"The entire plot of the Dark Crystal"
-fixed the title for you.
Came here to figure out how the heck Jen and Kira were going to repopulate their species and no answers 😔
“MmmmMMMMMMMMmmmm!!!! >:•)”-Lord Chamberlain
Nick Mattio I love him
Simon Pegg did an incredible job recreating the original voice
SeshGremlin94 astonishing. I assume it was just an impression that he honed for the part. He got it spot on tho!
The voice of reason
why do they all say that?
This wasn't meant to be a kid movie. The new show is quite good as well.
Travis Hammer welp, sorry, a lot of kids watched. It turned into it. Even I did.
Of course it wasn't. And the truth is that kids are going to be scared of something as they grow older which soccer moms don't understand. That's life. We are all afraid of something, but in time we get over it.
7:23 Kira is stabbed by the Ritual Master, not the Emperor
Yes I noticed that too. I've seen the original millions of times and it's been in my top five since I was little. I'm downloading the Netflix series now as I type.
tell me what you think of the netflix serie bb
@@yotty97 It's WEIRD, but I think it's really good. If you think the Dark Crystal was dark, they took that and ran about fifty plus miles with that ball. First episode in and I was sitting in front of my computer with my jaw hanging to the floor.
@@yotty97 I thought it was brilliant, and I'm not sure I can wait for the second season. It's beautiful and the characters are incredible, the story is perfect...I'm just completely obsessed at this point.
I've seen this movie so many damn times and never noticed that. Just got nerd checked. Thanks!
Also when urskek tried purging their evil, their good halves proved to be gentle and kind, but also passive and indecisive. The Skeksis were evil but also capable of decisive action. The deeper message I think is that if you want to achieve anything, you have to accept that this may require hard decisions.
The way I see it. The Skeksis were hedonistic and passionate. And were more easily corruptible until they went full blown evil.
Same message as in Star Trek, when Kirk was split into two beings.
Thanos did everything right
it's a good representation of excess vs deficiency. either way is bad, but what is truly good, is this thing called the golden mean, the perfect of balance of both.
The reason why the Urkskek failed was arrogance. Their achievements weren't really a point of pride in terms of the story. Yes, sometimes being decisive or even impulsive can have its benefits (especially when the opposition is passive) but ultimately achieving great power leads to delusion and arrogance, especially without love or compassion driving those decisions. They repeatedly made "hard" decisions that were grand and ambitious, but were ultimately selfish or out of lust for power, and that's what led to their corruption and destruction.
Kira is a good counter-example: she made the hard choice to sacrifice herself to get the crystal to Jen. It illustrates what makes her actions heroic in contrast, since it was decision a made for the sake of Jen and the hope of a better future but not for herself because she knew she would likely die. Her actions were not for a personal need or desire, and therein lies the difference. And this is why the Gelflings were needed in the story: the Urksek even whole lacked traits to bring about positive change, even if they had the knowledge or the wisdom to see where they failed, because their most negative traits would sabotage them. Whereas Gelflings do possess the ability to bring positive change because they have innocence, are willing to answer the call to action, and lacked the arrogant and destructive tendencies of the fallen Urkskek. They are similar to how hobbits are represented in the Lord of the Rings.
Hard watching the Netflix series when you know eventually all the gelflings are going to die
True but I thought the Age of Resistance was a alternate universe hence Augrah saying she sees “many different paths some good most bad” so could there be a possibility Age of Resistance is a totally different path/reality? Could be. I also am with you on the idea Age of Resistance is just the backstory to the Movie which will eventually lead to the genocide of the gelfling...we just gotta see what happens in season 2 and how the writers take hold of it.
@@user-sj8fu8cw9g 🤔 never thought about like that. But the skekcies now have the crab like monsters that are in the movie. So I know the gelflings time is limited. Can't wait for season 2. The show is so dope.
Puerto Rock Yeah the Garthim themselves could be a sign to the end of gelfling but maybe deet could use her power in some way idk though there’s so many theories that could be. but me neither I hope Netflix doesn’t drop this one like they drop every good show after one season.
I have a theory that some may be underground. The series lightly retcons or alters parts of the lore (which isn’t a bad thing tbh) so I think they might survive.
It’s still dark so maybe not
IKR?!?
I found the Netflix series amazing and wondrous.
And still our season 2 hot canceled like the sequel movie they Made some books and Comics through

As it turns out, the new series is the single greatest high fantasy film -- which happens to be 10 hours long! -- in cinema history. From the artistry of its craftsmanship to the conception of its setting and themes, to the virtuoso performances by a huge ensemble, TDC:AOR is an epic work of genius rivaled only by the likes of the original Star Wars Trilogy or The Lord of the Rings.
I agree. The series is a masterpiece! The only "flaw" I found was the (possible?) plot hole with the General.. Unless I missed something....
Oh for sure-I totally agree. It gives me goosebumps when I watch the new series, as I think about the incredible amount of time, work, and love put into this production. Blows my mind. And another good point is that it is not ruined with the insertion of political agendas, of which I was greatly concerned about going in. Way to go Jim Henson Company!!!!! They are not contanimated or infiltrated by [[[those]]] we dare not mention here. BRAVO!
@@evanskan6326 The General is a different character from the "Garthim Master" of the original. SkekVar is the name of the General in AoR who is killed late in the series. SkekUng is the Garthim Master, later Emperor, from the original 1982 film. Hope that helps!
@@noahhenson1669 Thanks for the info! I didn't remember that!
Anything Jim Henson is a blessing to this world.
Ah, that sence of the poddling getting its life sucked out hunts me to this day
Me too!
I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more essence draining in the new Netflix series.
The new show is pretty damn dark.
Kinda makes you wonder why they didn't keep breeding pins to keep a steady supply of slaves
Stay away from the first episode of the new series then.
I loved the Titanic flute play. Love you back 😘
It’s not a kids film. Though I did watch it a lot as a kid. It’s pretty dark to be a kids movie
The black cauldron?
First time?
This movie is based on real events the gelfings are the pygmies.
thats why it stayed in our memory.. its definitly a kids movie.. just notfor these weak single mom raised kids of the 2000's
Jim Henson managed to combine high fantasy with sensible and down-to-Earth teachings. That's part of the charm of his inventions. You never knew precisely what would happen in a story he told because he would make the consequences of actions almost ruthlessly realistic... up to a point. But the point which Jim Henson would stop at was a lot further into the darkness than most people were willing to go when writing a story which children would experience.
But Jim's seeming madness had method to it. Remember "Mr. Hooper Died" from Sesame Street? Jim Henson knew that children have to deal with death, just like everyone else. Pets die. Sometimes other family members die, and sometimes friends die.
Mr. Hooper was the "grandfather" character in Sesame Street. When Will Lee who acted him died unexpectedly, they could have told the children who watched the show that Mr. Hooper had retired and moved away. Instead, they took the bull by the horns and told the children that Mr. Hooper had died, and that being sad and grieving over someone who has died is normal and appropriate.
At the core of Jim Henson's stories were two principles.:
1. Honesty. Evil exists. Death exists. Learn to deal with them.
2. Morals. Oppose evil to the best of your ability. Don't let sadness and death get you down. Choose good over evil. Evil may win the day's battle, but the war is not done.
Sesame Street died with Jim Henson. There's still a show with that name, but the truth and integrity which had characterised it previously, died with Jim Henson because his influence was gone. Now, the show is just another children's show, pandering to adults and patronising children.
I think Jim Henson would be very annoyed if he could see what it's become.
I hope the Netflix show does justice to the movie. I don't hold out a lot of hope, but perhaps someone with the same honesty and integrity as Jim Henson has control of it. One lives in hope.
and in the era of resistance, good triumphs over evil, the series achieved much more than the movie
This whole story is about planet Rizq and the pygmies...
OMG, FINALLY THANK YOU! SOMEONE gets me! Yes, definitely, it DEFINITELY died once Jim did, I thought I was the only one who thought the older ones were way better, the older Jim Henson ones had so much more quality and charm you really don’t see in the new ones, the characters and segments were better, (Big Bird, Oscar, Grover, Ernie, Bert, Praire Dawn Cookie Monster, Zoe, Rosita and Elmo (Maria, Gordon, Miles, Mr. Hooper, Gabby, etc. were the classic characters EVERYONE loved, classic singers and actors that actually HAD talent, etc. Years later after watching it on VHS as a kid, about last year, I decided to watch it again for nostalgia just for a few minutes and WOW, (EVERYTHING you said was 100%, it’s terrible what it became long since then… It REALLY DID change for the worst and is NOTHING like how it once was, I was honestly SHOCKED at what I was seeing because I was so used to the older better Henson era ones on VHS.. It’s honestly REALLY sad what it’s turned into: The classic characters (like Big Bird, Elmo, Oscar, etc. have newer voices and everything where it barely even sounds like them and they BARELY even appear anymore just for the sake of new characters people barely will remember down the road unlike them,) Gordon, Miles, Maria, and Gabby are basically just GONE with no explanation, (does anyone even know whatever happened to them anyways? They just disappeared…) there’s phones and technology added to it now, stupid modern day celebrities on it that have 0 talent and only really appear for money, just UGH. It really isn’t the same anymore like it once was, it’s like SpongeBob, they basically ran everything about the show and it’s characters into the ground years after the entire show already went dead for the sake of money when it should of ended YEARS ago, once Jim died, both that and the Muppets ended for me, they should of ended it and the Muppets, PERIOD.
I loved Dark Crystal, still one of my favorite fantasy films. Looking forward to the new series prequel
Saw the 1st episode this morning ❤SO GOOD HOLY CRAP🥰🥰❤🙌🏽🙌🏽about to binge watch the hell outta this series!
@@CheetoFireCat But they changed the whole story! And now there's no more mystics?!? I'm sorry but I turned it off about 20 minutes in I was so freaking pissed. I'm going to try and watch it again tomorrow night but the mystics were my favorite characters and now the story makes no sense. Oye vey 🤦♂️
@@mikelomez9313 i only have seen the 1st episode been busy lol..i was wondering if they were in the series...they are in the The Dark Crystal comics...
@@mikelomez9313 if they aren't um that really messes up the original movie 🤦♀️😖
@@CheetoFireCat Like I said I've only seen about 20 minutes of the first episode so I'll definitely be giving it another chance tomorrow night but the fact that they changed the story so it appears there's no more urskeks or mystics has me beside myself. Plus it just doesn't seem to have that same dark eerie feeling as the original
The Mystics are no better than the Skeksis, they knew that their evil selves were reeking havoc on the world and did nothing for a thousand years. The Skekis basically did the Mystics' dirty work keeping them immortal for all these years
Not to mention they made up some bogus prophecy that got all the Gelflings killed.
The Mystics could’ve just done what the Archer did at the final episode of the Netflix Series. But hey, plot harbour has to exist
Well that shows the problem with being "ALL GOOD", with no balance. When you are TOO pacifist you don't stand up for yourself, you don't defend others because VIOLENCE IS WRONG and being kind and loving and drawing sand pictures and being vegan and one with nature is all that matters.
The Skeksis were all violent and selfish without balance, the Mystics were all peace and seflesness without balance. Bringing the crystal back together made everything right. We need some "evil" in us sometimes to balance the good. Sometimes violence is good, sometimes peace is bad.
They did all they could. Their goal was to ensure the crystal gets reunited, without that all life would eventually perish. When the gelflings failed to unite to oppose the skeksis, the only hope remaining was to prepare the last gelfling survivor (as far as they knew) for the task at hand.
@@DanielEduardo I'm not sure that is right. The way of the mystics is not wrong or incorrect in any way. You have missed the point like so many others on here- the goal was to reunite the shard with the crystal so as to heal the world. Killing themselves/the skeksis would have not accomplished this goal.
@7:41 they are not becoming something 'new', they are returning to what they once were...
It is still new to the first-time viewer, however.
4:03 Dance your cares away;
worries for another day ;
let the music play...
down on Fraggle Rock!!
👏👏
When Single Shines the Triple Sun,
What Was Sundered and Undone,
Shall be Whole. The Two Made One,
By Gelfling Hand, or else by None.
Jeez! Would be nice to have a reviewer who actually liked the movie instead of treating it with so much distain. Yeah, we get it, it's a weird movie but, no less cool, interesting and imaginative.
Just watched it. I watched 5 minutes of it the first time because I wasn’t into the puppets at first. So I decided to watch the Tv show yesterday to see how it was since I wasn’t into the movie, and I was amazed. The story was amazing and sometimes I even forgot that they were puppets. I watched it in 1 sitting Thanks to the tv show I was more intrigued into the movie and watched the whole thing and I enjoyed every singe second of it. I think the show is good to get people unfamiliar to the movie to like this. And all of this is coming from a 15 year old
He doesn't even realize that SkekUng and The General are two completely different characters.
Was Obsessed with this movie at 11 years old. Still holds up minus a few plot holes & Kira pretty much saves Jen's ass multiple times. But if you've never seen it..please it's worth it.
I feel it my duty to tell everyone about the other lesser known Jim Henson company made absolutely awesome sci fi series called Farscape. Besides the amazing makeup and costumes they used for the alien character actors they of course made use of the Henson type puppets for two if the characters that look more real than most cgi. It ran for 4 seasons before getting canceled ending on a cliffhanger but a few years later they made a miniseries that finished the story. So if you like space opera with action movies and adventure, very likeable characters, evil yet complex villains, comedy and numerous pop culture references and a bit if romance than please watch what I consider my all time favorite show and this coming from someone who has watched many tv shows.
Farscape ruled.
I’m a huge fan of Farscape!! Always makes me happy to see other people enjoying it
Farscape is awesome.
@@auggieb2681 as am I! I'm proud to say i introduced it to over a dozen people over the years, some of whom are not really sci fi fans. Now if we could only get the revival I've be ed n hearing about for years but for some reason hasn't happened, I mean Ben Browder really needs the work! He hasn't really done much since SG1.
you're in good company here. Interesting note- the Halosians were built around the old frames they used for the Skesis puppets.
There is one main thing you got wrong; 9:42 The Skesis are the ones that split the crystal, this happened after the 2nd Conjunction (also known as the great Division), the urSkeks caused their division due to the corruption of one of them. The Skesis took control of the Crystal and soon after used a weapon to split the shard away.
Grew up watching this movie, have just finished the Netflix series... great television viewing!!! By far best thing i’ve seen on tv this year
The series contradicts the movie: the Skeksis and the Mystics were a joined creature _before_ the Dark Crystal cracks; it was a creature that embodied Ying-yang, which is why their separation caused such catastrophe. The Skeksis didn't exist before then, so the very first episode of the series is completely _wrong_
I recall an old art book of The Dark Crystal mentioning that Augra was actually just born of the earth....I regret not buying that art book.
apology89 they’re supposed to be re-releasing that original art book this year, around Christmastime. You may want to check Amazon for a release date.
nps1016 wooooo
apology89 actually it isn’t in December it’s in October.
I own the original "The World of the Dark Crystal" Book from that Time.
My Treasure!!!!!!
Sammy68305 I’m jealous !!
OMG.. The Dark Crystal was my FAVORITE when I was a kid.
Thank goodness for 'ending explained' videos to movies that already made sense. 6 year-old me got this
Yeah, I really don't see the use in trying to explain it. The movie made everything pretty clear.
I was hoping to see if other gelfling come back cuz otherwise there is gonna be a lot of incesty Adam and Eve shit with Kira and Jen
@@Ova-bv4os-- The Jim Henson Company had plans to answer this back in 2005 with a sequel called _The Power of the Dark Crystal._ While the movie ultimately wasn't made, they did choose to publish it in comic book/graphic novel form:
www.comixology.com/Jim-Hensons-The-Power-of-the-Dark-Crystal/comics-series/86651
They have since also published a second sequel series called _Beneath the Dark Crystal,_ along with several books exploring the creation myths of Thra, and they will be publishing _Age of Resistance,_ as well.
My childhood
Mother may I Have some Bleach? Omg!!! Same!!!
Yes, but will there be Fizzgigs?
There definitely are
Yes, 2 at least (not watched all yet- on Netflix).
Fizzgig was my cat's nick name when he got angry with me, but as he was a Gremlin (Gizmo) he had already a dark side. Do like them rolling, there's a tribbles (Star Trek) look about them when they do that.
Demonically possessed Pomeranians with 3times the teeth I wanna fight 10 of em at once lol
Ohhhh yes, always wanted one as a pet when I was younger , I'm 54 now and still do..
I loved watching the Dark Crystal when I was a kid, gave me nightmares every time. Never really understood the story line.
I honestly don't think the story is meant to be that deep or anything. It's more of a showcase for the puppets.
How could you not understand a story so obvious as this one good V evil
People must be more dense than 35 years ago. I was in fourth grade when it first came out, and I had no trouble getting it.
Henson HAD to be on something good. I had no clue how imaginative this world was.
marijuana friend.. marijuana...
I'm so excited this new show is gonna be amazing
Just watched Age of resistance, it's amazing. :3
Jen's flute playing to make the correct crystal shard glow was probably some Mystic magic that he learned.
YAY, can't WAIT for your recaps, as you well know how much I love them!!!!! BTW, GREAT job with this recap, and yeah, sooooooooooooo NOT a kids movie when you rewatch it as an adult, but I have to say, I loved it as a kid and I love it now, differently, (as I have a vastly different appreciation for it now), as an adult!!! Bisous, Bisous xx
Thank you for posting this video. I'm A big fan of the movie and also I love the series.
Great synopsis and explanation! I hope the series does well on Netflix.
Gabriel Gonzales it’s not a great explanation. This guy clearly didn’t do his research. A lot of missteps in the details
This unearthed some disturbing ,deep childhood memory that I can barely remember
I was never scared of it as a kid. Most stories I liked had some death. As Potter mimicked Dickens, Roald Dahl & many Disney movies. Would they be great stories without the deaths? It's just you think of Muppets as harmless maybe because of Sesame Street, only characters like Gonzo did death defying stunts. It's why kids are bought pets like fish or hamsters it teaches them, to ask there parents the big questions. Actually this movie, when I watched, normally made me ask my Mom if I could have another of whatever was my favourite treat that week. Fizzgig forever!!!
OMFG the editing on this has me crying! LMAO well done....
Thanks so much, this type of helpful overview of the original movie and it's plot points was exactly what I was looking for!
Just watched the show and I'm hooked! Had no idea there was a movie made eons ago, but I'm definitely about to watch it bc this is great! Thank you
Just finished making Deet in timelapse, for anyone interested in seeing the work. Hope you like it!
I think that Deet was kiras mom and Rian was her father
Brea and kylan are Jens parents
@@heatherarndt5280 Apparently some other character is her mother
I thought her name was "Okra" as a kid...
It's Oprah.
@@colinderue8095 precisely 😂
🤣
She goes great with some butter beans and spring onion.
OMG!! I remember this from my childhood.
Good recommendation TH-cam!!👍👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I understand so much more and love this movie so much more now!
ARGHHH ! YOU GOT ME ! @4:45-4:51 ... When the female news reporter appeared i reached for the mouse to fast forward ahead but half-way through reaching i saw the CGI of the shard hit the microphone ! WELL DONE. A lot of great soundbites: "WHAT IF I WANT WINGS ?" hilarious. A WELL WRITTEN, SMART ANALYSIS OF AN 80s CLASSIC. I remember this movie well and saw it on an HBO home box with a dial on it; i wasn't supposed to see it because it was "too adult" but we kids we, we ... we find a way ! Thanks for sharing. THUMBS UP !
Can you imagine that? Just casually walking and suddenly burst into flames and die like that? I would be pissed lol some kids film huh 😂
I would assume that they sort of are in constant worry about that
Awesome review brother cant wait to see your video on this topic ;)
Yeah 🔥 Thank you for your video ! 🙏 I love this movie and serie ! 😍
WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?
NO
I was 7 when i watched this.
_Celeste Gacha Edits_ Beat ya! I was four when I watched this
2:17
It's been a long time since I've watched this movie. Upon watching the cliff notes version here I now realize just how faithful the show has been to the lore of the original source material.
I love how the series tied perfectly into the film, down to the last episode! I won't lie, there were times I scratched my head, but then the next episode explaining everything. I implore everyone to watch the film first! I'm also hoping they make a series about rebuilding thrah.
I'm so glad that will be explored further than the comics and movie,it's such an interesting meta
Not even joking, the score when Kira is brought back to life makes me cry every time. It's hautingly beautiful
Fantastic Breakdown. I hope my kids get as good at this as you are!
Kira wasn't stabbed by the Emperor, just saying.
Scott Guise it was Ritual Master aint it
@@leem.5917 yep
ManiArc Arcson yes the Skeksis with the antenna like thing on his head, the one that put the beetle in the cage on the Scientist
When you realize all the gelfings in the series die and their entire species is genocided
But then you read the comics and learn the movie is not the end and the gelfings get revived.
Probably in the end of the series it will be a 1 hour episode remake of the movie. Different characters that arn’t Jen And Them, more like Deet and A few others.
Just finished watching the new Netflix show. Absolutely brilliant!!
Nice. Thank you!
2:45~ Conjunction~
~Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
Hooking up words and phrases and clauses.
~Conjunction Junction, how's that function?
I got three favorite cars
That get most of my job done.
~Conjunction Junction, what's their function?
I got "and", "but", and "or",
They'll get you pretty far.
😆.... I am so sorry, I couldn’t resist 🤗
'you must save our world gelfling', but the series clarifies they come from another world
3:20 I legit thought Jen was actually playing that song🤦 but no it’s ur awesome editing😂👍
The part of the flute 🤣 loved it
It's my favourite childhood movie, even it it terrified at me. In fact I became an artist due to the movie. I've shared a few covers and tributes inspired by it (and now the series) I think I know by heart all the dialogues.
I loved this movie so much as a kid. I must be one the few that was more fascinated than scared of this story and it's dark world.
I was very sensitive to this ending and I loved this the best of my life! Imagine that this is from another world in another solar system and this is what life looks like and we just picked up that signal! :)
This Movie was my favorite movie growing up! I watched this on VHS so much the tape was stretched out so much that it started to fade on certain parts!
The movie was amazing! Really good work of art, and great storytelling with the theme of fantasy. I loved watching The Dark Crystal when I was a kid back in 2007, and It's recently become a big inspiration for my more serious artworks as of 2019!
Then u will be happy to know this movie is based on reality.
It's amazing how good the puppets were made then and how they kept true to the original looks and not made big changes and spoiled the series
Funny video good job!
Just finished the prequel, damn fine job...I've never seen a prequel or sequel done better!
I can’t believe after watching the whole season then remembering in the 80's movie that there was a Gelfling Genocide and that means all of them are gonna die all of the clans, all of the Maudra's and literally any existents of Gelfling, I’m actually gonna cry if they show this in Season 2!!!!!
You said end but youre explaining the whole movie step by step lol. Im happier bout that though. Great job!!!
This is so cool!
I have got to see this show!
Kira was stabbed by the Ritual Master, not the Emperor. Also, the "General" is the Garthim Master.
Just finished watching the TV series but never saw the movie so thanks for the back story! Carnival Row is also awesome!
I remember being obsessed with this movie as a child, but definitely had nightmares about the Skeksis... specifically the Chamberlin... as an adult though, I look back and consider this movie one of the most legendary of it's time. Jim Henson was an amazing creator, and I hope that when I watch the Netflix prequel that it'll live up to the name Henson built for his legacy.
The emperor dying was the scariest part of the movie when I saw it as a kid... glad I did tho!!! And it may not have been meant for kids, but a lot of us were kids when we saw it anyway. Still a great movie, and AoR was AWESOME! I need a season two!
I loved the Uuruks / Mystics. Their gentle complentative way. No wonder I was so drawn to the Buddhistic Monastry nearby my home village! I had forgotten about this movie, but I spend so much time there with these Tibetian Exile Monks. Another puzzle part clicks to show me more of what made me who I am. Thanks for your Video! 🖤
I watch Dark crystal often, it is one of the great movies from my childhood like Star Trek, I never stopped watching. I'm stoocked about the series but digesting it slowly
LOL " my heart will go on " on the flute had me dead
If I had watched this when I was a kid, I’d definitely have nightmares... recently saw it at age 23 and it was almost too much... but I still loved the movie and after watching the tv series on Netflix I’m a fan now!! Rewatched the movie and I appreciated it more!!
Favorite "kids" movie?
Imagine, at 58... that I am still a kid. Epic!
Movie: Join the Skeksis and Mystics as ONE, to be whole once again!
Me: Just kill both Skeksis/Mystics, put the crystal together and be done! They're aliens who were stupid, why should they be returned into whole?
No One:
They are advanced beings who just made a mistake(we all do them), they don't deserve to die.
“Think of the children!”..aye haha 🤣 been re-watching this great movie allot lately 👍🏻
I remember when I first saw this movie and man this movie change my life. As I got older I did more research and man I love the mythology in the Dark Crystal and man it's so much that I'm going to buy the books.
Great vid man. One point: twernt da emperor did the stabbin
They'll probably do with The Dark Crystal what was done in Star Wars. IE: It will be revealed that there were actually a lot of Gelfling survivors, just as we also found out there were actually quite a few Jedi still alive after Order 66.
4:50 I’m dead 😂😂😂 good edit lmfao
Garthim are just Mirelurks but magic, change my mind
Mirelurks are just Garthim but not magic*
I remember my first time watching this was when I rented it from a block buster as a kid
Beautifull watching age of resistance now
The two races split BEFORE the Crystal was cracked.
Wow man, you need to do your research. The General, skekVar never became emperor.
It was skekUng, the Garthim master that became emperor. That’s why he could control the garthim. He didn’t make an appearance in the series yet.
This was a half-hearted attempt, smh
This has been my favorite movie since birth!!
the Netflix show's pretty good 👌👌👌
Thanks man
In the Age of Resistance, right in the first episode, though, you have Skeksis but the crystal is already whole and there was no shard yet. How does this square with the timeline you gave? ..or else, is this addressed in the show and I just need to finish up to get my answer?
