I get that Vaquez likes his edge and shit, but the relationship between Dib and Zim makes the series work, more than anything else. He's the best possible villain for Zim because, like Zim, he is simultaneously not apart of the general stupid that the rest of Earth is under and still somehow more stupid than the rest of Earth because of his relentless obsession.
They play off each other brilliantly, in a way that a character like Squee or Gaz or even Tak could never dream of. Zim will never beat Dib, and Dib will never beat Zim, and that's fucking hilarious.
I do wish that some of the other cut shit stayed. Expanding upon Dib and Zim's relationship, bringing back Tak, using the Resisty as a subtle arc villain, all building up to one hell of a hypothetical finale. I suspect that if the crew hadn't already pushed the envelope so many times before they would have gone through with Season 2, but you can only take so much crap.
