Finished my 5th rewatch of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and I still adore it with all my heart. I cried again as well.
I’m so frustrated and heartbroken that we’re not getting a second season. Everyday I pray that it’ll get picked up by another network or get a book/comic sequel but that seems more unlikely with each passing day. I love this show and I’d say it’s in my top 3 favorite shows of all time.
It’s beautiful, fun, and has great characters. I’ll always revisit AoR if I need something fun to watch. I just wish we’d get to see the rest of the story.
I love The Dark Crystal and I’ll continue to sing its praises til the day I die

Round 1, Side B - Lancelot (Arthuriana) vs. Hup (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)
Propaganda:
Lancelot (Arthuriana)
Iconic figure in arthurian mythos, and a strong influence on the "knight in shining armor" character archetype that we know and love today. While his exact lore varies a lot, some key details are that he was brought up in Arthur's court by the Lady of the Lake as the perfect example of chivalry, was one of the knights of the Round Table, and was the father of Galahad. His name is also really fun to say but that's just my opinion. He did have an affair with the king's wife Guinevere that led to the downfall of the knights of the Round Table, though.
Hup (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)
He fights evil with a spoon as his main weapon. His friendship with Deet is wholesome af and he stood up to SkekMal, one of the most terrifying physical threats in the whole series, to keep Deet and her friends safe. Short king in every way.

The Vaprans definitely have a fashion based society
Hup dresses Deet up extra fancy so the guards escort her into the palace with no question.
You don’t need an appointment as long as you pass the charisma check

I must ask the forbidden question.
Does Rian ever get to be happy... And can I give him a cookie. If they eat those.🪻
He does! In his good end he gets a big family of friends that care a lot about him and help him unlearn a lot of BAD behaviors from Mal.
Speaking of Mal...
He would really appreciate that cookie

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

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
