The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance	comment	The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is a Netflix-produced series directed by Louis Leterrier. It is a prequel to the 1982 fantasy film that was directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, The Dark Crystal. Just like the original film, it features animatronic puppets created and performed by Henson's Creature Shop and is based on designs by Brian Froud.The world of Thra is dying. The Crystal of Truth is at the heart of Thra, a source of untold power. But it is damaged, corrupted by the evil Skeksis, and a sickness spreads across the land. When three Gelfling — Rian, Brea and Deet — uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, an adventure unfolds as the fires of rebellion are lit and an epic battle for Thra's future begins.The first season's ten episodes premiered on Netflix on August 30th, 2019. Producer Lisa Henson (daughter of Jim) hopes for further seasons. A video game, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, was released in February 2020, and a 12 issue prequel comic book series, also titled The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, from Boom! Studios began in September 2019, divided into three serials telling the story of Ordon and the Dual Glaive, the misadventures of Hup and a thieving bard, and a high-seas adventure that All Maudra Mayrin went on during her youth.Years prior, running from 2016 to the week of the show's release, the characters and events of the series were introduced in a series of Young Adult novels by J.M. Lee, consisting of Shadows of the Dark Crystal, Song of the Dark Crystal, Tides of the Dark Crystal and Flames of the Dark Crystal. However, because these books worked off of an early story bible for what became the series, the books and show diverge from each other just as much as they share events and story beats.The series has quite a substantial voice acting cast, which is detailed below.

Previously the Gelfling lost every fight they had with the Skeksis, this time the females in their party did a bombing run with smoke bombs which panicked and distracted the Skeksis for a long enough time for reinforcements to close in.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Each episode's title is named after a quote from the 1982 film ("End. Begin. All the Same."; "Nothing Is Simple Anymore"; "What Was Sundered and Undone"; "The First Thing I Remember Is Fire"; "She Knows All the Secrets"; "By Gelfling Hand..."; "Time to Make... My Move"; "Prophets Don't Know Everything"; "The Crystal Calls"; "A Single Piece Was Lost"). Episode 9 has the Scientist say "Another world. Another time" - the same words that opened the original film. In Episode 8, Aughra says "It's time to make my move" - also the same line spoken by the Chamberlain in the original film, when trying to become emperor. Except here, Aughra's move ultimately succeeded. After Maudra Fara challenges Seladon to Trail by Air she mentions the meeting place to be "Raunip's Pass". In the "Creation Myths" comic series, Raunip is Aughra's son. While he has not made a physical appearance, this implies he did exist in some capacity.

Despite this, the Skeksis are still trusted and revered as the lords of Thra because they protect the Crystal. If the Gelflings judged by outward appearance alone, they would instantly know how trustworthy and kind the Skeksis truly are Beneath the Mask. Inverted with Mother Augra who, despite being the Big Good of the series, looks like the offspring of Granny Goodness and The Cryptkeeper.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_30ab0aa1	comment	Worldbuilding: The series offers a good look at the world of Thra, which was populated by Gelflings before the Skeksis took over, expanding it in a manner the 1982 film couldn't due to the Gelflings being nearly extinct by then. The series reveals that Gelflings were a diverse people, with seven different clans living in very different worlds, and each having a very distinct aesthetic. While we see familiar Gelfling types to Jen and Kira, we’re treated to wholly new ones, such as the dark-skinned, desert-dwelling Dousan. The geography of Thra is greatly expanded, exploring the various locales of Thra not seen in the film, such as the cave dwelling of Domrak and the Crystal Desert. The wildlife of Thra is shown to be much more diverse, and we see other beasts of burden used by the Gelflings and Skeksis. Two new sentient races are introduced: the Gruenaks, an industrious and technologically-savvy race nearly exterminated by the Skeksis, and the Arathim, spider-like creatures with a hive mind that can control Gelfling bodies. The series reveals the origin of the Garthim.

Practically lampshaded by Aughra herself when she tells the Emperor she wasn't sure it would work.

Even when they're old, flabby and have limited fighting experience, the Skeksis are far bigger and stronger than a Gelfling and this gives the Skeksis an almost insurmountable advantage. The rebellious Palace guards found this out when they tried to take the palace and despite a huge numbers advantage, the Skeksis completlely kicked the guards's ass. Then there was Ordon and Rian losing against skekMal near the gobblers.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_3bc88a7f	type	Foregone Conclusion
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_3bc88a7f	comment	Foregone Conclusion: Anyone who's seen the original film knows what will happen: Thra will become a dying, decaying world thanks to the Darkening, and the landscape around the Crystal Castle will become a barren empty desert. Most of the Skesis will survive — with the Emperor remaining undefeated until his deathbed, and the Chamberlain in his current position in the court at the beginning of the movie. The three new Skeksis won't make it to the time of the film. Aughra will survive, the Dark Crystal will remain shattered, the essence draining device will be "refined" with a mirror that drains the essence solely through the eyes and zombifies the victims to serve as slaves to the Skeksis instead of disintegrating them, and the Gelflings will be exterminated by the Garthim, with only Jen and Kira as the sole (known) survivors of their species. However, with the show’s cancellation, how exactly things will get to that state after the triumphant ending of the first season has been left up in the air, especially given the fan theory that this is an alternate continuity where the Gelflings win.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_3ea7916d	comment	Immortality Immorality: Living for nearly one thousand Trinenote And at least one thousand more while they were still urSkeks has really done a number on the Skeksis' morality. They weren't so awful in their early days if Aughra is to be believed, but now they see themselves as superior to all living things of Thra because they presume to live forever while everything else ages and dies. The Skeksis' own slow but inescapable aging and decay has made them panic to the point where there is nothing else they will not destroy to gain more life. Their draining of the Dark Crystal to stay alive has corrupted it, and by extent, all of Thra; after it stops working properly, they begin draining the essence of innocent Gelfling to unnaturally extend their lifespan, which is only hastening the corruption of Thra and themselves too.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_5345de5	comment	Strange-Syntax Speaker: The Chamberlain speaks in a broken, clipped manner, often dropping minor words from his speech. This is a lingering effect of the first film's initial plan to give the Skeksis a Conlang. Most of the Chamberlain's dialogue in the film was supposed to be delivered in broken Gelfling to Jen and Kira because he wasn't fluent in their language. While the Skeksis Conlang was dropped, the Chamberlain's broken speech in his scenes with the Gelflings remained without explanation. Even though he speaks more normally to other Skeksis in the film, the series uses his broken speech in all situations.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_71cc4b5a	comment	Descent into Addiction: This is clearly what is happening to the Skeksis as they drain and consume Gelfling essence. They need more and more of it, but the more they consume, the more the Darkening poisons Thra and hastens the Skeksis' own corruption. It even poisons their behavior and attitude towards the Gelflings, causing them to gleefully abandon any pretense of being noble guardians of the Crystal. They even welcome the freedom of finally getting to be Obviously Evil once skekVar the General murders the Gelfling All-Maudra in a fit of rage when she openly defies him. Exactly how immoral they've always been is a bit of a debatable point, but either way, their addiction to the essence triggers something they can't turn back from. Their greed for it is such that they immediately dismiss the Chamberlain's concerns that their rate of consumption will rapidly eliminate the supply as a hindrance to their immortality, as well as his fear of the Geflings learning their true nature. Even the Scientist's fears about the Darkening and use of the Crystal are ignored by the Emperor (It's telling how essence is affecting the Skeksis when Chamberlain and Scientist, two of the more logically inclined and pragmatic members of the group, have consumed the least amount of essence at that point).

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Thrice: When demanding that skekTek find a solution to the problem of their aging, skekSo says "I did not build an empire simply to watch it turn to dust!" Guess what happens to him in the original movie. SkekTek gets into trouble in the Chamber of Life when the Crystal starts draining him and he is rescued by skekSil, who chides him, "You must be careful. I will not always be here to save you." This both foreshadows his later fight against his rebellious Gruenak assistants, who give him a good thrashing before he gains the upper hand and his eventual death when he falls down the Shaft after Kira has all his animals attack him. When Deet sees the future events, she sees what looks like Kira's mother hiding her daughter away from the Garthim and Jen healing the Dark Crystal. SkekTek nearly being drained by the Crystal foreshadows the missing Crystal piece hidden in the Dual Glaive when the sword started to drain the General's essence when Rian stab him.

In his next appearance, his mechanical eye is installed, as he appeared in the film. In the original film, after the Podlings are drained for their essence and consumed by the Skeksis, they comment it doesn't last long and Gelfling essence was better. This series reveals how much better Gelfling essence actually was. Also Subverted in that the original film showed that consuming essence temporarily restored the Skeksis to a youthful appearance, while their outward appearance is as decrepit as ever in the series, no matter how much essence they drink.

The Skeksis' empire controls Thra and is more or less still benevolent to the Gelflings, but it has now finally begun the slow decline from its heyday when the Skeksis didn't need to poison and destroy the land to keep themselves alive. The Gelfling race still thrives, the Garthim have not yet been created, and the Skeksis have only just discovered the power of the Crystal to drain life essence from other creatures. The Skeksis' selfish and poisonous nature is still very much hidden from the Gelflings, but their mask of affability has finally begun to slip.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: What the ending of the first season amounts to. The seven clans of Gelfling and the Arathim unite and drive back the Skeksis at Stone-In-The-Wood, Aughra manages to come back to life, and the General, Hunter, and Collector are all dead. Not only that, but Brea discovers the Crystal Shard was hidden inside the Dual Glaive, the key to healing the Dark Crystal and ending Skeksis' power over Thra. Aughra gives a speech as the Gelfling/Arathim alliance celebrates, though she also tellingly warns that hope is fragile and can easily be broken. Not only did the Gelfling suffer some casualties, among them Maudra Fara, but the Archer had to give his own life to finally put an end to his counterpart the Hunter, and Deet has become so infected by the Darkening that she corrupts Thra simply by existing, forcing her to leave her friends, with Rian sadly having to watch her go. And when the Skeksis retreat back to the castle, a triumphant Scientist reveals he has succeeded in creating the first of the Garthim from combining a dead Arathim with corpse of one of his Gruenak slaves. It's a grim reminder that while the Resistance has won the first battle, they are doomed to lose the war, leaving things for Jen and Kira to fix later on. It's also implied that at least three missing Skeksis (of five) are being recalled to the castle, among them skekUng, who will become known as the Garthim-Master, and eventually succeed skekSo as Emperor.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_cf168867	type	The Corruption
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_cf168867	comment	The Corruption: The first sign that the Skeksis are not the benevolent overlords the Gelfling believe them to be; the Darkening of the Crystal of Truth is slowly poisoning Thra and corrupting its plant life, which when eaten by the animal life is turning them hostile and violent. Drained essence also "corrupts" the Skeksis, causing them to act like drunks and exacerbate their already malicious behavior. It's probably best seen when the Scientist indulges on his secret essence stash and pretends to be the Emperor.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_d366883d	comment	Mortality Phobia: The prime motivation for all the Skeksis do. They want to cheat death because unlike the natives of Thra, they do not go back to the lifeforce of Thra when they die. What's more, the Emperor himself fears what may be waiting for them if there is any sort of Afterlife for the Skeksis. In particular, he is terrified that he'll be forced to feel guilt and remorse for his actions, like he could before he was divided.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: Everything the Skeksis do to cheat death and maintain their rule is contributing to their own eventual demise, from ravaging the land to consuming the life essence of the Gelflings, to harnessing the Darkening itself; all of it is hastening their growing decrepitude and putrefaction while they still live. As bad as this situation is for the Skeksis, it is made exponentially worse by the fact that the life force of Thra and the Gelflings are a limited resource that the Darkening is already destroying.

Later on, skekTek calls himself the single most abused creature on Thra...while simultaneously abusing his slaves and performing horrific experiments on various wildlife of Thra.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance / int_e16d7741	comment	No Immortal Inertia: As established in the original film, this is the fate of a slain Skeksis or urRu. The former gruesomely implode into dust while the latter fare more pleasantly by dissipating into motes of light. The Skeksis, whom it is implied have never seen one of their own kind die before, are initially shocked to see this happen and savvy viewers will note the lack of this to indicate that the Hunter and the Archer are Not Quite Dead.

The Skeksis violently stripping Seladon is very much like the Chamberlain's banishment. "I will never be dust!" declares the Skeksis Emperor, who literally crumbled to dust in the movie. Skektek throwing the Gruenak down the Shaft mirrors his own death in the film.

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.
