Media Musin’ Monday, #7:

Screw You, Nickalodeon: Making Fiends Deserved Better

I have no idea how anyone could seriously believe that the entertainment industrial complex™ even tries anymore to hold the illusion of a just or meritocratic realm. No holds barred, I have my issues with about every company still clinging like barnacles to the tragic, sinking ship that cable TV has become, but if you want me to point to a network that’s given me an entire skeleton of bones to pick by this point, and I’m underlining Nickelodeon in red at the top of my list.

It’s not because they host some bad shows, no. It’s not a sour grapes reaction to the untimely end of some of my favorite shows either, and though the entire rotten apple situation with creators like Dan Schneider and Butch Hartman certainly added to barrel’s spoilage, I would still feel every bit of my disdain for Nick’s tv group for the one cardinal sin they have committed again and again and again to ad nauseum- their ongoing phase of running a talent slaughterhouse.

It sounds hyperbolic, but I’d call it a fair observation: Spongebob is widely aknowledged as legitimately both the best and the worst thing to happen to this corner of kid’s media, hands down, but I don’t blame the little yellow guy one bit. He’s only another victim to the mess, and as much as I would love to go on a whole dossier spiel of the history of Nickalodeon from the 90s “golden age” to a full list of the dozens of shows and creators their execs have royally fucked over in the name of chasing the ratings dragon… for one, that’s been done a hundred times by other people at this point, and much better than I could. For two, that would take all freaking day. Just off the top of any cartoon savvy person’s head you’d vaguely recall the assassination of Legend of Korra, El Tigre, or Invader Zim, but that can is filled with so many “blink and you’ll miss it” smaller shows that were barely given two steps out of the starting gate, it pads down an entire TVTropes article on the subject. Dozens of them, shows that Nick all but basically set up for failure before quietly shipping them to the peaceful farm upstate- by which I mean shuffled off to inconsistent time blocks and lower priority channels so they could burn out their final approved episodes in hospice. Nicktoons alone garnered a hell of a reputation for exactly what I’m talking about, but that’s show biz, or… something.

Their worst and probably most audacious offense of all? Let me tell you about the fate of the charming world of a little girl who made fiends.

There’s no better place to talk about the end than the beginning.

Making Fiends, I mean, the original Making Fiends was a series of flash-animated shorts among a handful of other early 2000s web cartoons made by Amy Winfrey.

✨ Just, in case you didn’t recognize or feel something for that name, Amy Winfrey is one of the utter beasts of cartoons in general, not purely kids’ media. Songwriter, directing, animation, screenwriting, voice acting… you name a part of the process, and she’s probably dipped her toe in there at some point. Professionally, she broke into the industry contributing work to earliest season of South Park, and while she personally is most known for and associated with Making Fiends, the likely most prominent body of work she’s been a part of would be Bojack Horseman, wherein she’s credited as a director for many of its strongest episodes, including (but not limited to):

- “Free Churro”

- “The Telescope”

- "Sunk Cost and All That"

- “The View from Halfway Down”

- Amy Winfrey and her spouse (Peter Merryman) making a cameo appearance in the BJH episode “sunk cost and all that”

And even before all of that, she’s been at this animation stuff since the 90s and it shows in a loaded up portfolio of accolades and projects, both professional and personal.

The relevance of this information is to help put in some perspective to just how rotten of a deal she comparatively got with Nickelodeon, when one of those passion creations got a chance to join the network’s airing list.

But to sum up the idea of the web series proper, it independently released 24 short episodes in total, each centered around the antics of two girls engaged in both a completely one sided friendship and nemesis-ship. The show’s namesake refers to the single action the evil little Vendetta is most known for- creating a variety of servant monsters, many of which she uses to secure her rule over the port town of Clamburg, and all its inhabitants. Charlotte, on the other hand, is the quintessential “children’s show” character: near inhumanly kind, cheerful, and naive. So much so that she’s oblivious to her “best friend’s” near daily attempts to murder her, or the fact that she, you know, despises her.

In 2006, Nickelodeon took an interest in Winfrey’s toon and the prospect of adapting it into a TV series, reportedly because a daughter of a studio employee was a huge fan.

And fun fact btw, this was actually the first time that Nick did this approach of turning an indie web animation into one of their shows, but it certainly wasn’t the last if you remember this was also the origin of Breadwinners.

And as far as the audience was concerned, it was quite the successful transition! The TV version pretty much kept all of the major beats and vibes of the original, with polished animation, the same voice actors, and some stylistic upgrades to the art/environmental designs. For a brief time, it was the highest rated thing on its release channel too. Someone I don’t quite recall the name of once endearingly referred to the show as “baby’s first grimdark” and I adore how fitting of a summary that is. It sports a charmingly unique art style, memorable soundtrack, and I can swear to y’all, the humor aged like a fine wine.

“Why don’t you pretend to be dead?”

“:) ok!”

*slam*

(Also, sidenote, the entire series is still up on your tube, in HD, completely free to watch!)

So, if it’s such a neat little show, then why on earth does barely a soul seem to remember it existing? And even fewer scare who recall knowing about the show during its 2008 release?

Because Nickelodeon Studios, without hyperbole, set this show up for failure at every single turn before it even got a fighting chance.

People know of some shows that Nick treated like garbage, but this one they treated like absolute shit for reasons I can’t fathom.

Making Fiends, for one, never actually saw the light of day on the main network channel, as per the original plans. It was actually instead delegated over to Nick’s sister channel, Nicktoons, by a last minute decision.

Nicktoons, fyi, was not carried by most cable packages. I obviously lived on it as a kid, and it was functionally to Nick what I remember Boomerang being to Carton Network- the cable block where reruns of much older but loved shows were shoveled off to once they finished their days on the main channel.

Second, it was quietly premiered with barely a couple farts of advertising, too. I remember maybe seeing one preview as a kid, on Nicktoons.

And I guess, not keeping either of these in mind, Nick then abruptly pulled the plug on the whole thing, citing the tried and true “low ratings” explanation and leaving it at that.

Not counting years of post-cancelation reruns, the show actively ran from October 4, 2008, to November 1, 2008.

That is roughly a month between premiere and the end production date.

One season. Six entire episodes.

Seven whole additional completed scripts abandoned on the table.

Yeah.

I’m a touch salty about it still.

And with the shutting down of the Nicktoons network social media in 2018, any additional acknowledgment of the show from Nickelodoen themselves has kind of vanished to my knowledge. Like, it’s almost no wonder you already had to be part of the cult following to know about it, when Nick has been quiet about the calf they sent to auction since. Worst part is, they still hogged the rights to the show instead of idk, wild idea, giving it back over to Winfrey. I can only imagine people get away with entire reuploads of the series under the otherwise very IP protective Nick’s nose as another display of how low and bastardly those execs really view Making Fiends.

And that sucks! Wow! But I guess in a “be happy it happened, not sad it ended” way, I’m kind of glad for the fact that we can still enjoy and pass around the show that we did get to experience at all, rather than see it fade into true lost media territory.

Even today, about 16 whole years later, I know for a fact there are still plenty of other fans that remember and cherish the splash this tiny show made in that big, brutal pond. So, in that manner, you can’t truly call Making Fiends dead and gone.

A bittersweet story to think about, and only one of many down a long list, but ultimately one I’m happy to be able to tell at all.

Even if all the while still raising a giant middle finger to the network for the ending.

I’m gonna talk a bit, stick with me.

Rewind to about 4 years ago. I was in Middle School and had started working on an Invader Zim book. A little project titled “The Rise Of Irk”. I loved writing, and it was so cool to rebuild this world and these characters. But I had hit a bit of a roadblock, and wasn’t sure how to continue the epic story. I needed a twist of some kind, I just wasn’t sure where to go.

But then, one day, Film Theory’s video about Invader Zim popped up in my YouTube recommended.

I watched that video about a dozen times, it was so awesome, and it really inspired me to finish the story. Funny thing, shortly after that I ended up meeting who would eventually become one of my best friends after geeking out over that video together.

Fast forward to now, so many amazing people have joined me to help make my dream come true, and turn that little book into an Animated web series. And I couldn’t be more excited.

But also, I couldn’t be more thankful. MatPat is just one of the many people I have to thank for that inspiration.

Thank you legend, we’re all gonna miss you, but I wish you nothing but the best going forward.

Invader Zim: JPopIdolAU Chap3

Chapter 3: Research

Dib had missed the bus. He pulled his trenchcoat over his head and ran all the way home. He burst through the door only to be greeted by an indifferent Gaz.“ Did you save the world?”

“Shut it Gaz” he slammed the door closed and stomped towards his room. After changing into dry clothes his stomach growled. He walked downstairs to rummage through the kitchen fridge. “ZIM WILL CONQUER YOU!” Dib jolts his head up and bumps his head on the ceiling of the fridge. “ZIM!” He follows the voice to the living room.

“GAZ!?” Feeling betrayed as he glares at his sister is lazily watching a show starring Zim in the living room. Zim places an Star-Armada flag down as an explosion takes place in the background. “Ugh. I'm trying to enjoy the show Dib.” After sushes Dib she continues to enjoy the show depicting Zim and his group of alien invaders being given an order to head to earth to conquer it. Dib plops down next to Gaz to watch the show. “ I can't believe he has a tv show that basically tells us how he is an ALIEN! And is going to conquer the Earth!”He frustratingly gestures to the t.v.

Gaz facepalms “ Dib…Zim is not an alien, it's just a gimmick, a persona to sell tickets and merchandise.” You can hear her patience running thin, if Dib keeps being annoying she's gonna pumble him into the ground.”Di-b” she stretches out his name “The internet exists to answer any stupid question you can come up with” he eye twitches “so…if you want to know about Zim, just freaking Whaggle it.”

Knowing his sister will probably beat him if he continues just gestures that he is gonna leave and slowly backs away from Gaz, sprinting up to his room once he reaches a safe distance. He quickly opens his laptop and researches Zim. Dib clicked the first article he could find.The gates of a new world opened for him. He became the personification of a crazy ex-girlfriend who stalked your every social media account. He learned things that even the most hard-core Zim fans might not know. Having access to the Swollen Eyeballs extensive information network may have helped in gathering the more obscure facts concerning Zim.

It wasn't until the rays of light that trickled into Dib’s room burned his eyes, he realized he spent all night researching Zim. “SHIT!” he scrambles to get ready for school, the bus doors were about to close but he managed to squeeze onto it.

He sways down to the end of the bus, a corner that no one wants because for some reason the seat is always soggy. Thankfully his leather trench coat can keep him dry and make sitting there bearable. He leans his head on the window and sticks his earbud in, listening to Zim’s songs. “He may be an evil alien but his music is pretty good.” His eyes feel heavy as the bus sways him to sleep.

“OUCH!” Dib was knocked awake by an annoyed looking Gaz. “You look like shit.”

He rubs his eyes with a single hand “Gez..thanks Gaz” he rubs his shoulder and makes his way off the bus with Gaz, taking the opportunity to share his discoveries.

“Ok. So I know Zim has to be mind controlling people.” Handing Gaz his phone so she can look at his research notes “The way he mind controls varies but it's always there. He is always hinting at it in his music videos, Clippy Videos, and his mini-web series. Case and point, episode 8 of season 2 we know he can permanently mind control a few people using his alien powers but can't really use it on a wide scale for a reason that hasn't been explained“ Dibs hovers over Gaz's shoulder, she shoves Dib back while handing his phone to him.

“Zim is always using something to mind control people. But they always fail at the end. But as we know from his interview with Nyna-Nyan, he is close to perfecting his mind control device.”

“Wow Dib, it only took you a night to become a total Zimmie” she rolls his eyes as they enter the school. “I'm not a Zimmie!” his face turns a deep red “I see you’re just a stalker” making her way to her locker with Dib tailing her. “It's research…to figure out Zim’s evil plans.” Gaz opens her locker and rolls her eyes “Whatever you say Dib.”

Dib didn't want to argue anymore with his sister. He slumps You'll see. Everyone will see!” heads to his locker.

Dib was gathering his books for his class when he overheard some students talking about Keef’s party. Keef is having a birthday party for his hamster? Keef is weird but he usually isn’t this weird. Dib looks at the clocks hanging on the walls.

There’s still time. He slams his locker closed and runs through the hallways looking for Keef. As he ran pass a hallway he caught a glimpse of Keef from the corner of his eye. He quickly double back and slowed his pace.

“So you invited the other lesser dirt-monkeys to your party?” Dib ducked behind a locker when he heard Zim’s voice

“Yes.”Keef nods his head enthusiastically. His eyes dilated, like being in the mere presence in Zim is giving him a high.

“Even the Dib-Stink?”Keef begins to fidgets. “Um..no..I don’t think Dib would like to come.”

“Then give him a reason to come. He needs to be there!” Zim grabbed Keef by the collar. “Zim needs the Dib to be there…”Zim threw Keef away. He started to walk towards Dib’s hiding spot. Dib began to panic. He tried to enter the locker but it was locked, so he scanned the area.

In a single ray of light there stood his only hope. It was a garbage can big enough to hide a human body. Dib opened the lid and was assaulted by the nausting smell of old milk and tuna sandwiches. He pinched his nose and dived in. He sunk deep into the trash as he heard the clicking of Zim’s boots.

✨👾✨

“Eww….no wonder Zim calls him Dib-Stink…”Zita pinched her nose as Dib walked by.

With his back hunched over, Dib furiously made his way towards the cafeteria. Sure he had to deal with his classmates making snide comments about his unpleasant odor but on the bright side he learned this whole birthday party was part of Zim’s nefarious plan to take over the Earth. And now that he knows that he can make preparations and be ready for whatever Zim has planned.

“Hey Dib…” Keef placed his lunch tray down. Dib just continued to play with his mashed potatoes. “Keef.”

“So…I’m having a birthday party for Mr. Whiskers. And you're invited!” he shoves an invite into Dibs face. “Thanks..but I’m not sure if I can make it. I’m gonna be hunting bigfoot and stuff.”

Dib thinking to himself that he gotta play it cool, can't let Keef know I know what he is planning.

“Aw…come on Dib. You can do that stuff whenever. Pulse there's gonna be cake and…umm my uncles going to be there too.” He slides the invite towards Dib. Watching.

“Your uncle?” He takes a sip of his milk.

Yeah the one that was on mystic mysteries…and stuff…um apparently he fought the goo-pire, the goo monster and vampire hybrid.” Dibs spits his milk out. “Your uncle is the Geef Girky Goo-Pire Slayer?!” Keef wipes his face. “Yeah…he slays anything goo related.” Dib grabs the invite “I’ll be there.” Dibs eyes sparkle in excitement. “Kool… I’ll see you there then…I’ve got to go and change…you got milk everywhere.” he looks down at his milk stained shirt. “Ahh…my bad…”Dib gives Keef an apologetic look.

Dib rushes home as soon as school lets out. He makes sure to prepare for Keef’s party. Packing all the essentials.

Alien knock-out handcuffs. Check. X-Ray goggles. Check. Laser pen. Check. And of course one of the most important…Hamster Snacks. Check. This whole birthday party might just be part of an evil plot but it's still rude to go to a birthday party without a present. Dibs slings his bag full of gear over his back and starts to make his way outside.

“Where are you going Dib?” Dib looks over smugly at his sister and slips the invite out of his pocket and waves it around like a victory flag. “Keef’s party. I got invited.” Gaz facepalm at her brother's stupidity. “Ugghh..well if you bothered to read the invite. The party isn't until this Saturday Dib.” Dib stares blankly at Gaz, not really knowing how to respond “Oh….”

In a very nice neighborhood, in a very nice house, j-pop music is being blasted. 5 boys can be seen practicing a dance routine. They maneuver around each swiftly, like fighter jets in an air show. Full of twists and spins that would put the audience on the edge of their seats. Kenny claps as they strike their finishing poses.

“Great work boys!” He roses Zim a cold bottle of juice. “Zim” He opens his arms wide “How do you like school!?” He slings an arm around his shoulder and whispers towards Zim”Is anyone giving any trouble…do I need to step in and…” he drags his thumb across his neck. Zim shoves his hands into Kenny’s face “No need. Zim will use this Dib-thing to test his newest invention”

An energetic and blonde boy jumps at Zim “ZIMMIE!” For a moment Zim is shocked but manages to catch the boy “Shou! Stop these antics!” Shou pouts and whine “but it's…fun…and you always catch” He tilts his head up and gives Zim puppy-eyes “Zim is so…great..and I just love..”he makes a heart with his hands “Zim so….much..” Shou is then pulled off of Zim but a very tall boy with a undercut.

Shou hisses “You're no fun Kazu..you just want Zim all to yourself!” Like a kitten being held by the scruff of his neck, Shou struggles to free himself before giving up.

The shy looking boy pushes his square glasses up “You sure you have it handled Zim?”

“Yes. Yes. Yes. Zim has it all handled.” Zim throws his hands up and leaves the room and heads to his room. He jumps into his chair as it spins towards his computer. “Computer…Any news for Zim?”

“Hmmm…Gir ate a baby today.” Zim causally waves the computer off “Meh..What else..” the computer loads a chat log for an anonymous blogging site

“An Agent-Mothman contacted your sock account Zim-!s-AN-Alien. They are seeking advice in order to expose you. “

Zim scowls “The only person that should be wanting to expose Zim..! is the hoo-man Dib-Stink…..ehh…” he taps his chin in thought “but to be sure…computer…find out the real identity of this Agent-Mothman…” The computer's screen blacks out as bright pink code scrolls on the screen.

“Hacking…searching…more hacking..and…”

DING

A unflattering picture of Dib pops on the computer

“Agent Mothman is Dib Membrane”

Zim slams his fist into his desk “ I Knew it…computer! Reply to Agent-Mothman that I am happy to share any information and help expose the great and mighty..Zim!”

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: Sure. I hate Zim and want to expose him for the evil and mighty alien he is.

Agent-Mothman: I can’t believe people can't see him as what he truly is! I thought there would be more of us online but it looks like Zim or someone got to them

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: So..what can I do to help?

Agent-Mothman: Do you know how Zim mind controls people? From my research he is able to take over people's mind but I'm not too sure how he does…I have some theories but…I can't figure it out ಠ~ಠ

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: I have some theories too but nothing concrete. Let me hear ur theories it might help me out figure out the most credible one

Agent-Mothman: Alright but some of them might be a bit weird

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: Anything to do with alien mind control is a bit weird

Agent-Mothman: True. Alright Theory 1. He is able to mind control people with just mind. Like he looks you in the eyes and ou fall under his spell..but if this was true Im not sure why he hasn't used it on everyone he's meet…there could be a limit to the number of people etc..

“I feel sorry for the Dib stink. He doesn't realize the true might of ZIM! …I'll give the Dib a hint…” Zim egotistically smirks

The computer attempts to talk to Zim “Are u sure about that he might figure it out”

“SILENCE! Zim finds the Dib entertaining and wants him to entertain me some more…”

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: Plausible but not likely. If it were true then his limit has to be very large cause he already has at least a 1000s people under his control that i know of

Agent-Mothman: Really That many already!? (◯Δ◯∥)

Agent-Mothman: I mean sure he has a lot fans but aren't they just fans…sessh..alright theory 2

Agent-Mothman: He places secret hypnotic messages in his songs

Zim looks over at the computer. Computer: ( ￣^￣ )

Zim nervously and tugs on the collar of his shirt and quickly types.

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: NOt plausible!

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: If it were true then why has the earth not been conquered !

Agent-Mothman: Alright my last theory. It might be a bit weird but it might also be the most likely.

Dib feels what rush to his face as he types and retypes his message. Trying to word the message so it doesn't sound like something out of a fanfic.

….

…..

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: Zim can implant mind controlling parasites in ur brain by kissing you.

Zim does a spit take. “I did not ki-ssh the disgusting hoo-man!” Zim angrily types on the keyboard.

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: Wut make u think that

Agent-Mothman: I saw it happen. In my school Zim had like kissed some guy and he was like under his spell after

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: And he wasn't like that before ತ_ತ

Agent-Mothman: Not exactly. But him and Zim are always hanging out in secret and why else would kiss the him

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: U sound jealous

Dib angrily squints at the screen of his computer.

Agent-Mothman: I'm not jealous!

A condescending grin is creeps onto Dib’s face as he typed his message

Agent-Mothman:Keef isn't exactly anyone's type. (￣x￣;)

Zim-!s-AN-Alien:Fine. Ur not jealous. (◔_◔)

Zim scoffs as he finds himself mentally agreeing with Dib. Zim thinks to himself this may be an opportunity to confuse the Dib and have him drop his guard.

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: Maybe the reason he did kiss this Keef is cause the parasite will perish if exposed to air.

Agent-Mothman:Ur a Genius. He probably produces a lot of them but could mix them in the drinks at his concerts.

Agent-Mothman: But why hasn't he released them into our water system or drinking water?

Zim-!s-AN-Alien: Most water systems have a filtration system so may the filters filter the parasites out.

Agent-Mothman: Thanks! Ur really helped me out. Tomorrow I have to go to a birthday party planned by Keef and Zim. I'll be sure to avoid all their food and drinks

Agent-Mothman: I have to go and prepare.
