Is this really happening...

you can tell someone is retarded when they use "leftist"
it's a calculated subversion to make being left or liberal sound more evil

More idiots ruining perfectly good stories by jamming in incompatible personal notes which will be meaningless in a fee years. The whole deal with the Garthim was that nobody could fight them. The totalitarian power of the Skekses was what made them scary.

This movie is a secret garden. I love its atmosphere. A comfy dream.

Glorious exposition, comrade. You can just tell that this guy hasn't read Feuerbach and isn't qualified to distinguish Marxism from Marxism-Leninism.

How the hell are they going to do Aughra? I mean, how is Aughra not a mammy?

>obsessed

It's shit like this, that makes people think you're insane.

Nope. No sequel is happening.

It's a prequel that seems to take place just before, and during, the period of wars and slaughter that came of the Skeksis learning that a Gelfling would one day be their undoing. Which of course only happens because they wiped out the Gelflings, causing the two Gelflings of the Dark Crystal timeline movie to have a motivation to do the things they did. Without the Gelfling slaughter, there's no motivation. They were rulers and warlords, certainly, but not really any worse, or better, than any other Warlord rulers in actual history.

>Implying leftist aren't evil

It's full of CGI, fuck off.

do you really believe that people with different politics are "evil"?

>my family and friends who believe in different sports team-tier political groups are "le evil" because they don't want to hang those dirty niggers and suck off billionaires

You can be a conservative, but don't pretend you're not on the dark side. Leftists aren't the ones destroying the environment and climate just to make money while hating everyone who is different from them. Conservatives are cartoon villains and should just embrace their role.

Why not? They don't think the way I do and I'm a good guy.

you're either a complete brainlet or no older than 13 if you don't have the mental faculties to empathize with people who think differently than you. Shit.

Leftism is single handedly responsible for the largest ecological disaster in human history, Chernobyl. So miss me with that gay shit comrade.

You know this is a prequel right? Gelflings are gonna get BTFO

They're only using CG for the handful of full-body shots they would have used a midget in a costume for in the 80s. Everything else is all traditional puppetry work or using greenscreen bunraku techniques to remove performers and give the puppets a freer range of movement.

Chernobyl was a local disaster, it's utterly insignificant compared to large-scale deforestation, plastic-filled oceans and greenhouse gas emissions caused by conservative policies letting greedy corporations do as they please.

As an outsider, I've always found it curious, that the state's with the uber-rich (NY, cali) always vote Democrat , as do the whitest states in the north east/north west. While poorer states with more minorities tend to go red?

The voice acting is fantastic, watched episode 1. It's weirdly like game of thrones but the characters are so innocent when it gets dark it's brutal haha

It also gets frustrating when no one will Dreamfast with Rian, I get the plot point of it but it really makes you want to yell at them to trust him.

The Skeksis are the Republicans and Gelflings are the democrats

So has anyone complained that all the Gelflings are white yet? Few of them are voiced by blacks but none of the puppets have been black so far.

Honestly it's not bad, not as good as the movie but it's pretty fun. I'm about halfway through and my biggest issues so far are completely unnecessary re-used dialogue from the movie that doesn't make sense in context and serves no purpose other than to remind us of things we remember (pretty much all prequels do this) and a few hamfisted attempts at satire/social comentary. The worst is when one of the Skeksis just says "SAD!" at a gelfling. Gee I wonder who that's supposed to be. Also when Aughra starts going on about "the resistance" and "the spark that lights the fire" I wanted to shoot myself. Has any other generation been as desperate for a dragon to slay than this one? The constant complaining and virtue signaling. Every single piece of media being about "the resistance". It really is quite pathetic.

As soon as Hup came on screen I thought "And now here comes an Italian to save the day."

Hup is by boy though, he's great.

See, I dunno if they have the balls to go full Spartacus with this. They've already mentioned multiple different fates and even changing the future. Do you really think Netflix would introduce all these characters and then just kill them all off? I have a terrible feeling in my gut they are going to make the original movie an alternate future.

It'd be the worst thing ever but this is Netflix we are talking about.

To me it makes me think of colonial rule desu, even Austro-Hungarian incest Habsburgs and the people's they subjugated in Central Europe

I never saw the first movie, so the re-used dialogue and nostalgia harvesting segments were lost on me.

>when Aughra starts going on about "the resistance"
I haven't got to this scene yet, but so far any social commentary or cringe dialogue I put it down to being for the kids, you know, like every movie with "muh hope will save us" tropes.

If anything, the female leadership of the World is a redpill. They don't seem very competent and are entirely brainwashed to being nothing more than vassals.

>Spartacus
As far as I know it's a prequel, but not a 'direct' contiguous prequel, so there'll probably be a happy ending. I would totally love a grim ending though. Like the sinking of Numenor in the second age of Lord of the Rings.

Overall the World and music is comfy as fuck.

agreed, that's why i just call those faggots democrats.

recently got a TPB subscription, sweet deal, first 2 months are free (the others are too)

Outsider as well, but view it this way, Dems represent the professional nouveau riche, so typically elements of wall street, tech, Hollywood etc.
Republicans represent landed elite and old money, so landowners, big energy, arms manufacturing, old banks, Waltons, old Media so News Corp etc.

Different sides of capital with different objectives and goals and often in competition with eachother. You also see this battle in how like, tax avoidance of big energy or mainstream media is never brought up, but there is huge attacks on google and Amazon, it's the old landed/media elite attacking the new rich tech elite.
What matters though is both parties are largely for capital, both are neoliberal economically and give almost zero shits about the average guy. Normal people vote Republican frankly over largely retarded social views (abortion) or lack of education, people vote Democrat because they can't see anything better.
This is why as an outsider, at least Bernie is a breath of fresh air as both sides of the mainstream seem to despise him and he seems to be only looking out for the little guy. If I was in the US I would vote in a heartbeat for Bernie.

The funny thing about The Dark Crystal is that the Skeksis, Gelflings etc are canonically tiny. The Garthim are about the size of very large dung beetles, and the Gellfings about the size of mice. If a human being were to land on the planet of the Dark Crystal he'd be able to push the Skeksis tower right over - it's about the size of a termite mound.

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

I’m am extremely impressed with what they’ve done to bring Thra to life.

When it works, gets their stride right I mean - and it frequently does, it doesn’t look like puppetry, CGI or costumes. It looks real. Or maybe that’s just my 5 year old brick of a television talking.

*Spoilers*

I'm honestly really liking the Skeksis as villains here, you definitely have more reasonable ones like the Chamberlain who urges for moderation on sacrificing the Gelflings and can throw up at least a basic defense of his actions when confronted by Rian as compared to the general who just wants to kill em all, to ones that are at least capable of showing some decency like Scroll Keeper finding a kindred spirit in Brea's love of books and the Ritual-Master being displeased with General's lack of social grace as he eats the symbol of one of the Gelfling clans in their faces.

>The urSkeks were a race of creatures not native to Thra, characterised by their tall, luminescent appearance, psychic abilities, and collectivist society. A group of non-conformist urSkeks, known as Fallen urSkeks, were banished from their homeworld to Thra during the planet's first Great Conjunction. After nine hundred and ninety-nine and one trine of attempting to reform themselves, and influence the cultural development of Thra's sentient races, the urSkeks sought to purify themselves through the power of the Great Crystal during the second Great Conjunction. In so doing, each of the Fallen urSkeks inadvertently divided themselves into two separate beings; the violent, materialistic Skeksis, and the gentle, contemplative urRu.

>thinks the right is the one "buying off presidents" and "clawing into government administrations"
have you been living in a cave for the past two decades? The right has had zero influence in anything of importance for a while now, and everything has gone to shit as a result. The climate change thing might be a problem in the US, but is mostly an apolitical issue in the rest of the world.
The left has consistently fucked over everyone it's gotten involved with in recent times. The world's most feminist places are now having rape epidemics because of glorious "tolerant" leftist policies. The world's most socialist places are always the most unequal. The left is either grossly incompetent, or actively evil - due to how they seem to use their chokehold on every big corporation and media outlet to silence people who complain about their decisions or brand them wrongthinkers - read: HERETICS - and destroying their lives in the process, I`m pretty sure evil it is.
Judging by how you think the rightwing is raysis, I can tell they brainwashed you too.
"Conservatives" are a mess too and just another wing of the same shitbird. They're nothing but the left's controlled opposition.

Jim stated that the women in the world of the dark Crystal are the most crucial to the story when making it. Don't normally defend this kind of stuff but it did come out of his mouth almost 40 years ago. Can't complain that the show runs with that idea too

Can you prove him wrong or provide other examples?
Go look at statistics for donation to party or charities amongst the employees of the most valued tech companies out there.
Go ahead, I'll (and that other poster you replied to) will probably wait.

PS: Trump's donations were majority independents, whereas Hilldog had numerous huge PACs and tech companies donate to her.
I imagine you don't remember the 60m+ donation to the Obama campaign in 2008 from Netflix chairs, eh?

True, but the idea for it was started by him. He and his daughter were trapped in New York during a snow storm. He got out a pen and starting jotting down notes at a hotel lobby.

I knew no one could hate on this. Holy shit this show is fucking amazing.

PUPPETS

I'll probably start it tomorrow. I also feel like rewatching the movie beforehand, it's been a bunch of years

What I find funny is that you couldn't help yourself from shitposting, and you still can't help but be hyped like a little soifag.

Why do I need to retort something so fucking retarded as "Republicans haven't been in control in decades"? Did you fall for muh deep state Alex Jones cuckoldry? Fuck off you underage faggot. You aren't smart.

I watched the first episode, I'm good so far. I was waiting for them to destroy this, like they have everything else, but so far, so good. I was worried because Froud wasn't involved, but it's faithful to his style.

I'm not doing this /pol/shit with you and your debunked arguments everyone's heard a million times now. Nobody cares.

The whole Froud family was involved on the project.

Were they? He's not credited. That's good to hear - and that's why it looks good, if Brian was consulting/working on it. Glad to be wrong about that.

>now we're talking about tech companies, not Hollywood

He has some stock in streaming services, that's all I can even think about. Christ, you people are so fucking lost it's insane.

Soul overload. I can't take more than one episode, I would be spoiling myself.

This show is crafted as fuck

Did they even have a fucking budget? Holy shit.

Yup, lost my stiff and had to re-lube every time some bullshit cgi came up

yep, I'm thinking it's kino lads

Watched some of the first episode really late last night. The sets and puppets are fucking amazing. It was almost hard for my brain to process because it's rare to see high quality shit like that.

Yeah, this is one of the few shows I'm actually going to sit down and watch. I rarely do that these days.

Netflix would make so much fucking money if they made the good shows come out on a weekly basis. But don't show them this.

mmmMMMMMMmmm

>Go in expecting Drumpf
>End up with global pedophile elite
It's fanfiction-tier, but I'll give it a few more episodes.

10 minutes in and I have been dissapointed by the use of CG and the fact that they dont mention yet the Skeksis are only one half of the creatures that came to thra. That and they havent mentions the split of the Skeksis and the others. I knew I would be disappointed, and as I watch and type theirs a bit of feminism going on already.

you're the biggest virgin in the entire world

Wow you are butt hurt easily. fuckin nostalgia faggots.

This makes no sense when the supreme beings are ALL MALE.

>carefully and lovingly crafts show entirely out of puppets, a love letter to Jim Henson and his legacy
>they used CG here and there, fucking gay and disappointing LOL *watches Joker trailer*

UrSkeks come from a white, luminescent world of white male superiority. Clearly they are a metaphor for the patriarchy.

you people see trannies everywhere.

Well considering that Netflix couldn't even make a sequel to a 90s cartoon (Rockos Modern Life) without turning the whole thing into some retarded leftist propaganda about trans people, can you blame people for being skeptical about everything else?

>Rockos Modern Life on Netflix was leftist propaganda because a frog cartoon was a tranny, despite the joke being that frogs are multisexed
You're a ridiculous person that nobody in real life takes seriously. I hope you come to terms with that.

Is this real life? or is just fantasy?

ah the ol' "everything I don't like is propaganda" meme argument.

The Rocko movie was completed in 2017 and Netflix merely bought the streaming rights. Blame the creator for that one.

>I didn't watch the show
>climate change is about fuck drumpf now
Again, you're just obsessed. Look at your fucking life where you can't even watch a puppet show.

explain why it personally offends you that a minor character from a rebooted Rocko movie on fucking Netflix, is somehow an affront to your sensibilities to the point where you have to actively complain about it? I really don't understand how someone like you gets this bootyblasted by media like this. Most normal people see things they dislike and shrug it off "oh, okay. Whatever, I didn't like it". Not you though, you need to come here and cry about it for hours and hours as if a tranny cartoon frog raped your parents and is something I need to be up in arms about.

I'd say to have sex, but it's too late.

THIS IS AMAZING 10/10!

But I can't shake the feeling this should have a been a full blown movie instead

why do you give a shit about the opinions of literal whos? Christ, if the message is about climate change than I didn't see it, or it doesn't take away from the main story. Maybe you should fucking watch it and stop acting like a pissbaby bitch?

yes, your'e obsessed. It's always obsession. You don't have rational beliefs.

Its. So. Good. Its so good, how did they make this happen? How did it all actually work? The world, the sets, the characters, the story, the acting, everything worked. There's so much detail and care in every puppet, there's so much life in the little details all around, the characters are more memorable and fleshed out then the original, there's actual stakes and our main characters are in danger, every tribe has its own little functioning system and feels distinct. How did this actually manage to work? I'm not going to pretend Netflix is giving us some great boon from above for us pitiful mortals, but in all honesty if they fucked it up I would have just shrugged, gone "Of course, its fucking netflix", and moved on, but they didn't. Its not just good, its legitimately great and seamless with the original. Before they burn away all goodwill with The Witcher, I'm gonna say bravo, they knocked this one right out of the park.

Everyone involved with this should be damn proud of themselves.

how the fuck are they making these conclusions?

The Hollywood Reporter is a blogsite, nobody fucking reads it. What is with this hill you're dying on?

>10 episodes

I thought today was only the first one then the next one comes out next week?

So is the argument that Henson's message about climate change (which you could even argue was present in the original film, with the corruption of the environment and Jim being a conservationist) is now bad because you can't handle even a nuanced message about it in current year? What a baby you are.

You're the one having a fit about a tranny cartoon frog, user.

Climate change isn't real and if it was it's not caused by humans and if it was then the indians and africans pollute more than the rest of t

Nah, Netflix drops them all at once.

Along with Variety, The Hollywood Reporter is the newspaper of record in the entertainment industry, you sad idiot.

They don't? I'm not sure what your argument is.

Nobody literally reads any of those except for maybe Variety. Why are you so bootyblasted at this?

Because your anus will be expanded

Oh, did this guy make the show?

I fucking hate this faggot.

No, just your typical blue checkmark journalist with terrible opinions.

user again, you're the one who brought up the cartoon tranny frog...

>a mild and very tame enviornmental message that Jim shared in the original Dark Crystal almost 4 decades ago, is "shoehorning"
go neck yourself for being such a useless NPC reactionary.

>Climate change isn't real

Its the only thing they think about. Its like that dude who yelled out Trump when Chapelle asked him who he was doing an impression of. The impression had nothing in common with Trump but it was negative so he defaulted to his scapegoat for everything negative in the world.

Why do you care what these literal nobodies think about politics? Why have their opinions saved in folders for? Why all this energy? The blog writer for The Hollywood Reporter didn't write the scripts, didn't produce the show.

I don't.

Why do you think I'm the same guy who posted that Hollywood reporter article?

> The Hollywood Reporter, entertainment media's flagship outlet, saw record-breaking audience growth in 2017, with 21.5 million unique monthly visitors to its website THR.com

If you don't know anything -- even the basics -- about the media industry, this may not be the / for you.

>> The Hollywood Reporter, entertainment media's flagship outlet

lol nobody reads webzine media in the throngs they used to, how old are you zoomer?

>If you don't know anything -- even the basics -- about the media industry, this may not be the / for you.
None of you know anything about the media industry at all, you think it's all a "leftist" cabal of Marxist Jews trying to destroy you with trannies and "muh propegandeer" because a puppet show for literal tardlings has a message about conservation.

You're mentally ill, friendo.

The Dark Crystal is my favorite movie of all time and your post made me slightly less afraid of pressing the Play button on this show.

more eco destruction happened in socialist countries

>reactionary
imagine being brainwashed by leftist cult terms that mean nothing

Was my dads favorite movie. Its pretty good. My literal only complaint so far is augrah's planetarium thing is not a full mechanical mechanism and its cgi but they had alot more on their plate than that one establishing shot. The original was probably dismantled or so rusted it isnt functional. Also that level of engineering doesnt exist in spades like it did in the 80s-90s because they had to make due with what they had back then and now we have more bodies in cinima fx instead of cinema engineering. It was a cost effective choice

>cult terms that mean nothing
>AHH LEFTISTS LEFTISTS LEFTISTS WAHH WAHHH I'M NOT A REACTIONARY AHHHH!!

Leftism is an actual term with real meaning.
Reactionary completely lost it's original meaning and is used by socialists/marxists to mean anyone against their retarded bootlicking ideology.

>Leftism is an actual term with real meaning.
kek, you could have fooled me, you think every liberal/progressive/leftist/communist are all the same person who believe the same boogeyman thing.
>only Marxists and other memes listed (here) would call me a reactionary
Maybe you are one though? Is that not an option? Self-reflection is the sign of maturity, user.
