Sometimes I think about how invader zim accidentally led to the creation of avatar the last air bender and I’m just just..woah!!! Things can impact other things just like that. Crazy.
And Portal!
P
Portal?
At the very least, one of the artbooks (I think???) discussed how IZ was a huge inspiration for Portal, especially in its music.
It...checks out.
That’s incredible if true
Ngl when I first played Hollow Knight, our character reminded me of Zim. Glad I'm not the only one who sees it.
IZ really has inspired so much its crazy. I met Toby Fox at a con once and he said Zim was an early inspiration for Papyrus from Undertale, and I think he mentioned he had Gir in mind when making some of the dogs in Snowdin
