Why is he so awful? All the other Irkens are mostly normal but why is he so awful when compared to them. Is he mentally ill?
Why is he so awful? All the other Irkens are mostly normal but why is he so awful when compared to them...
Jacob Hill
Brody Rogers
Cause it's funny
Jonathan Peterson
He is the one.
Adrian Young
Maybe the heightism of the irken race isn't just aesthetic based. maybe there is a measurable correlation between an irken's height and their incompetence
Kayden Hill
The tallest are retards though, they died from their stupidity.
Levi Taylor
Well let's see user
given what we know about Irken society
what did you THINK the objectively inferior would end up like, if not a massive case of Dunning-Kruger?
Fuck he's so undeservedly into himself, if he'd been taller, he'd be leadership material.
Michael Jenkins
But Zim has saved countless lives by (subconsciously?) sabotaging the empire’s operations. Clearly he’s the least evil Irken.
Carter Myers
An old, popular fan theory is that he's a defect. Irkens are a synthetic, cyborg species who grow their young in tubes. Pretty sure Zim lost an eye once in an old episode, then just kind of popped it back in. Odds are his PAK's all fucked up.
Aiden Fisher
He's defective, but to a point where he can do more damage outward than to himself. You could make the argument that he's one of the deadliest Invaders in the entire Irken army.
Ayden Gray
but the tallest were just randomly selected goons selected by the behind-the-scenes irken rulers to get augmented robot bodies so the soldiers have a clearly superior being to look up to
Nolan Davis
Fucked up equipment
From the Trial:
>The Brains: Our ruling; IRKEN ZIM's I.D PAK is damaged and has led to a corrupt data path. HE IS... A DEFECTIVE.
Liam Roberts
It's not a fan theory. It straight up says so in the Trial transcript.
Robert Russell
He is the epitome of the Irken race, able to cause more destruction and mayhem than any other, he just does it to his own species mostly.
Dylan Allen
Did you even watch the show? He was a manlet, the absolutely shortest of all the irken.
Jayden Richardson
Exposure to DDT.
Ian Lopez
His PAK has a virus.
Kayden Gonzalez
It's probably that chemical they're putting in the water that turned the frogs gay.
Owen Edwards
Well in the original series they were supposed to be a puppet government distracting from the control brains calling the shots. And they were even smaller than Zim piloting robot suits to pretend they are tallest.
Logan Smith
Because he is a cartoon
Caleb Turner
They stayed straight to the very end
Luis Baker
Lol so you're saying he's autistic? So... if we got rid of his autism... he'd actually be competent? or THE MOST competent?
Hudson Edwards
the show doesn't focus on the other irken
Charles Walker
Probably some aspergers thrown somewhere in there too.
Blake Davis
Is there sauce on this? This shit seems to have been retconned because they gave the Tallest an additional finger.
