Whether past or present, there are a wealth of vibrant and lively efforts which have made their mark on audiences over the years. However, there are some titles which fans argue ended far too soon. Such is the case for Invader Zim. Created by comic book writer and cartoonist Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon, the show centres on the titular Zim voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz , an extraterrestrial who hails from the planet Irk.

Across two seasons — well, sort of — we were invited to chronicle his efforts to conquer Earth alongside his robot companion GIR Rosearik Rikki Simons , often thwarted by Dib Andy Berman. So, why did Invader Zim get cancelled? This was reported by The Northerner in , which is the year the show was cancelled. Zim decides to disquise himself as a elementry student to hide amonst the humans.

Together with his less than intelligent robot sidekick GIR they try to conquer the Earth. The only one standing between Zim and his plans is a fellow classmate of his, named Dib.

Dib is basically what Muldor from the X-Files was probably like in elementry school. He immediately sees Zim as an alien but being the odd child he is no one believes him. If not for the fact they were trying to kill each other the two outcasts would probably be great friends.

Yet if Nickelodeon keeps their current plans we will never be able to see if Earth is to be saved or destroyed. Vasquez could not believe they let him even do that. Also there are other ways you can help keep Zim on the air, such as writing to Nickelodeon asking that they please keep Zim on.
