all of these puppets look like shit. skeksi designs too minimal and the gelflings are too detailed

I'd kill for a complete original language cut.

How the fuck are the Skekses "too minimal"?

Puppets or Green screen. I prefer puppets. Especially when the are muppets.

all the ones in the original were big guys. these prequel skeksis are practically twinks

Skekses aren't bulky beings. Remember when Chamberlain was stripped of his robes and armor in the movie? That's how they all look under their ornamentation. And the series is set a while before the movie before they've really decayed and grown fugly as ass.

The skeksis puppets in the show are LITERALLY bigger puppets than those used in the film. Just watched the doc 5 minutes ago.

That's how it was in the movie, too.

Deet belongs to big podling cock.

The armor and drapery are essentially like turtle shells. This is what they used to look like when young, also they had wings but lost them over time.

I don't think you understand the words you're using

If they made them with more animatronics or even CGI you'd be all like 'the magic is lost!'

Don't lie.

that looks like something someone would draw on deviant art and others would jerk off to. gay and retarded

the gelflings in the original film had a simpler design facial, these seem to have more developed/detailed facial features around the nose and lips and eyelids. also the skin looks a lot more plastic/waxy. the skeksis in the original are also big decrepit decadent and bejeweled bird monsters while the newer ones are smaller and just have a couple spikes and stuff sticking out. they all look to clean too.

Watching a fantasy series is the same thing was watching your fetish porn?

They have less detail because one was from a movie 30 years ago and the new one is in HD with a lot more close-ups and they also needed more acting in the face this time around. Jim wasn't completely satisfied with the originals limited acting range because it was so simple and he wanted more humanistic expression. Also the Skeksis are nearly the same designs and the puppets are bigger than the originals, what are you talking about?

Didn't they try putting in servos for facial animation in the film's puppets but they didn't work right?

I definitely wouldn’t, I thought the Gelflings were the worst part of the original too. The intro to the original has that scene where the Skeksis are all gawking at the crystal and the Mystics are performing their ceremony and the detail in their facial movements are so amazing and natural to the point where you forget they’re puppets. Then Jen shows up and he’s so stiff and awkward he looks like he’s made of wood.

There must be a way to keep the Gelfling design intact while making them a bit more expressive and natural looking

He can't watch anything without thinking about black cock, he has a problem

That seems to be a problem prevalent throughout Yea Forums.

You're wrong on an objective level about the size of the skeksis.

I never saw the original and im watching it, and it's great.

There have been quite a few threads about it, they usually just have HMMMM in the OP

I fast forwarded through a lot of the movie because you could tell it was jsut self indulgent "look what we can do with puppets". The show doesn't bother with this, it gets to the point and is your typical "high" quality netflix show.

Boomer take: I miss the dreamlike film bloom the original had desu.
The new series is too clean and crisp.

That's everything shot on analog though.

what's your point?

>TwinksisGangBang.jpg

I mean, it's not really anything like Lord of the Rings. There's no one ring, no ring wraiths, no volcano or body-less dark lord.

There are a metric ton of inconsistencies between the series and the original movie, but honestly the series is still one of the most ambitious attempts at a fantasy series in years, so it's easy to forgive.

>There are a metric ton of inconsistencies between the series and the original movie
No there aren't, you dumb faggot.

>There are a metric ton of inconsistencies between the series and the original movie
liike?

>There are a metric ton of inconsistencies between the series and the original movie
Tonally? Yeah I could absolutely see that. Lore-wise? Aside from some VERY minor retconning, it's pretty damn consistent.

Kira still looks better than any of the girls in the prequel series. I think it has to do with the material they used to cover the inner workings of the faces. The new ones are a bit too plastic-like. Not to say Kira didn't have issues, some of the prequel aspects are improved, but Kira has too little detail in her skin.

There's a happy medium between the prequel approach and the movie approach to Gelflings that they need to find.

I wouldn't go so far as a metric ton but the general does die

Man I need to rewatch the movie, but I'm saving it til I finish off the series. Something about the movie puppets just works better. I like the prequel series don't get me wrong but there's something missing and I'm not sure what.

>No ID? No party.

Attached: ID, not IDeet.jpg (785x541, 215K)

that's a different general.

The Movie is also on Netflix. Give it a watch after the series. Some of its visual effects (particularly green screen compositing) don't work so well, but otherwise it still holds up very well.

The score from the original film is fucking amazing. Sometimes I put that on in the background when working. I highly recommend it for the puppets and music alone.

I think the voice actors did a pretty good job. Fit the characters pretty well, not like beyonce in lion king

It was cool to actually see him use his other set of arms the way we've always seen the Mystics doing. I'm assuming the Archer Mystic is his counterpart, but I haven't finished the series yet (dont tell me, ill see or not on my own)
I'm kind of disappointed that the series didn't start before the Crystal cracked. I wanted to see these guys fall to arrogance and bust the crystal themselves.

"My baSED."

Aughra is the worst thing about the prequels. She's like an entirely different character in the movie. Shes all about this guardian stuff in the series but she and most characters in the series seem to have no clue any of the series shit happened. Like Jen I expect not to know shit, but no one else seems to know shit either in the movie when it comes to all the stuff the series is doing.

The biggest thing is absolutely Aughra just being so completely disconnected from being the guardian. Thats not even a thing in the movie the crystal doesnt even seem to have anything to do with her or the planet in the movie it seems to only have a link to the Skeksis and Mystics. Having it be otherwise in the series is super fucking jarring.

And dont tell me to go read the comics or watch behind the scenes shit. If it's not in the actual film it doesnt fucking exist. A film needs to stand on its own and it does but it doesnt match up with the series.

>Simon Pegg is the motherfucking Chamberlain
I still can't hear it.

It's good you can't hear the actor, no matter the actor, and only the character. You should hear the character, never the actor.

I've only seen the series and the film after, my understanding is that she always forgets shit.

he did a great job. Most of them did. With the few exceptions, you could hardly tell who the voice actor was most of the time (even andy samberg did a good job). It's sucks that hamill has such a distinct voice that you can easily pick it out, but even then he did a good job.

I imagine pegg was pretty happy to get to play that part. Chamberlain is a terrible horrible evil thing, but god damn if he isn't entertaining to watch in movie and series alike. He's the main villain really especially by the movie period. The series and movie are as much his stories as they are the stories of the heroes.

Has it ever been confirmed that it's the urSkeks that Chamberlain turns into (along with his mystic counterpart) that speaks to Jen at the end of the film?

>The biggest thing is absolutely Aughra just being so completely disconnected from being the guardian.
Right...? That's literally a plot point in the entire canon. Are you bad at watching and retaining information, user?
>the crystal doesn't seem to have anything to do with her
She literally says in the movie that she and the crystal are connected.

I absolutely agree, I just never in my life would've believed that's Simon Pegg just from watching it and still can't, which is nice. Unlike Luke Skywalker doing the Joker voice for the billionth time.

I still can't remotely comprehend how Keegan-Michael Key is the Ritual Master. I couldn't make out his voice at all.
Also, Andy Samberg is a dead ringer for Frank Oz's voice honestly.

Yes it is the plotpoint of the canon if you read and watch every little background detail in the world. It's only the series that's ever actually used it though. Watch the movie in the vacuum, then the series, and you'll be completely lost. Because the guardian thing and the crystal being the heart of thra are entirely absent from the movie.
>says she and the crystal are connected
Only in the fucking rerelease. Watch the original cut I still have it on VHS from back in the day. That shit was added later. Only no one talks about it because until recently hardly anyone even knew what the dark crystal was.

Hell the only real version is the one completely in alien languages with subtitles that they weren't allowed to release so even the VHS version is off.

>If it's not in the actual film it doesnt fucking exist
We still don't know what canon means?

>Keegan-Michael Key is the Ritual Master
I honestly couldn't pick it out till I read the cast list, knowing it though you can tell it's mostly just his speaking voice pitched way downward.

>. Because the guardian thing and the crystal being the heart of thra are entirely absent from the movie.
The first 30 fucking seconds of the film talks about how Thra and the Crystal are connected. Are you pretending to be a retard?

If it's not in the film, it doesn't exist. Expecting an audience to follow every little comic book and story and behind the scenes idiocy is stupid. It's either in the movie or it's not and if it's not in the movie and the series acts like this shit is leading to the movie which that shit is plainly not in then the series shouldn't have done it.

>Hell the only real version is the one completely in alien languages with subtitles that they weren't allowed to release
DEEPEST LORE HOLY SHIT

Stupid argument aside. I wish they'd released that version as a director's cut. I just want to experience it for myself and decide if that would have worked.

>If it's not in the film, it doesn't exist.
Oh, so you actually don't know what canon means? You don't get to tell Jim Henson what his fucking lore is, zoomer

It's way darker: ruling jews are an ancient aristocratic bloodline that thrives on making goys squabble amongst themselves while skimming the cream and taking bloodsacrifices to prolong tjeir lives.

Lmao, I bet those fags are furries and watch mlp.

The Dark Crystal was always retarded.

I think people expected more consistency out of them with the books basically being developed in conjunction with the new series and the author of the books being one of the writers on the show.

I just think it's more of a typical "Book series was developed with early show outlines with the intention of being the B-Plot to the show's A-Plot, but things shifted as the TV show went into production" situation. It's especially apparent with how Deet just kinda shows up in the last couple chapters of the last book just to be there for the battle at Stonewood.

That's a comic artist's interpretation and not a great one at that, too heavily influenced by what they look like in the film.
>The Skeksis had scaley, reptilian bodies, with beak-like jaws and hooded eyes.[4] Like their urRu counterparts, they had four arms and a tail. When they first appeared, the Skeksis were vibrant, agile and brightly coloured creatures,[3] though in the later years of their reign, their secondary arms became withered and atrophied,[1] and their bodies decayed.

Mother Aughra even remarks about how the Hunter used to be the most beautiful of the skeksis in age of resistance so that should tell you they didn't come into the world old and wrinkly.

Attached: Youngskeksis.jpg (269x328, 32K)

The Skeksis are broad enough for anyone to interpret them as "the Man keeping me down", whether that's a millennia old Levantine blood conspiracy or a cabal of ultrawealthy WASP oil executives.

As long as it tells people "your representatives are being controlled by inhuman vampires who will feed on you and your planet's lifeblood and lie to your face about it", it's a good message.

So were Skeksis the original body and the Mystics just split from them?

no

Did you never see the end of the movie?

holy shit podlings are real?

No never watched the movie, but I already looked it up, Urskeks.

I just watched the first episode and I'm pretty confused about the lore. Why are the Skeksis worshipped? They 'protect' the crystal, but what does that mean?

they are usually called British

>can I take the Crystal?
>No fuck off

The Skeksis came later and convinced everyone to give them the crystal, but why?

>thunderbolt fantasy
>spend tons of time and effort creating puppet-based action/drama series unlike anything that has been created before
>still has the same generic animu opening that every other weebshit show has
This is why the East shouldn't be allowed to create media anymore. I mean, the West shouldn't either, but for different reasons; I feel like the West is what happens when there's too much interest and corporate regulation fucking up the creative process, and the East is like when there isn't enough general interest in media, so nothing is ever held to any standard and only has to appeal to the lowest common denominator. It's like two completely different scenarios that both have the outcome of producing shit quality media.

They giv Ogra a nice lab and they promised to protect the Crystal so she agreed and leave then take care of it meanwhile she was studying the stars

As it's presented in the show, they showed up from space and said "Aughra, you need to spend a few millennia astral projecting yourself into space, we'll keep the Crystal healthy while you're out".

The movie makes it seem a lot different, but I guess they'll resolve that in season 2.

Aughra*

That doesn't explain what makes them special though. The way they talk about the Skeksis is as if the crystal would fall apart if it weren't for them.

That's because the Skeksis keep telling them so. When Aughra ran the show she basically just invented weed for the podlings and prevented invasive species problems, like a planetary gardener. The gelflings don't know how any of it works so they believe the benevolent lizard overlords.

They are aliens that come from the space with a superior techno and magic when basically everyone in Thra were ugga buggas

So it's a 'The Man
who Would be King' situation, I guess that makes sense.

I mean they really are incredibly long-lived space aliens with arcane technology, and they must have made a pretty good impression. Maybe when they first showed up they were genuinely compassionate, and that just eroded with time and indulgence.

In the movie they arrived as UrSkeks, who were more or less good guy space aliens, but then they broke the crystal as an experiment and it divided them into the Skeksis and Mystics, and the Skeksis basically stole the crystal outright. It doesn't match perfectly with the new lore from the show.

Formerly they were another advanced and enlightened non-evil race that helped to educate and technologically advance the gelfling. Then they were split into the urru and the skeksis. Still not diabolicly ugly, there was no reason not to trust them as they were still willing to assist everybody.

>It doesn't match perfectly with the new lore from the show.
I'm sure it's the same lore but right now we only know the gelflin version

>literally just Andy Samberg doing his retard voice

Fucked my immersion pretty good there.

Attached: andy.png (446x559, 262K)

No, the UrSkeks split themselves in a botched experiment to purge their negative qualities and in the chaos that ensued, a Skeksis broke the crystal.

When the Mystics, Aughra and Raunip retreated from the castle, the Skeksis began presenting themselves as a race the urSkeks chose to watch over the Crystal and as time went on, Gelflings forgot about the urSkeks entirely.

>Maybe when they first showed up they were genuinely compassionate, and that just eroded with time and indulgence.

I don't think the Skeksis had evil intentions in the beginning they most likely relished in their newfound selfness but the fear of death compelled them to take bolder and bolder actions to prolong their life.

Are you also a Star Wars EU fag? You have to face the fact that not everything is going to be canon in every different piece of media that comes out for an IP. Literally everything will have discrepancies. Stop being an autist. A novel is just over person telling the story with minimal information to start with. A TV show has several writers figuring out the story from a basic outline. It's inevitable that things will be different between them.

Aren't they inherently bad though, with them being the bad side of the urSkeks?

All we really know from the movie is the little clip of a figure hitting the Crystal with a mallet, and the narration at the end. I never read the novels or comic books, so I don't know how much of that stuff is canon.

that was unsettling

They look exactly the same dude

As I recall they had some attributes that aren't necessarily evil. They received the UrSkeks' passion and will and creativity, while the Mystics basically went borderline catatonic and indifferent a lot of the time. There's some moral about accepting yourself fully, I guess.

Also, a lot of the discrepancies come down to how they handle the "Tavra gets body hijacked by spiders" storyline and the show writers probably thought that was too cool of a concept to stay in Naia's off-screen B-Plot and it had greater opportunities in serving the story of the Princess Sisters.

I thought it was sorta jazzy

How do the mystics prolong life? Is it because they are tied to the Skeksis they are compelled to live on?

Why didn't the gelfling simply kill all the skekses when they had them surrounded ?

skeksis literally did nothing wrong. fanatic environmentalists standing in the way of science should be genocided.

gelflings? more like geldings. they are completely powerless

Ive seen the original film puppets and the prequels at exhibitions. The prequel ones are bigger in size actually.

its on torrents seek it

Because its generally nitpicked stuff by people who dint watch the series all the way through. I saw some twat review who said "watched first 10 minutes and shut it off..not as good as original film"

>a show literally about a race of hook-nosed scheming villains trying to steal the lifeforce of the native races to avoid being sent to an eternal void of nothingness

I know they kept the designs to be respectful, but they look fucking terrible and that's likely why it flopped in the first place

I haven't finished the season yet, is there a possibility for a second season or is everything set up for the movie at the end?

you're gay
you can expect a second season, not everything is resolved for the movie at the end

But it worked for a vulture artificer, so fuck you.

They've effectively set it up for a full on war. This season was just the initial uprising, trying to convince the other gelfling to fight the skesis.

Only you, faggot. Try hard somewhere else.

Same girl?

They're resisting metaphors for Jews, not white people.

How do they even mass produce these? aren't the Arathim hostile and the Gruenaks an endangered species?

Can't believe this garbage movie has 200 replies

Pretty sure just fucking Anya Taylor-Joy would come pretty close

Try watching it first before talking shit.

OP is proof that retards always have the loudest opinions

Kira is your childhood crush.
Deet is your dirty adult she'd bang like the crack whore she looks like crush

Should I watch the movie or directly this (saw it in theaters and I was a kid so I don't really remember anything)?

Why is Yea Forums always so cringy and tryhard when something is even moderately popular and enjoyable.

the movie it's recommended but not a need

There are multiple reasons to watch the movie first, not remembering it is one of them

Yeah so does augra.
The other mystic side of the general wasn't shown....he was also stabbed by the crystal sword which stole some of his essence....the general will return

My guess is they were made the most generically humanoid because they’re supposed to be your MCs. It probably does make them easier to “identify” with at the cost be being much more boring than the minor characters.

Season 2 when? This is one of the few Netflix shows that is pure kino.

(((deet)))

what's a drumpfcel

I'm pretty sure the skeksis are supposed to be the MCs.

I think it did pretty well Lisa Henson should be proud to have made something so close to her father's legacy

When are you going to kill yourself and stop being obsessed with /pol/nigger boogeymen?

The Skeksis keep brainwashing the clans to believe that. Christ, do you not get the subtext of the show at all? It's all pomp and theatrics with them. They aren't retarded either, they are articulate and well-spoken. Their evil is in their cunning. Imagine if a nearly-omniscient being came down from space and started to advance your civilization by thousands of years. You wouldn't really see them as evil after the split.

I have a blu-Ray that I’m pretty sure has some of those scenes as bonus features, but I could be mistaken

There are a few candidates that are close, some of them even do the voices.

>they have no lines, appear in three seconds of screentime and do absolutely fucking nothing
>still triggers some /pol/faggot
of course it does.

>metaphors for Jews
No, they are metaphor for the Koch brothers.

>only to have the show completely toss out that continuity and change whatever it wants.
I doesn't do that. At all.

The General (skekVar) from the show is a different character than the Garthim Master (skekUng) who appears in the movie, although he was also referred to as "the General" at some point. The General from AoR is dead though. The Garthim Master will appear in Season 2. He was one of the Skeksis that was away from the castle, they mentioned him by name.

All three new Skeksis that weren't in the movie - the General, the Collector (skekLach) and the Hunter (skekMal) - died in the season finale. Other Skeksis who are in the movie but not the show are the Slave Master (skekNa) and the Treasurer (skekShod).

Lore in this show isn't that deep if you catch my drift

There porn yet?

>4 episodes in
>3 out of 4 have had something horrific happen to a character onscreen in vivid detail
Holy fuck I missed kids' shows like this.

It feels nice to watch something that isn't full of blood or cursing, but still has death as a regular occurrence in the show. Nice change of pace.

Fuck off zoomer, this show is pure kino.

So i can imagine the bird jews are going to win and the down syndrome elves are going to die, since in the original there are still bird Jews, and only one downy elf.

Kevin Clash is inside the suit (he also performs Aughra and the General), but the voice of the Hunter is Ralph Ineson.

He's good at throwing

Why doesn't the protagonist Chamberlain have more screen time?

I get a serious kick out of the late 80s/early 90s style uncomfortable scenes.

Especially around 1.40, it's so theatrically evil and over the top with all the practical effects and Mark Hamill's joker voice I love it

you know what user? you might actually be right, because they even say so in the movie itself!

Fucking answer me

I'm at episode 6 and I'm loving, the politics are surprisingly based and nuanced.

Love it

>So i can imagine
But that’s straight up canon user

The original is AFTER 50 years of hedonism. This is literally attention to detail!

For me it was Rian's dad's death. Not only was he eaten alive by worms onscreen but his typical brave fantasy sacrifice was revealed seconds later to have achieved absolutely nothing and in fact made everything significantly worse than it was before. I was actually taken aback a little.

>edgy muppets
This combination of words is probably the funniest thing I've read all week

That, but also drinking Brea's essence in front of Rian. That's so fucking cold and evil lmao

Brea, I mean Mira*

There's only one thing I'm iffy on, and that is why Brea went from giving the Skeksis hugs to wanting them gone within like an hour. Did I miss something? Sure the necklace thing was bad but was it really enough for such a massive change?

You are retarded. The Skeksis are actually bigger/fatter in the show. You are just misremembering them due to nostalgia. And the one thin Skeksis you were commenting on is the Emperor, who in the movie is literally a crumbling skeleton.

Yea Forums How do we protect this smile?
