Soon.

That might be my favorite scene in the whole thing. It was kind of satisfying seeing her smug ass get BTFO like that.

It was pretty brutal.

It's not too often you get something come back after a long time, and actually meet (or even exceed) expectations. It's almost always a disaster. The only exceptions that really come to mind are this, Beavis and Butthead, Invader Zim, and Twin Peaks.

No it wasn't. SkekTek bashing his slaves was brutal. Having your dress get ripped apart isn't.

Having your entire lifelong worldview shattered in two minutes then be sentenced to death is quite brutal, user.

I really want a Chamberlain.

If that's what you took from the scene, you're an idiot.

wasn't brutal enough. they didn't leave her naked and gang banged

yes user, that's what happened
"her dress was ripped"
gold star sticker for you

This show really pulled no punches in terms of how dark the themes are and how monstrous the villains are. They sit and laugh as they genocide the Gelflings and the show does nothing to shy away from the reality of that whatsoever. They don't make shows and movies like this anymore, it used to be the norm for kids movies in the 80's and 90's to be this dark and it is refreshing to see them go all out to recapture that.

True, but I don't think Skeksis want to fuck creatures they consider to be basically pets or livestock. They're not muslims.

>He said to his slaves with their mouths stiched shut

For me it's the way they subvert the expectations you'd have from recent kids' shit.

Outside if the skeksis the program is dull, but the reason it works is because they don't have a 90 year old actor trying to reprise their role (terminator etc.) and they don't seem to be relying on references to appeal to the audience (they don't need to, a lot of it is the same already anyway).
They've also been pretty careful with the fag shit, though there is an over representation of female characters on the gelfling team.

I want to see a prequel/sequel to Transformers the Movie, with a classic soundtrack.

>there is an over representation of female characters on the gelfling team.
I’m probably as sexist as they come and I didn’t care. Especially since the biggest Gelfling fuckup in the series was Celadon
Also there are female Skeksis so its not a bunch of evil men on the other side, there are evil women too.

Hell die in the same fashion as the main guys dad, except without it being literally pointless and shitting written.

It's not that I care that they exist, there's just too many of them and they don't do much.

Harvey Fierstein's Gourmand was a little different, more raspy and wheezy sounding, but given the original only had two very short lines it's not an issue, he was great and the voice was perfect for that fat fuck.
The original Scientist also had a vague bit of an accent, I guess evoking the "mad German scientist" type which Hamill didn't recreate, but again, no complaints, he was perfect. His screechy voice reciting Scientist's overdramatic declarations cracked me up.

Because they are ancient.

Someone wealthy enough to live to old age during a time when old age was pretty fucking rough and usually just meant 50.

most likely the gelfling would still be cavemen

Beats not existing.

The gelfling had Aughra to guide them. They'd be fine.

It's Aughra's fault for giving them the crystal. If she didn't do that they'd be powerless.

It's also implied in the background lore that the UrSkek that Chamberlain is half of was the one responsible for damaging the crystal and splitting apart to begin with. He was evil and selfish the whole way through and gets a happy ending. Based.

but still cavemen

Grottans seemed fine.

Me thinks the urskeks come from a world that was literally one giant crystal, or a crystalline world. maybe they were shocked to find only one crystal in thra

>shitty writing
Fuck off, that scene was kino and wouldn't be anywhere near as kino if his sacrifice actually accomplished something.

Grottans don't bathe. Imagine the smell.

We don't know how much tech the skeksis gave to them. I mean why would they? I guess maybe getting into their good graces, but they could easily find some other way to do it and simultaneously keep the populace dumb and easy to control. Gelfling advancement was probably their own.

Grottans are subgelfing, barely above Podlings

>deet smells so bad that her scent repels insects

Attached: SP774-1024x1024.jpg (1024x1024, 62K)

If there was a Skesis whose name was SkekKek, what would his backstory/role be?

They gave them "innovation". The UrSkeks, before they split, taught the Gelfling literacy, mathematics, and more, and gave to Aughra even more tempting things, notably the Orrery. The UrSkeks were more familiar with the crystal than even Aughra - they came from a world where they tampered with their own, and were banished for it.

This history is kept secret though. The Skeksis don't like looking that far back even.

She gave them the crystal for safekeeping, not so they could blow it up. She didn't know they were planning on experimenting on it, if she did she probably would have told them to fuck off.

The Satirist is close enough

UrSkeks still deserve to be genocided

Consider for a moment, this: all that happened with the UrSkeks and the Skeksis across 2000 years was meant to teach Aughra some hard lessons and help her grow. It was all the games of cosmic gods and immortals, the lives of the mortal inhabitants of Thra were just playthings in this divine scheming. Aughra was too concerned with the rest of the universe and her own selfish desires to know everything and satisfy her own curiosities when she should have been content and focused on safeguarding and shepherding all the creatures of Thra. She needed to lose it all to appreciate the gravity of that responsibility and understand her place in the universe. She'll get it right in the next cycle. Too late for the Gelfling, but their sacrifice will ensure it never happens again under a more wise and vigilant Aughra.

Same, but I wish they would've at least had Rian kill the General while he had the chance. Instead they went the trope route of the good guys being all, "But I'm not like you! I don't kill!" Fucking so sick of that shit in movies/shows.

The UrSkeks and Aughra are godlike beings for all intents and purposes. Even just the Skeksis and Urru living for thousands of years with no end in sight makes them essentially immortal (not invincible obviously, but not capable of dying of old age). The Skeksis only begin to die of what they were paranoid about to begin with after they become addicted to drinking Gelfling essence, which is making them sick.

Such a malodorous pussy.

Come to think of it, how large and dangerous are Skeksis anyway?

Is it possible the absolute madlad skekMal is just what all physically fit Skeksis were capable of before their withering?

I really really like the song he sang in the jail

Uh
No

this I've been asking/looking for this for a week now

Pre-withering Skeksis looked very delicate and fragile from the concept art.

Gurjin

Honestly while the Hunter is doubtlessly the strongest of the Skeksis physically, it seems like both Generals and the Emperor are more than capable too. Hell, if the Scientist is able to create the Garthim I wouldn't put it past him to try and graft himself some new body parts.

absolutely - frail old ass bird things that are only tough because they tower over 2 foot tall effeminate 20 lb gnomes and 1 ft tall retard gremlin creatures. You could probably just knock them over and they wouldnt be able to get back up

My impression is, yes, SkekMal is peak Skeksis fitness and strength. He does not live a hedonistic lifestyle or live in the castle. I like to imagine the Skeksis are about the size of a human and that everything else on Thra is small.

Pls no bully SkekSo.

Or not. Here it is anyways:

>Tell me how do I into Dark Crystal?
Start with the new series or original film. Starting with either is completely fine, but the series is an ideal place to start for newcomers if they feel iffy about the franchise.
>What kind of media there is?
The original film, the new prequel series, a prequel comic, two sequel comics, and a tactics video game based on the series.
>Why is it hyped around lately?
New prequel show to the film came out on Netflix about a week ago and it's fucking fantastic. Easily one of the best shows in a long time, and easily the best of The Jim Henson Company's more recent work.
>I think there was some obscure old movie.
Yes, the original film from 1982. The reception on it around here is incredibly divided. You'll either find it a beautiful masterpiece and one of Jim Henson's greatest works period or a boring slog with uncompelling protagonists. Start with it at your own discretion.

Found it, it was in the Yea Forums thread. If gelfling are between two to three feet and skeksis are more than double their size then they're over 7 feet tall at the least.

Nah. The movie did it better.
The gelflings taking up arms and practicing warfare seems like a significant departure from how they were depicted in the movie, and seems to go against the message of the movie as well.
The movie gelflings were more like hobbits, in that despite their short stature and nonviolent ways could still perform mighty feats.

Shad when?

Well logically they wouldn't have been genocided if they hadn't taken up arms at some point.

Why not. They weren't genocided for insubordination, they were genocides for their essence.

I think those are the second pair of arms holding flags instead of wings.

Just pirate it. Giving the show more views is nice, but it's not worth resubbing if you're only going to use it for that.

Helping the General made him speak on Skeksil's behalf in front of the Emperor and got him his seat back. General still needed to die though, because he took the seat in the first place.

If hobbits could see their race being genocided they'd take up arms too though. They literally do take up arms in the book. There's a difference between being peaceful and being so apathetic that you put in no effort to save yourself.

In that image they clearly are wings judging by the structure of the fingers but in other images it does look like they're holding flags.

Where do I get gelfling cunny?

Buy puppet and fist it

Some of them are still fuckable.

People's issue with Rian isn't that he doesn't do much, it's that he never gets time to really develop his personality or relationships in any meaningful way. Deet and Brea get plenty of time to explore their personalities, motivations, and relationships (Deet and Hup, Brea and her family). Rian is just constantly busy and never gets any real time to flesh out any of that.
Adding on to that, Deet and Brea's backgrounds also flesh them out as characters. Deet lived in Grot and thus learned to love and care for Thra in general (Which makes her inevitable destruction of the planet even more heartbreaking) and Brea's royal background gives her conflict with her family and what's expected of her in her position. Rian neither fleshes out Stone-In-Wood nor provides an interesting perspective into the life of a castle guard. His dad's dead so there's no opportunity to explote that relationship, and Gurjin probably embodies the loyalty and resilience of a guard job more than Rian ever could.
Really hoping S2 fleshes Rian out more because right now he's fucking weaksauce.

at least the gruenaks died fighting for their freedom

Question, why is the hunter so fucking physically bad ass compared to the other skeksis?
The rest of them are wasting away and disgusting while he's an absolute fucking Chad who can run up trees and murder shit.
Why is he different?

How proud would Jim be of AoR?

Gurjin is way more based and interesting than Rian.

>This is really impressive kids, but why the fuck is everyone fighting?

So I get to cum right before I die?

Have a (you), that was funny.

Pretty proud, I think.

Reminder he discovered that draining is fucking useless if your will to live is ironclad, decades before Kira did.

Well not just the matter of taking up arms but being martial in any way or being successful at violence.
The whole gelflings having a standing army or weapons at all doesn't feel right, let alone be able to take on skesksis as well as they do in mortal combat.

Rian literally just exists to become Jen's dad and because the show had too many female leads which it needed to balance out with a male hero. He absolutely needs more screen time and character development, but it seems pretty clear where his story is meant to lead. Only question is, is Brea going to be the mom now that Deet is seemingly destroyed?

Which ones user? Tell us.

I'm thinking Rian is Jen's dad and Brea is Kira's mom.

waifufag, dyke, or hates their dad?
you decide user!

why don't the females fly everywhere? they mostly walk in the show and movie

None?
Rian just has weaker characterization compared to his peers, that's it. I don't hate him at all and I think Taron Egerton's doing a great job with what he's got. I just wish he was a bit more fleshed out, and there's always more opportunities for that in future seasons and expanded material.

Iv'e got a custom made Kira fuckdoll coming from Japan any day now.

Only £900

Yeah, that's kind of stupid, they should have probably made it that only some females have wings, there's loads of times where you wonder why they just don't fly.

It probably just gets tiring or something. And most of the characters travel in mixed parties of males and females.
And for things like the Crystal Desert on the way to the Circle of the Suns, taking that big-ass sky fish was probably the most efficent for everyone.

Realistically you should kick them to keep the distance and then... well, keep kicking.
Except if it's the Hunter. Then you're dead.

God, thank you I needed that laugh this morning.
Also makes sense the hunter is the only one being physically active and running around not being a crusty old fuck

It's not that low a key.

And this is also after her having believed they were benevolent rulers so hard that she branded her family and friends who rebelled as traitors.

It might be very exhausting to sustain over long periods of time.

OOF

Oh fuck, how could I forget the Hunter? Very fuckable.

Amazed and proud especially when the entire series was made under 6 months.

6 months? I thought it took 5 years.

The skeksis were all much more compelling than the gelflings.

So the skeksis at the castle drain gelflings to prolong their lives. How has the hunter and the heretic survived all this time?

I still can't get over his deep fried hands. Its like that mr. Meaty sketch.

Actually a surprising scene as I assumed they would string her along to get her to send more Gelfling their way but nope, just blew up the entire system they had in place for hundreds of years without a fuck given.

the real genocide was the friends we met along the way

The point of that is that they don't really need to do it, they're decaying because they're lazy and self-indulgent.

The novels state that they came to Thra because it had the same kind of crystal that existed on their homeworld, which was in the "furthest farthest galaxy" from Thra

This, it wasn't brutal at all. She was probably still thinking in her head that what they were doing was right. A traitor and a floor mat, I wish her character would have gotten killed off in a satisfying way, but no.

>I work with zombie vultures and they actually peck at me less than you did. My wings were immaculate, mother. My wings were perfect.

Aughra speculates that there's nothingness for Skesis/UrRu after death

Emperor speculates the same pain and misery that existed before they were born

"my bad"

they're human sized, jim Henson said this. Gelflings are the ones who are tiny

This is the only right list.

he got fucked over hard and Brea got away with it all

Quite simply, he works out. He's out hunting and roaming the countryside and they're lazy fucks in the castle. He also seems to just be unusually strong and willful, just as his Archer counterpart is.

The skeksis are draining our wallets! Dont you see!?

Of course, they're the colourful hammy bad guys, the Gelfling are the nice but dour heroes.

LYING GELFING!

To be fair, most of their damage was accidental.

Iirc the director's cut said that it was more than a good/evil split. It was knowledge vs. Wisdom, Innovation vs. Pacificism, etc. Mystics and Skeks had were both basically unhinged with some aspects without the other aspect to balance it out.

user is a zoomer who didn't watch Princess Bride

What was the deal with that character? Was she the only female skeksis?

When Augrah scares those guards with tales of her past crimes it makes me wonder if she wasn't more brutal with her power in the past. That she wasn't an oravle back then but a full on witch or monster.

Skeksis feed off the crystal and drain gelflings because they're piss scared of dying, but we don¨t know how necessary that really is. Sure, it makes them feel agile/strong again for a while, but we have no idea how long they would live without it.

Heretic being alive and fairly springy + Hunter jumping all over the place strongly implies they don¨t need to abuse the crystal to stay alive, and if they did something else than sit on their fat asses all day and eat like gluttons they would be more agile and fit too.

Those were just stories. She isn't a D&D wizard. The UrSkeks *kind of* were though.

Skeksis and Mystics don't have any gender.

aughra doesnt harm any creature of Thra

watching it right now
really nice to see Gelflings had an advanced and high culture
listening to Jen and Kira in the movie I always imagined a tribe of retards

Tell that to the Skeksis who was pissing out of his three penises

She's the embodiment of Thra. All genders, races, animals, plants, etc. That's it. No monster. Just a speaker for Thra. She was originally a larger amalgam before the Conjunction burned her eye out and her masculine half and other concepts. It's why she has a beard/mustache still.

Did you see a dick or just piss? He may just have holes.

They literally don't have genders because they're an incomplete race. They identify as male or female because that's what they originally were.

Technically they're genderless but it's clear Ornamentalist and Collector are meant to be female. Also the Mariner is female

gender =/= sex
dumb bigot males

Right? I like this better than a tribe of dumb elf hippies.

does that mean there are female mystics?

ALL THANKS TO THE SKEKSIS
BUT GELFLING UNGRATEFUL

>when they drink the rest of Mira's essence while Rian is screaming

That was sad and surprising. I thought they were going to bring her back somehow but nope. She's just dead.

AHHHHHHHHH!

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 99K)

maybe we know very little about mystics. They just walk in the original movie and the 2 in Age of Resistance are entirely new characters

Cloaca?

important life lesson for you there, user.

yes

come to think of it, didn't her "son" Raunip only come about after her right eye was burnt out and embodied the masculine half of Thra? this was only in the comics though and it's been a while since I read them so I could be wrong

Then the Chamberlain sarcastically "returns her to Thra" by tossing the bottle on the ground and stomping on it. What a prick.

I love it too. I hope we see more of the other clans, their cultures, and lives in S2.

UrSan the Swimmer (counterpart of skekSa)

I kinda feel like they should make season 2 diverge from the original movies ending since I feel like there is no point in continuing a story that we already know the conclusion to. And Augra said there are different timelines.

hmmMMMmmm new thread yes?

Falling down a volcanic vent is as close to thra as you can get so I imagine he joined the big lifecycle thjngie.

Well fuck I also made a new one. Just pick one and let the others die off I guess.

Depends on the skeksis. Hunter would whoop my ass so hard,
