Seems they rely much more on CGI than they initially told us. Good thing at least the characters are still puppets.

I invoke............TRIAL BY STONE!!!!!!!!!!!

someone posted a cast list of most of the new skeks
who is Bone Mask, the Hunter was it? YOu see him fighting full on quad-wielding in the trailer too

>Seems they rely much more on CGI than they initially told us.
This upset me when the first trailer hit, glad im not the only one rustled by it

i still dont get it, why the dark crystal?

the exec says, ask not what we CAN dig up to milk, but what you CAN'T

Dark Crystal is kind of niche and I would bet considerably more expensive to produce than some of the other nostalgia bait you could aim for.

What would you call an "acceptable" level of cg?

What the fuck kind of name is Age of Resistance?
Star Wars mother fuckers.
Bitches.

For this movie, and concerning the original, NONE.
Anything other than puppets is a bad forgery.
Age of Resistance.
Jesus Christ.

I fucking love behind the scenes for puppetry.

They're doing the thing the Disney Muppets Movies did where they bunraku the fucking shit out of the puppets in front of blue/green screens.

Because the Jim Henson Company doesn't have the Muppets anymore and they've been struggling to find something to step up and fill that void for years. Labyrinth just can't be done without David Bowie, the edgy adult puppets thing Brian was doing never worked, Fraggles keeps having false starts, so Dark Crystal is their only big franchise option. They've been pushing a Dark Crystal Expanded Universe for years now with all those comics and novel tie-ins for this series. Either this series is a success or they're permanently stuck in PBS Kids CGI Show Hell.

while I understand not being in love with using a lot of cgi I'll be okay with it so long as the centerpiece puppets are great

>Age of Resistance
FUCK TRUMP

It looks cool, so I'm gonna watch it.

The fat skeksis even has orange hair!

Isn't the name from the comic from several years ago, based on what we knew of the stories decades ago?

It's a shame, because it could have worked. Sarah has a midlife crisis and finds herself back in the Labyrinth. Only it's changed. Could have been neat, with some of the sets being blurry and bright, like nostalgia for one's youth, and other sets being dark and jagged, representing her fear of growing old.

Why the hell would there be an Age of Resistance when all the Skekskis, or whatever, and all hunchback Slugs, joined into One?
It should have been over at that point.
There were only niner or so of both that recalibrated.
WTF?

All joking aside, it's obviously about resisting the skeksis, and they're all too interesting to be Trump analogues anyway. I warily trust Netflix not to pull that shit this time.

Miniature diorama sets would have been lovely, but we can't pretend that using all cg environments isn't standard for all fantasy these days. It would be no different if they were actors.

>returns after crisis of getting older
Too Narnia for me imo

Because it's happening BEFORE the Conjunction you ninny

So, the story that nobody needed or asked for.
Got it, Faggot.

you can pack up and take that negative nancy attitude back to the swamp, kiddo

>That mmmmmmm at the end

If you had to make a sequel to Labyrinth, it should follow Sarah's story. The original Labyrinth was about Sarah coming to terms with growing up and finding her own way out of childhood. It wasn't even going to end with the party at the end, that was Jim Henson's addition.

It never ends

WHEN I SAY SMOKING, YOU SAY GARBAGE.
>SMOKING!

No one's ever really gone.

Especially geriatric villains.

You absolute tard this is set before the movie, during the time when Geflings were fighting the skeksis

To be fair they pulled this with Labyrinth and greenscreening the Fierys

Wait, so the Urskek split into two races again?

breh
it's a fukken prequel

also I'm pretty sure that DOES happen in one of the comic series

No this is going to be a prequel where the Gelflings get wrecked

Egad.

Can't franchises ever move FORWARD anymore?

Think the Henson company is desperate for a hit

All that fuggin CGI

Why don't they just make a variety show? Something like the Jim Henson hour could actually be made even better today if anyone had any brains. It could be a huge testing ground for things that could be expanded on. Even better is I can totally see all their adult media actually working in a tight net space, rather than being full blown shows and movies.

Have you seen the dark crystal?

The Skeksis are the best part. Watching them win will be a blast.

So if this bombs like everything else that isn't Dinosaur Train, do you think TJHC will turn to porn next?

Yeah, the sequel they were planning on doing with Genndy Tartakovsky got adapted into a comic and it had a really contrived way of bringing the Skeksis back. Like the thrust of the plot is that a girl from Thra's fiery core wants to take a shard of the crystal to heal the inner world of the planet and somehow breaking off a piece splits the UrSkeks and brings them back to Thra.

Maybe if this one makes a billion or something.

How do you even quantify that with Netflix shows?

They've announced a plan to revive The Storyteller with Neil Gaiman as a showrunner, but that's even more niche then Dark Crystal.

This whole situation with the Jim Henson Company is like if George only sold Star Wars and Indy to Disney and just kept Lucasfilm so he could make an assload of Willow and THX spinoffs or something.

I THINK BRIAN HENSON SUCKS

So are we going to see things like young Skeksis punching holes clean through Gelflings?

Even the physically weakest Skeksis was still apparently way the hell stronger than you average Gelfling.

Well, given this scene
Yeah, looks like they're basically named characters in a tactics rpg (which they're making for a tie in, ironically)

Why is that mystic so small compared to Aughra? I always thought they were as big as the skeksis.

Shut up, faggot.

HMMMmmmm...

No one's ever really gone.

>finally something g-
>netflix
At least Tartakovsky has a new one coming

What's causing those explosions?

Final touches, with most of the characters and props being real. Kinda like how they did with Mad Max film where aside from one very obvious CGI scene, everything else just had their colors and some surrounding areas changed somewhat (The ending crash with the trucks was real, but the canyons around them were taken from another shot where the trucks just drive through them)

Its a prequel. They're not dead or merged yet.

Your issue isn't CGI, it's digital compositing done at a televisual standard.

If they weren't hamstrung by the fucking Delgo-tier character design for the gelflings that would be great. No real way to fix it though, people would be pissed if they changed it.

probably mines

GrrrRAAH! No one's ever really gone.

As much as I hated to admit it, the sequel would've been trash regardless if it was a movie or comic. Kinda wish they'd move on from the skeksis mystics shit. Like one of the coolest side stories was in the original comic about the origin of the name Jen coming from a Hercules esque gelfling hero called jarra-jen.

>They've announced a plan to revive The Storyteller with Neil Gaiman as a showrunner

European or Greek myth season?
