Zim is the hero because he was misunderstood, as well as mistreated by the Almighty Tallest when all Zim was doing was trying to prove himself.

Dib, on the other hand, despite trying to protect Earth, is actually the main problem as he not only stands in Zim's way, but mocks him and bullies him, another person treating him like an outcast.
