>>109402714I think the only joke that I would label as pandering to the nostalgic faggoty fans would be the part where Dib and Zim are yelling at each other from far away, but even then that's a stretch because it was a running gag in the show.
I was actually really happy that Jhonen had the opportunity to expand on Mini Moose since he said that was something he wanted to do before the OG show got cancelled.
>>109402809I think it was probably to balance the budget or give greenhorns in the industry a chance to work. I remember a time when Nick had put out listings for people to work on these revival shows so I wouldn't be surprised if a few amateurs got to do a few scenes.
