Hhhhmmmmmmmmmm?
based skek CHAD
>>215581767The show was great.
>>215581767It sucks that it was cancelled
>>215581767skekSil best muppet. Too bad no one draws skeksis anymore
What the fuck was wrong with Jim Henson? Why did he think making scary puppets was a good idea?
>>215582538The gelflings are scarier
>>215582538Children back then were treated normal and not like the retards zoomers are
>>215582538He wanted to do a puppet version of Lord of the Rings, but inability to get the rights aside, he concluded it was too damn big to do as one movie, so he decided to make up his own high fantasy setting.
>>215581767PLS PLS
>>215581767Mmmmmhhhmmmmm
The threads for the show were so fun. Very unfortunate because I think most people can watch it and see it wasn't continuing if it wasn't getting a shitload of viewers which it had no chance. Basically movie quality but split into a whole season.
>>215582250I didn't like that the Gelflings were like "The Skeksis treat us great we owe them so much!" but never show what they actually do for them if anything.
Really sad nobody picket it up after Netflix cancellation. Then again at least this way it was never ruined.>>215584279Anyways how is your Sexlife?
Skeksis are basically Jews, that's why the show was cancelled
>>215584489>skeksis>kikessswas Jim Henson dare I say... BASED?
The tv-series is puppet-kino, I will rewatch it soon
>>215584439The fact that we got one season from Shitflix of all companies is a bright light in the darkness.
>>215584439I dunno but something about these fantasy sets and practical animatronics make me warm and fuzzy inside
>>215585070Same.
>>215584439i wouldve borrowed the blonde one for a night or two
The Dark Crystal and and Age of Resistance are peak dark fantasy. so outerworldly beautiful and soulful>>215585093>not choosing seladon
>>215584489>>215585021
>>215585055I was considering rewatching it just a few hours ago. I have to skip the parts with the pus leaking skeksi. I threw up when they leaked pus in their food and didn't notice and ate it.
>>215585256its a blessing and a curse
>>215584439>Really sad nobody picket it up after Netflix cancellationwas never any real chance of that happening, with the amount of money they spent on it and only about four people watching it, it would have to be someone like bezos at amazon loved it and would have been fine losing money to finish it like when the expanse got cancelled, no other proper networks would ever pick it up.
>>215581767I always mistake this for Dinosaurs
>>215581767I HATE YOUR WHIMPER!
>>215585256>goy dents What the fuck does this even mean LMFAO
> I'm not ready to go alone2 seconds pass> Alright, alone thenWhat did he mean by this?
>>215586937teeth for goyim
>>215587214he needed 2 seconds to get ready
Kira a best
>>215586148Oh I didn't notice that and I've watched it all twice, that's gross!
>>215585256In a world of lies, the truth hurts.
>>215581767who is /tv/s favorite skeksis? for me its the empreror and then the chamberlain
>>215581767
>>215588164the first emperor
My gf loves Labyrinth but didn't even know about Dark Crystal. Can't wait to show her both the movie and the tv show.
>>215588164Skekmal the hunter
>>215588291Very nice very wholesome enjoy
>>215584434... that was the point. The Gelfling were all brainwashed for generations into thinking the Skeksis were good to them, without ever actually questioning what they supposedly did.It's supposed to make you question those same cases in your own life, where (if you're American) you get repeatedly told a certain hostile country is your "greatest ally", or (if you're from a kingdom) you get repeatedly told having royalty is a good thing.
>>215584434I mean none of them got attacked by wild animals and we know that there's a lot of dangerous ones in Thra
>>215587214It was an attempt to baby the viewer and give some internal narration.There are weird bootleg, spliced videos you can find online of the movie's original intent:Every species was to speak a different language.This was why Ogra speaks so weird when she asks Jen if he is a gelfling - she was speaking a foreign language.This also made Kira's power of being able to speak all languages so much more potent.this is all beside the point, which is in that scene you reference - there originaly was no voice over at all. Jen just pauses to stare at this vast overworld, and hesitate, then steel his resolve and move forward.But I guess they didnt think it got the point across, so they added it in Blade Runner style.
>>215586780Dinosaurs is also Henson kino but doesn’t compare to dark crystal.
>>215587214>character doubts himself, believing he isn't capable of doing what must be done>but realises there's literally no one else, he HAS to do it, and that drives him forwardAre Americans really this media illiterate?
Not the chad you might expect if someone tells you they are a puppeteer.
>>215589626it's funny how Bethesda cribbed the Garthim design for Fallout 4
>>215589414Kira's cute feet
Hmmmmm?
>>215589705>We were sole-bonding, you and I.
>>215586679look up the list of A-list actors they paid to play the puppet's voices. I guarantee you 90% of the budget was wasted on their "talent.">Mark Hamil >Simon Pegg>Natalie Dormer>Helena Bonham Carter >dozens of other lesser but still recognizable celebs WHY THE FUCK did they need to pay millions of dollars to get these people into the soundbooth when their voices aren't even recognizable in the show anyway? They could have funded the entire series if they hired talented no-names instead of buying all these giant celebs a sixtieth yacht. Any theatre queer off the street could do Skek-Tek's nasally voice. Paying a giant celeb like Mark Hamil to do it is just wasteful.
>>215589760I'd fuck a female gelfling that's for sure I've known that for a long time
>>215591000That opening narration by Sigourney Weaver was originally going to be done by Kira's VA from the original movie.It's all about marketing this weird niche show based on a weird niche movie to normies.
>>215591050I was watching some documentary material on the movie, and apparently all these artists, a shit ton of visual artists, came up with all the creature designs and what-not, and THEN they wrote a story and script based on and around the designs. Based. George Lucas had a similar thing going on with the prequels in some instances but not to that degree obviously.

>>215582859jim henson lord of the rings would have been insane
>>215588383skekmal is really cool>>215588164for me its this hippie
>>215582538If you think puppets are scary you might be a faggot
hmmmmMMMMM?

>>215592568On the Skeksis and their lies
>>215586679I was thinking Apple TV. They seem to have money to blow.>>215591000They all did a great job but I feel like getting all these big names was still a mistake.
>>215588199as promotion the Skeksis should have roamed around a city.
>>215593116simon pegg as chamberlain and jason isaacs were great but yeah could have done with other voice actors as wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY2yyHKMHd0
>>215593184Starscream as Scientist couln't have been too pricey
