The actual critique isn't anything that entertaining. I direct your attention to the comments received.
I like comedy in my drama, but not drama in my comedy. When I watch a drama, I know things are going to be serious and such, so when it makes me laugh, I'm that much more surprised. When I watch a comedy, I WANT to laugh, and thus, if it depresses me with real-world issues and seriousness, I don't want to watch anymore.
And so, when I watch something like Invader Zim, it's hard for me to think seriously about anything - the characters, the plots. For crying out loud, it's the story of a short green-skinned alien who wears a poor human disguise and tries to conquer Earth with the help of a malfunctioning robot disguised as a big-headed green dog with a zipper down his belly.
Based on that, how the FUCK does one write a serious love story?
And the comments aren't about, "Yeah, this is dumb." They're about, "I know, it's so hard to find good ZimxDib slash."
I could imagine it's hard to find believable, interesting stories about an alien and a paranoid boy who have numerous times attempted to MURDER EACH OTHER, falling in love.
You humans suck. This is why I'm a kitty.
