There is a scene in the beginning where Shere Kahn kills Akela very suddenly. It never goes to the grotesque or graphic, but when a hero dies, it’s supposed to hurt or the creators aren’t doing their jobs. We lose several good guys, and even a few bad guys that make you ask what the hell you just saw. While we learn to love all these new characters, there are some viscous blows thrown and killings in some fights.
DARK CRYSTAL AGE OF RESISTANCE SEASON 2 SERIES
The Age or Resistance series stays firmly in the 80’s culture. 80’s kids had the Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, the death of Optimus Prime, Artax anyone? Today’s kids material treats kids like babies that can’t handle anything. The thing I love most about 80’s cartoons was that kids were treated like they were adults in many ways. Some simply have eclectic personalities, while others lead us into wtf hilarity such as bathing mud loving Podlings. These characters, combined with the familiar faces from the movie, and plenty of merriment and mirth along the way. Director Louis Leterrier, who directed all 10 episodes, added new faces andmade each one lovable and memorable, from valiant Hup, the spoon wielding podling, to The Heretic and his eccentric ways. It is because of this large time frame, directors can step into characters and enrich them add characters that otherwise would either be a 60 second shot or end up on the cutting room floor. The danger then is bloated scripts, but AoR did a perfect job not over filling scenes or plot points.
DARK CRYSTAL AGE OF RESISTANCE SEASON 2 MOVIE
If a story teller does not tell a very deep story, then these series formats can feel long and drawn out, but when you are essentially making a 10 hour movie with the option of future ‘movies’ aka-seasons, directors can tell stories and really develop all sorts of characters and story lines. It didn’t fit the tight window the director had to finish the story.
This is why so many times fans watch deleted scenes and wonder why the hell that key scene wasn’t in the movie. They must hit their plot points, their narrative points and wrap it all up.
When creators make a movie they have roughly two hours to get everything in. The advantage to seeing things like the Dark Crystal, Star Wars and so many other stories heading to streaming services is time. The colors were so rich and popped in every scene, it was a wonder to watch everything creators made. Using the CGI made things bigger, bolder, more beautiful. This new series took that same puppetry and design, but then used CGI to expand the set, giving it a scope and beauty similar to movies like Lord of the Rings or Lawrence of Arabia. What we saw stayed tightly focused on characters and action. In 1982 Henson did a great job with the puppetry and sets, but he was confined by the set. This devotion to the original preserved the aesthetics of the original, yet added to the depth and beauty. Of course advances in puppetry and animatronics in 35 years can help, but the creators stayed very close to what Jim Henson did and only slightly improved things instead of making it look new and different. Taking the Old and Making It New Skeksis – Old and NewĪge of Resistance took everything from 1982 that original creator Jim Henson did and improved upon it a thousand fold. My biggest gripe of the series only adds up to a couple of the Skeksis voices not being even close to the movie voices, and if that is all one can come up with…one has no complaints. I finished Age of Resistance in two very quick days, and have never had a series exceed everything I thought and hoped it could be the way this series did. I have been salivating for this series ever since I heard it was coming and especially since the trailer. Age Of Resistance Exceeds All Expectations Quite honestly, I would treat the books and series as two entirely different timelines/stories. In the series she interacts a great deal with her sisters, but in the books she manages to get transformed into a glass spider. The books actually take place at the same time as the series, but follows a different group of Gelfling on their adventures However, even here there are problems. Lee came before the series and led into it. In most of my previous articles I stated the four book series by J.M.
