being the richest being on the planet.
    Strange that they don't seem to live like rich people. Though his father probably uses most of his money for his experiments.

    Even if Membrane was a irken, in the movie finally it's shown both his legs and arms are robotic. So I doubt he was a 'tallest'. More likely he was really short so no one paid attention to him and his genius. So he went to earth, made a mech suit to fit in. And his peace day stunt was to show up the tallest for ignoring him.

      @@TisGrym No.Aliens as phenomenon is not science fiction.But what we usually mean under aliens - yes.
      We and all life at earth is proof that life can exist in our universe.Universe according to scientists(all this and other you can google) have diameter in 93 billion light years and visible is 28 billion ly .Approximate number of galaxies in visible universe is from 170 bilion to 2 trillion.If we do calculations of volumes by 4/3 x pi x r^3 we get that visible universe have 36.641 times smaller volume than observable.
      So approximate number of galxies in Universe from 6.229 trillion to 73.283 trillion.Wiki says galaxies have in average 100 mil galaxies, yes, not best source but other options - we don't know for sure.So i will pick 50 million, plus some of strs definitely haven't habitable planets like A-O types, this don't change result by much.Each star system have in average 10 planets but this number based on incomplete information and contains gas giants so i take 5, not including rogue planets by obvious reasons.
      As result with raw calculations we get that Universe might have from 1.55x10^21 to 1.83x10^22 planets and this is HUGE number.
      Is pretty unlikely that there is no other alien life besides us.
      But what we are considering "alien life"?Answer is any not terrestial life from simpliest microbes to more advanced organisms like plants , animals and finally sentient beings.All this have different odds , mircobes have highest and sentient beings - lowest.
      All of this we certainly know is possible having Earth and us as example, so no restrictions from universe laws of physics.
      Finally reached main point.We know that nothing can travel faster the light besides space-time.We know it for sure because all objects further 14 billion ly is moving faster than light relatively to us.But we and them moving at least half of ftl because space-time expanding in both directions, of course not entirely half this can be like 0.7 +0.3 too.But on 28billion ly distance both objects for sure moving at ftl relatively to each other.
      This concept exploited by warp drive.Exist many doubts in his possibility because requiremnts to make space-time distortion around certain area to travel at ftl.So warp drive is sci-fi for now.And ftl travel between stars too.
      So alien civilisation that can reach ftl speed is science fiction.But aliens as phenomenon, even sentient ones rather not a fiction, they just extremely rare.

    She Dosent obey anyone but membrane.
    When she got wet when Dib splashed water on her and Zim, she looked like it hurt her. Robots are affected by water.
    Why do you think he wanted Dib to go with her to the mall? He didn’t want her to get broken.
    She protects herself, all the time.
    There was one episode where she was on the elevator, and was trying to get the GS2 from Iggins, and SMASHED AND GLITCHED THE ELEVATOR FROM ONE PUNCH.

    From what I remember, Dib and maybe Gaz were confirmed as clones of Membrane, but I think there's good evidence that Membrane is a potentially banished Irken. In which case, yes I guess that means that Dib would be an alien clone. And it makes sense that Membrane would be so into trying to convince Dib that aliens aren't real, both to keep his cover best he can, and potentially because he isn't ready to let the kids know about their clone status. It would be crazy enough to hear that you're a clone, much less an alien clone.

    Something I’m surprised that wasn’t mentioned is the “Arm control nerve” in Dib’s stomach as seen in “NanoZim”. Even Dib points out how that doesn’t exist in humans. This would also explain how Zim, an alien creature who doesn’t understand much of Earth, would know exactly where to find it.

    I always liked to think that the humans around Dib were stylized to represent how he felt about them. So to me his father looked "alien" because to Dib it feels like he is. Like he can't connect to him because he acts so distant to him almost speaking another language while they talk. But your theory is amazing. Zim looked clearly alien to Dib because that is what he saw and felt. But clearly anyone else was not able to see it. To them Dib was the more weird and alien than Zim. It's an amazing show no matter how freaky it sometimes got.

    He has done exactly what an invader should do, he perfectly blended in with the planets native inhabitants, even to the point they think he has children. It makes perfect sense for him to clone himself if there are no other Irken on Earth for him to reproduce, yet Dib and Gaz will still be biologically related to him. While simultaneously throwing Dib under the bus, he was going to show them off to society before he started the Perpetual Energy Generator, saying "I'd like to introduce you all to my children" at the very start of his speech. I feel I should mention in the comics, there's a poem that details how Zim conquers the Earth and reveals that Dib has been "one of us all along" before he rips his skin off and shows that he's Irken underneath. Maybe just a nightmare, but possibly foreshadowing?

  • @Jarack25
    @Jarack25 2 года назад +7

    If we act like this show has strong continuity and characters don't just die every episode, then I have an alternative to this theory that doesn't rely on believing that Dib is an alien.
    Dib says that he has "I have vague memories of being taken on board an alien ship as a baby." But if he's a clone of membrane with the intelligence to boot, then what's to say that he doesn't have similar memories?
    Membrane picks up alien mannerisms, is hyper intelligent, and refuses to believe in the supernatural even when it's right in front of him because of a single thing called trauma.
    In Enter The Florpus, he says, "How could anything this horrifying, plausible be real?"
    At the end of the episode, Mopiness Of Doom Membrane asks himself where he went wrong.
    He appears to be an alien because he was experimented on rather than being one. His actions, like embarrassing Dib on live TV and trying to get him to give up on paranormal investigations, are partly out of not wanting to remember his painful past and wanting to keep his kids safe from events like Enter The Florpus and Dark Harvest.
    Or we're just overthinking kids shows as always.

    Worth pointing out that in the comics Dr Membrane arrived on Earth with his parents. Both were tall and as we can see with tallest red and tallest purple, there is always two people to rule so if the guy was alone then he could have been killed in public without anyone caring since they have to be a duo with a bond to rule after the previous tallests. Also it is obvious that Dr Membrane doesn't want to rule a snack domain, he loves science. Maybe that's another reason why he was thrown away to Earth with his parents: the parents are two tall people with an obvious bond in the shape of Dr Membrane as a kid. If the hierachy had discovered that two tall probably destined to be the next tallests have a child who will heritate of their height then it can be a motivation for the irkens to get rid of them because Dr Membrane is a defective. He is destined to be tall so he is destined to rule one day but he shows his love for science to the point of having the same collars and science coats as the medical/scientific and technician part of the population of Irk. It would be a disgrace for the irken population to hear that a future to be tallest wants to become a scientist (so to go the lower class of people on the scale right under the tallests and the invaders). I think this is the reason why he was send to Earth as a child but he was still old enough to understand and remember his native planet so the rest of the theory is pure canon to me😊
    Also it totally destroys the theories about a ''Miss Membrane because Gaz has doesn't look like her father'' she look like her grand-father and Dr Membrane as well as Dib look like Dib's grand-mother. DNA is complicated but to summerise it, Dr Membrane having a daughter who doesn't look a lot like him doesn't mean that she's linked to a human mother or anything. It's just that thoses recessive traits were picked up in Dr Membrane's DNA to create Gaz. Even further we can imagine that Dr Membrane took DNA from his parents to keep it for the day he'd make clones after all we don't know where Dr Membrane's parents are now, or if they are still alive.
