and publish huh 23 minute long movie
0:06
review about an 80s puppet movie sure is
0:08
different than the content I usually
0:09
post and even though it was a lot of
0:11
work it was fun to try something new and
0:13
I think the video turned out pretty good
0:15
am I right Chamberlain funkopop mm-hmm
0:19
well it's a good thing I'll never ever
0:22
have to worry about this franchise ever
0:24
again are you sure about that when I
0:28
made a review about a cult classic
0:29
puppet movie that came out 35 years ago
0:32
the last thing I was expecting was that
0:35
said franchise would get a reboot
0:37
announced two weeks after I posted and
0:39
every single day since then people have
0:41
been tweeting at me saying hey James did
0:44
you know Netflix is making a Dark
0:45
Crystal series yes I know do you know
0:49
who you're talking to if you don't know
0:51
what the heck I'm talking about then I
0:53
recommend you watch my video the movie
0:55
that was too scary for baby James
0:57
in that video I reviewed a scary kid's
0:59
movie called the Dark Crystal the movie
1:02
was more or less a passion project of
1:04
Jim Henson the creator of the Muppets
1:05
and so this movie was done entirely with
1:08
puppets it came out before I was born
1:10
but I still somehow watched it and got
1:12
scarred for life in my review I said
1:14
some good things about the movie like I
1:15
thought it was a very creative and
1:17
artistic film but I also said some
1:20
negative things about it too as
1:21
youtubers sometimes we forget that our
1:24
videos are public and can be viewed by
1:26
anyone and when we talk about companies
1:28
we can forget that real people are
1:30
attached to those properties who have
1:32
poured hundreds of hours into these
1:34
projects and there's a chance they'll
1:36
see our videos and unbeknownst to me
1:38
Lissa Henson current CEO of the Henson
1:41
Company saw my video and for some reason
1:44
I never considered that was ever going
1:47
to happen if I had known that Lisa
1:49
freakin Henson was gonna watch my video
1:52
I probably would have worded a few
1:54
things differently I don't think she was
1:55
too mad at my video though because she
1:57
invited me to tour the Henson office and
1:59
I got to see a real-life Skeksis puppet
2:01
which resurfaced an unhealthy amount of
2:03
repressed memories and I got to meet
2:05
some of the puppeteers which was a whole
2:06
lot of fun also before age of resistance
2:09
was released I got contacted by Netflix
2:11
and they invited me and some other Dark
2:13
Crystal fans to an
2:14
early screening of the first two
2:15
episodes and I signed a nondisclosure
2:16
agreement so I couldn't spoil anything I
2:19
don't remember when that NDA said I was
2:21
allowed to talk about it again but
2:22
hopefully I'm in the clear when I was in
2:24
the early screening I just remember
2:26
thinking about how cool that these
2:27
characters in this world were back on
2:29
the big screen Netflix has a pre big
2:32
screen and the puppetry and
2:33
cinematography have only gotten better
2:35
and the fact that 95% of everything was
2:38
done with practical effects and puppets
2:40
it's it's beautiful there's not a single
2:42
human in this series except in episode
2:44
10 when this puppeteers head can be seen
2:47
for a couple frames I just checked and
2:49
they actually took it out so I still saw
2:53
it so much time and care and hard work
2:56
was put into this series that there is a
2:57
documentary made about how hard it was
2:59
to make this series if any of you are
3:01
wondering know where unep does not make
3:04
an appearance in age of resistance nor
3:06
is there a naked baby Jen puppet also if
3:09
you're worried that the show wasn't
3:10
going to be as dark and scary as the
3:12
original don't worry it's darker and
3:15
scarier than the original the Netflix
3:17
Family Twitter account was nice enough
3:19
to timestamp every scary part in the
3:21
series and as you can see stuff goes
3:23
down in episode 10 surprisingly though
3:25
they didn't blacklist the scene of the
3:27
Skeksis peeing out of three different
3:28
piece streams in episode 6 at 28 minutes
3:31
and 41 seconds really makes you think so
3:34
artistically this series is beautiful
3:37
and it needs to do well because it's
3:38
left open for a season 2 and I want to
3:40
season 2 to get greenlit I'm not gonna
3:42
do a plot summary of the whole thing
3:43
like I did in the first review because I
3:45
don't want this video to be an hour long
3:47
and you should watch it for yourself I'm
3:48
not just gonna do everything for you I'm
3:50
not your mom but there are some things
3:52
you should know before you go watching
3:54
the series this is kind of spoilery but
3:56
I won't spoil that much so this alien
3:59
planet is home to these creatures called
4:01
gelfling z' they can share memories with
4:03
each other by holding hands and the girl
4:05
Kell flings have wings there's also this
4:07
other creature called agura who's been
4:09
around since the beginning of the world
4:10
she's basically Yoda's sassy grandma and
4:13
then at a know where these true aliens
4:15
visit stay with me here and they cracked
4:18
this very important crystal and in doing
4:20
so they split into two different
4:22
creatures their goodness becomes this
4:24
thing called a mystic who are dumb and
4:26
their bad side
4:27
these cool bird monsters called Skeksis
4:30
and then the Skeksis took over the
4:31
entire world so whoops none of this is
4:34
explained in the original movie and it's
4:36
not explained in the series until
4:37
episode 7 but I think that the tree
4:39
alien backstory should have started the
4:41
series which is why I just spoiled it
4:44
for you
4:44
the original 90-minute film already had
4:47
so much lore and this new Netflix reboot
4:50
just added even more lore there's even a
4:52
character named lore how much lore is
4:55
there speaking of names there are a lot
4:58
of made-up words in this series and
4:59
sometimes those made-up words are hard
5:02
to remember within the first minute of
5:04
age of resistance the narrator tells us
5:06
that there are seven clans to the
5:08
skeleton but that only names three
5:10
because there are only three important
5:11
ones that we should care about I don't
5:13
even know the names of the other four
5:14
clans and I'm like a Dark Crystal
5:16
aficionado also there are like ten evil
5:18
bird monsters all with names like sketch
5:21
so sketch Hill sketch Tech and Shrek
5:24
granted most of the time they go by
5:26
their more common names like Chamberlain
5:28
or the Emperor but gosh dang it I can't
5:31
even remember some of those names
5:33
that's the one and that's the one
5:35
that made that weird face in the
5:37
original movie and that's the one whose
5:39
voice does not sound like a Skeksis at
5:40
all now what vex is you child another
5:44
thing you should know is that I thought
5:46
this series was pretty slow maybe it's
5:49
because I'm impatient or I'm used to
5:51
watching YouTube videos at two x speeds
5:53
exclusively but do you remember in the
5:55
original movie how there was a scene
5:57
where the Skeksis ate dinner for two
5:59
whole minutes and visually it was
6:01
amazing but the whole time you're
6:03
thinking yeah I get it
6:05
well there are a lot of scenes like that
6:07
in the series let's take the beginning
6:09
of episode 2 for example it starts with
6:11
a character we've never seen before
6:13
waking up and putting on his shoes and
6:17
making porridge and then spilling the
6:21
porch on his shirt and brushing his hair
6:25
then roughing it up and grabbing his
6:29
cleaning supplies and it's just a whole
6:32
minute of this unnamed character getting
6:34
ready for his day it's just so poor just
6:36
cut it please
6:37
I don't want to be that bad if this was
6:38
the only example but trust
6:41
me there are plenty of examples I just
6:43
don't want to spoil any of them for you
6:44
turning a 90 minute movie into a nine
6:47
hour TV series you're going to have some
6:49
filler or some scenes that don't
6:50
necessarily drive the plot forward I get
6:53
that luckily I found this chrome plug-in
6:55
that lets you watch Netflix at 2 times
6:57
speed so it's all good making this video
7:00
has got me thinking about prequels and
7:01
how tricky they are to do right in the
7:03
original movie there are only two
7:05
gelfling x' left in the entire world so
7:07
a prequel that sets up a world with
7:09
seven different gelfling clans we as an
7:11
audience know that something's gonna
7:13
happen and it ain't gonna look good for
7:14
the kill fling the series also added
7:16
this MacGuffin halo sword looking thing
7:18
that was supposed to save the world but
7:21
the whole time watching that I kept
7:22
thinking no that's not how the world is
7:26
saved the world is not saved until 1982
7:28
also there are certain characters that
7:30
we know can't die because they're in the
7:32
original movie but boy does this show
7:35
make you thinks emoji characters are
7:36
gonna die it almost makes me wish that
7:38
the writers use the 80s Dark Crystal
7:40
movie as inspiration and rebooted this
7:42
series in its own separate universe
7:44
movie reviewers tend to focus a lot on
7:46
the negatives and I don't want to come
7:48
off as a hater cuz I really did enjoy
7:49
this series and I want a season two to
7:51
get made so let's end this video with
7:53
some of the things I liked about this
7:55
series I liked that we got to see the
7:57
Skeksis with more personality because
7:58
they were always so over-the-top evil
8:01
the hunter Skeksis was just on a whole
8:03
new level of cool all the other Skeksis
8:05
never came across as threatening like
8:07
like look how slow they walk I could
8:09
beat them up with the hunter Skeksis oh
8:11
man he was view is awesome do you think
8:13
he'll be my friend I like that the
8:14
series didn't tone down the darkness and
8:16
if anything they amplified it because
8:18
everyone like me should have a
8:19
deep-seated fear of puppets there are
8:21
some great nods to the original Dark
8:23
Crystal like when the Emperor skeksi
8:25
says we all know that's the very first
8:33
thing he does in the original movie
8:35
celadon is a piece of garbage and does
8:36
not deserve a Redemption arc the voice
8:38
acting is amazing there are a lot of
8:41
talented people voicing these characters
8:42
like Luke Skywalker a youtuber named
8:44
Barney Dixon who made these very cool
8:46
Mantis finger puppets got to work on a
8:48
scene where the puppets put on a mini
8:50
puppet show and that was everything I
8:52
liked about Dark Crystal Age resistance
8:54
so in conclusion if you have nine hours
8:57
of free time download the video speed
8:59
controller plug-in set that bad boy to
9:00
two and save yourself four and a half
9:02
hours but do watch age of resistance
9:04
also executives
9:06
if you still need someone to play Rio
9:08
nip hello hey mmm good morning everyone
9:14
if you're wondering if this is a
9:16
sponsored video it's it's not I just
9:19
thought it was very weird that I made a
9:21
video about a movie that came out 35
9:23
years ago and then a year later Netflix
9:25
rebooted it isn't that just the crazy
9:28
world we live in what and also I wasn't
9:31
exaggerating when I said people would
9:33
tweet me this news every single day I
9:35
know guys you can stop telling me I hope
9:39
you're all having a good holiday and
9:40
speaking of holidays I just wanted to
9:42
remind everyone that there's some
9:44
holiday deals going on in the merch
9:45
store and you should order them soon so
9:47
you could get them before Christmas but
9:49
if you weren't fast enough then don't
9:51
worry because there's other odd ones out
9:53
merch at Target and 5 below and Hot
9:55
Topic and I don't know if they're in
9:57
select targets or something cuz they're
9:59
not in mine but I've had people tweet at
10:01
me saying that they found my mini plush
10:03
heads so the reason this video took
10:06
almost two months to make is because
10:07
I've been working on a second book whoa
10:10
it won't be available until late March
10:13
that is if I can reach all my deadlines
10:15
so we'll see but you can pre-order it
10:18
through the link in the description
10:19
below anyways thank you so much for
10:22
watching this advertisement about the
10:23
Dark Crystal
10:24
everyone say thank you to the team for
10:26
working on this video and wear your seat
10:28
belt
