Not sure where it gets so complicated for you

The show starts out really dull, but picks up quick.

I've only watched the first episode but it gave off a pretty strong GoT vibe. Does that continue?

You fucked up retard you're supposed to watch the movie 2nd
God what a stupid faggot

The show is very good

yes

yes

Kinda?
The fact that events have to go through political processes, and a jumping narrative that favors a variety of characters with different roles meshes with that, but the main conflict is too large to fit with most of what GoT is.

it's better to watch the movie first because it's much more passive and visually dated than the show, and it's good to see things in the order they were made

those faces hit the exact spot in the uncanny valley to be creepy as hell
did children really watch this?

It's actually pretty based.

It's entertaining, family friendly, mostly wholesome and free of poz, and deliciously, blatantly anti-semitic. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I've not seen ANY recent movie or series that contains as much unadulterated truth as this. I'm honestly astounded Netflix put it out to begin with. Let's count the anti-semitic tropes:

>the Skeksis, a hideous, malformed, hooknosed elite, rule over all other creatures in the kingdom (the protagonists being the Gelfling, of which there are different tribes but they appear, for the most part, to be White)

>the Skeksis have convinced the Gelfling they are kind, benevolent rulers and have brainwashed the population to turn on their own whenever any criticism or truth as to the crimes of the Skeksis is revealed

>the Skeksis collect taxes and other forms of tithing from the Gelfling, are disdainful and indignant when they cannot pay, pretending to be poor when in reality they horde all wealth to themselves, indulging in vast feasts and revelries, while the Gelflings are left with almost nothing

>the Skeksis discover how to drain the essence from Gelfling. This essence, which is the Gelflings' life force, keeps them young and prevents them from dying. They believe enough essence will grant them immortality. The essence as it's presented appears disturbingly similar to stories of adrenochrome extraction, but it also works as a metaphor for the way their influence (porn, usury, Hollywood, etc) saps us of our life force and makes them more powerful at the expense of our soul

>as the Dark Crystal is used to drain ever more essence from innocent Gelfling, its power becomes contaminated. An evil rot begins to infect the kingdom and all its creatures. What was good and natural becomes corrupted and turns diseased and evil, and soon after infection, dies (much as we're seeing happen to all nations that accepted the poison offered by jews)

Not really. It wasn't a huge commercial success, and Jim Henson personally blamed those main characters. Apparently he never quite got them looking as good as he hoped they would. It's supposedly what caused him to shift focus to a human protagonist and antagonist for Labyrinth.

It's boring. The fight scenes are awkward and stupid. And they keep bobbing up and down when they walk.

Oh, and one more point:

>they are TERRIFIED of their crimes being revealed to other Gelfling. This upsets them more than anything else and they go to enormous lengths to remain unnoticed.

Oy vey!

>but they appear, for the most part, to be White

Yeah it's pretty obvious (for the most part) that
>these guys good
>these guys bad
But there's easily a dozen things in the movie that aren't really explained and just don't really make much sense. I recently tried rewatching The Neverending Story because of Stranger Things and it's exactly the same. Yeah, I'm sure in my 5 year old brain it was clear that these guys are good and these other guys are obviously bad, but everything else is just random as fuck and still feels like I must have dozed off for a few minutes here and there and missed a few major plot points.

>they keep bobbing up and down when they walk.
like puppets?

I haven't seen the movie or the series, but trailer give me some fascist/volkish vibe. I wonder if it was intentional. It also reminds me of an old PS1 game Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey.

>It also reminds me of an old PS1 game Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey.
Me too, but only when the two Gruenak slaves show up.

Show is excellent, highly recommended

>make a race of gluttonous vultures, literal vultures, who are the embodiment of evil
>they're by far the best characters in the setting
makes you think

they're much more entertaining to watch than the lawful good fairy fru fru elf people. it's hard not to get caught up in their evil revelry and malevolent cackling especially when skeksil starts talking
