Who’s going to be the next Tallest? My guess would be Sizz-Lorr, but knowing Jhonen, it’d be some random Irken we’d never heard of before who’s even worse than Red and Purple. Oh yeah, definitely. Sizz Lorr is actually taller than the Red and Purple, so I don't get why he wasn't the Tallest? My theory is that the Control Brains recognized Sizz Lorr as too capable and went with Red and Purple because they wouldn't interfere with anything, instead choosing to laze around. Is Sizz-Lorr canonically taller? Also, Jhonen mentions that the Tallest would disappear Irkens who threaten their status, so perhaps his assignment to Foodcourtia happened for that very reason...

I looked at reference photos and I used Zim as a point of measurement. Sizz-Lorr is two Zims tall and the Tallests are two and a half Zims tall. That's my bad. Maybe Fry Lord or similar titles are for Irkens that are slightly shorter than the Tallests?

With a good chunk of their military gone, I wonder if some planets may defect from the Irken Empire. Or a rival empire will try to snag some territory.

The Planet Jackers and Meekrob are currently Irk’s greatest rivals. Especially the Planet Jackers. I'm thinking the Planet Jackers were going to end up like Vortians where Irkens eventually betray them. In the episode Planet Jackers, Zim mentions a treaty that the Planet Jackers and Irkens signed saying that the Planet Jackers wouldn't steal planets marked for Irken conquering, implying some sort of coexistence between the two species. However, their tendency to steal and destroy planets gets in the way of the plan mentioned in the Nightmare Begins where Tallest Red says that all races in the universe will serve the Irken Empire, which means that they completely want to take over the universe.

OHOHIHIHOOOHOHOHO Good catch! I didn’t put two and two together. If the Planet Jackers are out of the way, that means more planets for the Irkens to use!
