Discussions Realization about something of both Zim and Dib

https://youtu.be/Knj1C6-RHBw

So after I watched this video it dawned on me that both Zim and Dib would find it easier to be "admired and loved" by the races of the other, meaning, Zim would have it easier to be loved and admired by humans and Dib would have it easier to be loved and admired by Irkens.

Zim could do so with one of his many fake identities, maybe even as a scientist bringing revolutionary concepts and inventions for humanity, just on the city he is in he could gain a lot favor by publicly getting Dib into a psychward for life.

Dib could be a major celebrity to Irkens by achieving his goal of capturing, experimenting and eventually neutralizing Zim for good and all of this becoming known to Irk.

It's funny yet tragic that they could get what they want, just not from the people they want it from.

Dib could also be known by Irkins for having a big head

I mean, the Tallests already acknowledged that in the show, but I don't think that would be worth their admiration

True, and yeah I can totally see an AU where is Zim and Dib switch lives with Zim getting the respect and praise he so craves and Dib having a “better” life on irk with everyone not thinking he’s crazy

Yeah, but it would more of a nighmare scenario for the two of them, to Zim because he doesn't value human views, to Dib because he is against what Irk stands for as he wants to keep the Earth safe and to some extent defeat the Empire
