The Dark Crystal	comment	All spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.A 1982 Dark Fantasy film produced by Jim Henson (of The Muppets fame) and co-directed by Henson and Frank Oz with creature design by fantasy artist Brian Froud. It's inarguably Henson's most ambitious project, created entirely with animatronic puppets and miniature sets, and with a heavy emphasis on Worldbuilding.One thousand years ago, on the planet Thra, the Crystal was whole. When it cracked on the day of the Great Conjunction of the planet's three suns, two new races appeared: the Always Chaotic Evil and aggressive Skeksis and the Always Lawful Good but all too passive urRu (aka Mystics). A few centuries later, the Skeksis discovered a prophecy that the elf-like Gelflings would heal the Dark Crystal, thus undoing their reign, so they sent their Garthim soldiers to hunt them down and kill them all. All except for the protagonists Jen and Kira, the last of their kind.In 2013, an "original cut" of the film was leaked on YouTube, featuring extended/deleted scenes, less expository dialogue and the alien language that the Skeksis were originally going to speak until test audiences responded unfavorably to it. Though it was taken down, it still can be found on Dailymotion and Vimeo.A Netflix-produced prequel series detailing the start of the war between the Skeksis and the Gelflings and the ensuing decay of Thra, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, was released in August 2019.For the franchise as a whole, see here.

Storywise, it involves mass genocide, gruesome deaths, Fate Worse than Death and Everything Is Trying to Kill You thrown into the mix. This is the only Henson work that is not a comedy of any form.

The Dark Crystal / int_2a015a74	type	Beauty Equals Goodness
The Dark Crystal / int_2a015a74	comment	Beauty Equals Goodness: Played with. The protagonists, the Gelflings, are obviously intended to be attractive. The pure urRu are made to look noble and sagacious, and when they die, they fade into sparkles. The Skeksis, on the other hand, are clearly intended to look twisted, deformed and vulture-like, which is made even worse by their advanced age and the fact that the Emperor's body crumbles to pieces within seconds after his death. Aughra, however, is quite hideous and warty, yet proves to be a helpful character. A bit of background checking shows that in the grand scheme of things, she's actually supposed to be neutral, and not one to take sides. It gets really confusing with the Podlings, who are supposed to be a good, Closer to Earth race, yet somehow they wound up looking Ugly Cute at the same time. Brian Froud did admit that he toned down their appearance from the earliest incarnations, because those were far too grotesque and potato-like.

The Dark Crystal / int_5345de5	comment	Strange-Syntax Speaker: The Chamberlain speaks in a strange broken manner to the Gelflings. In the original version of the film, the Skeksis speak a Conlang, so the Chamberlain's was supposed to switch to broken English to communicate with the Gelflings in these scenes. The Conlang was removed, but his broken speech wasn't altered. It could perhaps be explained as the Chamberlain assuming that the Gelflings are simple-minded. His speech is similarly broken throughout The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, even though he speaks more normally around Skeksis in this film.

Then as they aged for a thousand years, their true nature slowly manifested itself as a rotting from the inside out. They could reverse their decay by drinking the vital essence of other living creatures, but the effect was always temporary.

The Dark Crystal / int_f19ee38d	type	Fantasy Aliens
The Dark Crystal / int_f19ee38d	comment	Fantasy Aliens: The Skeksis, and their counterparts the Mystics hail from another planet, or rather, their original combined forms, the urSkeks, do. This series actually uses this concept with Gaia-style philosophy where in the regular inhabitants of the planet get to become one with the planet upon their death while the Skeksis as aliens simply cease to exist upon death. Where they originally came from or why they came to Thra (or even how) is left largely unanswered. Creation Myths reveal that the original urSkeks arrived on Thra during the first Conjunction, with the narration stating that they "stepped across the cold vastness of space" through the power of the Crystal, possibly a wormhole. The graphic novel also implies that they might have been exiled from their homeworld due to possessing darker qualities than the rest of their kind, and their attempt at removing those aspects of themselves during the second Conjunction, which resulted in the creation of the Mystics and Skeksis instead, was due to their desire to be allowed to return home.

The Dark Crystal / int_f97b5d33	comment	Shoo Out the Clowns: The film pulls off an impressive feat by doing this during the opening studio logo. The Universal logo animates, and a dark chord blasts on the soundtrack. Then the score starts playing the theme proper, and the viewer knows full well this is not going to be your regular Muppet movie.

The Dark Crystal / int_fb0382ea	comment	Merger of Souls: The wise urRu/Mystics and the wicked Skeksis were created when the Dark Crystal shattered. They were two halves of the souls of the urSkeks, powerful immortal beings who sought to purify themselves of evil but instead divided themselves into two halves: the Mystics and the Skeksis. In the climax of the film, the crystal is mended by the hero Jen, and the two races are made one once more.
