Gelfling genocide when?
/hmmm/Dark Crystal Thread
Henry Scott
Thomas Smith
Is it gay to love yourself?
Lucas Allen
>"exposure to the Darkening is not without... consequences *snort*"
How would you react to this?
depends if its pure or not
Parker Flores
why doesn't aughra convince the mystics to kill themselves?
if the skeksis waited long enough, the gelfling would probably do it themselves by accident
James Anderson
push him into the chasm
Chase Roberts
A'ight, we're just gonna head out...
Isaac Diaz
Yes.
Caleb Anderson
>How would you react to this?
Definitely not as chill as SkekVar
Samuel Long
mystics are literally too passive to kill themselves
Landon Turner
>destroys your planet to go through character development
Asher Thompson
I'm gonna guess they'll fit in an explanation about how merging the skeksis and the mystics back together is an important part of stopping the darkening.
Who makes these comics? I like them.
Henry Diaz
UrSkeks are scum. The 18 Exiles as well as the rest of the race.
Julian Taylor
the darkening was caused by the crystal being shattered + abused by the skeksis for thousands of thrine.
Camden Johnson
Wyatt Reed
Only in the ass.
Landon Johnson
Yes but its pure and wholesome so who cares
Parker Gomez
doesn't archer walk off a ledge? however based on the essence transfers surrounding the hunters death it seems like they haven't clarified everything. still strange given they seem to know of skeksis evil and are in touch with thra yet take this route. wish the interactions were more clear
Jace Cooper
That's more or less a summary of human history.
Brody Powell
Archer is an exception. He was the most proactive mystic as the counterpart to the most proactive skeksis
Dominic Miller
Think we'll get to know the mystic counterpart to Skeksil? I wonder what he's like.
Jeremiah Gray
possibly, but they havent shown enough to draw meaninful conclusions. im more interested in the context that prevents the suicide solution
Zachary Martin
>im more interested in the context that prevents the suicide solution
fearing what will happen in death. wanting to re-merge taking precedence over saving thra.
Jaxson Brown
I don't really feel like we'll get much of any kind of focus on the rest of the mystics (other thank skekSo's counterpart)
Aaron Sullivan
Thanks, user.
I'd like more skeksis/mystic interaction in general. From what skekgra said it seems like the rest of the mystics don't want to merge either.
Levi Scott
youtube.com
that's the good shit
Aaron White
yea, they made it explicit for the skeksis. it would be interesting if they introduced the subject as a dilemma between the mystics and gelfling, but given the last episode and seladons forgiveness it doesn't seem like itd change anything. self interest is my assumption, but id like some solid evidence
Evan Allen
well, I guess we might find out if a second season ever happens.
Camden Johnson
Do you want more mystics presence in S2 or nah?
Xavier Miller
Connor James
Absolutely. I want to see what's so "mystic" and "wizard"ly about them.
David Bailey
sure
Bentley Reed
I honestly expect S2 will do a "other gelflings were phased out of existence/hidden in the caves of grot" copout to fit with the movie and as long as the overall story is dark enough I won't mind all that much
Wyatt Stewart
Personally, I am thinking parts of Season 2 might be dedicated to backstory of Thra intermixed with the Garthim war and introduction the rest of the Skeksis. At least, that's how I might do it.
Carson Diaz
is the purpose of aughra entering the hunter and reanimating him specifically during the stonewood battle and its relation to archer hoping off the ledge yet disintegrating before dying explained? wondering if I should rewatch to find clarity
not just for the sake of having them. id hope they already have these types of things planned
Landon James
Yeah there weren't really much presence in the movie either. I want to get to know the skeksis' counterparts too.
Leo Russell
mainly just to save the 3 gelflings that were about to be drained, I guess
Evan Wood
I think Aughra's goal was to save the gelfling in the castle while betting on urVa to sacrifice himself, knowing the hunt must end.
Ryder Thomas
I want to hang a lantern on the end of that thing on the right Skeksis' head.
Carter Baker
Jen is so bad that he makes Rian seem like a good protagonist in comparison
Easton Robinson
I think it's obvious by now that Rian is going to be Jen's dad.
Benjamin Wright
so she had no control over the timing of his revival? i was assuming both aughra and archers actions had some impact, but now im not sure since aughra didnt specify exactly what she wasnt sure would work and archers disintergration could just being censored death
i woulnt place blame, when they're watching the true history of thra it is easy to compare gelfling facial emotes and deet seems to have significantly more range. not sure if puppet, puppeteer, or cgi based as you can also see deets shoulders are more still than the others during head movements
Nolan Kelly
I assume Brea will be Kira's mother
Sebastian Howard
Yes please
Oliver Richardson
Blake Ramirez
SkekMal was too good for this world, even Aughra had mad respect
Jordan Morris
Rubber Ducky, you're the one!
You make hunt time lots of fun!
Dylan Miller
It's my sincere expectation that that's exactly what they intend to do. I picture the Gelfling getting BTFO by the Garthim and seeking refuge, finding the mystics. But also seeking a way to save Deet's soul or something.
Joshua Harris
never lol
Jordan James
William Stewart
Depends.
I'm interested in seeing how skekSa will be introduced.
Benjamin Bell
Fizzgig the look of being extremely unimpressed
Brayden Baker
Honestly, it's kind of a shame we will probably never get whole episodes dedicated to single characters. I bet a lot of skeksis have had interesting lives in their thousands of trine. It kind of feels like a waste to focus on them as a group with a couple standouts like the Emperor and Chamberlain to flesh out.
Wyatt Ross
Dominic Lopez
Juan Gray
That's why we need 6 seasons of this kino.
Isaiah Phillips
Seeing Heretic and UrGoh being bros makes me want to see the other Skeksis interact with their Mystics.
>Chamberlain's mystic has his own version of "hmmmmm"
Henry Lee
Carter Ramirez
Gavin Rogers
>don't have to worry about the darkening when you have a lantern
Nathan Gray
Nice
Hudson Jones
So, it is realistic then?
Jacob Smith
Josiah Wood
>Chamberlain's mystic has his own version of "hmmmmm"
This I've GOT to see
Henry Nguyen
Chase Williams
>he makes a very deep resonating groan
Owen Bailey
We've already seen it
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
They don't call him urSol the Chanter for nothing
Levi Taylor
I hope the Heretic teaches Hup his old warrior's ways.

Ethan Reyes
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
Evan Carter
The one thing that baffles me about the show is how you get one of those from a mix of Spider-creature and potato slave.
Dylan Flores
The spider creature is the exterior. The potato slave is the interior. And that's why they're rock-stupid.
Joshua Jenkins
this pleases my autism
Logan Perez
There is a whole lot of weird shit about the dark crystal world that does not stand up to scrutiny so just go with it.
How do you get evil birds and sloth like lizardmen from Bernie Sanders skeleton ghosts?
Dominic Hill
the gruenaks are just used as gluenaks
Lincoln Jenkins
Gruenaks were described as being mechanically inclined, thougn
Jayden Fisher
WOO HOO
YEAH FRINGE CITY IN THE HOOOOOOUSE
Henry Cooper
Chase Jackson
fuck anyone who says the movie is bad, everything that the show did well had its roots in stuff from the movie and the rest was a GoT-knockoff
Andrew Bailey
They're basically a suit of armor with interior binding. The arathim carapace providing the shell, while the gruenak muscle and sinew makes up the interiors.
Owen Gomez
I bought the Deet funko so that she can be real
Jordan Myers
Deet is already real, she's just in the Henson studios
Easton Nguyen
>fuck anyone who says the movie is bad
Yes
>everything that the show did well had its roots in stuff from the movie and the rest was a GoT-knockoff
Uh, no.
Lincoln White
Was Chamberlain so smug because he knew he would survive anything that happened in the first season? How did he know?
Chase Hernandez
PLAY FREEBIRD!!
Lincoln Allen
Wait, Robot Chicken did an AoR skit?
Zachary Hughes
Matthew Reyes
Are all of you shills or is this show worth watching? Never seen the movie or even heard of it before threads on Yea Forums.
Sebastian Thomas
Angel Allen
Luis Miller
The hell is this?
Benjamin Lopez
MR. HICKEYYYYYYYYYYY. RELEASE ME FROM THIS DARK CRYSTAL AT ONCE!
Angel Ortiz
Age of Resistance is great. Please watch it if you have the time.
Jaxson Adams
Jen says that his clan was killed, it's clearly not stonewood because they're long gone by the movie happens - which clan is he a part of? Or is it likely just a group of survivors from all of them?
Hunter Diaz
Literally the one and only good thing on Netflix
It also redeems Louis Leterrier's entire directing career
Hunter Turner
he has a stonewood emblem on his shirt
Nathaniel Harris
Absolutely worth watching. I saw the movie literally hours before watching the show. I have no nostalgia or reason to push it other than that it completely fucking demolishes anything I've seen in years.
Even if you can't get in to the plot (which I don't see how you couldn't because it's very layered) you'll at least appreciate it as a technical achievement.
That said, if I ever received an offer to shill it, I would without a moment's hesitation.
Adam White
one of those "fan made, vote to make it real" lego sets that lego has on their "ideas" page
I came across some interesting stuff trying to find a good statue of the crystal one night last week
Adrian Perez
>Literally the one and only good thing on Netflix
I liked the western vignette movie the Coen brothers did.
Benjamin Ramirez
so what's the deal with Darkening-Deet?
Henry Howard
This entirely.
I wonder if he was always a good director without an opportunity to properly shine, or that his hand got held through a lot of this. But honestly, it's well directed regardless.
William Johnson
I bet that's gonna drive a lot of Season 2. Either trying to save her soul, or teaming up with the Skeksis to stop her as the greater threat.
Oliver Morales
you mean Darth Deet
Dylan Garcia
Interesting
Wyatt Peterson
I stand corrected. It is one of the TWO only good Netflix originals. And maybe Roma
I have a strong feeling he's been coasting on shitty scripts his whole career. For as bad and nonsensical as Now You See Me was, I can in no way call it a badly made film (On a technical level.)
Owen Parker
Thomas Price
based T-Pain
Justin Garcia
Final component of the garthim
Lucas Thomas
Shall be watching it then.
Christian Howard
>It's actually him
What the fuck?

Nathaniel Jackson
ENOUGH GELFLING POSTING
Brandon Bell
I'm the gelflingfag that made that lmao
Tyler Clark
Poor Hup. I hope he at least gets with Brea.
Thomas Howard
No
Matthew Ross
>
Not going to happen, Hup is a podling, he will be the stand in for little boys, dreaming of being a Knight, in love with Deet but both dreams are not possible.
Eli Thompson
Caleb Hughes
YOU ARE CRINGE
Hunter Martin
Dark Deet will probably kill Hup when he tries to rescue her from the darkness.
Brody Ward
What are the favorite ice cream flavors of all the Skeksis?
Nathaniel Barnes
fuck you Princess Dykegum
Easton Smith
I really hope this series does well so I can get some merch. Those weta statues are way too expensive and the Hup one is overly detailed in the face.
Elijah Wright
Logan Turner
wholesome
degenerate
Tyler Ross
I wouldn't have gotten the Pop if I wasn't desperate enough for Deet merch that didn't cost me an arm and a leg
I'm hoping for more figures from other companies, a Nendoroid in particular would be great.
Aaron Watson
Isaiah Wilson
fuckin Scary Stories lookin ass Skeks
Jayden Foster
apparently we are going to get more skekVar when the comic book comes out on Wednesday. Which is good because hes a good boy.
Josiah Scott
This show is better than it has any right to be
Jayden Sanchez
I'm hype as fuck for the comic, "benevolent" Skeksis have been something I've really been wanting to see after the few glimpses you can see in the show. Like yeah, they're all utterly horrible and irredeemable individuals, but there's a clearly a reason the gelfs trusted them before they became genocidal crackheads. There's a lot of cool dynanics you could work with.
Jackson Rogers
All the creepy shit in this series and it's Skekzok's bottom teeth that bother me more than anything else.
Jackson Myers
I have a feeling one of the glaring issues of the mystics is that they act as a collective rather than individuals, hence why the Skeksis are so interesting. The Skeksis all act selfishly and pride themselves in their titles and their unique roles, yet the mystics seem to be the opposite, living in a small spot all reciting the same incantations and weaving about the same sands every day. Only ones that act outside the mold like the Wanderer and the Archer get to have their personalities.
Hudson Gomez
scroll keeper looks badass here. He needs to lose the glasses
Nathaniel Gray
i love skeklach's stupid perfect face
Isaiah Nelson
I wonder how often she got made fun of for being ugly as fuck
Joseph Wilson
It's a completely out of left field fantasy story with really creative designs and puppetry.
The movie is a basic save the world plot but the presentation of the creatures and the eeriness of the dying world give it a unique feeling not present in most movies. The show builds upon that same mood by creating a prequel series to lead into the events of the movie while retaining the integrity of the original puppet work and storyline.
It's better than it has any right to be, but it's only good if you can stomach the strange and creepy looking designs.
Levi Barnes
Me and my friend are going to watch the movie on the weekend.
Will I get to look upon more WONDER of the heretic?
Brandon Cruz
His glasses make his design you heathan
SkekLach was beautiful! Beautiful!
Christopher Murphy
Heretic was created for the show
Gavin Baker

Chase Jones
I gotchu fellow Hupchad
Anthony Morales
Thank you, this shit cracks me up so much.
Zachary Bell
ahem
FUCK Seladon
Caleb Thompson
Calm down skekSo, I'm sure she'll suck your dick if you ask
Daniel Brown
I don't think the other skeksis have much room to talk. None of them had won any beauty competitions for hundreds of trine.
Ian Stewart
Oh god yes please
Ethan Butler
these puppets look stupid and gay
Ian Hernandez
Why didn't Rian just dreamfast with people who didn't believe him, like the villagers whose cart he fixed in ep 3?
Anthony Robinson
In one of the scenes at stone wood village a female podling flirts with Rian, is that canon confirmation that gelfings and podlings screw?
Ryan Bennett
They modeled them after you, user. You should be flattered.
Logan Long
I wonder what essence tastes like.
Chase Bailey
If it tastes like Deet it must be wonderful
Chase Edwards
They are in fact very gay
Sebastian Wood
The Skeksis spread the lie that he went mad from a disease spread by Dreamfasting
A big arc he has is getting others to believe him
Ryan Johnson
Your face is stupid and very gay.
Ayden Young
Assimilation isn't gay.
Jayden Garcia
These drawings give me a headache
Nolan Adams
>gives life force at will.
what a bunch of madmen.
Joseph King
Do Skeksis top or bottom the Mystics?
Logan Stewart
They fucked it's canon I don't make the rules
Hunter White
Still fucks me up that Bill Hader of all people was the Wanderer, and absolutely NO ONE knew he was in the show before it came out.
And I thought Andy Samberg shocked me.
Christopher Rogers
Depends on the pair. SkekGra is quite clearly a bottom.
Logan Ross
Aughra did SkekTek, SkekMal and urVa
Brody Ortiz
He killed millions
Anyways, how do you think he'll turn Thra FUBAR in S2?
Nathaniel Perez
This is addressed directly and almost immediately in the show
Ethan Long
I'm on episode 3, they mentioned that they'd say Rian's sick and whatnot but they didn't show any parts saying that they spread this misinformation to the Gelfling public
Hudson Baker
I accept this canon.
Brody Hill
Chamberlain mentioned he'd spread the lie in episode 2
Do you just have a problem with it happening offscreen?
Camden Russell
No I was just hasty with my question, it was answered when Rian went to the Maudra.
Ayden Bennett
Can’t wait to see SkekUng show up and make SkekSil his bitch. We’ll also finally get to see what the fuck is meant by SkekUng being the strongest Skeksis because of how he positions/centers himself.
Adrian Young
She is the only Skeksis I actively disliked. Literally added nothing but being fucking disgusting.
Aaron Adams
It’s pretty telling how someone willing to beat the shit out of his brothers just because he’s stronger was so loyal to the Emperor, who he could technically challenge.
Chase Flores
>skekUng makes his entrance by dual-lifting 200lb weights and posturing, going "Yes!" and nodding to everyone
Jaxon Torres
Gotcha
Carry on then
Remember that Ung was one of the Skeksis who DIDN'T live at the castle. Even if he went a bit senile with the rest of them in the film, he still wasn't a retard like the rest and took nobody's shit. That's super common among the Skeksis who don't live at the castle, I think he'll probably come in with perspectives like "You fucking idiots are doing all of this wrong".
Doesn't Ung not actually try essence until he becomes Emperor in the film?
Thomas Moore
I loved skekZok's booming voice in the original. Pretty disappointing by his portrayal in the show. He seems a lot less regal.
Dominic Sanders
I like his show voice...
He sounds pretty sadistically enthused all the time, it's charming in its own way.
Jose Johnson
I want to hug skekVar!
Jack Nguyen
Which one though?
Benjamin Williams
*chomp*
Oliver Ramirez
All three of them. She's got a mouth and two working hands.
Aaron Flores
"without a doubt, that's why you're the emperor sire"
Adrian Flores
I thought the Skeksis costumes were worn by midgets when they needed to walk but apparently they're taller than a fucking person
Jacob Fisher
"Dear god your nose came off"
William Rivera
What makes SkekUng the Garthim Master? Will we find out in Season 2?
Charles Bell
I'd like to see what SkekSo's Mystic is up to, the so-called 'wisest of the Mystics'. Other than raise Jen to be a practical idiot and inform him about his quest at the last fucking moment he hasn't done much yet.
Cooper Carter
Ok what is the best quote of the series and why is it "cease all merrymaking"?
Jason Bailey
>Hup... want... die!
Nathan Brown
Watch the making of doc on Netflix
Luke Thompson
>"fuck the only realist who foresaw that the gelfling had no chance at war with the skeksis who were thought to be immortal"
the equivalent would be hawaii telling US to go fuck themselves because maybe a couple of more states would be in on it, the power difference between skeksis and gelfling is quite a vast gap especially when they're high on essence, rewatch this scene to understand
youtu.be
Kevin Morales
Leo Parker
Hup's legs are much too long too. Throws the whole thing off.
Hunter Rivera
>that part where Deet calls Rian a moon cricket
Brayden Barnes
He just seem the most huggable out of all the skeks.
Carter Bailey
Can I ask how do I get into this? I love stuff like Labyrinth and other fantasy stuff but the fact that this thing has zero even vaguely human looking characters it’s so hard for me to get into it and not feel weird watching it. I tried to watch the movie cause I wanted to check out the show but I couldn’t get through it they look so weird
Aaron Ortiz
Keep on deepthroating those boots
Evan Morgan
Sweet good boy
Tyler Wright
Based
Evan Carter
Try the show for 2 episodes. It is different from the film that it immediately gets into all the characters and their plots, while the film was more of an impressionist fever dream.
Kevin Rogers
"when boss man tell working man to come in early what did working man do? came in early"
"when wife tell you to go pick up milk on way to home what did husband do? pick up milk yes"
"words are easy to spew but hard to keep no? would big mouth really stand up in a room full of great fighters for honor? chamberlain doubt"
"seladon smart girl for trying to make peace but seladon also naive for trusting skeksis, when think of it like ruler it great option, when think of it with knowledge of floating eye it seem stupid, viewer floating eye, seladon a ruler"
Jaxson James
Never specified
Ryan Collins
>non-human characters aren't a plus
That's what makes it so beautifully fantastic nigga
Thra is literally an alien planet, of course shit's gonna look weird there. It's kinda like Star Wars wherein a big part of the charm lies in how these timeless themes of heroism, bravery, and uniting against a greater evil can translate so wonderfully into such a bizarre world. Even on tiny alien planets populated by midgets and genocidal reptiles, hope still thrives and heroes arise to make sure it lives on.
Andrew Nelson
Jayden Carter
The other half of Key and Peele was one of the few shit voice actors
Angel Johnson
Same. I imagine him being kinda pissed when he finds out the gelfling are rebelling because of what the Skeksis did.
Dominic Robinson
Unfortunately the original VA for him died in 2012
Camden Lee

Michael Lewis
>chamberlain tries to do things smart
>general fucks it up by coaxing emperor to war
>skeksis feast on the dairy cows and start war with their own farm
man it would suck to be a skeksis
William Baker
Seladon decided she knew more her mother, her siblings, and the avatar of Thra, the closest thing they have to a God. She's a bootlicking whore that couldn't stand the thought of being wrong so much that she attempted to betray her entire species.
Fuck seladon, and all collaboraters like her.
Jordan Lee
I miss him already
Andrew Hernandez
>tfw your only sexual experience is with the obese bearded avatar of a planet
Poor guy.
Austin Bailey
I'm still reeling from how fucked up Ordon's death was.
Christopher Butler

Cooper Gomez
She was a pretty good example of how overt the antisemitism is in the show

How was it fucked up even?
Where's the art from?
Caleb Morales
Bro go reevaluate your life and work through your issues with a licensed therapist
Brandon Phillips
I'm really gonna have to leave this site until S2's release.
I already want more but we won't get it until over a fucking year from now. This wait is gonna be brutal. Threads for my favorite things just amplify my autistic fixations around them for nearly months at a time and this show is no different. And the hiatus absolutely isn't gonna help when I just want to talk about my favorite shit more when it won't be coming in fucking ages.
I need to take a break.
Robert Lopez
You're right. Maybe I should try the same thing.
Landon Bell
I'm trying to cope with the wait by getting people to watch the series and the movie
Already got one to watch the movie so I'm making progress
Kevin Gomez
These threads are all I've got as far as fueling my obsession over this show. Like an addict, I need to get my daily fix of this fucking puppet shit.
Luke Jones
Nightmare fuel
David Nelson
Exposure to puppet kino is not without.... consequences
Jacob Parker
How did the Hunter survive that?
Grayson Sanders
He's too big for the gobbles
Henry Morris
I did it before when another show I really like went on hiatus, I'll probably do the same here.
I'm not gonna mince words, my time off this site was probably the happiest I've ever been in a long damn time. I was actually productive and doing shit I loved, I actually felt fulfilled. I basically only came back for this show and I'm falling back into my old self-destructive habits (And let's be honest, probably terrible addiction) again. For the sake of my own mental health, I need to leave asap.
I'm trying to get my friends to watch it but they're all busy with their own shows and shit. I just wish they knew how good this was so they could just watch it right away. I've at least got 2 people watching it and 2 more saying they will soon, so that's something at least.
I feel like I do too, and that's exactly the problem. This show inadvertently got me to stop fapping probably because talking about it on this site has fried my dopamine receptors. Turn back.
He's probably explored all of Thra with a better lay of the land than anyone else. He's probably encountered gobbles many times and knows how to escape.
Jonathan Jenkins
>being this obtuse
Luis Cook
he is wearing thicker cloth / armor, he is much larger and he reach the bottom of the thing with his feet before he got nommed
Zachary Torres
How can this show create any tension?
I love the characters and puppets but it's a solved equation. There's a very specific amount of skeks and we know exactly how each one pans out and know how the series definitely ends
As a result, nothing can be interesting with mystics there either
only Gelflings can generate any drama and they're lame
Cooper Bailey
NO ONE CAN END THE HUNT
Gavin Gomez
>confirmation bias overload
Alexander Ramirez
That's just the nature of prequels user
And gelflings aren't lame
Michael Morgan
I think it's the nature of having a specific, concrete number of skeks and mystics
you can't introduce any new ones to be heroes or villains or kill off, because the number is set
Isaiah Evans
I like the Mystic and the land strider
Kevin Anderson
>"fuck the only realist who foresaw that the gelfling had no chance at war with the skeksis who were thought to be immortal"
muh order aka I want to rule and will accept then ignore challenges to my rule because I'm a huge, selfish bitch with mommy issues
aughra was the only one that did what you're talking about
Owen Martinez
It's not what happens, but how it happens
Sebastian Collins
For the sake of my wallet and the utterly stupid amounts of money I'm going to pay for the Deet Weta statue when that releases, I pray this never gets made.
Isaiah Price
Why do the Weta statues have to be so damn expensive?
Julian Carter
had she taken her offer to the chamberlain and had the general not coaxed emperor to war her plan would have worked, you presume that the characters in the show have the knowledge the viewers have of events
Ayden Fisher
They're actually insanely well-made. It's more akin to something like a Hot Toys figure where the value is in the painstaking detail and build quality. It's exorbitant, but you do get what you pay for.
Not that I'm paying for it, that shit's WAY too expensive for me to justify buying something that'll just sit in my room. I'll just wait for better vinyl figures.
Bentley Gray
>We’ll also finally get to see what the fuck is meant by SkekUng being the strongest Skeksis because of how he positions/centers himself.
Yoga?
Elijah Foster
did you watch the show?
Wyatt Robinson
I hate that fucking funko has the monopoly on them. Nothing they make looks good. Even the old Re-Action figures that are now $300 look like bootlegs of a superior figure.
Daniel Gray
>you presume that the characters in the show have the knowledge the viewers have of events
what the fuck are you talking about?
Seladon's plan working or not has nothing to do with what I posted. She's got mommy issues and wanted to rule, regardless of what was best for the gelfling.
Ethan Brooks
Everything else is great but I can't stop laughing at that fucking skeksis face holy shit
Carson Taylor
Same. I'm tempted to buy them out of desperation, but at this point I'd shill for a NECA figure if they made 'em. The funko figures look like shit.
Michael Cruz
>your mom decides that ragtag gelflings can challenge a superpower
>"mom, that's fucking retarded you can't win vs them, we don't have the power to beat them"
>"shut up dear, adults are talking"

>*mom gets murdered for treason*
i would want to rule too if the current ruler of collection of shit huts ruled by midgets wanted to go make war vs legendary seemingly immortal beings instead of sacrificing few to save the many
ask a general in a war how many soldiers he would be willing to sacrifice to save the rest of his troops
Juan Ward
Why were the mystics able to stay the Garthim with their voices if they're just science abominations?
Carter Moore
Being a wizard has to count for something.
Adam Morgan
not sure perhaps they were made to recognize the skeksis as their master and they recognized something skeksis in the mystics
Christopher Wilson
At this point I'm so desperate that I'm literally just going to sculpt the Chamberlain and his mystic out of clay if I ever get the time.
Sebastian Cox
you can ignore the show all you want, it doesn't change anything about Seladon having a selfish motivation that was all about her political power and not saving the gelfling
even Seladon disagrees with you
Bentley Robinson
Yeah, it sucks. The good news is that other maufacturers usually come in after the first wave of normalfag merch that Funko makes for properties and it's usually a lot more high quality and aesthetically pleasing. Don't buy the Deet Pop like I did because I'm a waifufag retard who really wanted the one that glows blue in the dark because it reminds me of her glow moss appearances , wait for better figures when they inevitably come along.
As for the ReAction figures, isn't that the point? They're supposed to look like old, cheap 70s-80s toys. I remember the Alien ones were cool.
Tyler Kelly
They're technically part Skeksis
Dylan Hill
show me a selfless motivation that has ambition and ill show you a honest man
Logan Gray
Ryder Price
We're all wizards here
Where do you think you are?
Nolan Collins
>buying something that looks subpar because it makes you nostalgic for other things that looked subpar
I don't get it.
Angel Peterson
Seladon is a little selfish but that goes back to her mom raising her to think that the Skeksis are perfect beings not to be questioned, and that she as All-Maudra is responsible for upholding the status quo at whatever cost. Then when mom does a heel turn because of her dumbass, irresponsible sister, Seladon can't comprehend it and she snaps into collaborator mode.
Tl;dr I blame her mom for everything
Carson Wilson
Yes I know you are but what are they?
Nathan Moore
I'm glad you agree Seladon is a selfish bitch that only wanted her political power. You didn't have to be so obtuse about it.
Henry Taylor
>oh no we hit a dog
Jason Carter
>skekok gets an extra set of glasses between the show and the movie
Elijah Powell
....how did I not notice that.
Brandon Green
Yeah, I don't get it either. But boomers eat the ReAction line up apparently, I just know that they like it a lot. Don't shoot the messenger.
Eli Clark
If I saw this as a kid I would have fucking shat myself for 5 years to come. It's the only thing in the show which I think goes above and beyond to be horrifying.
Juan Morales
you're projecting your own values onto it so hard it is almost laughable if it weren't so sad
Gabriel Martinez
Understandable user, I'm not criticising you at all.
Jaxson Thomas
It's aight
Julian Lee
Soundtrack for thread
youtu.be
James Rogers
Mystics are the qtest critters in all Thra, change my mind.
Tyler Williams
I think urSu at least deserves some spotlight
Isaac Foster
They'd be a lot cuter if they weren't inadvertently complicit in genocide by being lazy cunts
Ryan Cruz
Don't care honestly, Gelfling deserve it
Jaxson Edwards
Honestly Kylan reminds me more of Jen than Rian does
Carson Hall
They are quite huggable. Like big dogs that you could fall asleep on as a kid.
Nicholas Miller
What if the other crystal shards Jen searches through in the film were also from the dual glaive stabbing Skeksis and draining their inert essence?
Go to bed drainer
Robert Butler
You wouldn't kill yourself, even to stop a genocide.
Easton Gomez
And that is why Archer is the absolute best.
Cooper Stewart
You drastically underestimate how much I want to kill myself.
Cameron Clark
>you're so sad, I'm the enlightened one
I'm not projecting anything, the show tells you in no uncertain terms her motivation. Seladon switches sides for fuck's sake. I think you're projecting your projection onto me. Since you've shifted to pure posturing at this point, there's no reason to keep talking to a pupppet-fucker. Seladon was right about one thing, it should have been her that got killed.
Ian Martinez
you can't choose the picture but you can choose which part of it you focus on, have a nice day
James Walker
Robert Young
They're probably somehow hardwired to never, ever engage with or risk harming a Mystic under any circumstances.
Blake Green
Does it really matter when one feels everything the other feels and vice versa?
Gavin Adams
SkekSo's room is top comfy, damn
Matthew Ross
>I AM STILL COMFY
Jason Baker
Honestly, every voice actor in this absolutely nailed it, I'm really impressed.
From Simon Pegg being completely unrecognizable as the Chamberlain to fucking out-of-nowhere Andy Samberg, Bill Hader and Keegan-Michael Key, plus a bunch of Game of Thrones actor and Mark Hamill thrown in for good measure, I've just been loving every performance so far.
Jacob Edwards
If only Netflix didn't have this stupid fucking "releasing everything at once" format
I mean I'm glad I got to watch the whole show, but imagine how much more noise and discussion it could have created if it had been released over several months, keeping us all guessing about where the story's going next.
Justin James
Goddamn even at the end of their reign they still live in luxury like that. I hate being a poorfag.
Aiden Sanders
And it would have worked exceptionally well here because there were some real what the fuck moments.
Elijah Martinez
youtube.com
I guess Ritual master made up a death ritual in between the show and movie. This music would have spooked me as a kid.
Benjamin Howard
Stay comfy lil skek
Jayden Long
Suddenly skeks started dying and he knew it was his time to shine. He was probably giddy with anticipation waiting for his boss to croak.
Xavier Cruz
His job is probably really fun
Joshua Wright
Really want to see more Skek bedrooms now. What does Chamberlain's look like, or Ornamentalist's? Does Scientist get a bedroom or do they make him sleep in his lab?
Anthony Wilson
>His eyes get worse
Joseph Baker
Ornamentalist killed hundreds of birds for one cloak, he probably made several species extinct for his bedroom
Jaxson Young
Based.
Josiah Ross
>The nigger touched me!
Ryder Jones
Skeksis killing birds feels a little like feeding a buffalo hamburgers.
David Johnson
I need a drawfag to do a disheveled, torn-cloth Seladon with her black crown askew and thick mascara tears.
Parker Cooper
I thought he just tasted like shit. Like a joke that the Gobbles would eat anything but a Skeksis, so they threw him up.
Christopher Carter
Ehh, a draw-fag did the porn equivalent of that in the trash thread.
Hudson Robinson
Seek help
....But if you get your hands on one... you lemme know.
Brody Lopez
I like how sincerely confused he is by affection
Grayson Watson
It's a start but those are rookie hour tears. I need thick rivulets casting globules of mascara black as tar, mixing together with her drool, lipstick, and stray strands of hair.
Ryan Wood
Christian Perry
I know I've hit rock bottom with my obsession when the thought of this starts appealing to me.
Colton Flores
He was trying so hard.
Kevin Reed
There is a percentage of the series devoted to skeks dancing.
Jose Phillips
Stone wood. Odds are a lot of clans have been exterminated by that time.
Aaron Ortiz
>any right to be
Nonsense, it is as good as we expected for the Dark Crystal.
Anthony Mitchell
It's definitely way better than I expected. Both from a technical standpoint and a story-telling standpoint.
Nathaniel Ramirez
>You've been visited by SkekSo the sleepy, good rest and not-horrible dreams will come, but only if you comment "I am the Emperor!"
Jaxon Nguyen
Another point is that the guard turned on them and they slaughtered their own guards.
These guys were betrayed but they also outnumbered the skeks and everyone one of them was armed and trained. The hunter seemed to fight Rian and his dad to a standstill until you realize their actual fight was like two minutes.
Aaron Anderson
But most importantly a Hup standpoint.
Parker Hill
The thing is that she has been raised and tutored to do two things: Make the skeks happy and stay in charge. So she tries to avoid a probable genocide making the skeks happy and staying in charge.
Where it all fell apart is that the skeks did not respect the gelfs at all and rejoiced at the idea of killing them all, just for the fun of it. She was queen of the Gelfs but they had no respect for the entire species,
