/hmmm/ Dark Crystal

>I guess because the gelfling are shit. They don't have any tactical experience
They showed decent amount of tactics with the idea to irritate the Skeksis' senses with those smoke bombs, but they really didn't do much with that as they still failed to even injure any other Skeksis. Plus the Gelfling did kinda give up when Mal grabbed hold of Rian in the end. It shows that the Gelfling have this moral inflexibility that ended up causing them to fail to make any real gains from the battle (the Skeksis' casualties were all due to things outside the Gelfling's capabilities)

The meta explanation is that the battle is not the best written scene and the writrs got a little stuck. The in-world explanation is that gelfling are terrible at actual fighting and do not have a killer instinct like the skeks and the arathim do. The arathim beat the gelfling with no problems before the show, even though they are absolute jobbers.

>the Gelfling have this moral inflexibility
Which is something I love about this whole story since it results in the near extinction of their kind. We're so used to the sweet naive good guys winning through non-violent means, but they get completely and utterly rekt. I think that's kind of an important thing for kids to learn about, that the good guys don't always win. It's a doggy dog world out there bucko.

The gelfling are like children in many ways - and first Aughra took care of them, then the urSkeks and skeksis gave them everything.
It makes Jen and Kira facing reality and confronting terrible things in the film like pottery, because after the urSkeks leave, they are finally 'grown up' and they can live their lives on their terms because they are no longer naive.

Perhaps.
Maybe that's my mindset.

Crooked castles are plentiful in fiction, and do look somewhat similar, Last Unicorn has one, so did Black Cauldron. Might be one of those

Gelfling fight dirty, they have no honor. Plus his job is to for serve the Emperor as his bed warmer so he does a great job there

hopefully not, that movie kinda sucks

Happy cringe day, puppet fucker!

The scene where that dude's horse dies from depression was more horrifying than everything in Dark Crystal combined

I think that's more because it's a real horse that looks like it really is drowning. Kinda fucked up.

There's an urban legend that the horse drowned in real life, but it really didn't. But they said it took months of training to get it to stay calm in neck deep water
