You know what still gets to me from Enter the Florpus?

This.

This one, brief moment with Membrane.

In this moment, in this exchange with Dib, you can see there's a lot going on in his mind. He knows what Dib wants to hear. He even knows what Dib NEEDS to hear, and some part of him even wants to say it badly, if only for the sake of his son.

But at the same time, he is Professor Membrane. A man of Science, and of principles- principles that cause him to see the world purely through the lens of proven scientific truth. Now, as the audience, we know for ourselves that everything Dib talks about is absolutely true, and more. But Membrane doesn't have that benefit… and even in a world where aliens, nightmare worlds and hog demons are real, paranormal research still attracts the same kind of grifters, attention-seekers and lunatic fringe that it does in real life. From Membrane's perspective, his son is staring down the barrel of a future that will have him as a social outcast at best and a criminally negligent scam-artist at worst. The kind of person who peddles theories about Atlantis and Aliens building Egypt on history programs.

Thus we see the conflict. This is his son's passion, and his son is all but begging for some kind of acknowledgement… but giving that acknowledgement would only help further cement what, from Membrane's perspective, down a path that will bring harm to Dib and maybe others. Especially with his endless insistence that the one, unfortunate green child is an alien… what if he ever accused the wrong person of such a thing?

Membrane WANTS to tell his son what he wants to hear. Membrane NEEDS to stay true to himself and his principles as a scientist… so he tries to find a middle path, and winds up saying basically the worst thing possible- an uncommitted not-answer that only leaves his son furious at him.

It's quite the leap from how he was in the series proper, actively belittling Dib's interests and not even attempting to stand up for him in front of others. To say nothing of his general distance and negligence as a parent, even though he DOES in fact care for his children. Invader Zim was an absurd and mean-spirited show that spared neither Zim nor Dib, and honestly I think that's a big part of why it endured for so long and what made its humor so memorable… but all the same? I do like that Enter the Florpus tossed Dib a small bone when it came to his family, and this moment is what really clinches it for me.

I dunno, I just really like this scene because of the layers I see to it, and its still my favorite.

Ik y’all are here for newton but where are my doc ock fans⁉️⁉️⁉️I love him !!!

[domoroks]

I LOVE IT THOUGH OUFHH!! we tolerate ‘annoying’ around these parts 🫡 (I myself am very annoying pfft)

I’m a bit late, so my apologies!! but this is my irkensona Rak! (who’s also my pfp :]) His occupation is a lot like a navigator, but instead he keeps up with the database of the Irken species. So like- their form of social media, tabs on wanted criminals, stuff like that. He’s very quiet and mute when he’s not being mean, and he’s another pretty tall irken. He bosses others around frequently too.

Oooh, he's so cool.

Srry about my Irkensona, he can be really annoying sometimes dsjds

[domoroks]

holy crap.. this is so cool!! i love this design :D

Behold, Earth-6198’s very own Doc Ock!

Abridged backstory / general info under the cut :D

They spent their youth wanting to become a marine biologist, and were on track to become one, alongside their childhood best friend Rosie— until meeting Norman Osborn in college. The two connected strongly, and when Norman founded Oscorp he nearly begged Otto to come work with him. Otto took up robotics and didn’t look back. Otto and Norman only grew closer over the years, united by shared intelligence and passion for their work. After Norman’s somewhat messy divorce with his wife and falling-out with Oscorp’s co-founder Roderick Kingsley, he and Otto became near inseparable. After doing some introspection, Norman realized he’d had romantic feelings for Otto since they met. They are now happily married and living together :]

Otto is currently working with Max Dillon to engineer a sustainable power source for her tentacles! The tentacles speak to him like in the Raimiverse (the novelizations specifically) but they don’t have the same influence over him. They’re like four overeager and very protective puppies welded to his spine LMAO.

Very “goofy parent” vibes!! Extremely chill and content dude. Very passionate about their work, but in the same way a stereotypical American dad loves fishing yknow.  Probably owns “world’s best stepmom” and “world’s best stepdad” mugs that he circulates between LOL

Very fond of Harry Osborn. Harry honestly likes Otto more than he likes his own dad, and Norman and Otto living together is the only reason why Harry sees Norman frequently at all.
