Chamberlain’s speech at the end of the first episode.

I'd talk about it, but this thread is probably 5 minutes away from deletion because someone is going to bring up the fact that the Skeksis have an awful lot in common with a certain group of Hebrews.

This. It was doubly confirmed during the duel between Skekmal and Rian and his dad.

its like got/lotr but with puppets

Deet!

This. The Chamberlain is such a piece of shit in the movie and in the show. He's vile, but also very charming in his own way. He steals the show.
10/10 would get backstabbed by.

The Emperor must remember his own words.
We are Lords of the Crystal, yes?
Even if Rian talk, none will believe.
They will shun him.
Cast him out.
How can they not?
To believe him is not to believe themselves.
Skeksis reign a thousand trine and will reign a thousand thousand more, until last star in sky goes dark.
Gelfling will submit, head bowed, back bent as have always done.
Gelfling want to be ruled.
Gelfling need to be ruled.
Because Gelfling are weak!
Gelfling are small.
And Skeksis are forever!
We took the Crystal.
Thra belongs to us now.
And is nothing...nothing Gelfling can do!

This would be so cool to binge watch on acid

Their slurping up her remains is absolute kino.

rarbg

it really doesn't matter a lot. They're completely different tonally and the movie would give you a pretty good idea of how the series will end. The movie does however help you to understand a lot of the ideas and themes of the show.

You'll have a different experience with either order, but both of those experiences are fine

You honestly should. There's a ton of references here and there.

I thought it was hilarious that for the first few days the alt-righters didn't even notice the jewish parallel and everyone of you was convinced the Skeksis were an analogue for Trump and his cronies, The Gelfling were leftists because they had a matriarchal society and many of our heroes were women in leadership positions, and this whole show was about resisting trump and how this whole show was a subversive liberal plot manufactured by a conclave of Zionist executives at netflix working for Hillary's shadow government to destroy American values.

But now it's flipped the other way, now the Skeksis are the jews and this is about whites resisting the jewish conclave who are sucking the life force out of whites, and the jews upset the natural order and put women in charge because women are weak rulers who suffer from women's emotions, so it's the duty of all whites to band together and throw off their oppressors.

It's almost like it's not specifically allegorical and you can project whatever bullshit you want onto a story of good resisting evil. But that wouldn't be the case in 2019 because now everything surely was made with politics in mind first and foremost, especially puppet shows for children based on a puppet movie from the 80s.

I assumed that he covers himself in oils or poisons to keep things from eating him.

Does it show any scenes with the original VA dialogue? Wonder what the quality difference is between the original VA and the people they hired afterwards as the famous actors all did a pretty fantastic job.

>the puppeteers read their lines and acted out their scenes

This is actually a common practice in film puppeteering. This was done with Yoda in the OT, Team America World Police, and others. It makes the production smoother as opposed to working the puppets in silence. The script and queue go together.

Gurjin

Huh, people have been making out that the puppeteers thought their voice work would be in the final product only to have it all replaced by other actors.

Some of the writring was beyond anything I expected.
>i plant lies in ground, watch grow into truth
>you have heart, ill take that too
>the entire chamberlain speech in the carriage

Really liked the part where the Emperor talks about how he dreams, but it's all nightmares.

When the Lord's envoy arrived in the mountain village in the first episode.
Honestly before that whole scene I was REEEEEALLY iffy on what I'd seen so far. The whole opening of the first episode is kinda shite desu. The puppetry was jarringly bad and its not a good introduction to the rest of the series.

the real issue is the show is so much more advanced in effects and puppetry that the movie will seem really stiff in comparison
the movie is just 1.5 episodes length anyway, might as well watch it first (just keep in mind the gelflings are a bit dull in the movie and way more developed in the show, the skeksis are great in both though again better in the show)

So they said that they have a concrete plan already for Season 2, and are mostly just waiting on reception to give it the greenlight. They said it might not take as long as you think, but even if they only had to film it, that would still take about a year and a half.

I think they left it pretty open for a Season 2, and they could wrap it all up with a final third season for after the movie. What do you all think?

Whole lot of feels in this show.

Best way to do it is movie first, since obviously the show is much more advanced with the current techniques in puppetry, etc. You will understand a lot more about the movie watching the show first, but it could also be kind of depressing since everyone is just gone and dead lol

I'd say do the movie first.

this guy is the puppeteer behind the 'Puppet show' of the Heretic, he made a good job

I forgot the absolute mad man Henson originally intended for the movie to be entirely in a made up language with no subtitles..

RIAN A CUTE

Me too, you can understand the tragedy of their existence.

That's never the case. Just use common sense: Is it easier to correctly convey the motion of the puppets, while responding to others with dialogue and action, in silence, or if you're actually reading their lines?

There are many scenes that can lead to bad trips.

Last time I tried to watch tv on acid, the characters just teleported around the screen or froze still for what felt like seconds at a time. It was incomprehensible

Huh, I always thought the voice actors were on set reading the lines alongside the puppeteers.

I love this

So the Emperor is fully aware of everything will happen in the movie already right?

The skeksis are fucking terrifying to watch while seriously dosed on stuff. Tried a few nights ago and had to turn it off during the opening scene around the crystal.

He was honestly doing Rian a favor, Deet is such an upgrade

The quantity and intensity of whinging you guys did before it started about how it was really about Trump and hostility to white male incels helped. You're all fucking pathetic.

dunno really. while it was in production I noticed among all the screen and tv actors in the cast they were recruiting ones already known for their voice performances, I was only surprised Jason Isaacs and Mark Hamill didn't switch roles

>The skeksis are fucking terrifying to watch while seriously dosed on stuff.

They're more disturbing when they're not. The body of a Skeksis (especially unclothed) fucking horrifies me.

This is a work of passion.

>the Skeksis scrollkeeper. (who also plays Rian)

>Hup

>Scientist...
I swear I heard several lines he said, especially in the final episode, sound very unlike Mark Hamill's voice. I think the puppeteer's voice was used for some of the Scientist's lines in that episode- including right in the beginning when he approaches the Emperor and General. It sounds froggy and croakish.

It's very good. And it's honestly way darker than I expected, the movie got shit for being too dark in the 80s, so it would never have been made nowadays. And yet the series doubles down on the dark stuff. I'm pretty sure parents would rather let their kids watch Deadpool than this.

I'm pretty sure it's adults watching it more than kids anyhow. Kids don't watch TV they vidya and watch shitty music vids on Youtube.

Not to mention the grotesqueness of the Skeksis.

So it’s like team america?

Why even bother with this kind of story - we know how it ends and it's awful. Unlike the prequel trilogy, for example, we at least got to learn of Anakin's "fall", as contrived and poorly executed as it was, Obi-Wan's youth, the Emperor's rise, etc. - all characters that played important roles in the original series. Here we meet a bunch of characters who will literally be eradicated. Even the majority of S1 Skeksis, save the Chamberlain, don't even make it to the movie or play a real role in the movie.

yeah, he's not lazy like the rest.

They took a beloved dark children's movie with puppets and turned it into a dark children's show with puppets. It's good for what it is. The plot is your standard end-of-the-world good guys versus bad guys stuff, the writing is basic (but not bad), the characters are generally about as likeable or hateable as they're intended to be. It's a kid's show. Standard stuff.

Unless you're normally into that kind of thing, you're probably going to be watching it for two reasons:

1) Nostalgia for the movie. The show generally delivers on this. It doesn't rape the film. The costumes, sets, and characters feel authentic.

2) Speaking of costumes, sets, and characters: those things are great. The puppetry is actually really well-done and fun to see. The sets are gorgeous. I wish that they had done some of the neat practical stuff that the film did (like making matching full-sized sets for costumed actors to run and jump in, then going back to the puppet-sized sets to do close-ups), but at that point it would've just been throwing money away to not use CGI so I get it. The character designs are every bit as weird and whimsical as the original.

All in all, it's basic but gorgeous.

"He took pride in being the strongest, fastest, and most athletic of the Skeksis, and despite Skeksis law prohibiting the murder of other Skeksis, skekMal was not afraid to threaten other Skeksis if they attempted to stop him claiming a trophy from his prey. Like most Skeksis, he believed Gelfling were inferior to him due to how weak they were in comparison, and considered them such easy prey that hunting them was not worth it unless they proved to be a true danger. He also expresses some disgust towards his fellow Skeksis for their indulgent lifestyle, calling them petty."

No. Bear in mind, the original isn't paced well and the main characters are dull af. I'd go as far as to say it isn't a very good movie on its own, only the puppetry/skeksis makes it interesting.

>repels chiggers
What the fuck you can't say that

This isn’t thinly veiled drumpf hate propaganda is it?

It's your typical fantasy story of good vs evil.
If anything, Skeksis are allegorical nazis - racist, genocidal, fascistic etc. despite the jew meme.

>I thought it was hilarious that for the first few days the alt-righters didn't even notice the jewish parallel
I saw an over-the-top antisemitic show right after 30 seconds into it. To be fair this what I was vaguely and ironically expecting to see, knowing the 1982 movie.

If I ever become rich, I'm going full Joe Rogan, and getting scale replicas of the Xenomorph, Chamberlain, JP Velociraptor, and the T-800 endoskeleton in my house.

It is, I just watched it last week before I started the series.

how? I can see some gelfling fleeing the extermination that reunite with Jen and Kira after the movie but there isn't going to be some happy ending where everyone lives. The skeksis made pretty damn certain they slaughtered and drained the gelfling and this story doesn't seem like its shying away from horrible death.

I'd rather get six inch scale figures that go with the classic exiled chamberlain so I can set up the entire skeksis court

Fuck knows..we dont know you. Think for yourself faggot...either watch or dont.

This has gotten me on a kick where I'm tracking down all the dark fantasy "kid's" movies from the 80s that used to scare the hell out of me. So far, I've got Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Neverending Story, and Return to Oz. Anything else along these lines?

HMMMmmmmmmm

I couldn't help but notice deet has faggot parents

I wonder if they stole their children.

Typical Grottan subGelflings

gelfling on gelfling full on penetration

they got forced to the basement for a reason

It could be that grottans live kind of like a commune where your biological parentage doesn't matter much and two buddies can raise a kid even if they're not lovers. Or maybe they're fags, who knows.

I thought that was her grandfather and father. One looked much older.

that's what I thought at first, but then character interactions led me to the dark path of realization.

They needed to drop the 3 princesses story line and use those scenes to give the Hunter more screen time so his parts don't feel as tacked on, and Archer's words of "the hunt must end" actually carry some weight.
I got the feeling that more than one character had story arcs taking place in outside material and just sort of showed up in this series expecting the audience to already know who they are. I.E. those two gelflings Rian met at the bar and the Hunter and Archer. As someone who has NOT read the books, and only learned of their existence after the series, this left me wondering what I was missing during my viewing.

yes, MORE SCREEN TIME FOR SKEKMAL

They could just be using puppets they had on hand

Christ you’re obsessed

at least Podlings are not as degenerate

Just ended episode 5 I hope something horrible happens to Inceldon fucking bitch

the podlings are great, would hang out with and party like it's 1399

The Darkening is a stupid name.

And calling them 'paladins' is kind of lazy, and Age of Resistance is a lame subtitle. But otherwise I think it all turned out great.

She survives

petetition to replace 'darkening' with 'blacked' when?

ho ho ho, are you going to get progressively angry

The gelfling have a worrying lack of killer instinct. They should have massacred the skeksis at the battle. Whats more the bit where rian said "im not a killer" made absolutely no sense. The whole point of that confrontation was to kill skeksis. Then he just pulls his sword out instead of defeating the general. Can someone explain this

how is general still alive in the movie?

>a podling is just a gelfling with down syndrome
>gelflings send them off to live in a village full of other podlings out of shame

Gelflings are innocent and naive by nature to the point it could be called stupidity. its an established lore

gefling are small, gelfling are afraid of being strong like skeksis

its a title that was taken by another skeksis

The gelfling are pussies and undeserving of Thra's love. Same with the spider faggots, they also just sat on their asses and didn't do anything. Aughra should just let an ascendancy bug get in her mind, dominate their entire species and wage war herself. Her, Deet and the tree are the only component warriors Thra has to offer and one of them is fucking dead.

I suspect the "I'm not a killer" line is an editing artifact of a dropped plotline.

Also I don't think their overall plan is to kill the Skeksis, because they know they're tied to the Mystics. The Gelflings ultimately have a very childlike view of the world, where even the warriors are really just guards and the only significant enemy is a swarm of large spiders.

I think it works. It's a whole race of Frodos.

>They know they're tied to the mystics
I mean, Rian does, but not the rest of them.
Also, what's the point of starting a Rebellion if you're not willing to kill the cabal of immortal bird lizards that are literally vampirizing your people without remorse or signs of stopping? Sure, Rian knows that for every Skeses killed, a Mystic dies, but that is a small price to pay as far as Gelflings are concerned. I mean really, what have the Mystics ever done for the Gelflings?

thats why gelfling society is doomed to die
sad but natural selection

I like this painting. Do you know what its called?

nothing they're the other half of fallen angels

>>Unironically using femoid outside of /r9k

Who hurt you?

Fucking this. I also never got in the original film why the mystics who are supposed to basically be all good don't just kill themselves and wipe out the skeksis. I guess self-preservation is more important than saving the world. Like the skeksis don't deserve the hunter the mystics don't deserve the archer.

One problem I'm having is just getting a grip on the scale of the world. In the first movie there were only two Gelfling left on the surface and nine Skeksis, which is a nice manageable figure. But how many Gelfling are there total in AoR? Like a thousand per clan, max? I know it's a small fairy tale world but it does make you wonder why they could only summon like 60 total Gelfling for the climactic battle.

its called 'The dilemma of an idiot not knowing google image search'

Most are probably not suited for fighting. The gelfling didn't really see much combat anyway so it makes sense that their armies are small.

maybe because they wanted to merge with the skesis to become UrSkeks again.

GOD TIER
>Chamberlain
>Emperor
>Hunter

Because the Mystics are that passive. They arent just a force of goodness. They're inactive and placid while Skeksis are ambitious and violent.

I thought the skeksis were going to eat her alive when she finally discovers the truth

Same. I was on episode 6 and realized how into this shit I was. I was really apprehensive going into it too just because I was afraid of what Netflix could have done to it.

DEET DEET

Same. Was disappointed when they just stripped her skeksis cosplay instead

im on my phone, no need to be rude

>sorry we let your entire race get devoured by vulture demons, but we really wanted to go back home
>thanks for the assist Jen, we're off to our home planet, good luck repopulating lmao

I'm guessing there's some logic that if they all die, then the Crystal and all of Thra would be doomed, too. But now that we've seen Archer realize that he can sacrifice himself to save the Gelflings it gets kind of strange.

It's things like this that make me wish there was just one Gelfling Kingdom. Classic fantasy King and Queen sort of set up.

Mystics have flaws. They’re gentle but apathetic, lazy, and cowardly

You can image search with your phone dumbass. Just use yandex for image searches, it's better

cowardly? no sign of that at all

Aside from Archer they all refuse to intervene to help the Gelflings.

>King

OYYYYY VEYYYYYY

they're readers of prophecy, and they're unable to act against events as they're unfolding

It didn't stop Aughra. Actually on that note I'm surprised Aughra is taking as active a role as she is.

jesus this shit is ISIS tier

that was great

the arrogance of the guards thinking they were ever needed by their lords for protection and that they were easy prey

Just watched the first episode. Holy fuck, it’s amazing.

it's it though? it comes off like a fluke, things in the 21st century aren't supposed to be good
