The Dark Crystal

There's something to be said for kicking all the way down user. They may die, but by god they'll go down swinging.
Screaming too probably, but swinging all the same.

Fuck me there's so many possible variations you could do for Saturday Morning style pics

>skekSil in bed with skekUng on the mower
>skekUng in bed with skekSil on the mower, mower making hmmmmmm noise
>skekTek in bed with any other skeksis
>Aughra in bed with skeksis outside

That sounds bitchin'.

I hope it's better written and drawn than the sequel comics.

But consider
>Raunip in bed, UrSkeks singing

Has anyone done a "Forty Skeks" edit of that Lex Luthor meme yet, or am I gonna have to do that tomorrow morning?

you can also make a lot of jokes about aughera just walking in and out of the skeksis castle whenever she feels like it while the rebellion is going on

The sequel comics art is fine. It just doesn't fit the detailed world of Thra.

Them being kind of scared of her in the movie and not killing her but doing their best to lock her up instead makes a lot of sense considering that the last time they killed her she came back to life and as far as they can tell she killed their strongest comrade while doing so.

I'm doing my best, OP, but my social circle isn't that big

Pretty much screencap him at any point in this series and the movie, he's smug most of the time.

>The Scientist's robotic eye in the original movie was a painted TIE fighter cockpit
>The Scientist is played by Mark Hamil in the netflix series

I don't understand. Is this show actually in trouble? Even normies are watching it and excited by it, so I assume it's doing really well. How astronomically high are Netflix's standards for getting one more measly season?

On visions and protagonists:
I think it could be a new Jen puppet, but the clothes do look much more like Rian's tunic (color and shoulders) than Jen's rags.

Worse still she made them do it while thinking it was their idea. They're not just afraid killing her they're downright terrified of /listening/ to her and fucking themselves up even worse. Anything she say's is suspect, anything she does is suspect. Hell even after they locked her up they basically did it in Sektek's room just so he could watch her (and also because they didn't like him and if he died first so much the better).

This is the last thing Deet sees in her vision and she comes out of it yelling, "I won't! I won't!" Perhaps indicating that she saw herself stopping Rian from healing the crystal?

>Abortive attempt to fix the Crystal that shows them they have to wait? It's not lit like it was when Jen did it.
I wonder what'll happen if they try. Can the piece be slotted in or will the damaged Crystal reject a "pure" shard and spit it back out

its not, season 2 is already in production but its really fucking expensive and time consuming as I'm sure you can guess.

>Kira's mother?
That's what I'm thinking, yeah. She hides the baby from the Garthim among the podlings, then probably leads the Garthim away sacrificing herself for Kira's safety.
>Abortive attempt to fix the Crystal that shows them they have to wait? It's not lit like it was when Jen did it.
Yeah, something's going on there for sure. As I mentioned in I think some shit's going to go down with Deet and Rian when this happens. Him putting the shard in seems to awaken the Darkening in her, and I'm betting she goes after Rian, Deet has to be put down, and Aughra hides the crystal shard in her orrery.

While he got yeet'd by Hunter, at least he wasn't used as a straight fucking bowling ball like Rian

So would they keep season 2 as "Age of Resistance", or would they be better off calling it "Dark Crystal: The Garthim War"?

That would make Kira's "Mother? Mother, the monsters-!" even more poignant, since we now have a face to put to her: clever, witty Brea.

Along with two identical shards. Extended lore had those being made by skekTek to confuse the search, so they must get mixed up with the real one before it's all said and done.

Oh shit, what if they get mixed up before then and Rian has the wrong shard when he tries to heal the crystal and so it backfires horribly?

>when you squeeze his tummy, he shouts his "Podling Justita!" line

So Age of Resistance as a title is a soft lie. It includes characters from the show, but from a generation before there was a hint of "Resistance." Okay.

I liked the comics. I mean they're not amazing, but stripped of the shear joy of seeing all the art put on screen, I frankly don't think the Dark Crystal is that amazing either. The art is also fine. Granted, a more painterly style or detailed style would be better for the Dark Crystal, but to call the art bad is frankly a lie.

Come to think of it, Dustin Nguyan or Sana Takeda painting a short would be great.

What about a statue of our golden god?

>to call the art bad is frankly a lie.
I didn't, I just didn't think it was great. It is, like you said, "fine". No better than that, which I found a pity.

I thought the writing was worse, though, especially shoehorning the Skeksis in because they were afraid nobody would read a dark crystal comic without them.

Made much more sense to go for a prequel as the full production.

Somehow that sounds worse.

I'm so looking forward to the eventual Lore v. Garthim fight with Hup riding atop the beautiful rock bastards back.
Also who else thinks Lore gets a spoon on his right hand just for shits and giggles?

I was thinking Deet would be her mother, both have a connection to animals.

Brea and Rian seem like bits of Jen.

Granted my theory needs a way around this.

>no Deet statue for the Hup statue to protect from the skekSo statue

>I didn't, I just didn't think it was great. It is, like you said, "fine". No better than that, which I found a pity.

I think it's better than fine. The issue is, is it fitting? It had an airy look like a modern take on art from very very old books. Like we're reading a historical recording that's half legend. So that aspect fits.

>I thought the writing was worse, though, especially shoehorning the Skeksis in because they were afraid nobody would read a dark crystal comic without them.

I mean that's not the writers fault. Spurrier was adapting a script already made for a Dark Crystal 2. Blame whoever at Hensen felt that was the way to go for a follow up.

>Made much more sense to go for a prequel as the full production.

The original film is so oddly both light and complex on lore and history than both prequels and sequels make a lot of sense. I do think starting this major revival with prequels is the smarter move though.

was just about to post that after I did the bottle, I especially like that he's got the upgraded spoon
it'd be my first statue, but damn if I don't love that little guy

I'm a toy guy. I just like being able to fiddle with my nerdy shit instead of just having to dust it. I like how the toys have this sort of high quality 80s vibe It's pretty neat. But no Brea seems like some bullshit.

They look dope but goddamn I wish skekMal was one of the figures.

I think it got worse with the second sequel. It shifts away again and the Gelfling end up not really looking like Gelfling, for one thing.

>I mean that's not the writers fault. Spurrier was adapting a script already made for a Dark Crystal 2. Blame whoever at Hensen felt that was the way to go for a follow up.
So the original writers, and the original writing? Okay, that just moves it one layer.

I would like to know who thought it'd be a good idea. I suspect Lisa, since she's the showrunner and Brian's the workman. I am reminded that the aim of the Skeksis segment on the Henson puppet making challenge series was to create a Skeksis that was returning to the castle after banishment. That smacks of a way to get a long-lost (new to the audience) Skeksis to appear in a sequel film, having skipped the reunification, to me, but it could also be a prototype for the idea of new Skeksis returning to the castle such as we'll probably be seeing in the second season.

Makes me wonder if anyone from Creature Shop Challenge ended up working on the new show.

>I do think starting this major revival with prequels is the smarter move though.
Agreed. For one thing, with a prequel they have a lot of existing lore material from the original creatives to illustrate and expand upon. It makes for a nice head start.

>And he even still has the original spoon in his belt.
lore breaking, the statue is ruined
not really

>"What is it about the Hunt that drives me mad with desire you ask? It is many things, from the steam that happens once hot blood is spilled onto the cold ground, to the horrified screams of a prey once they see their end is near."
>"Do you think me a poor hunter then? Because I do not sneak about and quietly dispatch my targets? Fool, that would be too easy. Why do you think I wear such bright robes, so that they may see me when I approach. Why do you think I wield such massive blades, so that they may believe themselves faster than me. Why do I stomp about, when I could simply scurry through the trees and descend upon my prey without them ever knowing?"
>"Because then they would go without the knowledge that they were hunted. Lives are not candles that can be snuffed out on a whim, they are pulsating wells that offer you what you need. To take all they have to offer so quickly, it is an insult. Let their fears and worries wash over you, bathe in their screams and smile as they try to run."
>"The hunt will go on, for as long as any being of Thra draws breath they are my prey. They are my prize."
>"They, are MY essence."

The amount of detail in these statues is insane. Rian even looks like he has tears in his eyes.

>But no Brea seems like some bullshit.
Now that Deet's separated from the party, Brea might have a bigger role in S2 and could maybe get some merch. It feels like this first merch wave for S1 was primarily centered on the characters TJHC absolutely knew would be people's favorites (Deet, Hup, skekMal, Aughra). The next wave might have the smaller characters from this season.

Attached: Dark Crystal AOR - Funko-01.jpg (960x960, 170K)

I would have loved to see Aughra actually interact with the Hunter. She was kind of Thra's nature goddess, she found him the most beautiful of the Skeksis back when they weren't so ugly looking, and seemed sad to see him dying. Makes me think there was some strong mutual respect there.

Hunter knew what he was, he didn't pretend to be anything else. Honesty, even if it's something as horrifying as Hunter, is probably extremely respectable to Aughra.

I apparently don't know anyone that's even heard of Dark Crystal let alone seen it, but I got one friend hooked on the show. He and his gf really liked the first episode. I'm so fucking lonely.

Yeah I feel like its not gonna get renewed.

Just like poor Tuca and Bertie

I think it's Rian

The UrSkeks can only be reunited when the shard is put back into the Crystal during the Great Conjunction when the three suns align to pinpoint the Crystal, and it only happens every 1000 years/trine. So maybe Rian discovers that his attempt will be futile, and only later learn of the Great Conjunction from Aughra or the Prophecy. The showrunners stated that he's separated from the rest of the Gelflings and following darkened Deethra, so maybe he'll try to put the shard in while going on a lone quest/ mission.

I'm thinking the failed attempt is how they know to 'create' the prophecy, like oh shit someone needs to write this down for the next Great Conjunction. Cue 49 Gelflings dreaming on hills.

I think the idea is that he thought skekUng was too worn out to beat him, but the wily old fucker was just hiding his strength.

He may not have been a powerhouse like SkekMal but he did seem to be in better shape than many of the others, even when he was deprived of/saved his essence supply he rarely seemed to show the same fatigue or bodily degeneration than some of the others did

So the last issue of "Beneath the Dark Crystal" (issue 12) revealed that one of the characters in Kensho's adventuring band had prosthetic wings (revealed at a critical moment because he needed to be able to get back to the castle with haste).

My question is, if gelfling developed the tech to give everyone functional wings, why aren't they?

The amount of fanart popping up now bodes well for the series' continuation, I hope.

Just wish we got more cute gelfling gals. I'm not even talking NSFW, I just want more stuff like .

That and the fact that he was a predator. Not some jackass sucking gelflings dry of essence by strapping them to a chair just to keep their rotting overweight carcass of a body alive, he was just someone that killed and probably ate them.
If Thra is anything like earth he's basically just a lion that can talk.

I already did but it turns out that everyone I know has gotten nightmares from the first movie.

Then they'll enjoy the nightmares from the series. Nothing says friendship like watching two slaves desperate for freedom and tenderly sharing a moment of joy be dashed and die horribly in fire and then getting their goddamn head caved in with a metal handle.

How do the wings work

Wasn't he expecting it to be the Ritual Master to step up first?

That said, he picked a feat of strength because that would be beating skekUng at his own game. Outsmarting him wouldn't cow the others from plotting against their new Emperor like outpowering the strongest Skeksi would.

Unspecified. They just appeared to be some sort of binding around the torso.

I don't think the crystal has to be healed during the Great Conjunction, just any time before it happens or is finished. I think that Rian will somehow get mixed up and put the wrong shard in the crystal and then Deet will fuck him up as a result of the crystal backlashing against it.

I still think Rian's attempt will be how the Skeksis find out about the prophecy. For major suffering points.

Best Aminyas Forever.

It was “of course I can fly. I am a girl.” And female gelfling have always had wings, even back in the movie, before “muh strong female characters” was a thing.

I wasn’t interested in this at first either. I didn’t like the movie and in general I dislike the whole aesthetic (puppets have a tendency to turn out really ugly, and I never liked that about them.) But I gave it a shot just to see how the use of practical effects in an era when nearly everything is CG turned out.

I was really impressed and hooked after episode 1, because I really was sold on the use of the effects, the fantasy worldbuilding was well done, the characters and story turned out pretty compelling, but most of all everything to do with the Skeksis and their pure undiluted assholery was a delight to watch. I pretty quickly got over my distaste for the aesthetic design, and now I think the craftsmanship is gorgeous, it works so well in motion.

It's not impossible for habitable planets to exist in triplicate star systems, but it is very unlikely due to the inherent gravitational instability of such a system. The stars themselves have to be in very orderly harmonious orbits or they'd disrupt each-other to the point where the system would probably fly apart. As is the closest blue star isn't even possible, for a star to be blue/purple it must be enormously hot, thus enormously massive, it aught to have been the largest of the suns. The largest could be a G0 or F5 type main sequence star, larger than the sun but still white-yellow in color, with 1.2-2.5 times Sol's apparent luminosity, nearer the end of it's lifespan which could explain it's pronounced size. The red star is probably no larger than a K3, it's luminosity probably wouldn't exceed 20-25% that of the sun. All of them aught to appear smaller in the sky, the largest star should be the blue one, yellow next and then red, and the light would be intense blue-white rather than pretty much the same as Earth's.

That's assuming it has to be realistic though, maybe stars just burn cooler and in different colors in their universe, or more likely the blue star is magic of some kind.

Nah, Bendydick Cucumberpatch is a good actor but not suited to such a gruff voiced character.

It makes a lot more sense if it's not orbiting all three suns simultaneously, like maybe Thra only actually orbits the Greater Sun (the large G-type) which forms a binary with a smaller K-type (Rose Sun) with maybe a T-type companion (Dying Sun).

Prophecies are a real bitch when everyone else involved has absolutely no guarantees saftsy

>you will never pet SkekSil
Feels bad, man

Makes sense, heck they call it a star so I assumed it had to be one but it very well could be a sub-stellar T dwarf or a hot Jupiter which only glows because it's orbiting so close in to the two proper stars, although in that case it would probably leave a pronounced streak of shed atmosphere in the sky.

Despite what people think in these threads, I believe Jen and Kira will be completely unrelated to AoR characters.

I'm fine with that.

That would honestly be better in my opinion. Not every sequel needs to directly latch itself to the original it's setting up backstory to. There's already more than enough character continuity in AoR.

No

It's okay because Power of Dark Crystal and Beneath the Dark Crystal comics aren't canon.

The true reason they kept Gurjin alive. Skektek knew he had the biggest dick of all the Gelfling; the prophesied penis that would unite Seven Clans and the Arathim.

Nah, I think it's pretty natural to have those kinds of existential questions in the face of someone else's death. They saw their friend dying and started wondering what might happen if he did die.

I think it depends on the atmosphere you want in a restaurant, since they're probably equally skilled chefs. A skeksis restaurant probably has drinking and live music and would attract a more boisterous crowd, while a mystic restaurant would be much more calm, with no alcohol and quiet contemplative music at most and maybe a hookah bar in the back, attracting an older and quieter crowd.

he's just mad that nobody likes that godawful sequel shit and tries to defend the fireling nonsense by trying to hide under canonicity.

Firelings are okay from a "Trying to bring something new to the table in a sequel" standpoint, but obviously not interesting enough to carry a story since they also felt the need to clumsily bring back the Skeksis and Mystics for it too.

Power's okay for the novelty of "Curious about what that unmade sequel was gonna be?" angle, but I just don't give a shit about Beneath, especially with art that's so far removed from the Dark Crystal design aesthetic.

No, my idea is based around what the people in charge work on and produce.

Again, not discussing the actual creative merits of the works, bit that we don't pick what's canon.

I think it could easily be argued that if the family of Jim Henson and the company he founded all endorse a story, it is canon. Like all creative works, that canon is subject to change and could be discarded, contradicted, retconned, etc at any time, but I think the family of the deceased creator can have a say in what's canon at least.

This is a 2019 show and is on Netflix. You're telling me it's not pozzed three different ways to Sunday? I want to believe but I'm skeptical. Is it REALLY disease free?

I'm not defending them. I'm saying we don't pick what's canon, shit or not.

The Star Wars prequels are canon but crap, oh well.

so did loads of people that talked to Jim, that doesn't mean any of them can write a sequel fans have to accept or that any of those people couldn't write something that can be overturned
even the puppeteers had some creative input with Jim Henson, that doesn't mean they can tell you some shitty comic they worked on is what happens after the movie

>I'm saying we don't pick what's canon, shit or not
Anyone can free to pick whatever he wants, this isn't some goddamn relgion you dumb cunt.

It is mostly. There's big gay dads.

>Is it REALLY disease free?
nah, there's blight and pustules

>No, my idea is based around what the people in charge work on and produce.
Right, the people in charge because they own the IP. How dense can you be to think your post disagreed with mine? Your view of canon is based on intellectual property law. I stand by my statement that it's a weird way to view art.

>No, my idea is based around what the people in charge work on and produce.
So that would only make the movie as the only canonical source as Jim Henson only worked in the movies and nothing else. You are aware that you're contradicting with yourself, right?

God damn you're a bunch of sad tumblr not muhs.

I would say any filmed works created by the Henson Company are definitively canon, and any written works endorsed by the Henson Company are tentatively canon until a filmed work contradicts them.

no need to bother this much over a wrong person, somebody this retarded could not even pretend to be the opposite of what he is: a retard.

>but I think the family of the deceased creator can have a say in what's canon at least.
So instead of intellectual property laws, you're basing canon on inheritance. As we've seen, the Henson children are not Jim. How can you say that his offspring have more control over canon, vs someone like Frank Oz that performed and directed Dark Crystal? They genetically inherited the canon-making ability? Some chromosomal blessing they posses?

What if I bought the Henson Company and directed a threesome Aughra/SkekLach/Deet scat porn? Would that also make canon?

>i'll just call them tumblr
your view of canon is based on IP law, I don't know why you're shying away from that unless you've realized how absurd it is

I openly reject anything taking place after the events of third conjuction which includes all that fireling nonsense. Just deal with it.

speak plain

Despite having an amazing story, this show won't gain traction. It's not like She-Ra or Stranger Things.

By all means hate it and call it shit. That's far outside my point, utterly subjective, and I haven't read the comics yet anyway.

>I haven't read the comics yet anyway
That would explain the reason of why you openly defend that crap.

>be summoned by god-kings
>one of them calls you ugly
>the other calls you a gelflet
I'd probably break down right then and there.

>this show won't gain traction
Well that's a bleak as fuck prediction
> It's not like She-Ra or Stranger Things
Nigga it doesn't take much to surpass something like She-Ra in popularity, this show will do just fine there. And fucking nothing will probably surpass Stranger Things in popularity so that's a pretty unrealistic metric to compare it to.

Why do you think I'm changing my stance just for Dark Crystal? Why are you inventing a different conversation? Why do you think bringing up other "canons" matters when my argument isn't about Dark Crystal specifically, but how you're basing canon on who owns an IP? Nothing in your post is congruent with what we're talking about, so that tells me you don't even know how to argue your point or dismantle mine.

On a related note, there are obvious issues with having a specific tone in your universe when you start including things like young adult and children's books into "canon." If you have to have a set canon then Lucas actually had a decent idea with his tiered system. If it's all canon because it's lisenced and endorsed by The Jim Henson Company, then I can't wait to come back once the Age of Resistance Tactics game comes out and we can see the Chamberlain's canon stats.

I'm amazed he didn't hang himself.

I don't see canon as some ultimate truth or something. Like another user said, it's not a religion. Canon is just what establishes the influences on the work and helps establish the timeline of events. The show and movie are canon to each other, they exist on the same timeline and inform each other in their worldbuilding and storytelling. These are clearly seen by the creators as the primary works, so any time the show/movie and the books contradict each other, the show/movie's version take precedence, but the rest of the supplemental material can still be assumed to be "true" in the timeline of the show and movie until they are otherwise retconned or contradicted. So again, this isn't some religious crusade, it's just about establishing what supplemental material should be considered as valid within the context of the world and timeline presented by the show and/or movie.

I love having her as my wife.

That doesn't mean they died, they could have found some other way to merge, or escape thra entirely.

I just want them to be happy

Y-yeah, user... I'm sure they made it out... They're living happily among the stars now.

>AAAAAHHhhh

That was a weird scene.

gentle & kind/10

did he die?

when you die on thra you die for real

He was out of practice

Deet will be drained to feed robot crabs

what?

The Jen puppet has a penis.

Yes.

If you ever saw Jurassic Park or Independence Day then you've seen puppets

Proof?

>if they’re gonna watch it at all, it’ll be months from now because they’re too busy to get to it soon

That's pretty much what I expect out of the people I've talked to who have some legitimate interest, but aren't familiar with the movie.

>“It’s like Game of Thrones”
You tell them an anonymous nerd on a Japanese papercrafting forum told you the show is like the first four seasons of Game of Thrones. They'll know what you're talking about, as after that point was when that show's quality tanked.

Maybe their blind Maudra is actually their biological mother. I noticed that her fathers looked pretty old looking.

Anyone else thought Deet's brother was fucking ugly and weird looking?

That would be tragically bitter sweet if it turned out that Brea just finds little baby orphan Kira and dies protecting and hiding her.

What if the Sanctuary Tree raped the Grottan Maudra and then she put the babies up for adoption to distance herself from the trauma?

not the hunter, the gelfling

>It's like Game Of Thrones
Age Of Resistance has more in common with Tolkien than Martin or at least that's what I get from it feeling wise

>GAH!
>BAH!
>CURSE THESE LOW GELFLING CEILINGS!
Best skek

He looked like a potato

>is it actually nothing like GoT?

Not really, but it does have the switching-PoVs-of-different-characters thing the books have.

arent they all?

Honestly, I always felt like he was the real villain of the movie. As the Skeksis' pope, he's basically their real leader, and he's always trying to have the final say in how things go. He was the one who successfully stabbed Kira at the end, and the mother fucker was operated by Jim Henson.

I don't get the same sense of dread whatsoever from him in the show, and his voice was abysmal compared to that magnificent voice of his in the movie.

>that fucking spin the Emperor does
Holy shit my sides

Well, just like most fantasy writer, Tolkien is a big influence for Martin anyway.

Anyone else put off by those CG shots of the hunter leaping through the trees while chasing after protagonist guy and his dad?
He had so much weight and presence whenever he was shown in puppet form, but every time they cut to him doing stupid CGI acrobatics that all went out the window for me.

A bit. First time they used it I wasn't impressed and it felt like they used it too much. Though in later episodes I felt it was better.

Whoever developed CGI initially should be tried and convicted for the murder of an art form. I've had it up to here with this shit.

The emperor is so cute, I wish there was more art pairing him with the Chamberlain

>Jen has a fully modeled penis
>Aughra has visible nipples in the movie
Do you think Kira and Aughra have fully modeled vaginas? Do the AoR puppets have nipples and genitals under their clothing?

I have shilled the show so much my friend wants to watch. He likes puppetry and 80's fantasy stuff, but he found the original movie boring, sans the effects. I really really hope he likes this.

>Seladon gets BTFO and full-on SKEKKED

Is there a bigger piece of shit than Seladon?

>watching the documentary
>actually kind of think the 2016 cgi test gelfling girl is cute

Perfect.

To be fair, the original movie IS pretty boring and the show is far more engaging.

>pain is shared between them
>it is not a stretch, then, to think that other sensations would be shared as well
>by this logic, holding each other may be the closest they feel to being one again

pretty sappy, i know

Again, proof?

She doesn't look related to her family at all.

The mother of Kira.

I was sorely disappointed in the original film but I'm loving the show.

Jen and Kira in season 2
>as kids

I really hope all the skeksis will get a good scene assuming we get season 2. Especially the ones who had no presence in the movie.

It helps my personal theory that Deet will transform into a new Sanctuary Tree and survive the genocide.

I feel bad for the Skeksis.

They're just hungry is all, everyone has to eat to live.

Get off of Yea Forums skekSil

Couldn't believe what I was watching in that scene, or that such a horrible end for those characters was allowed in a "family" rated show.

Attached: 124969234468.jpg (224x225, 25K)

I was hoping she was going to get shit on more for that. Did Seladon honestly expect the Skeksis not to do underhanded shit so long as her sister didn't know about it? How many mental hoops did she had to go through to reach that conclusion? She should been punished more then being so quickly forgiven.

But it's true.

Someone posted a production photo in a previous thread where Jim Henson was working on a table where a naked Jen puppet was stood up and it had a little weenie and sack between its legs. Looked Goku's in Dragonball.

She's pretty tight, I'm lovin it

Hunter and Heretic literally exist to disprove that though

So where's that coarse Kermit cock I've been waiting all my life for?

Yes and the birth of the garthim scene at the end of the episode.

No they dont.

>No they dont.

I like the theory that skeksis could have stayed young/agile if they had just bothered exercising a little.

Attached: 1567902552906.png (1280x457, 143K)

Don't they live a long time regardless? I would assume they will die at some point even if they were cut off. Hunter was said to visit the kingdom so he might have gotten some power from the crystal. I do think you really don't even need that much to sustain yourself but the rest were just gluttons that become too depended on it.

I still think that Skeksises also have an hidden link among themselves. If enough of them get regenerated by the Crystal, then all of them benefit from it.

I think the message of spirituality, environmentalism, and the natural cycle of life and death is much stronger if the skeksis are unnaturally extending their lives using the crystal. Like they all would have died of old age hundreds of years ago if not for draining the crystal and the gelflings and that's why they're basically rotting away in their own bodies. The emperor ends up crumbling to dust because he's extended his life to a point where he's literally completely decomposed while still living because his physical body can't withstand living that long. It's just not the same when they're living a natural length life and just using the crystal and essence to allow themselves to be lazy about it.

I don't think the message can work in the first place when the Skeksis are so fucking cool and you end up rooting for them.

Just how many dicks do the Skek have? That one Skek peed 3 streams.

The emperor was using the darkening for power. It sped up his body decaying much more then the crystal could sustain him. If he hadn't done that he would been a better state like the others. I do think they will all turn to dust if left alone too long.

How many do their counterparts have? How many did their joined original forms have?

Figured he was pissing in 3 streams because old. Old people do that. Or they have 3 dicks.

If it was oldness they wouldnt have come out at different times.

It's not really that much like Game of Thrones, but there are enough similarities that you could make that comparison without being called a liar

3 dicks it is then.

Fair point...

Or maybe he just has holes rotted through his dick or bladder so it sprays out from different spots like a punctured water balloon.
