Just finished the dark crystal show, can i just say how amazing it was...

>No

it's out? fuck

Mira's death in the first episode. I was still in the "oh it's Muppets, how dark could it be" camp. The voice acting and the music made it feel like a real crime against nature.

why you mad? it was great

>”My lords! Help me!”

They were laughing at her man. That's what hurt me. It was a joke to them.

Gelflings are like puppies, they don't think or believe, they KNOW the Skeksis love them and wanna take care of them. She believed that they would save her, they wouldn't let her die in such an awful way.

The last thing she heard was them laughing at her

Watched the scene again and I noticed that the only one laughing was The Emperor. Everyone else seemed pretty shocked or awed... until they got the essence that is.

Yo should i watch the movie first or the netflix show.

Show first.

Chamberlain's speech at the end of the first episode

Personally I'd say watch the movie first, but the series seems to be a much more palatable entry into this franchise for a lot of people. Either choice is completely fine, your experience will be great either way. Just know that the series and film are REALLY tonally different. Not in a bad way, they just are.

When Seladon went to talk to the Skeksis thinking she had any power and they just outright mock her and humiliate her and then assault her.

Also the entire Heretic/Wanderer scenes.

SkekMal. Nothing gold can last. I hope the mariner will make a future apoearance

Chamberlain bullying Rian in the carriage

This. When Seladon put on her Skeksis costume I was worried she was gonna be the main focus villain but HMMMM... NO

You're right, one of them even even shockingly said "what are you doing to her !" Some of them even call out the scientist to stop.
Skeksis were corrupt rulers and nobles in the past, but It's when they become drug addict and cross the line of canniablizem that Skeksis became full evil and psychopathic and see Gelflings just their food instead of their subject and civilians in their empire.
Pre essence addiction, scroll keeper was actually going to invite the princess to his library.

Attached: 1567746915708.jpg (1504x2048, 706K)

I think Scroll-Keeper was just kissing her ass because she was a princess and he had someone to brag to.

But it is interesting that the Skeksis besides Emperor and Scientist were appalled by the act. Their last morsel of decency died in that room

thanks I needed something to watch.

Most kino moment of 2019

Skeksis the bird folks right? Man I don't remember much if anything. The birds still evil? Hell were they even evil in the movie? It's always nice to see practical effects again. I miss that shit. They look good in motion?

Yes, yes, yes, yes
Just watch it for yourself dude

>>birds still evil

Nigga you got no idea

They chew the scenery with how evil they are, its great.

Just how evil are the Skeksis here anyway?

Absolutely despicable, moreso than ever. Though they also have a couple scenes hat semi-humanize them so you see what their mindset is that drives them to do what they do, they're well done and don't try to portray them as less selfish, so they don't hinder the show's ability to show them gleefully committing atrocities.
Telling you the stuff they do would spoil some of the series best moments, so my advice would be to go watch it.

Over the top borderline demonic. Slavery, torture, genocide, cannibalism, murder, betrayal, bullying, netorare, animal abuse, poor table manners, and public mictruition

>netorare
Wait a minute...

I did not stutter

basically what said minus the cucking. Not sure about the 'public mictruition' though since it was done within their private property.

Dont forget... TELLING LIES

drinking the youknowwhat in front of youknowwho

I honestly think the scroll keeper was taking a shine to her. He probably still thought of her as a pet but he probably thought of her as the smartest pet.

The Gourmand and the General actually look physically ill. I'd go so far as to say they looked horrified, as if the Scientist just stabbed a puppy right in front of them to turn into liquefied cocaine.

Of course once they hit that shit they were right as rain, but it needs to be said that at the very least they had some morality while they were sober.

Why do I think she is referring to a radiation or virus experiment?

The Ornamentalist is one of the worst of the bunch since skekEkt wasn't even present for Mira's draining and pretty much responded to the news about drinking the souls of Gelfings with "Oh, that's neat. Where the hell is mine?"

The Scroll Keeper seemed genuinely delighted to meet somebody else that liked knowledge for knowledge's sake though. Without skekLach around, he probably would have wound up taking her there if just to show off how great he was.

Far as the draining goes, the Scientist actually knew what was going to happen in advance so it's no surprise he wasn't appalled by it. The Emperor didn't but clearly didn't care.

She very well could be. The Skeksis were beautiful before they started abusing Crystal

>Of course once they hit that shit they were right as rain, but it needs to be said that at the very least they had some morality while they were sober.
I think it bears looking at that while they were siphoning off the life-essence of the planet through the crystal, up until that point they seemed to have a bit of distance between them and the actual harm of their rule, they weren't getting their hands dirty as much. Most of them didn't see the darkening, sent Gelflings to be their forces, and because of this, were able to more effectively keep up the facade of benevolence. As soon as they started directly siphoning life from their subjects, a more animalistic side of them came out, and they were no longer able to hide their true nature, and it makes perfect sense that the phase of their rule through propaganda and manipulation came to an end coinciding with the consumption of Gelfling essence.

I think that ties to Aughra thinking the Skeksis were benevolent once then got darker.

Skeksis were maybe not as corrupt or psychotic as they were but centuries of using the crystal to stave off death or maybe just the time itself had changed them. Until that time they only sought to enslave the gelflings and maybe genocide other races for opposing them or because it was a tuesday.

When they find out that they can murder gelflings to extend their lives and restore their strength they went of pompous manipulative aristocrats to literal monsters who prey upon the gelflings. At first they are trying to keep it secret but as we know from the movie, they switch to about a monsterous as you can get.

Also that the other skeks were ugly and had some festering puss ulcers but with her it made up her entire body.

Anybody else thing the new show is a little too busy compared to the movie? I mean the movie felt more impactful because the dialogue was so sparse and there weren't so many distracting music cues. It was way more atmospheric and alien. The sets also feel smaller now.
youtube.com/watch?v=pa-zBpB9Gf4

What the was the festering skeksis chick's name? I legitimately can't find a reference.

skekLach, the Collector.

I like the series better, out of the two non muppet henson films from the 80s i always preferred labyrinth because it was so lively, and while i still loved dark crystal it was mostly for the skeksis, alot of the things about jyn felt kinda boring tbqh. I feel the series has the strengths of the film and builds upon them to make something better.

>They look good in motion?

The Hunter is the best example. Apparently they are using lighter suits so they move around better.

They also get tweaked with CGI, like when they roll their tongues.

She totally seems like the character that gets the fanart.

I don't think that counts as cucking him, its more of just psychologically torturing him by drinking whats left of his gf. Its a separate brand of of dickery.

Why the fuck do people watch prequels before the original? Prequels are just sequels that happen to take place earlier in the story.
Prequels almost always use the original as a foundation and build off it. Just like sequels do.
You would never tell someone to watch Empire Strikes Back before A New Hope.
And there's tons of references to the original film that you would not pick up on if you watch the fucking show first. Watch the fucking movie first.

the one where the emperor and the general talk about their dreams, it really did a great job making the skeksis more sympathetic, the strong feeling of guilt they had whenever they thought back, their fear of death, how the emperor was willing to suffer to assure the survival of him and the other skeksis.
it made the later scene of the emperor being willing to do almost everything to make sure that the hunter survive work even more. he is desperately trying to hang on to the self created myth that skeksis are immortal. if the hunter dies that means they all can die and his fear of death is too great to let that happen.
also really liked all the hunter scenes, especially the once where he ridiculed the other skeksis for only caring bout court politics which in his eyes were pointless.
the heretic was also great.

Because people like watching things in order.

>Until that time they only sought to enslave the gelflings and maybe genocide other races for opposing them or because it was a tuesday.
They started genociding Gelflings only when that was the only real way to extend their own lives. Its the beginning of the first episode where they become from ostensibly evil to full blown diabolical villains. Before the prequel they were just greedy assholes obsessed about self-preservation. It was Chamberlains idea to start killing off other creatures for their gain, SkekTek didn't even have that pop in his mind.

Aughra reminds the Scientist, arguably the cruelest Skek, they used to be friends. He can't even look her in the eye, he can only mutter that it was a long time ago.

People whine about "sympathetic villains" like every villain who isn't Darkseid is without merit. This year the most tragic villain is an Aquaman-themed casting couch rapist. The genocidal bird vampire's are still evil without regret, we just know that DEEP down they still have emotions and fears.

Brea tricking the shopkeep with the tainted drink

Anyone else notice how many of the leaders seemed to know that the Skeksis were just bullies running a protection racket? I guess they let it slide to maintain status quo

If you and your family could live in the biggest house on the highest hill in town in exchange for a yearly visit from weird creepy bird monsters, wouldn't that be worth it?

I like the Skekses and all, but this series suffers from being just so, so ugly all the time.

Nah. Skeksis were always ugly as they represent the dirty side of UrSkeks after the conjunction had falied.

No it really isn't. It's nice that the Skeses are hideous and that their personalities match, but the Gelflings also have ugly little rat faces that preventing you from rooting for their little love affairs. I mean who wants these things to reproduce? If there weren't an explicit father/son relationship in the show, I'd believe you if you told me that female Gelflings lay hundreds of eggs in their mates so that Gelfling larvae can eat their father when they hatch.

She was probably helping the Emprah with his early Darkening experiments and got burned.

Just finished the movie, it was neat but obvious that it was meant to be a movie mostly for young kids.
What am I in for with the show? I notice each episode is an hour long so I get just the slightest feeling it's gonna have just a little more depth.

Heretic and UrGoh's puppet show

Surprising amount of death and Chamberlain

It ups the ante on the gelflings and fleshes them out infinitely more than the movie
you'll also get much more skeksis goodness, the gelfling characters are fine and all but for most of us the skeks are still the best part

>I WILL NEVER TURN TO DUST

>More HMMMMMMMMM
You have me sold
Also from the clips I've seen of the show the puppetry seemed on such a different level that I figured the movie would be almost unwatchable if you watch the series first.

I made a thing. Suggestions?

I'm also not memeing about Brea, she really creeps me out. Seems like she has Down's syndrome or something.

The fucking technical and performance difficulty of getting puppets to perform a complex puppet show blew my fucking mind. At one point they have a Skeksis usings its hands to use finger puppets... that's like using a pair of industrial robot arms to control a mouse and keyboard to play Counter Strike.

Brea and the Vaprans look a-ok to me. It's Rian who looks off to me. I get that his mouth looks smiley because he's almost certainly Jen's dad and he had a similar look, but it still threw me off bad. I still don't mind him, but he easily looks the worst.

Skekung will befriend the scientist and help him perfect the Garthim, thus securing him as an ally. Then he gradually starts to take the scientist for granted and abuse him like the others do, and like he does in the movie.

Never watched the original movie but I'm enjoying the show so far. Only on the second episode though but shit keeps getting realer and realer and I'm loving it.

Anyone else feel like they need to explore more of the setting, so we can get beyond the Gelflings (who honestly are the worst part of the whole thing) and Skekis (who are effectively dead and shouldn't come back as they did before)? Because there is a lot of potential here, but we're sort of in the whole "I REMEMBER THAT" running in circles phase.

I don't even know how to choose
Scene within a scene, but skekmal fucking throwing Rian's ass across the battlefield like a ball is beautiful

I love the Gelflings and learning more about them this time around as much as I do the Skeksis. I get they're not as memorably ham our good ol' skekbois but they're so damn likeable. I'll cry buckets when they all die.

Ill suck the librarian's dick

Gelfling puppets just look terrible, and the whole concept is just too similar to generic elf/fairies/fey. They've just gotten more elf-like with the series.

Can anyone explain what the "three brothers shine" thing means? It was when Rian and Deet were searching for the dual glaive.

He reminds me of Reyn from Xenoblade, even has a similar voice.

They all look fine to me, I guess I just have a tolerance for that kinda stuff. Also stuff like dreamfasting, the sex differences, and the physical and behavioral distinctions between the clans appeal more to me than typical elves do.

ehhhh
not really

don't get me wrong, the world could definitely be explored, but this is a definite situation where the gelfling and split races are and always have been the center

I just don't think I'd care very much about something ELSE

I liked how he he repeats verbatim the opening line of the movie when he answers her, and it doesn't feel like a hamfisted callback at all. It was a very well executed little moment.

I loved it when the Hunter came in the castle nearly dead and all the other Skeksis seemed genuinely concerned as if they just snapped out of their horrendous ways if only for a minute.

That little scene with skekMal and skekSil where the Hunter goes from mocking the Chamberlain to straight up respecting his thirst for power within three lines.

Both of them are absolutely terrifying in completely different ways.

I thought it was okay. At the end of the day might makes right bores me.

The little elves team up and that means they can slaughter the vultures in physical combat.

I like when stories don't boil down to this.

Like, the archer. He doesn't take out his other half by merging and finding forgiveness/peace. He murders himself to murder the hunter.

the fuck was he SUPPOSED to do
the great conjunction wasn't going to happen for DECADES more

When Hup loses his shit.

I kind of get what you are saying, but I think it worked in the Archer's case because the story did a good job of setting up how the solution to his dilemma was and always had been simple violence, and he had been avoiding coming to this obvious conclusion for centuries because he was just as scared of death as the skeksis were. Thematically, the Archer was really more of a foil for the Emperor than he was for the Hunter.

Retarded. The Heretic and Wanderer literally exist to show you how a Skeksis and Mystic can resolve their differences by making peace with themselves. Such a plotline was already there.
Also WHAT THE FUCK ELSE COULD THE ARCHER HAVE DONE

The 3 brothers are the suns, the three sisters are the moons.

Ah shit, Hup even points that out doesn’t he now that I recall

Probably the Chamberlain drinking Mira’s essence in front of Rian. What a glorious fucker.

Chamberlain, Scientist, and the Hunter. Skekso was great too.

Why didn't the mystics just kill themselves?

>Skekung
Like others have said, he probably perfects the Garthim design, crowning him Garthim Master. Chamberlain probably thinks he’s as easy to fool as the General, only for Skekung to see through his bullshit. Skekung wasn’t a genius, but he wasn’t stupid.

If the skeks were all sucking down crystal power just to stay alive before they discovered Essence, how did the Hunter stay alive out in the forest? How about that other female skek that visited them? They didnt seem to bathe in crystal energy every morning like the main group did.

Attached: hmmmmmmmmmm.jpg (244x164, 20K)

They didn't want to die either

They held onto hope that the prophecy would come about. They were scared of dying. Various reasons
You could say that their great sin was inaction and allowing the world to suffer while the Skeksis refused inhibitions

Reeee there are no female skeksis

Skeksis don't actually need crystal to stay healthy and live long time. They just think they do.

>Not absorbing the spirit and power of your prey by eating it's still beating heart

Lifestyle seems to be the common theory, not giving in to sloth and hedonism probably keeps the outer dwellers fitter than the Castle Skeksis
But it’s also possible that they would come to the castle periodically to take part. We see just in the series itself that even castle skeks can spend a few days away with no real ill effect
They had probably only been trying daily because they were hoping to see if the Crystal would give THAT DAY since it hadn’t the prior. When the ritual gave them plenty of energy they probably had to do it far less often

Gurjin was a beast.

They may be the "better" half of the UrSkeks but they are very much beings with their own faults. They still very much wanted to be reunited with the Skeksis and while aware of the horrible events going on on Thra, they were overall too passive in nature to do anything about it while the Skeksis (The much more active half) continued to do as they saw fit. That's why the Archer's arc concludes with him realizing what had to be done for the better of Thra, even if his own selfish nature had made him reluctant to do so.
Adding on to this, some user earlier said this kinda matches Archer more thematically with the Emperor than the Hunter, but I kinda disagree. The Hunter, while not drawing from the Crystal or Essence, is still as obsessed with the idea of eternity as the other Skeksis. His outlet for that is the Hunt and keeping himself in peak /fit/ condition as opposed to the Crystal/Essence. He even boasts about his supposed eternity when trying to kill Rian. skekMal may have been more competent than his brethren for sure, but he still absolutely shares in their same selfish desires to be as brutal as they please without consequence. His desires are just more respectable because he's not a lazy shit.

My only real issue with the show was the score. Trevor Jones aint dead so its a shame they cheaped out. The movie has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time, I appreciated the tease of the motif in the first and last episodes but on the whole it didn't do a whole lot for me.

What's the chance of seeing Raunip in S2? He hasn't officially died yet in any expanded material, has he?

The writers actually talked about this in an interview:

Addiss: We love Raunip. There was not space for him in this story, but we’re hoping there’s space for him in later stories.

Matthews: Raunip is such is a great character, and he’s such a great engine for drama, relationships, a different perspective. But in the first season, the audience needs to learn sort of the first perspective: the Skeksis, the Gelfling. That’s the easiest way in. As the story progresses, with more layers, nuance, and grey areas. Raunip is the master of the grey area. So, keep hope alive.

Doing nothing seemed to work pretty well up to that point.

I finally sat down and watched the last three episodes. I got to say this is one of the most perfect shows I've seen in a long time.
If I had one complaint it's that there wasn't enough random small creatures running around in the foreground. I always felt that was a staple of the old Jim Henson movies.

>Reeee there are no female skeksis

I'm pretty sure a few are more female than not.

Trevor Jones may not be dead, but judging by his imdb he's mostly inactive as fuck. I utterly adore the original film's score as well, but I don't know if he'd have it in him to do an entire tv show. Not to mention the show and film are radically different in tone.
As for me, while it's not as iconic as the original film's music, I still loved AoR's score. The main theme, the song of Thra, and the memorial song were particular highlights for me.

I sexually identify as Skeksis.

The only thing I could actually point out that annoyed me was “DID I MENTION MY TWO FATHERS YET,” but even then I just took it as a Netflix requirement that didn’t derail anything thankfully.

The Scientist was into growing crystals, to the point where he made the Haakskeekah stone in an attempt to produce a superior version of the Crystal itself.

You can see some samples growing in a little pot in his locksnake cupboard, on the shelf under where he stores the essence sample.

>s “DID I MENTION MY TWO FATHERS YET,”
She only mention it once. calm your tits down.

This. At first I was scared she would be a standard villain and I thought she would be very Mary Sue. But you realize that she put on this front of becoming the villain to save her people from a struggle she didn't apprehend the scale of. Then as she is told no you see that increase of realization and fear because no matter how much she tries her efforts were all in vain and she's actually in danger. She thought she was a wolf but is actually a sheep in the middle of a wolf pack.

But there are so many great scenes, it is hard to pick.

Either way you can always tell her parents that you thought it was just a cozy puppet show and didn’t know any better.

Who really should have been the one of the two members of the 7’s old guard who was not a monster alongside Maeve; but no they just shunted that plot thread from A Train over to him in the adaptation and made fallout for exposure for it a plot.

I think that's generally true, but this show assumes you don't know anything and everything is clearly explained. It plays with some expectations slightly, but I think the show actually does benefit from a blind viewing, in addition to the show simply being better written and overall more interesting. My suggestion to a new viewer is to watch the show, then the movie, then the show again to catch the few references.

Is this show 3D or Puppetry?

Puppetry but cgi is used

Jim Henson himself stated that the skekses are meant to have completely ambiguous gender. He comments that some are more effeminate and some are more masculine in their clothing and expression, but ultimately they all have no definitive/canon gender.

>every once in a while he would do some intense or Chad shit to remind you he’s the boss.
I think that's what made him so effective, he's never overdone and sometimes you just don't really think about him until he suddenly shoves his royal dick right down your throat and proves why he's the emperor.

So male gelfling all have fetishes for wings don't they? Considering it's apparently an explicitly female trait.
I am betting they've got erotic fiction that goes into eerily deep detail in regards to the description of gelfling wings.

I watched way worse shit when I was 10. There's no need to shelter the poor girl, she'll be worse off for it.

Nah, the 3 left to die are the skekGra the Heretic, and two of the ones mentioned as not being at the castle: skekLi the Satirist and skekSa the Mariner

Justice for the gruenaks

Don't swear to something you don't fully understand. The General that died in the season finale is a different character to the one who is also called the Garthim Master. The Skeksis all have names and they mentioned the Garthim Master's name when they were listing off the Skeksis that needed to return to the castle in episode 9.

Plus the Garthim Master and the first General look like completely different species of animal. How can people think that their different morphology is a sign of aging? Even the two different versions of the Emperor look pretty similar to eachother.

And also, even when the show overwrites the books and comics, they still reappropriate elements from them

Would be curious to see the girl if she's different.

What the fuck was the emperors problem he ripped off his fucking nail

His body is falling apart from crystal usage/the darkening.

He is the slave master

I really loved the lead up to and the eventual multiple dream fasting scene. Aughra is such a great character

The heretic and wanderer die?
That's pretty shit man, I wish I didn't know so I can keep dreaming about them hugging during the convergence

Do you think Seladon likes to be punished? She's probably wracked with guilt, so you could be as rough as you want and she'll just endure it all because she deserves it.

Uhhhhh....no

HmmmMMMmmmposting is here to stay.

Underrated Skeksis

So what even is Aughra? Is she like a super old Gelfling, or is she just some kind of unique personification of Thra?
I mean she has like sheep horns or something. No other creature had that.

While the Hunter represents the physical terror and threat of the Skeksis so well, The Chamberlain exemplifies their truly worst trait: Their ability to manipulate people, even themselves. HmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMM?

She's the spirit of thra. The planet's avatar.

Stop, stop, my penis can only get so erect!

I just want to make pull that gothy Skeksis oufit off her. Then fuck her roughly till she shakes with pain yet begs for more

Yeah, she was "born from the need of the rocks and trees for an eye to see the world". She's pretty much Thra's Mother Nature.

Unique personification of Thra. To quote the World of Dark Crystal lore book, "Born from the need for rocks and trees for an eye to see the World."

HmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm

Gelfling pussy is probably super tight, considering that they're about 3 feet max. I want to completely wreck her until she can't walk for days. Deet and Brea on the other hand are for gentle lovemaking

Yes.

In the end he agreed, didn’t really need to explain it much more to him beyond just saying this kind of stuff can be good for them.

What intrigues me is how by default he first when with the standard parent cliche of “it’s too much for the kids” without really thinking it through.

So why didn't the Skeksis just use random animal's for their life force and maybe a few slaves nobody would care about? I feel like they could have rationed it better and still kept a lot of things in check.

Eh, when I see skekVar, I see a boat with a beak, and when I see skekUng, I see a decayed owl.

I’m glad she didn’t start off with all the answers, she had to build herself back up.

Gelfing are closest to Thra. They provide the best essence.

Random animals probably provide shit essence.

You expect the Skeksis to do anything in moderation?

Every word of what you just said was absolutely correct

Attached: 463.png (640x478, 392K)

Gelflings make the best essence because they're the closest to Thra. In original film they tried using podlings but the essence they produced was too shit.

Except the end

Because Essence is drugs. They are drug addicts, doing anything for the next big hit.

That part were he saves the general the first time felt so bad ass that for a second I forgot he’s the kind of guy who never do that without some nefarious reason.

Especially the end

I want to choke them with their own hair during hip bruising sex.

Chamberlain would have done that because he's got self-control.
The others are just egomaniacal drug addicts and Gelfling essence is the purest. Podlings just can't compare.

>The skeksis had an entire race of little doe-eyed elvish creatures who were completely subservient to them, yet they never used them for the purpose of decadent and perverse gangbangs/orgies/sexual slavery.

They deserve to die just for that oversight alone.

But why? That means they aren't degenerates.

They dont seem to have any kind of sex drive

Yeah They have a Skeks drive instead

Because they raised my wife to be a pure hearted gift to Thra. They deserve an honorable and peaceful fate.

Thank god, they're magnificent villains but truly disgusting physically.

>ywn have your own harem of little gelfling love slaves to see to your every pleasure

*boar with a beak

ask /pol/

Hasn't stopped people from lewding them

It's kind of like vampirism. You can survive on drinking rat-blood in an emergency, but human blood is much more potent and has longer lasting effects. The Gelflings are closer to Thra, so their essence is more potent than lesser creatures. In the original movie, the Gelfling were almost extinct and the Skesis used Podling essence because that's all they had available.

I am utterly shocked people have fapped to them (Even though I definitely shouldn't be). skekMal I'd understand because he's definitely ripped as fuck under all that gear. But everyone else? Holy fuck no.

The end of 'All i remember is fire' made me jump. Hunter is a beast.

People have been fapping to skeksis for 37 years

How long is a trine in human years?

>You are stripped down by the entire court right then and there

Apparently 1 trine = 1 human year

We've never been told

will The next season take forever to come out or will it be next year?

Dunno. Thra has three suns so first you would have to how long a day even is.

It hasn't been renewed yet, so keep shilling it to your friends and family

So Louis Leterrier apparently said they have 2 unused/scrapped Skesis ideas

Gambler sounds cool.

>Artist who was crazy and eventually ends up using gelflings and piddling body parts for his works
Jesus...

Not when most of them aside from skekMal look the way they do. Depending on how the Mariner looks, I'll consider it.
>Drifter Skeksis
Would have been cool

Crazy artist feels played out
Gambler game master skek sounds bitchin though

Now I imagine the court playing scale model DND style games with podlings as their avatars in constructed environments with various beasts and wildlife

Turns out cunning really is the most powerful weapon.

I like those concepts.

Imagine painting with Essence

I can imagine him playing high stakes games that result in grievous injury. Of course he never loses, because he always cheats.

Literally a living painting.

>STOP LICKING MY WORK YOU FOOLS!

He even brought up the concept of farming and the scientist was wary of the Crystals condition, that all flew out the window soon after but the Chamberlain I feel only changed his tune in order to stay in good graces with the Emperor. Despite all his manipulation, he too needs to swim with the social current at times.

Could have been an interesting moment to show how the Skeksis will destroy beauty of any kind to get at essence

That brazzers moment with the volunteers was hilarious.
>its not about size, its about Vigor.

Hold on, urTih has both his eyes!

OOF

Technically we got the artist Skeksis with the Heretic. He's clearly more mellowed out than this concept, but he's still a crazy artist.

>sportsman goes around gelfling villages learning their games and fleecing them out of everything they're worth
I can dig it

No. You let Deet slowly ease herself onto your dick and ride you at her own pace. Seladon's the one who wants you to choke her and yank her ears while you slam your hips so hard it makes her whole tiny, slender frame jump.

Attached: Dark-Crystal-Seladon-makeup-evolution.jpg (780x482, 95K)

He for sure felt the eye being eaten though. I don't think the physical damage the others take transfer over, they just feel it. The Emporer is literally falling apart but The Master is still full but just dying at the start of the Movie.

>Anybody else thing the new show is a little too busy compared to the movie?
Most media these days is way busier than before, mostly because we're able to be now. Whether or not it would've been so busy had folks before had the means is hard to say though.

Except the damage does transfer. urSol bleeds after Jen stabs skekSil in the hand with the crystal shard. In fact, the shot used for urSol in that reference image is that very scene.

The Ornamentalist is supposed to torture little birds and creatures with feathers that she makes her dresses from. I noticed in that one meal scene where she's brutally stabbing a living turtle creature through his neck- it's possibly a hint of that.

Not to mention when skekTek falls into the crystal pit urTih burst into flames.

Hmmmmmmm... I bet they’re into wing-play

So what I'm getting from this is that the Heretic and Wanderer get double the pleasure when they jack eachother off

Nooooooooo Seladon gets the whole wrapped around her throat while in doggy. Other hand switching to gripping her shoulder/waist or spanking her. When she complains it hurts just say 'Not as much as it hurt your mother and sister when they died" and enjoy the heavy sobbing/hard orgasm she goes through

Attached: 1497147483152.jpg (1000x978, 284K)

Maybe he has a glass eye instead of a robot eye

That seems like a reasonable explanation.

Should SkekTek and Urnol be paired since they’re both missing their right eyes?

>your gelfling gf will never beg you to lick/tickle her wings while she rides your cock

This life is not worth living.

skekNa is also missing the same eye.

H-Haha

You will never have a sadistic femskek gf who will keep you as her pleasure slave and bring you to a mind-shattering anal climax with her mighty hermaphrodite schlong.

Sounds more like something Aughra might do.

I blame the conduct and content of the Zim threads, people tolerated their content and now they think they can do the same with Gelfling and Skeksis.

Thread is fine
