Pretty great so far. It deserves more threads.

I just watched first two episode, like it a lot.

Sadly noone seems to be watching at all so it will get cancelled soon.

It's the little things that warm your heart.

Any out of place liberal pandering or does the story feel genuine? Anything with “resistance” in it sends up a red flag after nuStar Wars

It sticks to the source material mostly. Do you remember the original movie having lib pandering?

So it’s more of a retelling? That’s not bad. I was worried it was continuing the story the same way Star Wars did where they won but not really.

Guess I’ll have to check it out eventually. Thanks.

Not a retelling, a prequel. Still great though.

That’s good too. Got a friend who will probably download it and I’ll get it from him.

should I rewatch dark crystal before starting this or should I jump on in?

Watch this first, then The Dark Crystal.

You can if you want to, but you don't need to. If you remember enough of the film you'll be just fine, but it's not required viewing to go into this. Although if you haven't watched it already, you probably should just because it's a good movie.

nah, I've seen dark crystal like three times this year.

YIKES, this show bombed hard.

Only halfway through episode 5 but so far it's extremely solid, every single scene is fucking gorgeous and is a testament to fact practical effects are still viable in this modern day, hell the CGI too shows that when you blend them in for when each part is right you can get some truly amazing scenes.

I’m am extremely impressed with what they’ve done to bring Thra to life. When it works, gets their stride right I mean - and it frequently does, it doesn’t look like puppetry, CGI or costumes. It looks real. Or maybe that’s just my 5 year old brick of a television talking.
*Spoilers*
I'm honestly really liking the Skeksis as villains here, you definitely have more reasonable ones like the Chamberlain who urges for moderation on sacrificing the Gelflings and can throw up at least a basic defense of his actions when confronted by Rian as compared to the general who just wants to kill em all, to ones that are at least capable of showing some decency like Scroll Keeper finding a kindred spirit in Brea's love of books and the Ritual-Master being displeased with General's lack of social grace as he eats the symbol of one of the Gelfling clans in their faces.

MEGA when?

Tomorrow maybe

Netflix made the brilliant decision to spend massive sums of money on its production but absolutely jackshit on any substantive promotion. Not to mention the show's too niche for the mainstream audiences anyway.
At least we have it at all.

If Netflix had just fucking advertised it, maybe it would receive more threads.

I'm making myself lunch and getting donuts first before I binge the whole damn thing. But I just got done watching the movie again. I started to cry when they got to the Gelfling ruins.

Can we all agree that besides the skeksis the podlings are the best creatures, theyre just so cute

I tried watching the movie but the main character bored me to tears. Also the pacing felt really off.

It's Friday afternoon and the show only just dropped late last night. Plus it's the start of a long weekend and the end of summer, a lot of people are going out this weekend, not staying home to watch Netflix

Scientist did nothing wrong. Also im on the first episode but had to lay down because my head hurts though im enjoying it so far, when does the hunter skeksis come in?

hope so, for once netflix didnt fuck up a show.

On episode 4 now, didnt show up yet

That, they are

I'll probably spend my Saturday or Monday marathoning the whole shebang.
I assume good rips will be on the ready then.

Yeah, the original was basically pure eye candy plus the Skekses being fun. I've only seen the first episode of this but they seem to do a WAY better job of having real characters.

Im gonna get the action figure of him because hes so cool looking, also going to get the silk spitter and the podling character because i like them so much

Yeah, the movie's protagonists are dull as can be. Like you said, it was eye candy, the scenes which were legit fun beyond being impressed at the aesthetic were the Skeksies being evil.

On my end just watched Ep 1, it's great so far

Damn, I hadn't even realized it was Pegg.

Just finished, can confirm.
That was one of the best shows I've watched in a long fucking time. The technical mastery is insane, the music was fantastic, the writing was engaging, and both the actors and their puppeteers did a wonderful job bringing their characters to life. Seriously hoping word of mouth can give the show a S2, it deserves it.

The Skesis are still the best part.

Gelflings win at the end, though.

Haven't watched the original in years, like 20, I think I was 10 last time I watched it. Worth a peak if I can't remember nothing from the movie?

Yes, definitely.

He needed more screen time, the hype was short lived

Eh, I think he left his mark with what time he was present.
That's not even mentioning one particularly grotesque scene the Skeksis do with him that's DEFINITELY gonna spook the shit out of some kids for life.

>Any out of place liberal pandering
That's not something that impact a story negatively. It''s intrinsically neutral to the impact of the story.

Also, Deet has two dads and in no way does it negatively impact the story.

Yeah nevermind just seen he escapes the shroom eaters

This is basically "Genocide-the show".

Netflix is still a garbage company whom I despise
But I'm happy The Dark Crystal series ended up being good.

Hopefully this means the lesser known Henson products can have a chance to come back, I'd personally love it if The Storyteller came back in some way or form.

>Any out of place liberal pandering
The characters that rules absolutely over the Gelfing and want to exterminate their race as portrayed as villain and evil fascist dictators.

That's considered controversial and pandering to the left, nowadays, I guess.

Storyteller reboot's already in early development with Neil Gaiman as showrunner.

Fingers crossed for a continuation of Farscape.

Wait? They do'nt warp up all with Season 1? It hought they would set up things so that the movie would serve as its second sequel.

Does it really need 2 season to kill all of the Gelfling?

So, Deet will be the mother of Kira and Bea and Rian will be the parents of Jen.

Doesn’t this take place thousands of trine before the movie?

Pretty sure user was just making shit up, but you never know since Deet got Norted

That'd be nice but way past the point where I'd consider it feasible. Maybe if they did a Next Generation deal.

The original movie states it was only a thousand years since the coming of the Skeksis so anytime within a thousand years.

>it will get cancelled soon.
Its just a 10 ep miniseries, its a prequel to the movie negative user.

I'm so sick of edgy adult Muppets.

Are there really so many out there that you’ve gotten sick of them? It seems like a niche that’d be really easy to ignore.

Do you honestly enjoy this? I am not.
I think all is carefully crafted and the direction art is superb. But there is a dissonance between the cutesy Gelfling and the creepy feeling of the Skeksis and... well almost evey else, caused on me this anxious feeling that everything will go to shit at any moment.

Have this (You) and never come back

Thats part of the joy. Skeksis are the true heroes of the show and fan favorites for a reason.

The series felt like the original 80s movie, guess you're on your 20s or younger.

funny how on the behind the scenes extra they said they wanted to respect younger watchers making it dark as the original.

That's the fucking point
What's wrong with scaring the shit out of kids nowadays like kids films used to? I'm more than glad the series kept the creepiness.

The show is called DARK crystal. Not HAPPINESS AND SUNSHINE crystal.

Attached: v1.jpg (300x300, 16K)

Funny how in my country the movie was called "The Enchanted Crystal". I guess for some reason "Enchanted" was a default replacement for "Dark" in kids' movie titles at the time or whatever.

user's just fucking pathetic, can't even handle a goddamn puppet show.

god forbid we watch something that isn't 100% lighthearted just in case we get called the E word

With the type of shite cartoons out now, I don't know why I'm suprised some fags here can't handle it. Seems par for the course with all the pacified shit on today.

you trying to deny a black man a job? racist

>Has anyone here watched it yet?
I gave up after about 5 min of the first episode. HOLY EXPOSITION DUMP, BATMAN!

Play the role you know

I'm watching the intro and I'm blown the fuck away. Its like GoT but, actual fucking fantasy.

I guess you skipped Batman, PPG and Samurai Jack too because of their intros.

Never watch the original movie, then, user. It has multiple opening monologues. One for the world, one for the Skeksis, one for the Mystics, and one for Jen. Each one following the same basic pattern.

>Ep 3, servant race villagers pick shit from the ground and eat it.

It's also out the same day as Carnival Row:
youtube.com/watch?v=369LHB9N-Ro

The Gelflings of Uncanny Valley never really had a chance, senpai.

For some reason, some pre-release summaries from a few weeks ago were only claiming a 50 year gap, though that feels way too short.

This. Nothing gave me nightmares like good 'ol animatronic puppetry. This movie nad the labyrinth had me horrified but I couldn't look away. For some reason, those cheery orange guys fucking terrified me and made me extremely uncomfortable and I think that scene was supposed to be funny and bright. Something about the scene made me feel like she fell "out of bounds" like in a video game and the story was never meant to go there. Like the million hands in the darkness was scary to me then, but I had to activly leave the fucking room for those orange fuckers. As a kid I felt like they were about to rape her before I understood what rape or sex meant.

Fixing to start soon if I can figure out this netflix shit
Did they explain the thing were were wondering about whether the General and the Garthim master are two separate skeksis or the same guy?

He was probably thinking more along the lines of how it tells instead of shows the dynamics of the world, but at the same time if user is familiar with the property he should realize that was on purpose. Dark Crystal, after all, is framed as a fairytale which the style of the opening is meant to convey.

Aren’t they the same guy? I always thought they were the same Skeksis

No. From listening to the opening they're nearing the 1000 years since their arrival. This would put the Age of Resistance on the foothold to the movie, which frankly makes the most sense. Jen and Kira were both victims of the Garthim Wars and this is leading up to Gelfling extinction.

That's what I'm asking
But the promo material showed a "General" that had a somewhat different appearance than the guy we see in the movie
Also the comics, were they? Introduced a separate Skeksis as the General named SkekVar, different from SkekUng

uhhh...

All of the media surrounding it has millions of reactions, I dunno user maybe the universe isn't as black as we think it is.

Not exactly, but you're VERY close.

Remember the first film was not actually a flop. It barely broke even but it did, the movie paid for itself. And it was during the same year movies like E.T and The Thing came out.

This time they've been hyped for over a year on Netflix, and they have virtually no competition in the genre whatsoever.

You sure? I've seen more people hyped for this than Enter the Florpus.

Reactions mean jack shit. We're in the age of clickbait, fake emotions and real apathy.

I'm almost afraid to finish this because I'm a few episodes in and its just so damn good, this is some of the best fantasy I've seen in a long time, the sets, the colors, the designs, the world itself just oozes with life and the story while straightforwards is very well told. Everyone is great in this, the voice acting, the expressions, everything is just so god damn good. I'm legit terrified its going to shit the bed at the end but I can't stop watching.

Here's hoping this keeps this level of quality all the way through and finally becomes the followup to do justice to the original that's been so long coming.

Shocker, Scientist is probably my favorite as of the first episode. His much more vigorous voice in this time-point makes him stand out a great deal more and makes his mannerisms more interesting
Chamberlain really showing off just how devious his ass is is also fantastic

The Heretic’s puppet show/play was great, was not expecting it.

No reason not to, the original is also on netflix.

It probably isn't necessary, but it will give a little more backstory to some of the characters that you'll see.

Andy Samberg legit sounded like a lifelong Henson company vet, I was genuinely impressed. He should do more VA work.

This is one of the few occasions where Yea Forums enjoys something from Netflix.

I liked the little touches of the puppet show, if you notice you can hear some snippets of yodas speeches from the empire strikes back.

This and Devilman Crybaby were both manna from Netflix for a 80's kid like me.

BASED

Should i watch the movie first? Or should i start with the prequel

Because its not spelled out, so its open to interpret in any way they like. That's the glory of a story with lack of hamhanded attempts at referencing real life politics, you actually get to think about the world and apply it to our own without being told what to think. This guy saw "___ is draining the "Life" of the planet and its got a great "Sickness" thats causing the animals to become savage and the world to begin to fall apart" and came up with "Climate change", some other guy could see it as the wealthy elite stealing from the lower class for everything and selfishly prolonging their lives with means that cause death for everyone else, or even just plain old don't see anything at all and enjoy the kickass world with kickass music and loving detail around a relateable story of three unlikely protagonists coming together to save their world.

No Skesis telling crows that the Rian's screaming fake news, no hidden subplot about a bear in a frozen landscape secretly controlling the emperor who's a giant moron, no Gelfing calling for Gelfxit, just good old fashioned universally accessible and well put together fantasy that's open for interpretation depending on the era but regardless is still just a good story besides. This is how you do politics in fantasy and damn is it good. I'm going to rewatch it again, I need to see the Hunter one more time.

THANK YOU.

This is why people complain about politics being shoved down our throat, at no point did this series stop to cry about current year or bullshit like that but its still a story filled with politics, nuance and actual fucking characters. The politics never made it so that the movie had to avoid certain actions so as not to seem 'on the wrong side', it never had to stop to tell us how the director or writer felt about the whole thing, we just got some good and beautiful world that yeah, you can say its about Climate Change. I see it, it could go that way, but so what? Its not like they shoehorned it into the original, this didn't suddenly become about the Dark Crystal being corrupted by greed out of nowhere, it would have been weirder if it wasn't about that.

Watching this, its really obvious what was first and foremost on everyone's mind was the world, the characters, and the story and not trying to make the audience listen to their speech.

This is so damn refreshing and I'm going to shill the fuck out of this to everyone I know because its worth it.

Why does draining not turn you into a mindless slave anymore? Victims just pop out of existence now.

Not to mention Dark Crystal is one of those shows with villains you love to hate and are ironically more iconic to the franchise than the heroes.

While our good ol' Top Skeks are undoubtedly still the best part, I was waaaaaaaay more invested in the Gelflings this time around compared to the film. I think they fleshed out their world and society really well and the main crew is pretty fun to follow. Not to mention they have a lot more character depth than they used to.
Get in the fucking draining chair pastafaggot

Podlings aren't as connected to Thra so the draining only takes some off the top. That or the Skeksis learned to ration out the good shit because they killed off all the gelflings so they can't get the liquid cocaine levels of essence anymore.

Back in the old days it was suck em off till there was nothing left because they could always just grab more of the fuckers. It was basically like picking apples in an orchard.

I'm kind of sad that Skek'Ung didn't get a dynamic entry where he shat on the other skeksis for their incompetence and yelled autistically about his deadly garthim.

He's the general He'll get that chance in season 2

Is the tie-in tactics game out yet? Is it any good?

And none of the villains got transformed into caricatures of today's politicians. They're this own specific brand of shitheel that makes them such a treat to watch and never feels like someones venting that they didn't win.

I'VE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT
CHAMBERLAIN'S A BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKER WHO STOLE MY FUCKING EYE

Attached: Skektek.jpg (1847x1440, 314K)

Haven't started the series yet, so did the Mystic opposite of him end up losing his eye then?

Ehhh, hilda and Bojack maybe, but Final Space season 2 is getting shit on hard and Castlevania is hit or miss because the writing really was just plain shit. Last couple threads we had on it mostly consisted of dumping on the really bad second season. Season 1 doesn't seem disliked though.

His counterpart doesn't show up in the show, but yeah he probably lost it.

God that would suck being bound to experience the physical pain of a race of backstabbing torturers.

>just chilling singing mystic songs
>suddenly eye gets pulled out of your socket

too say nothing of that one in the movie who just spontaneously combusts after his opposite falls into the lava.

>Final Space,
That ain't Netflix in burgerland

>MY EYE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER
I was hoping that he'd turn around to show that he'd removed other body parts and done those other modifications we see in the movie of his own volition right then and there

The last two Gelflings won, many many years after their civilization fell and their culture was destroyed. And I don't think uniting the skeksis with the mystics counts as wining.

That was the same guy by the way.

At the episode right now where Chamberlain summons the Hunter. Enjoying it so far.

So maybe it's just trend paranoia, but is the green Gelfling going to end up being lesbians with the white-haired Gelfling? I mean, they haven't even met or anything but I get this creeping feeling in my gut that makes me a little worried.

Episode 3 begins with a hygienic ethnic cleansing carried out by the Gelflings against the Podlings.

Nope, they're setting up something with Deet and Rian. They even explicitly state as such in the documentary.
Which by the way, to all of you who have finished the series, you should check it out. Lotta neat shit in it, the work put into the show is extraordinary and you get to see a LOT of bts footage.

The other gelfling girl in the service group was kinda cute

Tavra's the lesbian of the three princess sisters. Has a thing with Onica.

Ends up stuck in the body of a spider in the books paralleling the show's storyline.

Something that caught me by surprise was the Skeksis having feathers, It makes sense that they looks better at their prime, but somehow I always pictured them decadent.

>the emperor pulling off his decaying fingertip at dinner
Funny how even now he's effectively the most sickly of them all. Also General bitch slapping Chamberlain was great

You finished the series yet? Because there's a big reason for that.

>Chamberlain is a conniving motherfucker. Even times when he royally fucks over the other Skeksis, he still tries to paint himself in the right.
This is why the Chamberlain is actually the main villain of the entire series. His entire existence is to lie and convince people it is the truth, which goes directly in opposition of the Crystal of Truth which serves as the life of the world. The Chamberlain was even the one who came up with the idea of stealing essence in the first place

Nah, kinda noting these things as I go along
The Hunter is indeed very bitchin so far

>starting rewatch
>"I did not build an empire only to watch it turn to dust"
>remember "I WILL NEVER BE DUST"
woah

I want to drink Deet's gamer girl essence

I wonder if they could actually be immortal if they just lived a healthier lifestyle.

>accidentallys all of thra

Probably not. If anything the Hunter proved while he could be fit as fuck his archer half could still grow old.

If the mystic goes so does the Skeksis. It's what makes their essence draining all the more horrific. No matter how much they drain when their mystic half goes, they go, and they have no control over it.

You're a giant fag

That still probably extended his life by quite a lot. The Hunter is truly a /fit/ icon.

Yeah the whole point is that TRYING to live forever was pointless and in fact counterproductive. First taking energy from the Dark Crystal, then stealing essence. Probably nothing could stave off death forever but living in balance with Thra would have probably let them live out considerable lifespans without their evil ways decaying their bodies and minds

I got confused, I thought this guys got the Dark Crystal and later separated into the two races.

I understand your concern, but watching the first episode and it was great. I wouldn't worry. It's a story about good people fighting evil, not about [modern demographic / political faction writers think are the "good guys"] defeating [modern demographic / political faction the writers think are the "bad guys"]

The most twisted thing? The Hunter was probably the most in balance with Thra save for the heretic.

He was a beast, a monster of the highest order, but he made no pretensions of what he was. He was the apex predator and he made damn sure you knew that, but he never took more than he could kill, never tried to rule.

Are you retarded? Have you fallen for goblin propaganda?
It's pretty obvious when people are evil.

I liked when Deet autistically screeched to rescue Hup

The way they're speaking of the Arathim here in early episode 5 is interesting. Almost like they're intelligent
Ritual Master just exasperatedly saying >"nigga can u not" when the General goes to eat another cocoon gave me a good laugh

I love how all the Skeksis are oddly defensive and autistic about their hobbies. Like the Scientist and his pet thing he loves and the Ritual Master, despite being a dick like the rest of the Skeksis, still holding reverence for his enemies' tradition like in that scene. I imagine he was just like "Come on man, I studied this kind of shit to do the fun shit I do back home. Show some respect tard."

It's pretty impressive how they made the Skeksis comedic and can even somewhat understand why the Gefling would trust them, but never sacrifice how truly repulsive and morally soulless they are.

>We're not your pets
>false

How the FUCK is Chamberlain so fucking good? this whole carriage ride conversation where he's schooling Rian's ass on life and death is amazing

Bastard is basically a competent version of Starscream

Chamberlain is the schemiest fuck of all scheming fuckers.

>All gelfling lose, or few gelfling lose all! War is end!
His weird ass semi-broken speech pattern just makes the shit he says all the better somehow. It really makes you feel like you're on a lesser footing arguing against a zombie bird creature almost as old as the world itself. And he seems genuinely frustrated that Rian doesn't take to the callous but efficient logic of sacrifice a few for the sake of the many, considering he really IS the one Skeksis besides maybe skekTek that has spoken out for not just wiping out the whole species. Even if he's just thinking ahead about the possibility of running out of essence

Mostly no. A single instance where right off the bat two guard had a racist and the girl won cause she had wings. Other then that no.. fuck people criticizing you for this question they are lefties. The show itself feels like a prequel to the actual movie.

This is a prequel jump right in same aesthetic nothing from dark crystal needed however.

skekSil and skekTek ideally should have controlled the narrative better if they wanted to get away with the essence draining shtick for a while. But with how immediate tard mode the rest went with the essence and the Emperor trying to control the Darkening, it was damn near impossible.

The problem was essence is basically liquid cocaine wrapped in blowjobs mixed with lsd with a side of curly fries and a tit fuck right after.

None of them could think straight beyond "I need another hit, a stronger hit, and to hell with the consequences."

I liked how the Scroll Keeper took to Brea well over their love of books. I mean yeah, he still hated her guts for sure like they did for all Gelfling, but he probably was just pleasantly surprised over something so quaint.

Yeah, even Chamberlain himself was sneaking into Scientist's lab to steal his shit because he couldn't help himself
The scene where he drinks Mira's essence in front of Rian felt right at home in an NTR hentai

Iirc his broken speech pattern is a thing in the movie because the Skeksis originally spoke their own language, which then got dubbed over with English dialogue after filming when they changed their mind about the language at the last minute. Chamberlain's talk with the two Gelflings in the ruins was originally the only scene in the film where a Skeksis speaks the Gelfling language that the audience hears as English, and his command of the language is rusty. After they dropped the idea for a unique Skeksis language they kept the Chamberlain's dialogue, which resulted in him talking like a retard for seemingly no reason. You see this with all Skeksis dialogue to a limited extent in the movie, because their language was guttural and had fewer words, so the English dialogue that dubbed over it had to be clipped to fit the mouth movements.

Just finished. Can't believe how legitimately good this was. Genuinely one of the better fantasy series I've watched in years. Pegg should get an award for his performance, it was fucking brilliant.

The only downside is that any potential season 2 is probably going to take years because of how complicated the technical side of everything is. I really hope we'll get to see some big battles with the Garthim.

the original movie was pretty trash, a hollow tired story with no meat in it, how is this better than the predictable ugly mess that was the OG dark crystal?

Insane to believe Keegan-Michael Key's the Ritual Master. I couldn't tell at all since his voice sounded so drastically different from his typical roles.

Well, you were right to be scared. They just happily decide to rip her head off out of fucking nowhere.

You have zero taste in aesthetics and should be barred from posting.

where did I mention aesthetics?

>Episode 6
>That scene where the Skeksis gleefully slaughter Gelfling soldiers after the heroes sing a song mourning
>"Oh I hope you taste better than you fight"as he drags a gelfing begging for mercy

Jesus, this is going to cause some childhood trauma

And I couldn't be happier. More kid's shows should have fangs

... what do you think "aesthetics" are?

where did I mention the visuals smooth brain?

Are the tongues on the skeksis CGI or puppetry? They're super hard to not look at and I can't quite tell

Some kid is definitely gonna have nightmares over the Skeksis dolling up the Hunter's corpse and hanging him up in a weird mechanism. And then the Hunter waking up in said mechanism

TRIAL BY air?
this should be interesting

Just about goddamn everything involving the Skeksis is going to send kids crying out of the room

It's kinda comforting to know a new generation will shit themselves to this like so many did with the original

You know a movie can have more things to appreciate than just the basic story right? Yeah, the story in the original movie is a little worn out. We've all seen the "chosen one has to save the world from darkness" plot plenty of times. But the world of the Dark Crystal is wholly unique and unlike anything before or since. I mean the villains are ancient, nigh immortal, four armed, half mummified, bird wizard scientists spawned from the calamitous division of their former near godly and all knowing alien selves. The setting is unique, immaculately detailed, filled to the brim with dark and beautiful lore. Not to mention the actual physical puppets, both unsettling, beautiful and lovingly crafted down to the last detail. Yeah the plot is a little tired, but pretty much everything else is so stellar that it more than makes up for that.

Also to answer your question, since this series is a prequel and we all know how it ends the story still managed to keep me well interested and fully engaged. But if you have no interest in the visuals, or the lore, or the master craft behind the puppets themselves then you should probably give this one a pass, you pleb.

I kinda wonder how stuff would have panned out if the Skeksis never found out how to extract essence.
Maybe the two would have hit it off as the book autists they are.

>hunter laughs at them all dying while he lives on for the the hunt

>Any out of place liberal pandering or does the story feel genuine?

Pretty genuine. The situation really doesn't correlate to the real world or if it does it can be argued the opposite of any point:
>The central government runs on lies and trying rule the world despite their bodies failing! clearly this is [Trump/late stage capitalism/ democrats/ republicans/ late stage socialism]
>The darkening represents [climate change/ lack of EPA enforcement/ Soc Media/The girl that gets my name wrong at Starbucks]!
>The tithing scene represents [communism/capitalism that I don't like] and her giving back to the farmers represents [communism/capitalism that I like]

>Hunter meets up with the Archer
>they learn from each other and live the /fitlit/ lifestyle for the rest of their days

>But the world of the Dark Crystal is wholly unique and unlike anything before or since

it isn't, at all, it's a basic dichotomy of two halves become greater than the sum of their parts when reunited, with a sprinkling of a relic keeper here and a love interest there it isn't even remotely original or fantastic.

your argument boils down to nothing more than it looked cool so it's good, this is the same stupid argument people use for justifying shitty video games as being good.

It is lore poor, there was more lore in mars needs moms than Dark Crystal. The only lore in Dark Crystal is a dead race that made cave drawings of a prophecy and a super race that split in half, that's it there's nothing more to it than that.

The birds are wholly incompetent in the movie, they display no abilities and no power it is merely stated that they are unnatural wizards. They control some crab monsters and there's one tinkerer extracts essence squeezins this is bad story telling.

Their other half is even worse, they do absolutely nothing but walk in a straight line and then show up right when the plot needs them to show up.

Drilling oil-essence, causing CO2-darkening emission that is slowly but surely destroying the biodome, all for the benefit of some oligarch-Skeksises.

Are there any from the original cast that came back for the series.

For many, that it simply appear in a show means it's out of place.

>No Skesis telling crows that the Rian's screaming fake news,
Well, actually they do. They simply use words that fit the setting.

Don't they literally want to break apart from the Skeksis's reign. More like Skexit.

Will the grotten want independence from the rest of teh gelfngs?

That stuff was literally set in the first movie. Also, do you really think that "evil magic that corrupt nature when abused" is not a common fantasy theme?

I mean fuck, even when we go to the basic, many people equate J.R.R Tolkien's ring in lord of the Ring with progress and Mordor with industrialisation.

evil people destroying nature has always been part of the the fantasy setting.

I'm only a few issues in, but I was told feet had 2 dad's, is this mentioned or is it assumed the dad and uncle we see when deet wakes up were gay lovers?

It does though. It get rid of the Skeksises.

>So maybe it's just trend paranoia, but is the green Gelfling going to end up being lesbians with the white-haired Gelfling?
You need to go back. Dreading something like that happens is non-sensical. Also, you might have missed it, but Deet actually has two dads.

I almost consider it's better to watch Age of resistance first and then the movie because then the ending actually make sense without needing to google everything.

Oh she mentions it outright later on
But it's never given any focus

>fuck people criticizing you for this question they are lefties.
No, this is a stupid question. Because people who worry about that will consider any slightly left-leaning display as out of place.

>The show itself feels like a prequel to the actual movie.
Well, maybe that's because that's what it is.

Fair enough. Not that it will stop my enjoyment. Hell Flintstones is one of my favourite comics of the 10s and it has some pandering. Like Fred's 2 old tribe guys wanting to marry.

>and the girl won cause she had wings. O
She won because she disguised as a monster and scarred the fuck out of them.

>The only downside is that any potential season 2 is probably going to take years because of how complicated the technical side of everything is.
Doesn't those kind of production already has season 2 started by the time they finish editing season 1?

>deet absorbing the darkening into herself
oh that's not good

If only "he" was there to actually say it.

They're cg, and they would have been better if they were less active, because they're basically going ham every time they open their mouths.

If you really squint your eyes, you can compare the Vapra refusing to unite with the other Gelfling to fight the Skeksis because they think they are beneficial with the UK refusing to unit with the EU to counter-balance massive corporations because they think global corporations and free market is actually good and beneficial. But that's really stretching it.

I am halfway through the second episode and am having trouble following the plot because I can't tell any of the female gelflings apart.
I thought the girlfriend of the dude, the girl that got turned to essence, the one always reading and saw the vision and the one exiled out of the tree were all the same one or two people.

Ia am not sure of Gamer-Skeksis water is the best water to clean your eye.

>I thought the girlfriend of the dude
She ded you do'nt need to tell her apart from the rest anymore.

She is only hard to look apart from her oldest sister and their personalities are so different it's not really an issue.

Fuck off, retard

Fuck, you people are ridiculous. You ARE the bad guys. Fuck off.

I thought that too. Maybe they were from inside the crystal or maybe the crystal split before Augra found it or was even born?

Ted Nugent was right this whole time, wango tango baby!

That's the actual backstory they give.
No, the puppet show, remember? They got splitted on Thra, and the Crystal lost a shard in the process.

Nothing wrong with that. Waiting for the Chernobyl dvd/blu-ray box myself.

Cringe.

Scientist is their medic, can't risk him dying.

He's right tho, he don't get no damn respect for all the shit he does keeping the skeksis alive

Thats because despite him being a bird version of Joseph Mengele, he commands no strength or charisma needed to be feared by the rest of the Skeksis. He's ironically simply too stupid to realize he's the single most important member of the entire group and lets himself get bullied around by birds stronger than him.

Then again Skeksis aren't known for planning ahead long term so they actually might just kill him in rage, then regret it later.

I can't believe it never crossed my mind that the dual glaive, clear red herring that it was, would hold the Crystal's shard inside despite how goddamn obvious it should have been

As I think almost anyone predicted or has already said, Chamberlain is magnificent almost any time he's around. The real miracle is making me not absolutely bored to death watching the Gelfling characters. So props to the crew

Cult movir begets a cult series. I'm okay with that except that I might be retirement age before another movie or series is made.

Although there is an enviromental message, this is mostly just twisting media to segway into a popular gripe point in the media.

Maybe rightist goblins should actually give a fuck.

Its just elves being elves. Gelflings are basically an elf raping a gerbil and you get a new race. They're so holier-than-thou and lovey dovey muffins, they bleed pink.

Filthy dirty Podlings can’t even clean themselves and roll around in the dirt.

Then why do you act like such retards? You goblins did this to yourselves.

Yes they are, they're elves. Uppity elves who categorize each other as higher or lowlier elves.

I hope Louis Leterrier comes back to direct for S2 if that gets made. A big part of why this turned out so well was his insane love for the original film and putting that same passion in his work on the series. The madlad directed all 10 episodes.

Shut up, goblin

>who categorize each other as higher or lowlier
That's not an attitude exclusive it elves.And from what we have seen, most do'nt act holier-than-you. Fuck, at the start, they all deems themselves inferior to Skeksis.

Dude that opening sequence of the one Podlings just waking up and getting ready to dust the planetarium was just so well done

So much for that plan.

The guy they get to voice him is going to have to do at least as good of a job as Pegg.

I never saw the original or know shit about it, can I still enjoy this or do I need to see the original first?

This is a prequel, so you can watch it in either order.

Aughra has the same actress

You can watch resistance first. Actually make some part of the movie clearer to understand. though you'll have to wait till season 2 comes out before you get the full prequel.

Ok. I'm hungover like a bitch and it looks comfy enough to watch. Bless you all

Big shoes to fill. It'll be hard to top "I AM EMPEROR!"

2 eps in. So apparently they retconed the split between the Skeksis and the... um, Yang to happening before they arrived.

I'm kinda getting tired of prequels like this. You know the fucked up way it's going to end, like Tron Uprising, only potentially worse, since they at least had to have more than 2 goodguys survive, + most of the hateful villains in the Tron sequels wind up punished, too.

What's this? Looks cheap

> So apparently they retconed the split between the Skeksis and the... um, Yang to happening before they arrived
No they didn't?

>So apparently they retconed the split between the Skeksis and the... um, Yang to happening before they arrived.
They didn't. the series go very meta at some point and it explicitly says that the split happened on Thra.

>I'm kinda getting tired of prequels like this.
Pay better attention before getting into rants like this. The people who wrote resistance know the lore like the back of their hand.

It definitely isn't. It's Dark Crystal Age of Resistance, go see it on Netflix.

Man the skeksis really remind me of certain people...

speedwatcher detected

Who will it be?

MmmmMmmm?

The movie is only necessary for not being disappointed in expecting anyone but most of the Skeksis and Aughra to survive.

Unintentionally, kinda

I don't think they came up with the idea specifically but it is about the people is power slowly poisoning the world and killing the people in it.

This and Thunderbolt Fantasy have been really making me want more puppet kino.

Well they essentially said that in the beginning narration, so they change it back later? Ok.

>Pay better attention before getting into rants like this. The people who wrote resistance know the lore like the back of their hand.

Not sure how that argues with what I said, at all...

is that kinda fey\abduction aliens careless amoral evil for funsies vibe

>Running out of shit to watch and going insane with boredom is A GOOD thing!

>Well they essentially said that in the beginning narration
They are intentionally vague, but they never said the split happened before. They don't change it back.

Pretty good. The skeksis are my favourite characters.

I want more podlings, too.

They Said the Skeksis arrived.

It's about preventing genocide so you wouldn't like it.

How'd that go between Chamberlain and the 1 he was annoying with that again?

The stuff against taxes and leaders' power with them was actually more anti-Communism.

Beautiful.

They actually said creature from an other world arrived, then they said the Skeksis, but it doesn't remove the possibility there might be more to it.

I mean, the split-thing is supposed to come out later as a revelation.

The General was also kind of well-preserved. Their specialties kind of required it. I think it comes down to lifestyle.

Would make more sense if the regular schmoes were using essence themselves and the Scientists and a few other skeksis (academics, engineers, green politicians and alternative energy tycoons) were leading the push against it.

Also how does the mother-earth-personna of Aughra entrusting the planet to the skeksis fit into that motif?

This guy should take the dual glaive.

Yo, was that Frank Oz as Lore?

It's Andy Samberg
I'm not kidding

Not as cool as Frank Oz but still cool.

>that sudden podling NTR bait
The show is great but that was not necessary

Well yeah, Frank Oz is a goat. But the fact that fucking Andy Samberg of all people can come close to matching his voiceover prowess is super impressive. I think his performance in this show is being slept on a little.

Again, why is it a big deal? I am not much into voice-acting trivia, so I am not sure what's all about.

Frank Oz voiced Yoda, I believe

Yea Forums anons?

I'm sorry

Poor Heretic. Went crazy having to deal with his slug of other halfness.

Don't be.

How much cheaper would the show be if you were and executive and said "FUCK ALL THIS PUPPET SHIT, THE SHOW IS NOW USING INSTEAD ALL 3D MODELS"

>podling NTR
What now?

At some point when they do a ceremony for Bea's mother's death, you see Deet and the flute player guy looking at each other and there is like a connection and hup look down and is like "well of course, it's not like I had a chance in the first place". No words are said but you can get it that way.

That was very close to happening. TJHC pitched this as a fully animated show as first, but Netflix pushed for the puppets. So then they tried screen tests with CGI Gelflings and puppet Skeksis interacting with each other (Which you can see in the documentary), but came to the conclusion that all puppets would work best overall.

>2 eps in. So apparently they retconed the split between the Skeksis and the... um, Yang to happening before they arrived.

They are the mystics.

I also get confused on the timeline here. So did the UrSkeks get split before Augrah and everyone else came upon the crystal? I thought the Urskeks came from space and the crystal was their ship. I also thought the crystal of truth became the dark crystal when it was split which would mean the dark crystal was dark the moment the Skeksis started to exist.

Also as an aside no one seems to acknowledge that killing a Skeksis kills a mystic. So when you kill a bad guy you kill a good guy at the same time, its like some Nolan film.

THE LORDS OF Yea Forums

>prquel fatigue

I get tired of it as well. I think its because its the dork wank experience of them writing things so it lines up to the original but it also comes witj knowing the end state of the series which defuses investment.

>upside : callbacks galore
>downside: more opportunities for hack writing and that you have to validate the story beyond just making thr continuity line up.

From what I can tell this was gelfling history perhaps, or at the very least a very fragmented account of the creation myth.

Ranuip only get's a mention as a pass for the trial of air for instance, when he was wildly regarded and known my gelfling kind.

People forget things, skeksis corrupt histories, any number of explanations.

Or it could simply be that they didn't want to spoil any revelations early for newcomers to the setting.

Prequel to the 80s movie The Dark Crystal.

Its a series that has empahsized practical effects and aesthetics. Its expensive like Doug's neighbor late night QVC purchases.

>Thunderbolt Fantasy

I wonder how asian countries are receiving this. They usually love serious puppet stories.

I have no clue, but I remember Kojima tweeted out the poster so he might give it a short twitter review or so.

I haven't seen the whole series but I think Brea's family were originally theives or criminals and put into Maudra position because they were the best toadies to the Skeks.

She learned from the best!

So what's the deal with Darkening corrupted Deet? Is she evil now? Does she set forth the events of the film as a result of her actions? Those vision scenes tripped me up a bit.

>Yea Forumstumblr getting booty-blasted by a simple question
Don't let those faggots get to you. The show itself is pretty good. If you liked the movie, I'd give it a try.

That would be hard to calculate. If you got with a cgi movie it would probably cost like 93 million per episode or two compared with how much this version actually cost.

I have heard some say that puppets and CG cost about the same when you look at all the numbers before they get tweaked by tax write offs and incentives.

>Or it could simply be that they didn't want to spoil any revelations early for newcomers to the setting.

I will admit that the ending of the first movie came out of left field for me as a kid.

Its a puberty metaphor and now she has gone from cute goth phase to mean goth phase.

>Is she evil now?
No more than the tree. The Darkening is just consuming her. She'll die at a young age.

How come there's no r34?

This. Nothing outs them more than when they are hyper aggressive to people asking questions. That was the whole point of Brea's storyline, wasn't it?

>they are hyper aggressive to people asking questions
Yea Forums is always hyper aggressive when someone make a stupid post.

They are just being informative.

Fuck you Netflix, even with the series that aren't fuckups you try to suck the soul out of them.

Informative my ass. A little fear is good for kids

Imagine if they had a feature where "you have auto cencored" filter, so the platform jump automatically the scenes if on

Wow... so netflix made the right call, Why the hell some times they are dead brain and others they are not?

I think its a reverse logic kind of thing. Like saying, "there are boobs at these times in the film so be sure to cover your eyes!" No one is going to actually to listen to that, they are going to go to those bits for the tits.
