This is Pigsy and That is His Spoon

I've been rewatching Monkie Kid again since the season 4 special is apparently out if my social feed has anything to say about it. As I was watching I found details I missed during my previous viewings, but somehow it took me until now to notice this.

In episode 9 of season 1 (which is still by far my favorite episode of season 1 for obvious reasons) after MK fails to attack Macaque's war form it pans out to show that Pigsy also failed to attack it.

I only now noticed that not only are MK and Pigsy in the same pose, but PIGSY ATTACKED MACAQUE'S WAR FORM WITH A SPOON! A SPOON!

Pigsy is among the elite group of characters that used a spoon in a fight. Other characters in this group include Hup the Poding from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and the 12th Doctor (aka the Peter Capaldi doctor) from Doctor Who.

Do you think anyone in DC would be a worthy adversary to Hup, the podling?

Hup is only maybe one foot tall so I'd feel bad trying to make anyone fight him 😭

But honestly the answer is no one is a worthy adversary to Hup.

I wonder if we ever are going to know what became of them.

“Who are you?”

highlights from the dark crystal con include:

* Elder Cadia has a facial tick inspired by the turtle-beak-like end to his mouth, to smack his lips.  You can catch him doing it in the powdered nulroot scene in episode 2 (thank you Olly Taylor for telling me this!)

* Lisa Maxwell, voice of Kira, actually developed Kira’s “talk with flowers”/”talk to the animals” language on her own!  Jim Henson had given her direction to make sounds “calling” to them, and invited her to ad lib.  She ended up drawing inspiration from her recent vacation to Spain!

* I met @timeagainreviews​!  yes, the creator of the SkekGra Pizza Parade video!!!!  <3 <3 <3 I was SO HAPPY and she is SO FUNNY.  a discussion of kermit cooking miss piggy Hannibal-style might have been discussed XD​

* hup is from an archaic, more formal culture of podlings that is more rare, which involves speaking in longer more formal sentences, referring to the recipient, etc.  basically he’s a glorious extinct knight podling (thank you J M Lee and Victor Yerrid for telling us this!)

* from the costume design panel - the gourmand’s codpiece was a squeaky toy

I finally watched the Dark Crystal television series. I have no idea why I waited so long, it was a great show. It did upset me that the show ended with a cliffhanger and wasn’t renewed for a second season. Ugh. My favorite character in the series was Hup the valiant paladin. Handsome and deadly. www.deadcatcomix.com

While being dragged back into my Steven Universe phase, I can’t stop thinking about the song It’s Over, Isn’t It? from Hup’s perspective about Rian and Deet’s relationship

And don’t get me started on Do It For Him/Her

What I’m getting at here is Hup is the Pearl to Deet’s Rose Quartz and I am losing it HELP ME--

Hello Dark Crystal Community.

[mythicalgeek]

The Dark Crystal Age Of Resistance is a tragically underrated work of art.

If your a fan of fantasy like Lord of the rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars please give The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance a watch.

Its a prequel series to the 80s movie and it's one of the best fantasy shows in recent years and goes back to classic fairytales and mythical storytelling.

Everything is mostly done with practical effects and only uses CGI where it's really necessary. The show also brings back puppetry and even though none of the character's are humans there's more humanity in this show than most media we get today.

The world of thra is a magical and strange place that you find yourself immersed in, with all the creatures and beuaty of the natural world at full display you find yourself encanted by it.

The gelfings are really adorable and you can't help but care about them, the main three protagonists have well flushed out personalities and each one has a interesting journey they go on that lead them to start the resistance and the quest to save there world.

The Skekies are really creepy and make for some pretty great villains. There motivation and interactions are giving just as much time as the heros, they rule thra with cruelty and manipulation, stealing the live force of the planet and the then the gelfing. There some of the most terrifying villains we've gottan in the last few years and I gotta say, I was absolutely horrifying by them.

This show does a lot of things right and one of them is how it writes the female characters. Deet and Brea (the two female leads) are very feminine heroines who are kind, empathetic, intuitive, clever and strong without it being showed in our faeces. Even when the female characters are warriors or soldiers there femininity is not devalued or see as a weakness. We also have more complex characters like Seledon and the gelfing leaders (who are all female) and it's just so nice to have a fantasy show that handels the female reputation so beautifully.

At the same time the male character's are also written with the same amount of care and respect, for example Rian (the main male lead) is a soldier who after finding out the truth about the skekies, is faced with the hard challenge of spreading the truth while dealing with loss and trauma, we see plenty of moments where his aloud to be vulnerable and we see him grow into a strong leader for the resistance.

We also have Hup who even though he is a side character, is a lovable podling who steals every sence he's in. He dreams of becoming a hero and has such a heartwarming friendship with Deet it's hard not to love him and want more of him.

All the relationships between the gelfing feel so intimate and pure, wheater there familial, platonic or romantic the show gives us so many beautifully written relationship and dynamics, that add to the emotional core of the story.

There's also some political drama with the gelfling clans and the skekies as they try to hold on to there power, it's done in a way that both kid's and adults can follow.

The action is surprisingly good for show with only puppets, we have sowrd fights, flying gelfings dropping booms, wild carriage rides and it's really exciting and done well.

There is only 1 season unfortunately but it's still worth the watch, I do have to warn everyone that there is a lot of scary and truely horrifying moments so if your sensitive maybe give this a pass, but there's a balance between the dark and whimsical and there's so many funny and sweet moment's that allow you two catch your breath.

This series is a hidden gem in the world of fantasy and that's a dame shame because it is everything you could whant from a epic fantasy story that we just dont see a lot of anymore.

I like shows like The Witcher and Rings of power but none of those shows have captured my imagination or sense of wonder like the dark crystal aor did. I have so much love for this beautiful, weird, creepy, wonderful, magical puppet show and I wish it got more recognition for the work of art it truly is.

The Dark Crystal Age Of Resistance is pure magic and deserve so much more attention. It's on Netflix so check it out if your looking for some good fantasy.
