* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Professor Membrane really convinced everything strange is just a hallucination, or is he in deep denial from having his worldview shattered? There's enough evidence in the movie to suggest both, and according to fan theories, a third alternative is whether it's possible that Membrane is feigning disbelief because he's hiding something, typically non-human origin.

** Surprising yet fitting for a movie that is not just a long episode. One of Zim's plans actually works, even if it's stupidly borderline suicidal. The fallout reminds people how much of an actual threat Zim is, beyond being an overdramatic Woobie, and that he's still a homicidal alien maniac bent on enslaving and/or destroying the Earth, that hates all the humans on the planet. By making him the antagonist, it equally makes Dib the clear protagonist by actually defeating Zim and saving the Earth. What would be nothing out of the ordinary in any other movie [[{{Reconstruction}} is absolutely original in this one]].
** The Tallest don't want to change course, even when Earth and the Florpus are in the way. They're not just being stupid- in space, momentum is conserved, so the only things that actually cost fuel are slowing down and changing direction. By continuing straight, they're saving themselves from having to perform the complex maneuver that is a whole fleet changing course on short notice. [[TooDumbToLive Doing so when under immediate threat of Florpus, however]]...
** Why does Clembrane have a stitched-up scar on his forehead? Zim probably had to operate on his brain to install any "programming" that would cause him to believe he was the real Dr. Membrane.
** Professor Membrane’s character design here is noticeably bulkier than his design in the show, especially around the torso. This could be attributed to another major change in his character design - his robot arms. They’re probably much heavier than flesh and bone, so it’s basically like bench pressing all day, every day and built up his chest muscles.
** It seems that Zim has finally learned how stupid people of earth truly are, a lot of his biggest mistakes early in the series came from grossly overestimating human competence and exaggerating measures to that. After several attempts at manipulating the population, it seems he has finally learned that's the most effective way to control the planet.
*** It also explains why Tak was so competent, as she figured immediately how much she could get away with and did it.

** As per the norm with Dib and Zim, who continue to be rather up in each other's space and whose common ground (not receiving respect from Prof. Membrane and The Tallest) becomes a plot point. There's also the moments the two are slightly casual in their interactions (for example, Zim's reaction to seeing Dib at the membracelet celebration is to happily say "Hi, Dib! What are you doing here?") and the moment Zim snaps the Membraclet onto Dib's happily proffered arm, neither of them considering the more natural route of just handing it off.
** It really gets going right from the start, where Dib has not only wasted a few years of his life spying on Zim's house and waiting for him to make a reappearance, but when he and Zim finally reunite and Zim doesn't recognize him in his flabby state, he sounds genuinely hurt as he says "But ''I'm'' Dib! We know each other!" While on Zim's end, there's him doing stretches in preparation for coming face to face with Dib again, and vehemently denying that he set up sprinklers for it like it was a special occasion.
