      It's all about money. They called Age Of Resistance "an expensive failure." If it had a larger audience (like that of Stranger Things), I'm certain that it would have been renewed. Stranger Things is exceptionally popular and nigh impossible with which to compete.

      He still has typical evil traits skeksis bare, it's just he has redefined them. you can tell its there still under the surface. It's just he stresses self control.

      @HijackTheJackal 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      @@AngelEmfrbl I totally agree! This is seen a lot in the first meeting of SkekGra, where he even refers to Hup as a slave, multiple times. He was inherently created to show that he indeed has these negative aspects that all the Skeksis are known for, but acts differently on them.
      It kind of reminds me of when you meet a seemingly nice, intelligent person, and they turn out to be socially impolite at the worst times, showing their true feelings and colors.
      Whether or not this is because he's a junkie is up for debate, but I wouldn't put it past him.
      Overall, his character feels more life-like than the other skeksis, because he accurately shows how people can have both good, and bad opinions about their situation, and society around them.
      At the end of the day, it's even hard to decipher if he's a "good guy" or not. Sure, he stands behind the Gelfling Revolt, but his Skeksis way of thinking is very obviously embedded in his brain, which could stand for another social commentary on Nature vs. Nurture!

Another is that in thra's history there've been 3 great conjunctions set apart every 999 trine, the first was when the urskeks arrived in thra, the second was when the urskeks tried to purify themselves with the crystal and corrupted it which ended in them becoming urru and skeksis, and the third was when Jen reunited the fractured shard of the crystal with the crystal which purified it and reunited the urru and skeksis into urskeks

    I also wonder about UrGoh's relationships with the other Mystics and how his decision to stay with SkekGra went down. I would think the Mystics welcomed the Wanderer to come with, but he simply refused.
    The Heretic and Wanderer may be alone but all the same they're together! And they try to be as close and unified as they can be in their current state. Now I know they will both die together at some point, but until then I SERIOUSLY hope nothing torturous happens to either one of them in season 2!

    We have no clue if the crystal is really the *only* way they can rejoin. Perhaps as the gelfling are wiped out and Auhgra defeated, these two would combine and force the Skeksis to retreat while they hide Jen. (also causing the Garthim to retreat to the castle, thus never finding Kira)
    This would also work because they could work with Auhgra to preserve the remainder of the world that isn't corrupted, thus leading as to why there's as much as there is during the events of the movie.
