Now that we have SkekSil’s Bio, I think it would only be fitting to do SkekVar’s next!
I always liked how Chamberlain tells Scientist that he is not smart like him, when really he is arguably the smartest of them.
no
Well, they are both smart. Just in different areas. Chamberlain is smarter when it comes to decieving and cunning wit. The Scientist is smart in, well, the sciences.
It's a nice bit of characterization which sets him up perfectly.
I invented germany
God emperor Of mankind i serve you almighty lord of germany
skekSil is probably the evilest of the Skeksis. They all fear death, therefore killing one of their own as a taboo, but skekSil doesn't think twice about killing skekVar, even when he is no longer a threat. He is also shown never to grieve. The other skeksis seem to react in some way when their comrades die, either be it because they are reminded of their own mortality or because of genuine sadness, but skekSil only fains sadness. This is why I love him so much, not just because of his bizzare speech pattern.
I wonder if SkekSil is the most evil and deceitful Skeksis around, does this mean his Mystic counterpart UrSol would be the most honest and kind hearted Mystic?
They are opposites truth to be told
@@WhiteSwarm Well, I don't really see skeksis and mystics as opposites, just the good and bad of the same person. Like if skekSil knows exactly what to use words to get his way, urSol knows exactly what to say if someone needs to feel better or needs moral advice. They both would have a way with words but use this talent for entirely different reasons.
Agreed!
Lizaandré Gerber mmmmmmmmmmmm
I'd say that SkekSo is without a doubt the most _evil_ of the Skeksis, but SkekSil is the most _self-serving_ despite his claims to the contrary. SkekSo comes across as by far the most evil of the Skeksis. SkekSil may have killed one of his own, but I believe the only reason SkekSo didn't practice outright murder was because to him keeping up the perception that Skeksis were immortal was more important than his need to vent his wrath or his need to cause harm.
I remember when the Dark Crystal movie first came out in 1982 (I was born in 1972) and all throughout school kids were running around making the Chamberlains "MMMmmm..." whimper sounds whenever we could!
Hahaha amazing
I have been doing that for years and no one knew I was quoting dark crystal until the TV series came out
LOL. I cracked up at the end of the video when he made that noise. I thought it was an actual soundclip of the Chamberlain!!
Hahaha what a time to be alive
Teacher: Class, whats the answer to this question?
Students: HmmmmMMMMMMMMMmmm
The Chamberlain, Chaotic Evil Bard.
I'd argue Neutral Evil.
The Chamberlain is one of my favorite villains. I love how clever and intelligent he is.
Reminds me of Starscream ❤😮
Even skekSil the Chamberlain spread rumours among the Gelfling clans that the urRu were cruel wizards who devoured the souls of Gelfling children. He even proposed capturing and imprisoning them in the Castle in order to stop them influencing the Gelflings.
Yeah right, like the gelflings are gonna believe a race of mystical and gentle being with voice of truth and riddles are evil wizards, after all they read stories about urRu of how kind and powerful they are.
You know, one of the reasons I like the Age of Rebellion so much is because it explores the character of the other Skeksis. skekSil got so much screen time in the movie, and so he was the only Skeksis we knew the real motives of at that point. I hope season 2 really gives the other Skeksis more depth, it would cool to see more on their individual motives.
Trista McCorkle I hope there is a season 2.
I am hoping to see some of the new Skeksis dies and the Gelfling turn one of them into chicken nuggets as revenge for draining them
@craig taylor Oh yeah almost forgot about that.
No season 2😢
@@Hellothere-bm2fo nope, no season two :((((
The most iconic out of all the skeisis and while not my personal favorite he’s up there! I heard that that high pitched voice and speech pattern he does is actually just for show and he can make himself sound garbled and demonic to throw people off.
Any clips where Sil's demonic voice pops up?
J.M. Obyx depending on one interpretation of demonic not in audio unfortunately. Its somewhere in one of the books connected to the age of resistance series.
God, his deep voice haunts my nightmares
@@JMObyx Check the scene in the movie where Jen and Kira run away from him at the ruins.
@@JMObyx I wouldn't call it demonic, just childlike, his whole "please make peace" monologue in the movie being an example.
Skeksil is my favorite of the Skeksis. I know that not a original pick, but I love him so much.
Yeah not original but SkekSil is everyone's favourite skeksis that they love to hate or hate to love.
"I go now, bye bye."
@@MacFuzeller “Shut up SpitHead”
(Sorry lol)
I still love Chamberlain
Loved that “Mmmmmmmmm” 😁 spot on. I really would’ve actually loved to see Skek Sil as the new Emperor. He had more motivation than the rest of his kind to get his lies out into the open regarding the Gelfling. I love the bad guys.
Mostly Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm to say.
Chamberlain still scares me to this day.
Especially that scene in the movie where he's trying to convince Kira and Jen that he's good.
@@rosesweetcharlotte omg yes
That was terrifying when I was younger
I think it was also scary because of the makeshift robes
From roots and weird materials
That looked creepy in my opinion
@@rosesweetcharlotte only reason he failed is he was 50 years out of practice
Hhmmmmmm!
His speech patterns are deliberate most likely.
In front of the Skekses and the Emperor, he speaks coherently unless he's trying to get rid of suspicion around him.
To the Gelflings, Rian especially, he speaks incoherently out of condescension, believing he is infinitely smarter than them.
Also in the film, when Jen and Kira run away from him, his voice drops and becomes eerily harsh as he screeches "PLEASE!" and it's one of the brief moments we see the real Skeksil
apparently the Skekis have their own language and only learned the Gelfling langue secondarily.
Honestly, while everyone says that the Emporer was the most evil Skeksis, I think it's actually skekSil. Yes, the Emporer was willing to commit genocide and held no qualms with killing/imprisoning allies when they were no longer useful (i.e. Seladon was thrown in jail when she tried to reform the alliance). But at the same time, he seemed to genuinely care for the other Skekses and was willing to give up all of his essence (easily his most valuable possession) to save skekMal. But skekSil came up with the original plan to steal the Gelflings' life force, and he constantly manipulated, lied to, betrayed or killed anyone who tried to derail his plans (he blamed skekTek for Rian escaping and cost him his eye, he sent Rian's father after him while intending to kill them both, and he saved skekVar's life just so he could kill him later). So, yeah, skekSil is the evilest.
SkekSil is a perfect psychopath, manipulative and ruthless.
Important thing to remember about Skeksil: He seemed to be one of the few Skeksis who understood sustainability. While the rest of the Skeksis immediately wanted to drain every single Gelfling for Essence, the Chamberlin pushed for draining only as many as they needed, so the Gelfling population would be able to recuperate and recover their losses. Had he gotten his way, the extinction of the Gelflings may never had happened, though they likely would have traded a death to war, for a life as cattle.
Ah Yes...
Starscream~
He's like a much more cunning Starscream.
@@Relugus True but at least Starscream has succeeeded a few times
I know like from the transformers for example,
SkekSo the Emperor- The fallen
SkekVar the General- Megatron
SkekSil the chamberlian- Starscream
SkekTek the scientist- Shockwave
SkekAyuk the gourmand- Trypticon
and,
SkekMal the hunter- Lockdown
I love SkekSil. Like the list of all Skeksis says, “Although a bit strange, SkekSil was actually the only one with the most common sense.” This is true. Look what he did to SkekVar the General. He saved his live to gain his trust, and then after SkekVar was stabbed by Rian, SkekSil took advantage of the opportunity and killed the General.
Skeksil, one of the most underrated and funnest villains of all time.
I did not expect the Mmmmmmmm at the end..
Salty Wizard I did
Expect it:)
Mmmmmmm
Few shows/movies/books make such a good "palace intrigue" character. His schemes are actually clever and make sense
Chamberlain: I am only reason gelfling still alive
Me: you came up with the idea to drain gelfling
Him: must stop talking, yes hmmmmmmmmm?
I always find it odd that he chose a Trial by Stone against skekUng. I would have thought he'd have chosen something more in his comfort zone.
sam rizzardi I guess everyone makes a mistake
in the original version of the movie not shown in cinemas, the skeksis had their own language. in this version, it was skek-ung who demanded the trial by stone. the chamberlain was forced to agree as to not look like a weakling. when they re-dubbed the movie in english, they had to change the dialog slightly as to match it with the movements of their mouths, thus leading to the chamberlain suggesting a trial by stone.
@@dracu9833 Original version??
@@littledragon175 I meant to say "original dub". the skeksis had their own language in the first dub, but it was deemed too strange and exhausting for the audience, so they redubbed the entire movie in english
@@dracu9833 Thanks, I didn't know that. I am researching it right now =D
Simon Pegg did such a great job of voicing my favorite Skeksis
Chamberlain is a sheer joy to watch, probably because he's the one villain given the most to do and a compelling personality to do it with. When I first watched the movie a few months back, his whimpering and gift of gab made SkekSil the most interesting character in my eyes. The novel and Age of Resistance have only helped to reaffirm this status, maybe even deepened it now that I've seen the depths he's been willing to go in his various power plays. It's too bad he was taken off the board in the original movie, because I think he could easily have carried a whole sequel or two with himself at the top. Basically, I think of this guy the same way I think of Loki in the first few MCU movies, a really fun villain who more than earns loyalty from viewers.
We finally get to the creep of all skeksis!
"are Gelflings slaves if they don't know they're slaves" is drawn straight out of The Matrix and it's the anti-capitalist manifesto I live for.
Very true!
In the Dark Crystal's case Anti-fascism also.
Lol. If only Marx wasn’t a racist, ass-boiled, leaching slug who stole from his poor and working class neighbors, drove his wife and daughters to suicide, sexually assaulted his maid (a communist with a servant go figure, she was unpaid too btw) and forced their illegitimate son to come through the back door do to his “class inferiority”
Socialism/Communism are far worst slavery systems. At least in Capitalism you can leave said shitty job. You can't do anything without the Governments permission in a Socialist economy.
@@damiengorgoroth5918 You don't understand the difference between socialism and communism, from the way you have stated that. Communism is about how society is structured with either some kind of diffused decision making power structure (through something like Soviets) but is frequently centrally managed. Communist states may or may not be socialist, the USSR was only partially socialist because the workers didn't really own where they worked, and China is communist in government and capitalist in economist. Socialism is nothing to do with the government itself, so much as it is how the economy and resources are managed. In a purely socialist system (and there aren't any in existence currently no matter how much they may describe themselves as socialist) the workers own the means of production. That means if they work on a farm, the worker of the farm own it and decide how to manage and run it and collectively benefit from its output. If they work in a factory, same. Socialist principles at the governmental level try to ensure that resources are being used in ways that mean that everyone in that society benefits, through things like housing, medical care, education etc. There may be considerable private ownership, or maybe it's limited, but you are meant to be someone who makes your own choices and free associates with others for common good, in organisations based around meaningful and helpful production.
Examples of countries that are influenced by socialist principles include the Nordic countries, where they try and ensure a minimum standard of living for everyone that enables everyone to participate positively, recognising that some people will do more than others, within a capitalist economy with private ownership and mainly private ownership of companies, but with a lot of state companies that work for the public. Venezuela is notionally socialist but it's a terrible example because it's closer to a dictatorship with a veil of socialist principles but in reality is run like a fascist state with no concern for the people in it, hence the poor standard of living there. Their economy isn't managed, it's just capitalism where those in charge are the party or those connected to it with corruption and bribery deciding who gets to be in charge of things. North Korea is almost completely socialist in one sense in that people are given education, medical care and housing freely and money isn't as important there as it is in free market systems, but the people don't own anything, they're just subjects of the Great Leader.
Thanks for the video! SkekSil is a great character... Machiavellian to the max! I think whimpering sycophant sells him short as he is crafty with a keen intelligence that's covered by broken speech and grovelling. Disgusting personality but a beloved character!
I love the Chamberlain he’s my favorite
Great videos! I loved the great writing and action on the series, especially in the carriage ride with the Chamberlain's opinion of the hierarchy of Thra's creatures. He almost makes sense, that Rian should just accept the way things are, making him lose all hope, followed by the most badass puppet car chase scene. Amazing!
Totally agree!
I love these Skeksis biography videos, they’re so well put together and have such interesting information that I would have never learned myself. Keep up the great work, you’re one of my favourite Dark Crystal TH-camrs!
Thank you so much, more to come soon!
I love that whimper ❤
The *Irony* is that the Chamberlain is the 'only' SkekSis that ever achieved 'true' immortality in a way; or Form.
He *still* lives(!) on the Prism
The question is that even canon?! To the actual films and series?!
@@damiamtran9824 read the fireling series; they are sequels
Does anyone one else think that the Chamberlain and his Mystic counterpart were originally the Urskek Darkheart?
I was thinking the same thing since dark heart loved music plus he's so arrogant and responsible for all the evil things the skeksis had done
Awesome!Fabulously told! So far, the Emperor, the Chamberlain, The Scientist and The Ritual-master are the Skeksis I love (or love to hate) most! I can't wait for the Ritual master's and scientist's videos!
SkekUng: CHAMBERLIN! PUT DOWN THAT SCEPTER!
SkekSil: Get back spithead!
It's so easy to be lured in by this one, with his soft voice and smiling face. He has always been my favorite, tho I like all the Skeksis in different ways. His robe colors stood out from the others', as did his face. Most of the others had more of like frowning faces, while his looked happy. I also liked more of his approach to usually no violence unless needed. He was more of a Skeksis who didn't attack unless provoked. Since of course, he wasn't one of the most strongest in strength either, but he was stronger than most Gelfling. Tho I can't help but wonder if he had been banished a lot sooner, what would Sil have been able to become after that? Could he have had the ability to change at all, like SkekGra did? I mean if he had gotten sick of being bullied by so many of the others when they never seemed to take him seriously. But too many people take the ability of speech for granted. Sil sure didn't seem to, even tho he spoke in broken, but simple words. Just some thoughts on why I like him.
I have a theory the Urskeks who was known as DarkHeart was SILSOL because the Chanter Mystic UrSol is a musician, so SILSOL would have been that as well since the urskek occupations live on in the Mystics. DarkHeart was a Musician and SILSOL was the only known Musician out of the 18 Urskeks of Thra. Even SkekSIL had a musical tune in his whimper. He was trouble from the start before he even became a Skeksis.
He spread lies but urSol used his voice to help Thra
Probably the only Skeksis I would be willing sit with.
The Ornamentalist has the best table manners.
@@rosesweetcharlotte Yeah, but, he creeps me out. I mean they all do, but at least Chamberlain avoids fights when he can.
To be honest, I’d be honoured if I could sit with both the Chamberlain and the Scientist. That is a conversation I’d love to get into.
Rian: Just help me save Deet's life. I can't live without her.
SkekSil: Mmmmm to cheat death is the power only one has achieved, but if we work together, I know we can discover the secret.
I can actually see that happening in the second season (If there was one, I'm still mad at Netflix). Only Rian probably wouldn't be so gullible, and backstabbing is sure.
I hope the Chamberlain gets the ability to Animal Soul Speak like in Legends of The Dark Crystal in season 2.
The ritual master is my favorite skeksis
....when we fail ourselves. ..
@@yamiblade we must be punished!!!!
I love when the general is eating the chrysalis and the ritual master says ‘Dooonnnn’t’ 🤣
The heretic is my favorite
The hunter is my favourite
Really wonderful video, I’m glad things are looking up for you!
Thank you so much!
You uploaded this on my birthday! :D
Happy late birthday my friend! Thank you so much for being a part of this community!
Will you possibly do a character analysis of Seladon? Been rewatching the series and frankly, it still baffles me what made her that way as to completely backstab her entire Race. And I also feel she doesn’t deserve a redemption Arc... or at least they wrote it too early.
Seladon struck me as being a narcissist the entire time. She was jealous of her smart sister and was constantly looking for compliments and accolades from her All Mordra mother. She was a bottomless pit that needed constant ego stroking, and that’s why she turned against her family. That was classic narcissistic discard when she believed she lined up a new source of narc fuel from the Skeksis and her soon-to-be new position as ruler.
@@toscadonna thank you!! That being said (which makes excellent sense) i still think she doesn’t deserve a redemption arc or that they did it too soon... frankly in season two, she strikes me as a true Judas who will try to side with the Skeksis again and this time, pay the price.
He's like Starscream if Starscream knew his weaknesses and humbled himself to benefit himself.
I find it a bit incomplete, knowing that it persecutes Thurma and Kenso during practically all their adventure during the events of The Power of Dark Crystal
SkekSil was always the most untrusting and wormy of the Skeksis. Also great job!
"This is what I do. I plant stories into ground, watch them grow into truth. Keep Gelfling looking over shoulder, and they will never see what's right in front of them."
Ooh ooh I've seen some of the politicians here in the U.S. do that! Notgonnasaywhichtho.
CNN (Chamberlain News Network)
It would be wonderful if your Dark Crystal themed music were available for purchase. Your other tracks are awesome too. Great work! MmmmmMmmmmmMmmmmm.... 💜
Thank you so much, i greatly appreciate that! They might be someday, but i don't really sell my tunes. I just enjoy making them. If you do want to support me though, i have a Patreon set up:)
He's such a terrific character, who can manipulate the minds with lies, and for his whimpers. This is why I really LUV about him, and designed a daughter 4 him 🖤❤💚😍
Where does "Chief Secretary of State" come from on Dark Crystal sources?
And I think the way the fan wiki says urSol can "shake the earth and freeze waterfalls" could be taken wrongly. World of The Dark Crystal actually says he "made all the different stones of the valley tremble" and could "make waterfalls still". Some could take "freeze" as in making it turn 32°F :D Anyways, where does the "natural and unnatural" voice come from?
Him killing his own kind does seem to be unique amongst the Skeksis!
Oh, and have you read Power of the Dark Crystal? Cause his dark adventures didn't end with the film! :D
Oh yes they did! Haha, i'm really not a fan of everyone coming back, so i hope they don't use that story line in the future. Natural because one is good, unnatural because one is bad. And the SoS is in the opening line of his wiki page:)
@@DreamfastwithMe fan wikis, especially for Dark Crystal, have lots of head Canon or errors in them, unfortunately... Though I do admit over the year they have gotten better. Still though, they make things up too much for my taste :)
"Where does "Chief Secretary of State" come from on Dark Crystal sources?
"
The novelisation.
The chamberlain’s most compelling argument has always been “mmmHMMMMMMMMM”
Most compelling would definitely have more M's haha
SkekSil in three words:
Frriend pleeeease mmmmmmmmmm
One of my ultimate favorite Skeksis. His "Hmmmmm" is Classic with a capital C. But I can't help but wonder, how did he know about Rian's dad getting gobbled by gobbles? He wasn't there to witness it. Or was he? Was he lurking in the shadow-cloaked trees? Probably...
Though he's whimpering, legend says that hes still pissed at SkekSo
I'm writing my own dark crystal au for the amino ^-^ I'm excited for the first episode to come out.
How are you by the way? I hope your doing alright. Just know, you don't have to upload for us 24/7. We can wait for uploads! ^-^ take a break any time. Loved the video
so you mean a fanfic
Thank you so much, i appreciate that! Thankfully things are back on track now, so much more to come soon!
@@DreamfastwithMe I'm hoping for an announcement at the great con-junction this year!!!! ^-^
What is there to say about the Chamberlain that hasn’t already been said? He’s sneaky, cunning and incredibly smart. 3:40 to 3:59 I love how UrSol and SkekSil both use their voices to make things happen, in one way or another.
Another thing is that while many may think UrSol being a chanter is not such a useful trait, music is actually quite powerful. As said in this video, UrSol could freeze waterfalls and make all of Thra tremble with one note. I can only imagine how many wine glasses he could break if he wanted to.
I always thought of Skeksil as the Starscream to Skekso's Megatron.
SkekSil is the Starscream of the Dark Crystal if Scream was more in control of his emotions.
He is amazing smart and very unique that's why he is the favorite among fans
Everyone remembers the Chamberlain. I have only recently refound Dark Crystal. I need to see age of resistance and I have a lot to catch up on. These vids are a good start.
Hahahaha. Your Mhhhhhhhhh at the end is really cute.
Finally! Im soooo excited!!!!
Silver snaked tongue. Sooo freaking true.
I belive that the main antagonist of the dark crystal universe is not SkekSo the Emperor, not SkekUng the Garthim master, but SkekSil the Chamberlain. Think about it. He was the one who made the idea to drain gelfling essence. He was the one who followed Jen and Kira so he could get back into power. He was the main Skeksis in the comic series the power of the dark crystal, who followed the main characters to get his hands on the crystal shard as he explained quote "mmmmmmmmm. Shard. Skeksis want shard GONE...Gelfling want KEEP...Fire-brat want shard for SELF...Shard...IMPORTANT. mmmmmmmm. Shard is POWER!" Chamberlain was the master of deception. He was willing to have SkekTek lose his eye and take the blame of losing the essence just to save himself. He was the one who sent SkekMal to find Ryan. He was the one who poisoned SkekVar the general so he could gain his trust, only to betray it.
i like you put the whimpers in the final
Can you pls make one for skektek the scientist hes my fav skeksis
Possibly the most evil character in Dark Crystal. Survives.
The first full-bodied puppets created by Jim Henson were Splurge and Delbert the La Choy Dragon. Henson did the voice for Delbert, but the actual puppeteering was done by Frank Oz. He hated every moment working blind inside those heavy suits. (And Henson relished that!) (In fact, there's a story that Oz declined the role of Big Bird because of that!) Then he did the full-bodied monster Muppet Thig for a 1970 hour-long Christmas special called _The Great Santa Claus Switch_ . That left poor Oz with fallen arches!
So I'm flabbergasted that Henson was able to convince Oz to take of SkekSil! Those were the heaviest costumes/puppets yet! 30 to 45 pounds!
In the film, it was his "Please? Please. Please? PLEASE." that I found the most unnerving.
I've always loved SkekSil because he was very cunning, and the most logical, and the fact that he makes fun of SkekTek, I mean, you gotta love him. His whimper is also one of the reasons I love him so much. Just peace and quiet then all of a sudden, "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM". Hilarious. I also do the whimper to torture my friend. It's funny.
Skekayuk the gormond
When are you going to do a bio on the Gelfling twins Naia and Gurjin???
Have to give it some time. More Skeksis bios first, then hopefully the clan videos. So in the near future:)
Dreamfast with Me sounds good I just read the books and the skeksis could not drain Gurjin because they didn’t have his twin sister Niai
4:20 he looks happy. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im my opinion he is smart asf imagine being able to weasel ur way out of most issues and being blood thristy enough to kill skekvar also he seems to be the only one not truly terrified of death and rather wants to be emperor and remember how he would rather not kill all only a small few he was the only skeksis to thung about what might happen if they drain all the gelfing
The inadvertently hero. Nice. Redeemed himself.
Does anyone know what a Chamberlain actually did historically?
Basically sorted the king's wardrobe and treasury.
@@samrizzardi2213 Sounds like SkekEkt and SkekShod
Bersa Brie exactly he was the slipper retriever!
This reply comes horribly late-I know, but I could not resist! ^^;
In case it helps, the actual historical position as a Chamberlain (at least in the British court) comprises the duties of a Chief Secretary of estate.
They sort out paperwork, speeches and often act as delegates of royalty, and have some of the duties a Steward would. By the times of Shakespeare, they would also determine which theater plays, musical shows and concerts were fit to be presented in front of audiences and had the power to ban or approve them.
(In skekSil's case, though, I think it's the first section which is most relevant, he's basically the Emperor's official Secretary.)
Literally a creepy version of starscream!!
@Dreamfast With Me Hey! Sorry to bother, but could you please link me to your SoundCloud? I love the music in your videos!
Sure, thank you so much! Here it is: soundcloud.com/gallowsound ...its also linked on my channel banner:) The tracks you would be interested in have the Dark Crystal titles, the rest is my other music.
As a child, watching the original Dark Crystal, Chamberlain was the Skesis I hated & loved the most. I hated his duplicitousness, but always laughed at how he always moaned and whined with his characteristic "Hmmmmmmm?? Mmmmmmm . . . ." My mom still laughs at him to this day cuz of that!! When I was a child, I thought he was a "she." And in that seen in the beginning where they ripped off his clothes --- I thought they were ripping off of his his skin because of the way he was hollering as if it hurt him and because after his "clothes" were gone, he was all skinny as if they had ripped off all of his meat/flesh. I didn't realize at the time that that was the true form of his body underneath cuz birds aren't anything but compositions of small, frail bones underneath all of their feathers --- the same way cats look pitiful and skinny (like sphinx cats) without their fur. That scene traumatized the hell out of me as a child, thinking Chamberlain was being skinned alive. Even though I know better now, it still unsettles me to watch that scene.
He also gave the idea of skektek creating an army which lead to the garthim
“Coronation Chamberlain? This is bad comedy”
hummmm a great disturbance.... skeKlove
MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm
SkekSil is not dead. He is still reunited with UrSol. The Sequel doesn’t count for me.
Interesting that you did not include his adventures in power of the dark crystal and ultimate demise and fate afterwards
I have never seen the movie, I think not even my parents... but we loved the Netflix series, especially that "Mmmmmm ..."
The Chamberlain is such an important Skeksis that he has his own theme music!
SilSol the Representative
good channel name, subscribed.
I wonder if his mystic counterpart also does the “mmmmmmhhhhhhhiiiiiimmmmmmmm”
Can you do more gelfling bios
One the way! I have lots of content to get through. You have to give me some time, being the only DC explained channel:)
Do skekung the Garthim master next
31k people: Mmmmmm interesting...
Skeksil is basically Littlefinger from GOT
Aw yes! They certainly play the game well...crafting and weaving chaos within their respective realm. 😌
Something I find funny is that UrSol is the chanter, so this means SkekSil’s original job was Musican, and I’m sad I’ve yet to see fan art of him playing a saxophone.
Ugh...the part when they're de~robing Chamberlain terrified me as a child. Actually, still kinda does now that I think of it 😝😒
I always felt that if there were more seasons to the series, SkekUng would come in and put SkekSil in his place. Like he saw through his lies and deception and it would make a lot of sense as to why SkekSil doesn’t have a fight to him in the movie. How he so easily submits when his plans go wrong. We will never know. Thanks for nothing, Netflix.
his biggest flaws were underestimating others and overestimating himself
SkwkUng: I hate your whimper.
