The Dark Crystal was a film from the 80's made by Jim henson and Frank oz.
It's a dark fantasy about ******* vultures that suck the life off living beings to live on and a group of gelflings (******* elves) that are near extinct.

Its not the greatest movie of all time, but **** is it full of heart and effort. The character
designs are creepy af and the whole world is something out of lovecraft. I've seen the **** out of this and maybe some of you as well, so you all know what it feels like to continue this odd story of skeksis and wizards.

FUN FACT: In Stranger Things, you can find a poster of the Dark Crystal in Mikes room.

I thought the whole point was to learn about dope flags from almost unknown countries.

This list in particular was more to just spot rare flags in the comments. If you want, I'll start doing flag-history posts at some point

So what is this age of resistance thing suppose to be about?

I'm assuming the first movie ended in something of a cliffhanger.

I think it takes place before the dark crystal
Probably to flesh out the world, history and characters.
Or the crystal cracked again and the skeksis are trying to take over again.
A lot of people who saw this at a young age say the same thing me included : this scared me/scared me/traumatized me

Its like a neverending story, with vultures.

The movie ended pretty conclusively, but the writers had so many ideas for the world that they've been writing prequel books for years. I suppose they have some ideas that take place after the movie, as well. Or maybe it's another prequel, who knows.

I used to watch Dark Crystal as much as I could as a kid. I'm surprised it didn't give me nightmares with how creepy the puppets are...

Honestly, I disagree with some of his criticisms. For example, the plot hole of the skeksi emperor not maintaining youth despite drinking youth giving escense was explained within seconds of that entire scene the escense was being extracted from the podlings. This makes me think he either intentionally overlooked some parts of the movie so he could have some things to criticize, or he forgot some of those inconsistencies he pointed out were explained in the movie if he paid enough attention. Yea, the film is not perfect, but some of those criticisms he made are just wrong. But that's just my opinion.

Professional puppetry and practical effects always feel more real than computer graphics because it's actually physically existing.

Well, it'll probably be about the Gelflings being against the Skeksis, in a sort of resistence I guess one would say, so my guess is that you'll probably be able to find SOME way to make it about politics so you can gripe about it and feel cool.
