What's the ratio of puppets/CG in the new series?

95-5

Even when a scene requires heavy CG like on a moving vehicle chase, they tend to just greenscreen the real puppet. Very few times the puppets or sets around them are fully CG. It's mostly used for skies, set extensions, or removing puppeteer elements (there's a big rock puppet that can be done as a full size puppet because its three puppeteers can be removed in post, originally they thought there would be no way to do it practically). For some creatures that need to use CG, they always have puppets for closeups.

It's a prequel to the movie where it's even more of a fallen time. Makes sense there's some remnants of "light" to it.

>The whole gelflings having a standing army or weapons at all doesn't feel right,
The Skeksis most likely influenced this aspect of their culture too. It'd be in line with the Gelfling's impression that Skeksis also brought them knowledge and prosperity, and we already know they drove the Arathim out of Grot, so it's reasonable to assume they trained the Gelfling to help them achieve that.
>let alone be able to take on skesksis as well as they do in mortal combat
They actually aren't effective enough. The only Gelfling you see land a hit on a Skeksis in the whole show is Rian with the Dual Glaive and Deet with the Darkening. Even Maudra Fara's fizzgig does more damage than the rest of Gelflingkind.

Faggots. Worse than the Skeksis.

Agreed, although the real faggots are the UrSkeks. Fuck I hate those cunts so damn much.

Why can't Urru and Skeksis live in simple autoerotic relationships like the Heretic and his Urru?

Rian's dad too, actually, but you kind of expect an army captain to be able to get a surprise attack on a distracted enemy.

UrSkek genocide fucking WHEN
I want to see those tree fuckers burn.

Maybe they taste good?

Man if this show gets renewed I can't wait to see skekUng and the start of the Garthim War. They were intimidating enough in the film with the constraints of the time, and if it's up to standard with this season the Garthim and the new General could be even more entertaining than the scenes with the Hunter.

Was it ever stated what role the Gruenak corpses had in the creation of the Garthim? It seems like they're Arathim soldiers modified with skekTek's bionics, random body parts stapled together and hopped up on Crystal energy.

Between him and the writer of Chernobyl maybe filmmakers should just stick to TV and something they care about.

The original film is apparently the top film on Netflix right now and the show's on top of the Trending Now section there. Pretty good chance for a season 2 all things considered. I just hope Louis Leterrier comes back to direct.

They don't really have a standing army though.

Not outright stated but implied.

I'd tell him to have skeks

I think it was the connecting tissues and organs needed for successful revivification, and some additional armor was put on them as well. Given that's the prototype and they were just empty shells in the film, I assume SkekTek works out how to mass produce them artificially.

Thank you, Thra

It's pretty heavily implied they played a role, aye, but I was mostly wondering what it really was. Are their lobotomized brains the "intelligence" behind the Garthim? They seem fairly mindless otherwise so it might be interesting to explore all the mad science that went into making them in a second season.

kek

It's not one to be an instant blockbuster, it was always going to need to spread slower with word of mouth. It seems to be doing that, thanks to its sheer quality. Netflix don't just go solely on viewership either, they do take note of the huge critical acclaim the series has gotten.

What if I love Skeksis AND Gelflings?

We need to shill harder.

Listen here little Lord of the Crystal. You're gonna get a lot of hurtful and degrading comments, but that ain't what I'm about. Let me just say, you are perfect the way you are. You hear me Skeksis?

Near complete freedom to ham it up. The Skeksis are almost completely without morals, are naturally impulsive and energetic, and have very defined characterisation thanks to the original film.

A couple dark scenes don't make it dark as a whole, the whole Deet plotline for example was way too lighthearted (unless it taks a dark turn don't spoil im only 4 episodes in) and the stuff with that princess is very kiddy too.

The Skeksis scenes are the only times it gets kinda dark and even then it's nowhere near as dark as the original

On the contrary they need a lot of fleshing out, they had almost no lines or role in the film, like the Gourmand, Scrollkeeper or Ornamentalist did. The writers took the time to flesh out all the background Skeksis from the film (since only the Chamberlain and Garthim Master have central plot roles, with the Ritual Master and Scientist supporting).

I'm guessing yes. I also think it's a "her".

They have no will to act, Jim Henson explained this himself back in the 80s. They exist in a hazy dream state most of the time. The drive, passion and will is with the Skeksis half. The Archer is unusual that he was more active, just like his Skeksis counterpart was unusually strong and forceful.

Not to mention, killing the Skeksis won't heal the Crystal or Thra. Restoring the Crystal and the UrSkeks is the only way.

They're in charge of the tithe collection and sorting yes. Some of the jobs are pretty trivial.

The series couldn't fully breach into mainstream even with all the hype, so it never will now.

The series is thankfully doing well on Netflix itself but the social media response has been tepid thanks to #SaveTheOA and #CancelNetflix faggots screeching over every Netflix social media post. So at least for right now, it's still our sekrit club until any e"celeb" of note bothers to review it on YouTube or something.

The OA is fucking cringe what the fuck

Seems impossible for people to not project some kind of real life 'bad' onto the skeksis. But they do and are all of the bad.

Eh, realistically they do, being background characters, but I fear the studio might just put keep them there for time/budget constraints. They did put a lot of effort into the background Skeksis in the first season though, so there's always hope.

considering they used molded plastic bags fished out of random garbage containers as hand puppets, probably a whole lot less

I care more about this neutral/good character than any of the gelfling posse and their friends.

imagine being a skesis trying to sleep after a day of your nose faling off and you gotta hear that racket all day

also the use 3d printing is cheaper and saved a whole lot of time probably ?

Don't know about budget, must have been expensive with all the sets and advanced puppets, but the main reason puppetry was abandoned for CGI in Hollywood is it's just easier to make 3D animated characters move and emote believably. Puppets have their limits, the show uses CGI when characters or parts of them are moving in ways that couldn¨t be achieved with puppetry/massive budget. .

which was a mistake, the CGI parts look out of place and very awkward. At least puppetry has soul, real material just has something computers can't replicate (yet)

its because our brain revolts against CGI
puppets are at least something out of our world

I doubt you even noticed two thirds of the CG used. You see a CG monster or stunt and think that's all there is.

I didn't even know the show had any CGI until I watched the BTS.

Has anybody ever been so btfo?

No, the skeksis tongues stand out the most. It's an eyesore.

Name a more satisfying scene

Finally finished this and "the making of". goddam i really hope we get a season two and soon! (although I dont want them to rush it).

cant decide who my favorite skeksis is, maybe skeksil because how cunning he is. But I also really love Mark Hamill as Skektek. What skeksis do you think we will see in the future if we get season 2?

No.

she was still in huge denial over every recent happening being her fault.

Neither the skeks or gelfs can fight
>emperor can just go by himself and keep firing his staff instead of once and forgetting about it
>skeks lazily flailing around not actually doing anything
>gelfs out in the open, not taking advantage of numbers or the huge guerilla advantage aginst slow flailing large target opponets

tuca and bertie was trash that no one ever asked for. also the DC has huge nostalgia factor going for it and is the first to succeed in living up to its legacy so there is no stopping it now.

you forgot the part where the skeksis BTFOd the entire castle guard. You are right that they were lazy in that last battle but they were only interested in toying with a gelfing or two not actually having a full scale battle. Also seeing several comrades die so easily after thousands of years of being invincible was too much.

nah it was good

When the "merciful" demon bird mocked and proceeded to laugh at her as his posse gave her the cinderella treatment and then referred to her as an "it" and called for her to be drained, you'd think she'd at least waver.

Untill you notice the puppeteers arm as his neck. And they dont cover it up like the others for some reason

it's less mysterious because it treats the audience like podlings

That would cause him to die pretty fast. He's already rotting just from being around it. Look what reflecting it did to Deet.
