The weird puppet creatures in shoes like this make me feel physically ill. I can't stand them.

I thought the reason Deet doesn’t just fly everywhere is because she broke her wing at the beginning but then she flies around to spook the guards when freeing Hup

Why the fuck is this being spammed on all boards now

Is this another trannycordian raid?

I really dislike The Dark Crystal, I just have to say it I’m sorry.

She had salve to put on it so I assume it was healing over time.

I Rygel XVI, Dominar to over six hundred billion people, believe the Skeksis to be truly marvelous overseers of an uncivilized backwater planet.
I commend the Skeksis for their visionary leadership and guidance over an otherwise lowly and unworthy populace.

A recent research paper done at the Crystal Castle reported Gelfling women have skeksis receptors all over the surface of their pussy walls. These receptors are responsible for determining arousal levels during copulation.

Watching the first episode now and I still can’t get over how hilariously retarded the MMMMMMMMMMing is
Fucking kino

Watched episode 1, Holy shit this thing completely misses the point of the original. Feels like an attempt to do Game of Thrones with Gelfings. I never needed to see this.

damn. These stupid puppets are getting to me.

It's hard not to. I just watched the first episode and it's hilarious how well the Skeksis fit the JQ.

Lefties would say the same thing about them being white colonialists
The truth is, they’re FUCKING BIRDS

what point is that exactly?

Only fucking retards think this is anything remotely like Game of Thrones. Stop trying to make this meme happen.

>completely misses the point of the original
Which is absolutely a good thing.

Good point.

Been waiting since I was 7 when I first watched it. I'm slightly annoyed that some of the voices are off (Hamill as the scientist) but its fantastic to see the world of thraa come back.

Also, now that theres a new show, I get to see all these posers in the thread pretending they've been there the whole time.

show has too much skeksis screentime ṫbh

worst post in the thread

Please die

pure bait

How is the show?

not enough. I would have had zero interest in the show with no skesis

And Louis Lertier also knew this. He said "the Skesis are too much fun" and had to still cut down on 50% of their appearances in the season to allow for other characters to shine

Specifically he wanted to show the Skesis gambling at a Podling casino and playing folk games similar to horseshoes.

I give it a 9/10

>Pros
Pure soul and passion put into this no corporate cynicism or corner-cutting. Huge respect for the source material and world and none of the meta-mockery of the setting that you get in a lot of modern reboots. Very good worldbuilding and cinematography. The puppets make it all feel very special. Is mature without "lmao see how adult this is" with degenerate shit like swearing or sex or excessive violence

>Cons
some of the dialog is a bit cringe, the gelfling faces are a bit restrictive in their emotions sometimes. Some like Deet are quite emotive but Seladon has definite issues. Though the Skesis and Aughra have no problem with this/

not in public

what is the synopsis
I never watched the original movie

I've been doing it since I was young boy when I watched the original. I find it hilarious.

the original voice actor Michael Kilgarrif is still alive amazingly enough, but is 82 years old and I don't know what kind of health or mental state he's in.

there's cringe autism and based autism and this is absolutely the latter

pervert

the movie is like 90 minutes just watch it

I wonder how this series will be recieved in Korea and Taiwan. Dramatic puppetry is still quite respected there.

it's 2:48am and I have to wake up at 7am, so only maybe

Interstellar bird jews trade a fat wiccan a fancy meditation chamber so she can trip out and explore the astral plane. In exchange they promise to take care of her crystal lovebaby. As soon as she agrees they use it to shoot up sweet life force heroin and live for 1000 years while generally being a bunch of bros: kicking peasants around, eating big feasts, electrocuting animals. All the good shit.

The crystal meth doesn't get them high anymore though, so they have to start cutting it with elf blood. Some elf faggots get wind of this and shake their microdicks at the bird jews. Bird jews genocide them all.

Imagine being the Mystics just sitting around in your cave and suddenly the one connected to The Collector suddenly explodes

fairly accurate and succinct

The skeksis lapping up the girl’s essence was seriously some junji ito shit.

pretty good summary of the events of the show, honestly.

This makes me sympathize with the bird jews, are they the heroes of the franchise?

they are the villains but the most likable villains around, they get up to some fucked up shit but their sheer charisma makes them bro tier

keep at it user, good work

How the hell could skekvar be killed off? The general is in the dark crystal movie.

yes they just wanted to survive

Skesis harvesting Gelflings is no different than hunting animals to survive

You know how everyone who isn't a shithead prefers the Empire to Rebels in Star Wars? Skesis are that. Name me ONE (1) person who seriously prefers Gelflings and mystics to Skesis with a straight face.

the General is SkekUng in the movie. It's a different guy.

SkekUng the movie general was mentioned in the TV series, he's off somewhere and the Skesis consider calling him back. They also mention he's a good fighter.

SkekUng is the general in the movie
he gets name dropped in the show as one of the skeksis not currently at the castle

hmMMMMMMmmmm

The gelfling are serious hippies. The skeksis are bad guys, but them shitting on hippies is hilarious.

Henson originally wanted there to be 7 Skesis each for a sin

>Chamberlain: Wrath
>General: Pride
>Gourmand: Gluttony
>Ornamentalist: Lust
>Treasurer: Greed
>Emperor: Sloth
>Scientist: Envy

But then he added too many Skesis and didn't want to scratch them so he dropped the seven deadly sins parallel.

The only living Skesis not mentioned in the series was the Slave Master. Poor lad.

Now that the prequels have expanded so much on the extent of the Chamberlain's scheming it almost seems out of character that he would challenge SkekUngabunga to trial by stone.

>uhhhhh...no
>belly laughter
best part of the skesis shitting on gelflings

How many skeksis aren’t at the castle?

Politifags will color the Skeksis as any INSERT SPOOK HERE. It's to be expected.

yes a lot of people think the characters in the show are better, mostly because Henson couldn't flesh out the Skesis in the limited time of a movie.

>episode 1 voiceover says that seksis tricked one eyed grandma
>episode 7 puppet show tells us that UrSkek tricked oneyed grandma
episode 7 explanation makes more sense, but that would mean that voiceover lied to us which is weird

the credits called the intro voiceover person the myth-speaker. the gelflings don't know about the mystics so that's probably why

>spook
>I haven't seen anyone compare the Skeksis to niggers

It's fun to talk about sometimes. Art has always had allegories, and of course you're going to compare it to the real world occasionally.

When's the anime?

As of the start of Age of Resistance:

>Chamberlain
>Gourmand
>Ornamentalist
>Scroll Keeper
>Ritual Master
>Scientist
>Collector
>SkekVar the General

Skesis CONFIRMED out doing shit
>Hunter
>Mariner
>SkekUng who will later become General
>Treasurer
>Satirist
>Heretic

Dude they are the only good thing to watch.

It is, amongst good company. But Yea Forums is full of srs faggots who will destroy a thread for their culture war. Best to avoid peoples autism.

The Seksis in the movie have become addicted to essence and then deprived of it for decades after wiping out its source. On top of that, they have not gained any of the Dark Crystal's energy since at least the start of the TV series.
Also, remember that the Chamberlain actually outdid skekUng's first strike based on the reaction. He is no slouch.

the talk are often stupid, redundant, and mean spirited for a show about soul and apolitical passion

there's also the Skesis Slave Master who exists but is netiher in the castle or name dropped

Technically it was the same guys both times.

>apolitical
I don't believe this, I have a feeling it's message is about conservation. Just like the movie. Remember, the gelflings are the good guys.

Ornamentalist actually seemed to be living away at the beginning of the show. The Skeksis throw a welcome party when she shows up.

the "message" of the original insofar is very basic Tolkein style enviornmentalism, yeah. For the show there's a very mild anti-racism angle too.

Really these types of themes are not something anyone would object to and they're not shoehorned or pushed

They just need to make separate threads about.

I agree completely. It's message isn't the first thing that comes to mind. If anything, I wish the gelflings had a bit more character. Sometimes they are hard to differentiate.

I just want to see a trap video with drenchin gelflings and vapra twerking

why don't any other skesis beside the hunter use his other set of arms?

>the "message" of the original insofar is very basic Tolkein style enviornmentalism, yeah.
I don't think so. There is too much alchemy/occult stuff going on for the message to be merely environmentalism.

fat and atrophied

most of the gelflings might as well be planks, weird because Deet is so emotive

why the fuck did they have to show the scientist brutally murder those 2 slaves that just wanted to be free.

>why don't any other skesis beside the hunter use his other set of arms?
They all degraded after centuries of laziness and gluttony. It's implied most of their problems come from that and not age, because the Hunter is in great condition despite not drawing from the Crystal.

skeksis are the most relatable chars in the whole show

the other skeksis arms are stunted, they didn´t use them for centuries. they don´t do any exercise and their lives are leisure. Their bodies and looks are corrupted.
But the hunter, he is a /fit/ skeksis.

watching the making of documentary for this is worth it. Shows how much S.O.U.L. exists for this project

its no different from killing fish to eat or use as fertilizer, why wouldnt they show it?

>1hr 22 mins

brb

The show arguably has a lot of surface-level political commentary that doesn't really map on to any particular ideology, which is what makes it a great fable:

>Sin (greed, gluttony, sloth) leads to degeneration of not just the self but the world as a whole
>People have more in common than they have differences
>Powerful evils could be destroyed easily if different groups got over their petty issues and joined together
>The smallest and weakest members of a group can still contribute through their courage and wisdom
>The ruling class holds power because they are rewarded with their position in a false hierarchy, as long as they oppress their own

and the most important Don´t Trust Aliens

Yeah, I agree, it reminds me of The Neverending Story, which is absolutely steeped in Crowley and Theosophy, to the point of namedropping, but it's not explicit. In the end, you can apply it to almost anything, even things that stand in complete opposition to occultism.

the soul and passion by the production team is why this worked as opposed to becoming another disney star wars

I'm very glad disney only owns muppets not the Jim Henson Company

is...is there any chance bros?

Attached: 1401499348908.jpg (475x267, 22K)

it's nice that skesis do sort of care about each other in their own weird way. They were all genuinely distraught about the Hunter's condition. Chamberlain sort of broke the taboo by killing another Skesis

also the bit of the emperor and general talking about their dreams and fear of death showed that they aren't just assholes 24/7 to each other

>I'm very glad disney only owns muppets not the Jim Henson Company

yet

They also showed the Skeksis were not entirely willing to drain gelflings at first. When Mira is getting drained, one of them (the General, I think) shouts, "What have you done!?" And some of the others beg the Scientist to stop it. They all look shook. Only the Emperor is laughing, and he has been tainted by the Darkening. The Scientist is, too, but he's a special sort of twisted.

Before this show at least the company was struggling quite a bit. Muppet's Most Wanted was a box office failure and the adult muppets tv show failed. Disney has zero interest in the muppet label beyond planned shorts for disney+. They have sesame street to keep them afloat but all their other projects are pretty low budget or CGI like that fish show for very small children

I don't think disney sees them as enough of a threat or prize to take over

skesis weren't that bad when they first split apparently. And Mystics were more assholish originally too. Over time their base natures became overwhelming

Nigger, they were gobbling that life force up.

Go watch the scene again, and you'll see. Yeah, they gobbled it up, and were immediately addicted, but they still didn't like what they were seeing at first until they learned how tasty it was.

The point of the original was for Jim Henson and Frank Oz to do a huge cool project with puppets that didn't involve Kermit or Big Bird for a change. The story is insanely simple aside from the cool design of the world itself. If Henson was still alive he'd be incredibly proud of what they achieved with the show.

This was pure kino. Better than the film IMO.

Man, I was showing this series off to my pal and after watching episode 7 he hit it spot on. "All those gay elf things, gelflings sucked. I was bored until the Skesis showed up and did anything. They're cool."

He's right. Gelflings are nothing but small brained dweebs. Skeks were right to drink em up.

Are you for real? I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't really Frank Oz voicing the Heretic. Andy crushed that shit, no question.

Heretic was easily the worst skeksis performance. I didn't like the Collector much either. The rest were all great, scientist and chamberlin easily the best.

they consume the free energy of the broken crystal, corrupting the crystal, Thra and their bodies. The hunter chad was in the wild in contact with the nature, in his twisted way. Thats why the urRus are too, alive and well, living in the wild.

There's not a single trump swipe in the entire season. It's all about anti NWO faustian slave society themes. The advertising department absolutely made that implication, but it doesn't show up in the final product at all.

The only stuff for /pol/ to get mad at is that the Gelflings live in a feudal matriarchy and it pushes podling equality.

Yeah this was obvious, but at least it wasn't as obnoxious and "in your face" as it is in other movies/series like Star Wars and such. It's propaganda done the good way.

Are you forgetting the Scroll Keeper shooting down the wood elf queen with that knife catapult contraption on his back?

kek

How tall do you think the skesis and gelflings really are? Whenever I see these guys I think the Skesis are like 5'5 and imagine just slapping the dick out of one of them if I was around.

There's not a single Skeksis scene that is a bad scene.
Skeksis made this series. Villains done the right way, pure kino.

Deet is a podling fucking whore. Brea is the real deal. I would DIE for her.

The Heretic and Collector were both cases of bad humor being inserted because people think it appeals to kids for some reason. I don't know if kids actually like that shit, but movie and tv creators have been convinced that they do for decades now.

yes. And the emperor died faster than the others from old age because the darkening was degrading his body.
it´s like, even if part of you have good intentions to do things, if you fall into the 7 sins, glutonry, pride, etc you will end in a spiral of corruption, not only damaging you, others too.
But the skeksis have a worst story, they remember only the bad things of their previous lifes, imagine if you only remember the bad things, the negative things of your existence, dreaming nightmares, there is a big chance that you would never want to live that life again, be afraid of that and fall into drugs, a fast way to feel good ( the crystal energy).
All the good memories are in the urRs minds. they are kind of a tragic characters

>implying anyone under the age of 43 was excited to see a Dark Crystal product announced

I only just found about this franchise, and I'm surprised that Netflix would front the money for a show that has such a niche audience. It's the most soulful thing they've ever made, but I doubt it'll be much more of a commercial success than the original.

The original Dark Crystal was made just because Henson could. Despite the prequel being given a more generalized audience, it has a few scenes that are a bit edgier/darker than the original -- not sure why they decided to put in the scene of the Scientist beating the gruenak to death.

I actually enjoyed the Collector. She was an excuse to do something gross. The Heretic and the Wanderer are both a cool concept.

I imagine it’s like simple syrup, cream, vanilla, floral notes like rose or elder flower cause they’re hippies, and a bit of ascorbic acid.

Not enough screentime desu

What happens when a gelfling drinks essence? Is it the ultimate form of sacrilege?

Just to be clear, when I said "I don't know why producers think kids like this shit" I was referring specifically to the humorous characters who massively overdo their gimmick, not the entire show.

It'd probably be like drinking a smoothie made out of human meat.

Hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm, I'm thinking this is based

They carry a certain charm that gets away with childish humor, especially with the more violent details thrown in

It just occurred to me that the Director did what James Cameron has been trying and failing to do with Avatar for the last decade. He made what's the equivalent of 5 movies at the same time.

With fucking puppets.

Tavra and Gurjin are the best characters in the show. Skeks are overrated.

Holy shit neither the gelfs or jew birds can fight.
>neither taking advantage of their strenghts
>gelfs could guerrilla the shit out of them, skekis are larger and stronger but slow and cumbersome as shit
>skekis not using their superior resources, size and strength
>instead the skeks slowly flail around and the gelfs also flail around out in the open where they are easy targets

>That's it? Just Gurjin?

I’m 24 and watched the original as a kid. I had no idea this was coming out until about a week ago when I was browsing Netflix. Just finished about an hour ago and it was pure kino. What a great throwback, can’t wait for season 2.

How did they successfully make this bitch so fucking hateable? A fucking puppet. I want to strangle her. Why didn't they impale her in the end for what she did?

It's just what you get with awkward puppets fighting. Or you go full ANIME and get Thunderbolt Fantasy.

There were barely any of them. Literally the only thing a gelffling can do is poke them with a sharp sword. They're fucked in any other circumstance. The body mass difference is considerable. Also the skeksis are drunk on a fine mixture of hubris and stupidity.

Ok, but the full anime fighthing in Thunderbolt Fantasy fucks hard.

The Hunter is a great fighter. The guy can pounce around like wild. The other Skesis are probably just too decrepit and sickly to really do much, although they did fuck over the entire castle guard.

LET'S DANCE

the skeksis had a degraded body for centuries of doing nothing, if they had been fit like the Hunter, they would have been unstoppable.
The Hunter represents what they could have been if they not had fallen into their low desires.

I loved both the Gelfs and Skeks equally this time around. I get that the Skeksis are the ultimate love to hate villains and I adore them too, but the Gelflings were really likeable this time around imo. I loved following both.

Will we see other nomadic skeksis in season 2? Will the Mariner be as awesome as the Hunter?

tfw no body building skesis that just wants to be left alone and gain mass.

The Mariner literally keeps Gamera as a living ship so the chances are pretty high

I wonder if the Mariner will be /fit/ like the Hunter or if it's more like the garthim master, ie strong and active but still kind of fat and withered.

it looks like a railroad spike

Skesis get Ipad

Dark Crystal handled it well though. Aughra was already a signature character. The matriarchy isn't in your face, it's just government, and it's controlled by an Emperor. The "strong women" are either subjugated by a male-majority cabal of dabblers(skeksis) or seeking wisdom from wise old men (Aughra seeking out the Mystic + band finding the Heretic).

I don't think any will be as fit as the hunter, the one eye'd goat lady said he was "the most beautiful of you shrivled lot".

Just think the other lazy ass lords go to such great lengths to keep them selves alive when all they had to do was workout and stay active.

I do it whenever my gf says “Please.”

Hey, late (you) but shouts out to this guy. Looks cute, bro.

Probably not. The Hunter was said to be the most brutal of them - one can assume the Archer is also a significant presence among the urRu.

why is chamberlain so based

he just wants to be friends

The Skeksis all walk around with a staff that has an inverted pyramid at the top. The Heretic having the regular pyramid just means he sees things from the opposite perspective.

Also notice that their staves are all pointed with an orb in the center, yet the Heretic's staff is smooth with nothing being held in the center

t. Chamberlin, dyel faggot

I thought the emperor's was round, or crescent moon. No orb, but that darkening crystal

You're correct. His is special, but that's likely because he's the emperor
