RetroDaze - Thread | The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

i just finished the series and saw the documentary and WOW, what a show.

Anyone who grew up with the 1982 Jim Henson fantasy classic who is either an 80s kid or a 90s kid (ones who saw it on video or on Disney Channel in the 90s) or even those who are 80s/90s kids hybrids like me (born 37 years ago and adored the movie for for 33 years since i was 4 when my parents bought me the movie on VHS at 4 then 25 years ago i rebought the movie on Disney's VHS when i was 12 in 94 then in 2000 i replaced the tape with DVD then in 2009 with blu-ray and last year i bought the ultraHD 4K BD which is my first UltraHD 4K BD purchase).

What do you get when you cross Game of Thrones, Robert E Howard, Frank Herbert, George Martin, JRR Tolkein, Demolition Man (themes of so-called benevolent leaders where rebels can see greed and deception), Avatar (both airbender and Cameron), Fire and Ice (1983), Star Wars, Legend of Zelda and Fraggle Rock? you get this epic series.

I love the world building, different gelfling tribes, the origin of how Skektek got his eye removed and all that. Maybe in season 2 we'll get a flashback of how the Urseks came and split into the two different races. All in 10 60 minute episodes in a miniseries kind of way. Even some rousing action in episode 10.

And i hear there will be more mystics in season 2 and maybe in season 2 even Garthims and maybe a background flashback of the Urseks.

This is using practical effects, animatronics, people in suits, puppets, cgi, models and all balanced together and is a passion project made by people who have an actual love of the original and honoring Henson's legacy and respecting the material just like Blade Runner 2049 was to Blade Runner as that was an excellent sequel.

This and Blade Runner 2049 succeeded, like Blade Runner 2049 and this show are made by people who care/respect the source material and do new stories even passion for the project. This looks like it's doing Jim proud! and nice cast too even Mark Hamil as the scientist.

Good job Jim Henson Company! my favorite show of the year as it's my new favorite Netflix show followed by Stranger Things, Castlevania, Toys that made us, Bojack Horseman, Daredevil, Punisher,Love Death and Robots, Voltron Legendary Defender and more.

The ability of the show's crew to recapture what made the original movie so amazing, all while beautifying the scenery with modern technology, makes this series something truly special.
