Nickelodeon’s new Smite crossover is “disrespectful,” says Invader Zim actor Richard Horvitz, who criticized animation studio and developer Hi-Rez Studios for “not having an alliance” with a game collaboration MOBA, which a time Winter couldn’t express. After.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, a platform fighting game, will launch in June. I finally have the soundtrack added for free, including most of the original voice actors from various cartoon icons like Richard Horvitz as Invader Zim. Now, just a month later, Invader Zim is back on Smite and Horwitz isn’t voicing it.
The Smite crossover features the characters Nick Rocko, XJ9 Freya, Danny Phantom, Powdered Toast, and of course Invader Zim. None of these characters appear to be voiced by their original actors, and Richard Horvitz says that’s because Hi-Rez Studios “won’t be looking for an alliance.”
Horwitz adds that Nickelodeon allowed this to happen, “it’s not only offensive, it’s also disrespectful.” He confirms that Zim “isn’t me”.
For memory: @SMITEGame signed a license agreement with @nickelodeon for using Nick’s characters, including Zim. @SMITEGame I wouldn’t go to the union and @nickelodeon It is not only offensive, but also disrespectful. Make no mistake, Winter NOT ME Skin!!!

Here’s the event trailer if you want to know what Invader Zim, which is not owned by Richard Horwitz, looks like.
We’ve reached out to Hi-Rez Studios for comment and will update this post if we hear back.
It’s certainly not the only cartoon crossover Smite has had, as Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have both appeared in the MOBA.
