Everyone says pilot Dib is more aggressive, but he's just drawn that way guys :(
List of pilot Dib's crimes:
- pressuring Zim to eat food that he's allergic to
- making a launcher gun
- blowing up the skool cafeteria
List of Show Dib's crimes:
- threats to autopsy Zim
- blatant breaking and entering
- stalking
- repeatedly pouring water which acts like acid on Zim even after coming to the conclusion it harms Zim or at the very least "causes him extreme discomfort" and Zim begging to know why he'd do that
- summons a demon to steal zim's soul
-vhas a photo of Zim getting changed in the bathroom
- has broken Zim's spine
- debates leaving his classmates to die
- escape from the insane asylum
- has traumatized Zim into thinking humans will rip him open and eat him
-draws semi realistic gore of Zim getting vivisected
- has backstabbed Zim when he'd already agreed to help Dib
And probably more but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
I'm just saying pilot Dib is much more of a sweetheart
Imagine Dib getting into a fight with Zim. He knocks him against a mirror and cracks the glass. He’s so angry he wants to strangle him to death. But then he catches a glimpse of his own reflection, and the crack in the mirror is making it look like his cowlick is split in two. Making him look like Zib.
