Why do all the other Skeksis respect the emperor and never fuck with his position? The chamberlain is a scheming, vindictive, power hungry fuck and not once does scheme against the emperor directly or blame him for any decrees he makes. Even the scientist who has his fucking eye ripped out is primarily upset with the chamberlain about it. I get chamberlain is an outlier on how far the skeksis are willing to go against each other but I don't see what solidified the emperor as the authority they collectively bow down to.

Her essence was injected into the hunter.

My favorite part of the interviews for the show was that they realized throwing the puppets around was really fun. So they purposely wrote scenes for more puppets to get flung around and thrown near the latter half of the season.

What would erotic romance and epic story & novel in the world of thra be like during the 1000 yeras Skeksis dynasty ?
The must haves them, just like we have in our history
Imagine the Skeksis version of the epic romances like the Troy

As we see in the movie, the other Skeksis revere the emperor so much that they didn't dare challenge him even on his deathbed. All except the chamberlain, who makes a move on his scepter but is scared into submission when the emperor notices.

Just based on the first movie, I always got the impression Skeksis chose their ruler by simply the strongest one taking lead, i.e trial by stone

It's because she's just that little bit more inhuman than the other Gelflings, offsets the uncanny valley

Would I get the show if I never watched the original movie?

it's all in the eyes since grottons have more inhuman looking eyes
it's a prequel so you're good watching it first or vice versa

The show is a prequel and assumes the viewer knows nothing, so starting there is completely fine.

Look at it this way. You know how at this point you know Spider-Man or Superman's backstory and so whenever they do a reboot and the characters on the screen do a thing that you know will have consequences?
It's like that. Not having seen the movie doesn't hurt, it just adds some fun little "oh ho!" moments.

I didn't watch the movie first and understood shit just fine. It's a prequel, and stuff is explained.

Good post

How would a human fare in a fight with a Skeksis? I think I could take the decrepit ones, but Hunter is like a velociraptor made of knives.

it's symbolic of being stripped of title/role/authority
probably anyway.

Reminder that even a weakling like Chamberlain could heft a huge ass fucking sword with no issue.

Also reminder that the Trial by Stone is fifty years after the events of AoR, so it's an even weaker Chamberlain.

Plus Chamberlain in the movie caused a cave in when he casually ripped a stalactite off the cave ceiling like it was no big deal.

dude the hunter would fuck you up

Actually a really well done scene considering how important the plot shifts from here

If that’s what The Chamberlain can do, imagine fighting The Hunter.

I have a feeling humans could take more punishment than a skeksis and we'd probably have better stamina than most. Now, how'd each skeksis would react to a human could be funny.

God looking back at that scene, it really shows just how fucking powerful those Skeksi fucks are.
Like look at how the General of the Garthim hits the stone and it falls off, that shit is glowing red hot.

Do you fucking realize how much power must've gone into that swing?!

It was the swing of a man on the edge. A man who heard one "hmmmMMMmmm" too many and had e-fucking-nough. skekUng had one chance and one chance only to get rid of that scheming faggot for good and did he ever snatch that opportunity with all his will.

I dunno, I think a 4-5 HEMA dudes could take the hunter, the average skeksis is about the size of a human crouching with their hand over their head. Im thinking a couple dozen humans could easily conquer thra.

escape, pick them off one by one

You're vastly overestimating human's. We're super breakable, and modern day humans are built to actually take damage.
Let's say that those twelve humans manage to beat the Skeksi's, now they've got to deal with Gelflings who are just as smart and capable of magic, and half capable of flight. Then you've got the multiple beasts of Thra. Not to mention with three fucking suns there's probably a gravity difference.

In all fairness to Steve, he hasn't been dealt the best hand lately. Disney fucking trashed the Muppet IP with the new show and he probably got let go for speaking out about it, and TJHC just quietly shunned him from any projects for no seemingly no apparent reason. I'd be a little pissed too if all that happened and suddenly I find out Mark fucking Hamill of all people is taking over a role I damn well still could have done.
All that being said, I can't really blame TJHC for getting the cast they did when each and every actor knocked all their respective roles out of the park. It's unfortunate Steve had to get caught up in that, but the product still turned out fantastic regardless.

I always thought they were both lady Skeksis.

look if i found out i was replaced and it turns out it was motherfucking luke skyjoker, i would me amazed

Skeksis at their prime must have been like literal demigods to the creatures of Thra if we consider that even the hunter was withered some compared to before.

none of the skeksis technically have gender. But The Collector and Ornamentailist consider themselves female I think

The skeksis don't really seem to have the same conception of gender and sex that we do

Iam really surprised to see that before all the Skeksis become drug addict and want full evil canniable,Scroll keeper and Colleter actually really seems to like Brea. They were not liying when they said they want to invite her to the castle and the library.
If the essence and darkening things never happened, we may see Brea reading books in Scroll keeper's library.

they're true hermaphrodites so it comes down each ones fashion quirks

Lmao, I just listened to their voices and thought that they sound like old women.

>keep each skeksis far away from each other
>each one is in charge of a certain area/country

they mellow out when you keep them away from each other

Any specifics? Didn't know that was the case. If so, I guess I can't really blame Gisnep or TJHC.
I would be too, but you gotta look at it from the angle that you got shafted from a role in a big-budget TV series because you didn't have enough star power to even be on Netflix's radar. Not that I'm complaining we got Hamill instead, far from it. But I see where he's coming from a little.

You can. Hermaphrodites in the animal kingdom are a thing.

Yes but you can't use the word "uncomfortable"

When it comes to genetalia? Sure you can. Trans people don't have an uncomfortable mix, because they either don't bother with bottom surgery for any number of reasons, or they get it and try their hardest to get it as close as possible to the gender they're transitioning to. There's no real mix down there that humans can do or create, thus it doesn't really apply to us.

Does the series reference anything from the comics?

Jen.

The word "Makrak", the name of the underground race from the Creation Myths comic, is used as an insult, and someone here said that Raunip is mentioned in passing too, but I haven't caught that one myself.

Makes sense the mystic who is a master of weaving and fabric has a flaming faggot as Skeksis counterpart.

Zone would make the tree rape Deet with its tendrils.

Huh, guess I'll pay attention when I see it

Skeksis is both the singular and plural form of that noun. Skeksis is improper.

What Human can cleave a fucking giant rock in half with a sword? There's a reason Skeksis are feared.

I want to see a Dark Crystal prequel set even further back when the Skeksis were in their prime and totally keeping up the charade. The Scientist and Aughra were actually friends at one point and the Scroll-Keeper's glee at finding a literate Gelfling seemed genuine. It's a race hell-bent on pleasure and when they considered the Gelfling pets and not cattle, they probably had some genuine affection at times for the pets that really appealed to their individual interests.

Honestly. But thats how it works sometimes.

What about this character's "whimper" and speech pattern is so satisfying? I watched the movie and am halfway through the series and he is just the best character to listen to for reasons I just can't explain. I usually find characters like him (repetitive, squawky voice, catchphrases) annoying but I love the Chamberlain.

YESS

MmMMmmMMM

Why didnt the archer kill himself from the beginning? I could see it being a honor thing but they didnt really touch on it.

They are both good at cloth making though

Why is SkekZok didn't show any interest of the throne or higher political power within the empire ?
How is he ranking amount his fellow
Skeksis: and does he has any real magic power ? It seemed the emperor himself understand more about magic than him.
And I don't get his personality, is he supposed to be the more saint and charismat iSkeksisc or not ?
skekSil said and claims he's only one with clear mind.

He's a rules-lawyer. He was one of the candidates in the movie when they Emperor died, but he suffers an inability to seize the moment, so he mostly satisfies his cravings for power by invoking the law on others and criticizing whenever he gets the chance.

As for magic, he's a fraud. He casts fake portents to try and influence the court, but in reality nobody believes his divinations and they all practice their own in private.

My interpretation of his behavior and conversations with Aughra is that, understandably, Archer is afraid of death.
He knows he could end the fight at any time, but cannot make himself do it.
Eventually Archer realize it cannot be any other way. Remember how his last words are something along the lines of "Now we shall see what's on the other side!" With these words, Archer comes to terms with death and willingly throws himself over the cliff to save the world from SkekMal.

>>As for magic, he's a fraud. He casts fake portents to try and influence the court, but in reality nobody believes his divinations and they all practice their own in private.

Thanks for the answer. I just felt kind of weird as I watched the series that the seemly third most high ranking Skeksis don't seem to show any interest in political power.

He mostly gets his power trips from being permitted to enforce their laws - you can see it when he practically orgasms over the peeper beetle and when he immediately tries to cozy up to SkekUng in the movie by enforcing the banishment of the Chamberlain after his loss in the Trial by Stone.

Most of the stuff about their bodies looks uncomfortable.

>mmmmmMMMMmmmm
>Little gem-boy wants peace, yes?
>peace only come from force!
>Skesis are force for peace! Skesis must be left be to make peace, yes?

I'm pretty sure the Chamberlain could convince Steven Universe to drain himself for the greater good.

skeksis are the best part of the show
I liked how without limits it was. maybe it was bit cartoony but I liked that they did not go for a compromise of just having few sacrificed to them from time to time, they want it all

Ever since seeing her in that gothy-Skeksis trying-too-hard-to-be-like-the-cool-kids outfit I have had only one thought in my head. To have the little alpha-bitch wannabe smear her painted lips all over my cock before I brutally fuck her into submission, leaving her shaking with the pain of out of proportion inter-species intercourse - and the shame of absolutely loving it.

I honestly believe UrSkeks are the real assholes and antagonists of this Dark Crystal saga.

He is the Emperor. If you overthrow the emperor you are just going into a cycle of dethroning. also what will the people think? its right up there as appearing immortal. plus on some level they all care for each other, like how they wanted to help the hunter (everyone except chamberlain)

She was a good character, but goddamn do I hate her. Good job on the writer's part.

I did not much care for the protagonists and saw her point of view and why she would act the way she did. I knew she was wrong but in the same situation I would probably do the same, so I did not hate her. I hated Rian

To be fair I doubt anyone present had seen a Skeksis run in a very long time.

And then a bowling ball.

>I hated Rian

I wish SkekMal would manhandle me like a pigskin

but they would not even be there if they had not been allowed in. In the show Aughra gave them the crystal so if she had been better at her job that too would have been avoided. Instead of Greed is bad, why not demand answers from all the things that could have prevented this

No. since they are not human everything was fine.

>Let's see, now there are two separate personalities since the ascent have been failed, Aughra shouldn't fuck this one up

Yeah, those podlings are getting out of control!

We can demand more than one thing at once. The show shows that greed is bad. The show also shows that if you fuck up, it's good to take responsibility and do something about it.

I think 80's faux nostalgia is in it's full force, so it doesn't need any shilling than it already has. The boomers at Netflix will already make it through the end and drain the franchise till we disgust at it.

He is just THAT powerful. His authorithy is such that even when he is dying in the movie, the Skeksis don't dare take his sceptre before they think he's dead. They could have just killed him but no-one, absolutely no-one, had the guts. Doesn't matter how weak his position logically should be. His sheer willpower and force of personality ensure that he is respected and feared to the degree where actually attacking him becomes unthinkable.

My personal head-canon is each Skesis/mystic embody a concept to the point where it is impossible not to recognize and respect that they are just THE BEST at that particular thing. Emperor has his leadership. Hunter is driven. General is dutiful to the extreme. Scientist is brilliant. Chamberlain is cunning.
Even if the Skeksis scheme and squabble, they realize each of them have gifts that can benefit the other it they play their cards right.

Seladon reminds me of the people who tried to negotiate with Hitler before the war. It was a perfectly reasonable thing to do. What these people simply did not imagine, could not have imagined, was that they did not try to negotiate with a reasonable person but a cartoonishly evil maniac who did not operate in any way normal people would ever be able to comprehend.

I like how tired of the General's shit the Ritual Master was by the end of that episode. Like the Chamberlain, it seems that he actually had a hint of respect for the Gelflings.

Isn't that what Skeksis have been doing before they totally snapped and went down to straight genocide?

Pssht! Shut up, MOM!

That or like the Ornamentalist he still had a sense of beauty and it hurt him to see the General trashing exquisite things.

Could also have been his role as priest imbuing him with respect for the reverence of others, so he defaults to not wanting to defile holy symbols.

So you are saying we need to enforce the border then? Stop their lust for borderline slave labor?

Why punish the exploited when you can punish the exploiter?
The show explicitly says, "we are many, and they are few." It is on the side of the working class, not the ruling class.

that has more to do with one's obsession with jews than it does ferengi
it's the same idea here

it's worse now with shooterchan refugees not knowing where to keep that shit

I think thatt SkekUng's performance might always be the best of the series for me. TRIAL BY STOOOONE wouldn't be half as memeable if he didn't sound so fucking cool shouting it

What I think makes the Skeksis so great is the perfect combination of cartoon/competent villainy. They are both extravagant and absurd while a serious and dangerous threat. Living their daily lives with a revelling disconnect while still interacting with the world at large.

Yeah. I was thinking about something like this earlier, in that would it be possible to satirize the skeksis?
For example, can you imagine the poor sod who was working for some mad magazine style parody rag or website? How do you parody the skeksis. You can't. It's impossible. They're both silly and serious, grotesque and elegant, the villains and main draw of the franchise and so on.

And the movie's narration states that as of the ceremony at the beginning that there are only 10 left

I always figured it was just that with such a long and relatively leisurely life they each followed their interested and specialized the fuck out.

Oh, I thought user meant died during the show

>What's an ablution?

They must have.
Remember sketek uses their parts to complete the murder bots.
I was actually kind of wondering about that plot hole since they need to make a whole army of the things but it's not too hard to handwave. They thought they were extinct but got the two slaves from the naval-gypsy gelflings so they could say there was a whole small island or colony of them someplace.

>why won't anyone tell me what it means!

I just assumed he was using their genetics and flash-cloned the resulting hybrid DNA.

Interesting that the Garthim at the end had blue eyes rather than purple...

It's plausible the the parts to make the garthim can come from other creatures

I guess I figured skekTek learned of suitable material from the gruenaks and would be able to use more common wildlife to build the rest, not that every Garthim was made from gruenak flesh

>purple eyes
The darkening, brosef

I suppose we'll see next season.
I don't expect a full course on garthim engineering but there will probably be at least a few shots of the production.
Hell they could just completely skip trying to solve it since it's so minor which is why I tentatively call it a plot hole.

DESU I thought the whole thing could have been done better. They did lay the groundwork and some foreshadowing, mentioning that the gruenaks are strong despite their size(basically fantasy dwarves) and later skektek saying he needed stronger parts for the garthim but I felt it was far to subtle and too little for such a major plot point.

I love the writing in this show so fucking much

The carriages seem to be living or semi-living, the stuff he was muttering to himself while fiddling with the Arathim corpse was referring to cellular mechanics, and the final Garthim looks way bulkier and more massive than what you'd get if you physically squished a Gruenak and an Arathim together, not to mention having very different morphology, so I think that points to skekTek having knowledge of genetic engineering. He is eventually going to create the crystal bats, too, and they look far too small to have been sewn together Frankenstein-style.

Writers really knocked it out of the park. Everyone knocked it out of the park, really. The passion and artistry for the world was evident in every frame.

They directly say the idea is to recombine multiple arathim into a bigger form but the tendons and shit weren't strong enough for the heavier body which is where the gruenaks come in. Skektek litterally introduces the garthim as a combination of arathim and gruenak.
Anyway like I said we'll probably see which direction they decide to take it in next season.

Skektek speculates it could be "grafted" into a larger form; he could easily be speaking about a genetic graft. When he's speaking about the substance of the flesh being insufficient, he specifically mentions fibroblasts, which are the cells responsible for connective tissue. Sure as hell sounds to me like he's talking genetic hybrids.

Either way it's very different from how the original lore treated Garthim; it described them as being physicalised dream-constructs that were entirely magical, hence the way they fell apart into empty shells when de-powered.

I'm REALLY looking forward to him showing up but I'm confused how he will. Originally the Garthim were made using memories of sea creatures from their first world. A lot cooler. What's his thing now if he isnt the Garthim master?

Podlings are potatoes

It won't be a problem for long, since he'll have garthim to master right from the get go. Maybe his old title was the Warrior or the Whimper-hater or some shit like that.

To be fair, they only roughly resemble the Arathim and neither Arathim or Gruenak have crab claws; the Scientist could still have drawn on some inspiration from vague memories of sea beasties to fully refine the design.

They were getting shrekt by those nurlocs so probably not honestly

Yea Forums and Yea Forums, and they always will be

Hey, skeksis get the right to murder gelflings and Mark Hammil gets the right to snipe your audition. Cycle of life!

I thought collector skek was a lady. Also I still wonder if the pustules she is covered with is just from getting old or if there was some accident.

To be fair, each skeks needs 4.16 gelfs per year to just maintain their lives. Drinking more makes them younger and they have a lot of youth to get back to.

Accident, I'd say. She claims it's the result of "knowledge"...

>Like, we try not to assign genders to the Skeksis.
Plus they're canonically hermaphrodites

SkekLach is referring to the fact that they got in the predicament they're in because they decided to tamper with their home world's crystal in pursuit of knowledge.

Deet not for sexual.
Deet must be taken care of tenderly.

So could all the mystics but their goal is to become the Urskeks. I'm sure they have some philosophy that eradicating a race is not bringing real balance, its just flipping the table.

I'm pretty sure he was just bullshitting and they were banished because they were shitters.

This. Deet is for hug and cuddle. Seladon is for angry fucking.

I want to capture deet and sell her to Skeksis for a hefty sum just to make them force her to work as a ill treated servant

shitters that decided to fuck with their homeworld's crystal

>She's gone from Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga!

Yeah, the Gelfljngs aren't made for war. They don't even kill eachother!

>SkekLach is referring to the fact that they got in the predicament they're in
I'm pretty sure she was referring to the pustules she's constantly bemoaning. The Scrollkeeper's response certainly implies that he's of the opinion she was never beautiful even before she was afflicted with them, giving her statement a context.

Besides, the impression I got was that they don't really remember much about being urSkeks.

Oh ok.
Fucking shitters.

The emperor and the general talk about that, how they have a hard time remembering.

Yeah, and all the Emperor really remembers is what it was like to be able to feel guilt, and shame, and how he doesn't really want to go back to that after what they've done. Something like that, anyway.

Completely. Deet looks best because she has inhuman features. It sidesteps the issue of looking to human by not trying.

Potatos.

sauce?

I wonder if they ever prank called skekMal and sounded his horn only to pretend not to have when he arrived
Presumably just once after he flipped his shit and almost killed them all because of it

I would really liked ro know what scenario was playing in his head where he whips up a rebellion but no one is supposed to be killed.

Oh damn I didn't even notice the horn was a replica of his head
Props to the prop makers

Are you really lusting about some skek tri-cloaca?
anyway, there is a thread on /aco/, fellow pervert

Any hopes and predictions for the remaining skeksis?
>skekung the garthim master
>skekna the slave master
>skekshod the treasurer
And others?

yeah, they're actually not that big, but they feel big because of the large black iris.
this should be a bit better.

Are you not?
thanks comrade

SkekSa the Mariner
SkekLi the Satirist.

I think that's pretty much all there is.

Canonically they are the severed siamese twins of star people.

meant to reply to

I fucking HATE superhero logic. Can't kill the Joker, can't kill Two Face, cuz that makes us as bad as them! As someone with a military background it makes no sense, especially when it is from another service member. PUT BODIES IN THE GROUND. The Skeksis will continue to kill, UNLESS YOU KILL THEM

I think that was just a "thinking gives you wrinkles" joke. Until otherwise I am going to stay firm in the belief its a rare virus or exposure to a radioactive power source. I refuse to be reasoned with!

Yes, who don't seem to have a gender. Once they split up, the skeksis are both/neither.
>Pre-production notes for skekEkt refer to him as an artist and interior designer. Jim Henson said, "We've never known whether these Skeksis were male or female. We always kind of liked the idea of them being some uncomfortable mixture in between"

...Mega?

I like how that if you check desustorage, almost every mention of general grievous in the last week was in referral to the hunter

Books leaned on a "It's bullshit that the Mystics would have to die too if we killed the Skeksis" angle.

hmmm
at this point do they even realize they CAN be put back together? I know it'd be shitty but given that it's 50 trine or so until the Great Conjunction even makes that possible, I think it'd be the kinder thing for the whole world
But yeah, different logic for a different society
